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 in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew works most of our Clute customers' houses in the spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest, so the calendar fills around those two windows. Tell us the stories and the window count, and we give you the number we will 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and our washing services are quoted per house rather than per pane, so the gutters and the glass come on one quote. Booking both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the exact saving is shown on your quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
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 and more time on the ladder. A high window count, or oversized picture windows that need a longer reach, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. The quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior glass are different scopes, and the number on this page does not include the inside of the house.
On our Clute jobs, the quotes that come in highest are the houses that were skipped for a few years. Those usually need a second pass on the gutters before anyone can see the roofline. Regular cleanings on a set schedule keep each visit shorter, since there is less packed into the gutters to clear. Our window cleaning services for a house we have not seen are priced from a photo and a stories count. Ask for a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the stories and a rough window count, and we will come back with a number before the crew is scheduled. Most people find the number is close to what they expected, once they know what a visit includes. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we will book a date once you have it.

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.
Across Texas, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and in Clute that is also the rhythm the work follows. Across Texas, spring visits usually fall from late March to April, and fall visits from late November to December. Spring brings the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste that packs into the gutter elbows. Fall brings the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs through the wet months. Clute gets about 51.6 inches of rain a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months, which are the months a clogged run is most likely to lead to water damage. Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms across Texas can shift the dates, so we book from what the house has been through rather than from the calendar alone. The seasonal timing above is the same for residential and commercial glass, since the leaves and the rain arrive on both. Multi-story buildings with glass above the second floor take the most time, so they are the first thing we look at when we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between cleanings, and clogged gutters are the usual reason water runs over the edge in a storm. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and cleaning solutions do not lift those etched spots. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. Windows inside the house are a separate job and are not part of these visits. In our experience, these are the cases where a twice-a-year schedule stops being enough.
You will know the glass needs a visit when the outside looks hazy, most often when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Check the gutters and downspouts after a hard rain, since that is usually when the first sign shows. On the houses where we have been asked, the second sign usually comes first, and it is the one that costs the most to ignore, since the water starts working behind 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 have cleaned gutters and windows across most of Clute, and the booking process is the same from one street to the next. You call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with an estimate. Once you accept, the crew is scheduled for the next open window, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, so you can plan the visit around your own day. Our cleaning services run on one booking path for every house.
Spring and fall are the two busy windows of the year. During those months our calendar fills faster than at any other time, so the sooner you book, the closer we can get to the date you want. Outside those windows, there is usually more room on the schedule. Lead time is shown when you book.
Professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning are two jobs that suit one crew, and that is why we run them together. If you want the curb appeal of clean glass with the runs clear above it, one visit does both. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will take it from there. We clean every window on the house that can be reached from outside, and the sill gets wiped with the rest.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first, then the glass, so the water running out of the runs never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Residential window work is priced the same way on every house, by stories and window count. Send a photo of the front of the house and a rough window count, and we will quote the exact figure before the crew is scheduled.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit. Film from rain dust and sprinkler spots builds up on the glass from outside, and the inside never sees it. The same holds on condos and other residential properties, where the outside glass takes the weather whether or not the inside is ever cleaned. Cleaning the inside alone leaves the haze you actually see.
Most of our Clute customers book in spring and again in fall. Those are the months the leaves are heaviest, and they are the two windows when our calendar fills, so booking early helps.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the leaves, grit and black water stay out of the way of the panes, so nothing has to be washed twice. Runoff from the runs is the whole reason the order matters.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the same pass. None of these is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service. Our job here is to remove dirt from the outside glass, frames and screens, and nothing else.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
