Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book the pair in spring and fall, and we work the same way on every house. To get a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services for residential properties follow the same rule, and so do our window cleaning services. Each residential window counts toward the quote. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Window count matters, since every window gets its own pass, and so do oversized panes that need two people to handle safely. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Maryland, the simplest way to get the exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We can usually tell from that what the window count and gutter load look like before the crew is on the way. Window washing for a single-level home is quick, while a multi-level one is more work on the ladder, and that difference shows up in the price. Crews run the same routine on residential and commercial jobs, and on condos and multi-unit buildings, with the same order of work and the same care around runoff and roof drainage, so the quote reflects what is actually on the house. Gutters and downspouts get checked for blockage, grime and any sign of water damage, and anything that needs more than cleaning is photographed and reported. Our crew will remove dirt from the glass and the frames, and the gutters get cleared before we touch a window.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the window and gutter work. Across Maryland the pattern holds, and we adjust the dates to what each house sees.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste builds up in the gutters, so that is the first thing our crew checks. In fall the leaf load is the main job, and wind and storm seasons can move the dates by a few weeks in either direction. Cleaning solutions get matched to the glass and the frame, so that picture windows and a standard sash get the same care.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction tends to need more frequent cleanings. Our crew walks the lot on the first visit and tells you which schedule your house needs, so you get regular cleanings only where they are earned.
You will notice the glass needs attention when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and you will notice the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during heavy rain. Those two signs tell you most of what you need, and both show up from the ground. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
Our cleaning services have run across Urbana, and most of the calls we take come from the older neighborhoods where the gutters carry the most debris. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories with a photo of the house front. We then set a date, and we call before we come, so you know when to expect us.
Booking works in two busy windows of the year. The spring season and the fall leaf drop fill our calendar fast, so if you want a slot in either one, it helps to get the estimate early. Outside those windows, scheduling is easier and lead times are shorter. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and our crew does not come inside.
We handle houses of all sizes, from single-story ranches to multi-story buildings where the ladder work is more involved. For multi-story buildings we plan the access in advance and bring the right equipment for the height. Our experience with professional window cleaning and gutter work has taught us that a clean setup on the first visit prevents water damage later, and that clogged gutters are the first sign a house needs attention. Every job starts with a check of the lot so we can give you a straight answer on what it needs.
Yes, it is the same two people, and we do the gutters first and the glass last in one visit. That order keeps the wash water off the clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house with your story count and we will tell you the number before anyone is scheduled.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, rain film and sprinkler spotting that build up on the glass. A clean inside will still look hazy from the street if the outside is dirty, so the exterior is the part we focus on.
Across Maryland, most of our customers book in spring and fall, which is when the leaf loads and dust are heaviest. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to drip before touching the glass. Doing it in the other order means someone has to wash the windows a second time.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the exterior side. We do not bill these as extras on the visit.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior split is settled before the crew arrives. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing, but we can tell you what the house needs if you are considering either.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
