Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Maryland, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, after the seasonal leaf and seed drops have passed through.
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. Booked as one visit, our window cleaning services and gutter work cost less than the two cleaning services would cost on separate days. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story, a roof too steep to walk, multi-story buildings, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions for the frames are included too.
Across Maryland, the houses that cost the most on the day are the ones we could not measure from the phone. To get the exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the window and gutter cleaning will involve before we book it. Nothing about your house is assumed. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted the same way, starting from stories, window count and gutter length. The quote covers the exterior only, so nothing about interior and exterior work gets added to the bill by surprise.
| 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 have us out twice a year, in spring and fall. Across Maryland, the spring visit runs mid to late May, after the seed drop finishes, and the fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze. Our crew sees the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring, and the wet leaf mat in the fall.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof packs the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters from that cover can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road picks up grime faster than the rest.
If you have been putting off professional window cleaning, watch for haze you only see when the sun is low. Regular cleanings in spring and fall keep that haze from building up, and clean glass does more for curb appeal than most people expect. For gutters, water sheeting over the edge in a rain is the sign they need attention. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the slot.
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 cleans residential properties across Wheaton, and window and gutter washing services are scheduled by phone or text. Every residential window we can reach from the ground or the pole gets done, including condos, which we quote from the same photo. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those windows and you get the date you want. We clean every window on the outside of the house and the sill beneath it, so the job is finished and not partly done.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote it from the road.
On our jobs the outside carries the road dust, the rain grime and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on glass that looks clean from inside, so the outside is usually where the grime shows.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall. Across Maryland, the spring visit lands in mid to late May, after the seed drop, and the fall visit lands in November to early December, after the leaves come down, when the gutters carry the most material.
No, we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing the gutters throws grit and water down the wall, so the glass has to come after.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and the crew uses water to remove dirt from them.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
