Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. On our Forney jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when the spring film and the leaves build up fastest.
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. Doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking two separate window cleaning services, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a window count with oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We do not clean interior and exterior glass on this visit; interior and exterior work is a separate job and is not part of this quote. A lot of homes build up grime between cleanings, so regular cleanings keep the bill lower over time than letting it go for a year. Quotes for window washing on the outside of the house and the washing services for the gutters come from the same stories and window count.
On a recent Forney job, the quote came from three things: the house was two stories with a steep front roof, the back run had gutters nobody had opened in years, and the glass had 22 windows including two large picture windows on the south side. The crew flushed every downspout, rinsed the screens and wiped the sills before anyone left. Get the exact number by texting a photo of the front of your house, or call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have.

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 Forney customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Each visit we find something different. Residential and commercial glass collects the same grit, so the timing below holds for a house in Forney. In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load builds up and the wet mat sits in the runs until it breaks down. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move the dates, and we adjust for that.
Some houses need a third visit, and so do multi-story buildings with a lot of glass. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming down all year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film that builds faster than normal. The window and gutter cleaning schedule for these houses goes to three or four visits. Cleaning solutions alone will not remove mineral spotting, so we tell you when that is the cause.
You can see when windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You can see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain. Clogged gutters also cause water damage at the fascia and foundation if they are left for a year. Ask us at the first visit which schedule your house needs.
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 exterior windows across Forney, and the crew works the same way on every street. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Our window cleaners and gutter crew work on the same schedule, so you get one professional window cleaning visit with the gutters done first. Call us to schedule service, and we will tell you the lead time when you call.
The two busiest stretches of the year are the late fall leaf drop and the spring visit window. Across Texas, that spring window runs late March to April. Those are the weeks when our calendar fills, so book early if you want a slot in those months. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Every residential window on the outside of the house gets done, including the upper-story glass from the pole, and each sill is wiped on the way. The crew clears the gutters and downspouts before the glass, and purified water keeps the glass from streaking. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and every window gets the same attention whether it sits by the entry or on the back wall. Ask about cleaning services for the whole outside of your house when you call.
Yes. The same two-person crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will give you a written estimate before the crew comes.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit on most residential properties. The spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting build on the outside of the glass in Forney, and the inside can look fine while the outside is hazy. Cleaning the outside is what removes dirt and gives you clear views.
Most of our Forney customers book in the spring, once the film on the glass builds up, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Those are the busiest weeks for us, so book early.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, and they would spoil any window washed before that step.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work on the outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and the windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either.
No, 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 the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of the condos, call first so we can check who owns the gutter line.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
