The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Alamo jobs, most customers book this bundle for the spring and fall visits, so the calendar tends to fill in those windows.
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 window and gutter work in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass work. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more time per run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Alamo jobs, the quote usually moves most on the window count and on how much pollen paste sits in the gutters before the first run. For the exact number, call or text (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a photo of the front of the house. Our cleaning solutions are purified water, so the glass dries clean, and most customers with a picture windows front see the difference on the first visit. Regular cleanings stay on the same schedule as your gutters, so you pay one trip. Residential and commercial jobs are both quoted this way, with the same crew and the same photos at the end.

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 Alamo customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Texas, the spring and fall visits follow the same logic, since the pollen and leaf load arrive on the same schedule.
What we find at the spring visit is a dust film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutters. At the fall visit it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs. Storms and wind seasons move the dates by a few weeks, so we book around them rather than at a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the runs, and clogged gutters follow between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction picks up a film faster than most. Those are the cases where we suggest a third trip rather than let the runs back up.
Haze that shows only when the sun is low is the first sign of lost curb appeal, and that is when the windows are due. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain is the sign the gutters need the crew, and left alone that water is how water damage starts at the fascia.
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 clean exterior glass and gutters on residential properties, condos and commercial buildings. A residential window job is priced with its gutter run on the same ticket, and the booking works the same for each. Start with a phone call or text to (866) 435-6328 for a window and gutter cleaning quote, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you the estimate and a date window, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when leaves and grit build up at once. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the earlier you ask, the more date choices you have. Lead time on a regular slot is set by the calendar that season, and we tell you the exact figure on the call.
We schedule service around the weather, and a missed date is rebooked rather than charged. Every window on the job gets the same work, and the sill and frame get wiped with the pane, not left for a second pass. Commercial sites and multi-story buildings are booked on a set calendar with one point of contact.
Yes. Professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning are washing services done by the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Tell us the stories and send a photo of the front, and you get the number before we book.
On a house here, the outside takes most of the dirt: the dust, the rain film and the sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. Cleaning only the inside leaves the grime that builds up on the outside, so a visit on the outside is the way to remove dirt from it.
On our Alamo jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits. Across Texas the same pattern holds, so ask for a slot in those windows.
Not if the gutters are done first. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down over it, so we keep the order fixed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the windows visit and are not billed as an extra.
This visit covers windows outside only, and windows inside are not part of it. An interior and exterior glass job is quoted separately if you want both, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, 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.
