The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work for homeowners in Channelview across the spring and fall, the two times of year most people book it.
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 give you the price from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. We do not post a single flat price, because the figure you get depends on your house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift on the front, which takes setup time. More windows or oversized panes mean more glass to handle, and a heavy spring pollen film means a longer rinse. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Cleaning solutions, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On a job we did for a two-story house in Channelview, the quote moved with the window count and the tree cover over the back run, and the crew priced the bundle from both. If you send us a photo of the front of your house by text, along with your story count, we can give you the number before we book anything. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the same number in writing before the crew is on the schedule.
Cleanings like this are a fixed scope, so the price does not change once the crew is on the ladder. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same method, and multi-story buildings and picture windows get the lift chosen to match the height. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and we only do the exterior on this visit.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Channelview customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Texas the pattern is the same: the spring pollen film settles on south-facing glass and seed packs the gutters, and in fall the leaf load and storm winds move the dates. Regular cleanings twice a year keep that buildup from setting. Storm and wind seasons can shift a visit by a few weeks.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In the spring, the film sits on the glass and seed fills the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall, it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the gutters, and the water that stands behind it. Heavy tree cover over the roof means a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up extra grime that needs a closer look.
The cleaning services we run follow the same order each time, which is why the same crew handles both jobs. Our window cleaners work from the exterior, and the professional window cleaning method keeps the glass clean without leaving streaks. Keeping up with the gutters and downspouts also protects the house from water damage, because clogged gutters let water run back under the eaves.
You will know when the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and that haze takes a bite out of your curb appeal. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs across the neighborhoods of Channelview, and the same crew covers every area we visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count before we set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the spring and fall windows fill first, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside. Residential properties and commercial buildings both get the same careful handling of clean windows. Residential and commercial jobs use the same method, and every residential window and sill gets checked before we leave.
When the calendar fills in the busy windows of spring and fall, we keep the schedule open for the customers who asked first. Condos get the same scope as a house, exterior glass and gutters, booked the same way. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the photo and the story count, and we will give you a date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That keeps the dirty runoff from ending up on glass we have already cleaned.
Our window cleaning services and gutter washing services are priced from your stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before we book anything.
Usually the outside carries the most of the grime here: spring film from the trees, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. The crew has to remove dirt from the frames before the glass is rinsed. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still needs its own cleaning.
Our customers here most often book in late spring and again in late fall, after the seed and leaf drop. Book early, because those windows fill first.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared and flushed, the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows, so the runoff does not reach the clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of it is billed as an extra line.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need the inside done, tell us when you call and we will point you to who does it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
