Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Arlington jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaf load build up. Every window gets counted, and if you schedule service we give you the same figure on the invoice.
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 quote gutter and 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. Our washing services cover the gutters and the glass, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. A high window count, or oversized panes on any residential window, adds time to the window washing. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and we will tell you before we start if that is the case. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Arlington jobs, condos get the same count-based quote as houses, and one customer near a busy road with a mix of single-story and two-story wings had us do the whole house in one visit. The gutters ran heavy with grit and the front glass had a film of road dust, so the two jobs together made more sense than two trips. You can read that job here. For an exact number on our window cleaning services, tell us your stories and window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm it before the truck rolls. Gutters and downspouts get the same care on every run, and the runoff from a clogged run is what damages the paint and the trim, so we flush every outlet. We will remove dirt and grime from the glass with purified water, and nothing gets billed afterward that was not quoted.

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 Arlington customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the windows in one visit makes sense.
In the spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a packed grit line in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat in the gutters and tracks onto the sills. Our spring visits run late March to April across Texas, and our fall visits run late November to December. Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms across Texas can move those dates, and we adjust the calendar when they do.
Arlington gets about 40.1 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, so the runs fill fastest then. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction also picks up more residue between cleanings, and those are the houses we see on the regular cleanings schedule. One customer with no trees and a shaded back lot books once a year in the fall; another, under heavy trees with sprinkler spotting, is on three or four visits. Our crew covers both kinds of cleanings the same way.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. Either sign is reason to call us and 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 offers cleaning services across Arlington, and we serve the city as a whole. We clean residential properties and take residential and commercial jobs on the same booking line, and unlike some window cleaners, we do the gutters in the same visit. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with your number of stories. We give the estimate on the same call or text, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills faster then. If you can, book before the leaves start, so you get a slot that fits your schedule. Our lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we tell you the open dates when you call.
Our crew uses professional window cleaning methods with water-fed poles and purified water, and we reach for cleaning solutions only on glass that purified water cannot lift. The same approach works for multi-story buildings and for homes with many panes. We are also glad to clean the outside of picture windows, sills and tracks as part of the visit. Clean glass and gutters also do a lot for curb appeal from the street. We do not clean inside glass on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are booked separately. Clogged gutters are the most common reason for water damage at the eaves, so we clear and flush every run, and we will note any slope or hanger problem in the photo report.
Our crew does both, in one visit, with the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean windows.
For residential properties, the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house.
On Arlington houses the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks cloudy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside alone makes a visible difference.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, once the weather turns, and in the fall, after the leaves drop. Those are the two windows when our calendar is fullest.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the grit and water from the runs never reach a freshly cleaned pane. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the order of work for your house.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window cleaning visit, and we rinse screens and wipe the sill on every window as we go.
This visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit, and we will say so before the estimate.
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. Ask for a written estimate and schedule service on the same call at (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
