Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. On our Hopkins jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up the most. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you your number.
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 professional window 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. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. Oversized panes and a high window count add time to the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, so we flag it on the visit. Most of our window washing work here is on homes where the outside glass has been left a long time, and that is usually what hurts curb appeal from the street.
One Hopkins job shows how this works. A two-story house with a large run of clogged gutters and a set of picture windows on the back side was quoted by stories and window count, and the crew found the gutters packed with grit and water damage at one corner, which we photographed before the work started. The customer got the same number on the phone that showed up on the invoice. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it is.

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 Hopkins customers schedule both jobs as two cleanings a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs, the spring visit clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste out of the gutter elbows. The fall visit clears the leaf load before it packs and freezes. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and we will tell you when to book.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often where heavy tree cover hangs over the roof, where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, and where a house sits near a busy road or construction. Those are the homes that need every window and sill checked more often than twice a year. Residential properties on regular cleanings show less grime on the sills between visits, and we set the schedule service around what your lot needs.
You can tell the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain.
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.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, so the sooner you ask for a slot in those months, the better your chances.
Our crew handles washing services for residential and commercial properties, including window cleaning services for residential window and glass work. We also clean the gutters and downspouts that send runoff away from the foundation, and we remove dirt and grime from the frames and sills. We also service a few condos where the exterior glass and gutters are on the same schedule.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. We do not quote it from a fixed figure.
On our jobs here, the outside carries film, dust and sprinkler spots, and those show on the glass whatever the inside looks like. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the windows look from the street.
Most of our Hopkins customers book in the spring, after the spring growth settles, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Both are busy months on our calendar.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends the grit and black water down the wall, so the glass has to wait until that is done.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse screens and wipe the sills on every window we clean. Cleaning solutions come out only for spots that water alone will not lift, and the crew tells you before using one.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of it, so this quote does not cover interior and exterior glass together. We do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
No, 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.
