Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and every window on the outside of the house in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and most of the work we book here follows the same pattern every year.
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.
The price is set by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the quote you get on the phone is the number on your invoice. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit comes out cheaper than two separate jobs, and we tell you the exact saving when we quote it.
On our jobs, the quote moves with a few things we see on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized panes and a high window count add time to the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years are packed with grit and needles and need more clearing. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it before the work starts, and any cleaning solutions it needs are quoted with the job. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing on a house is mostly about how much glass is up and how high it sits. Our crew works from the ground where it can and from a boom or scissor lift where it cannot. Gutter cleaning follows the same logic: the run length, the pitch and the amount of debris decide the time. Where a job also includes washing services, we fold window cleaning services and gutter work into one quote so you are not paying twice for the same ladder setup.
Before we quote, we ask for the number of stories and a rough window count, and we ask for a photo of the front of the house sent by text. That photo lets us see the roofline and the glass before we ever come out. Our crew has worked on many homes with large picture windows, and the photo catches those early.
We keep the grime off the glass and keep gutters and downspouts clear so the water runs where it should. Runoff from a clogged gutter is what stains siding and pools at the foundation, so clearing the gutters is part of protecting the house, not a cosmetic extra. On a run with heavy buildup we will often remove dirt from the downspout outlets as well, because that is where the blockage usually sits. If a run shows water damage at the fascia or a soft spot in the soffit, the crew photographs it and reports it, and we do not sell repairs.
Our crew handles the same work on residential and commercial properties, and the quote process is the same for both. Commercial condos and small multi-unit buildings are quoted by building, not by unit, so the number reflects the whole roofline. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it before we book a date.

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 in Harvey book regular cleanings of both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. That is the usual window and gutter schedule for a house here, and one crew in one visit makes sense for the bundle.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we notice, and the pollen paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows is the second. In fall, the leaf load is what fills the runs, and a wet leaf mat is the reason gutters sag under the first freeze. Storms and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we keep a calendar and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit collect in the downspouts between cleanings, and those houses often stay on a three- or four-visit schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need closer attention, sometimes with extra cleaning solutions. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more fine dust on the glass, which means more frequent cleanings for the exterior glass. Interior and exterior glass pick up dirt on different schedules, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On our residential and commercial work, a building cleaned twice a year with no trees around it has held the schedule without much change from one visit to the next. Where a home sits under trees or has sprinkler spotting, we have seen the cleaning move to three or four visits a year. We decide that from what we see on the first visit, not from a general rule.
You can tell the windows need attention when you see a haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low, and picture windows show it first. You can tell the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of falling into the downspout. Either sign means it is time to book a visit, and a quick text with a photo is enough for us to tell you which one you are looking at.
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.
We have cleaning services running across the Harvey area, and our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year when the pollen and leaves come down. Outside those windows slots open more easily. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a number from that, and we set a date that fits the crew's route.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. If you want windows inside the house cleaned too, say so when you call and we will quote that separately. Lead time depends on the season and the route, so we confirm the first available date when you book rather than promising a specific day.
Homeowners and property managers both use our window cleaners here to get clean windows, and the work is done with the same care either way. Professional window cleaning means the glass is washed with purified water so it dries without spotting, and the frames and sills are wiped down with it. Curb appeal is one reason people book, but the bigger reason we hear is that a clogged gutter in a storm can cause water damage inside a wall, and that is harder to fix than the cleaning.
If you have windows that are hard to reach, or a building with several floors, let us know when you call. Multi-story buildings take more setup, and the crew plans for that before the day of the visit. Clogged gutters need to be cleared before the first heavy rain, and we can often schedule that ahead of the next storm.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is done by the same two people in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the exact figure.
Yes. Interior and exterior glass pick up dirt from different sources, and on residential properties the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up on each residential window between your inside cleanings.
Most of our Harvey customers book in the late spring and the late fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest on the house. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date that fits the route. Clean windows and clear gutters are both in demand in those months, so booking early helps.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass, so nothing from the roof washes down onto the panes we have already done.
Every window on the outside of the house is done as part of the job. Screens are rinsed, the sill is wiped, and tracks are included on the exterior side, and we will tell you when we quote if anything on your house is different.
We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job. Ask for a written estimate if you want the inside done as well.
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.
