Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing blows back onto clean glass. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Balch Springs jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number 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.
You get one number for gutters and exterior glass in the same visit, based on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Booking both together costs less than scheduling two separate trips, and the number we quote over the phone is the number we charge. Your quote comes from those inputs, not from a guess at the house.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk adds ladder and lift time. A large residential window count, or oversized picture windows that need a longer reach, adds time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul away. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing we flag up front, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew works from the number of stories and the window count you give us. A photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us confirm both before a date is set. If you are unsure of the count, walk the outside once and count the panes on each side; a rough count is enough for the estimate, and the crew confirms it on the day before any work starts.
On a typical two-story house with a long run of picture windows and gutters under a mature cover, the quote is set by the window count on the back wall and the lift time for the front runs, which is why the crew measures both before giving a number. Every customer gets the same approach: stories, count, a photo, then a figure you can hold us to. Our window washing services cover exterior glass only, with interior and exterior work kept separate, and that is the scope on this visit. Regular cleanings keep the bill lower over time because each visit starts with less grime, so there is less work to remove dirt from the glass and the runs.

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 Balch Springs customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Texas, the spring visit lands in late March to April, and on our Balch Springs calendar the fall visit falls in late November to December.
Pollen film on the south-facing glass rinses off with water alone, but the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows sometimes needs cleaning solutions to break it down. Fall brings the leaf load and, on some houses, the first wet leaf mat sitting in the gutters before the cold sets in. Storm and wind seasons, the Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms that reach Texas, can move the dates, so we confirm the calendar with you before each visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between visits. Gutters that overflow for a season send water down the siding, and that is how water damage starts at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment rather than another wash. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster, and that shows up as haze on the windows and as sediment in the runs.
The customers who need a third visit are the ones under heavy cover or with sprinkler spotting. Multi-story buildings usually need the upper runs checked first, and the crew does those before the lower glass. Our customers with few trees are fine on one fall visit a year. After the first visit we tell you which pattern your house follows, and you can decide from there.
You will see windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will see gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 works across Balch Springs, and the residential properties we clean span the older blocks and the newer subdivisions alike. The crew takes residential and commercial exterior work, and the pricing on this page covers houses. Our calendar is set in two busy windows, spring and fall, which is when most customers book and when the schedule fills first. Booking early in those windows keeps a slot open for you.
To get a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We confirm the window count, give you one price for both jobs, and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, but the call lets you move a car or unlock a side gate. We use a professional window cleaning process on every job, and every window gets the same care.
Our window cleaners work from purified water and a water-fed pole, which lets us reach upper floors without a ladder against the siding. Our cleaning services reach multi-story buildings the same way, from the ground, with nothing leaned on the siding. Curb appeal improves the most when the glass and the gutters are done together, so the bundle is the way most of our customers book. Lead time depends on the season, and we give you the first open date when you call. If you need to schedule service around a sale or a move, tell us when you call.
Yes. The same crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and these window cleaning services are quoted as one number. We do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote one price for both jobs. Condos with shared gutter runs get a quote after a photo of the building, because shared runs change the count.
On Balch Springs houses the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. For a residential window, cleaning the outside alone takes care of what actually builds up on the glass here.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Across Texas the spring visit lands in late March to April, and the fall visit here falls in late November to December.
No, because the crew does gutters first and glass last. Runoff from a run still full of debris would hit the glass below, so clearing it first means the debris and black water are gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included in the visit, and they are not billed as an add-on.
Exterior only on this visit. Our crew does not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing here.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
