Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. We do this every spring and fall, so the schedule fits the seasons without you having to think about it.
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 exterior window and gutter cleaning 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 window washing services for residential properties, and the window cleaning services we bundle with them, are quoted from those two numbers, so the figure we give you on the phone is the figure on the invoice. Ask for the number when you call or text, and we will tell you what it covers before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take the longest. A large window count, or oversized picture windows, takes longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes, and the grime packed into them adds time. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular wash, and we will tell you so up front. Gutters and downspouts are part of the job, and so are screen rinsing and sill wiping; none of it is billed on top of the quote.
We quote the exterior glass on this visit. A price for interior and exterior work together is a separate conversation, and we will not fold it into this number. On Waldorf jobs, the quickest route to a firm figure is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, so the glass is priced before anyone climbs a ladder. A customer with a two-story colonial and a steady run of regular cleanings will get a different number than a customer with a three-story house and a large set of windows, and we know which is which from the photo. Once we have the details, we give you a number that holds, and the crew does the work the way we quoted it.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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.
Across Maryland, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May and the fall visit runs November to early December, which is why one crew doing window and gutter cleaning in one visit makes sense. The timing is set by what we find on the glass and in the gutters at each visit.
In late spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In late fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until it freezes. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, so a run left full through a wet winter is the one to watch. Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos can move the dates, and a bad storm will sometimes put debris in the gutters that wasn't there in May. Once that debris is wet, the runoff from a clogged run goes down the wall and across the glass. A light film comes off easily, but a storm load that bakes on takes more work to remove dirt.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass are the usual case. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Cleaning solutions lift that film, but mineral spotting is etched into the outside pane, so cleaning the windows inside the house will not fix it. We tell you on the first visit which of these your house has, so you know whether two visits will do.
You will see the window need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will see the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one is the sign to book a visit.
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 crew works across Waldorf, and we book the estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot and the number we quote. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the first open date. Lead time depends on the season and the day. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the pollen and the leaves both come down. If you want a slot in those months, it helps to book early, because our calendar fills first in those weeks. Outside those windows, scheduling is easier, and we can usually fit in a visit without a long wait.
We bring professional window cleaning equipment and the same cleaning solutions to every job, so the glass comes out the same whether it is the first house on the street or the tenth. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the house that we can reach safely. On a residential window job, we flag any sill, screen or frame that needs more attention, and most window cleaners stop at the glass while we do the gutters too. Your curb appeal depends on the glass and the gutters both, and that is why we do them together.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans gutters and downspouts in one visit, and gutters always go first so that dirty water does not run onto clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote residential properties by phone or text. We do not give a figure without those details.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen and rain dust here, and that is the part you notice when the sun is low. A regular wash will remove dirt from the glass, but spotting from sprinklers needs more.
Across Maryland, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in November to early December, and we can schedule service in Waldorf around either window if you prefer.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff is cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing as part of this service, and interior and exterior glass are quoted separately if you want both.
This page covers residential window and gutter work in Waldorf. Ask about any commercial job when you call, and we will tell you whether we can take it.
If you own a condo, send the stories and the window count, and we will tell you whether the exterior work fits the same visit.
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. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
