The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied twice. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Buda jobs, most customers book the pair in the spring and fall, the two windows of the year when pollen and leaves build up fastest. We give the number on the phone, and that is the number we charge.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and the bundle is quoted once for both jobs in one visit. Our window cleaning services are priced in that same quote, so you see one number before we arrive. The number we give on the phone for window washing is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Customers often ask about the interior and exterior glass together, and this visit covers the exterior only, which the quote says.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees from the ladder: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A house with washing services requested on one side and the ground-level glass on the other takes longer, and the quote reflects that before we arrive.
Here is a Buda job that shows how the quote gets built. One customer had a two-story house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass and a row of picture windows across the back. What we found in the gutters and on the glass, in the customer's own words as we recorded them, is what set the time on that visit, and the case is linked from our Buda cases. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. Regular cleanings keep the number lower over time, because a gutter cleared twice a year holds less grime than one left for three.

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 Buda customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In the spring the pollen film dries onto south-facing glass and seed paste packs the gutters, so the first visit is the one that shows the most. In the fall the leaf load comes down and clogged gutters hold the wet mat until the first hard rain. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move those dates, so we book from what the house shows rather than a fixed calendar. The same method works on a two-story home and on multi-story buildings, though taller jobs take more setup time.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site all put more grit on the glass and more debris in the runs, and we see those houses back in the middle of the season. Sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are a mineral problem, and cleaning solutions do not remove them, so the visit says a mineral treatment is quoted separately. Our visit covers the outside only, so windows inside the house stay as they are. This page is written for homes, and a residential and commercial job is quoted on its own. The window and gutter schedule is set once for the year and changes only when the house does.
You can tell when the windows need the work: a haze that only shows when the sun is low, or spots after the sprinklers run. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Both signs are worth a text with a photo, because water sheeting over the edge is the early step toward water damage on 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 provide cleaning services for exterior glass and gutters on the houses in Buda and cover the city as a whole, booking by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote and a date. Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and the two busy windows of the year fill first, so ask early in the spring and in the fall.
Our crew handles the window cleaners' full scope of exterior work on one visit, with every window reached from the pole or the ladder and every sill wiped, so the house is done once. That kind of professional window cleaning saves a second trip and keeps the curb appeal of the house even across the seasons. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean windows.
We do not quote from a fixed number. The price comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before we come.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those do not come off with indoor cleaning. Our crew works only the outside glass on this visit.
Our Buda customers book in the spring and in the fall. Timing is one of the frequently asked questions we hear most, and for residential properties the first visit tends to show the most leaf debris and seed paste, so spring and fall are the windows we plan around.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so runoff never runs onto the panes afterward.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request and noted in the quote.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
Condos are cleaned the same way as a house, exterior only. You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
