Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Texas, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, the two windows when pollen and leaves build up the most.
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. Booking the window and gutter work together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means boom or scissor lift time. Oversized picture windows take more handling. Gutters not cleaned in years come down packed with leaves and seeds, which adds time. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit and quote a mineral treatment separately if you want one. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, and the cleaning solutions a dirty frame needs are not billed as extras. An interior and exterior quote is a separate estimate, because this page covers the outside only.
On a recent Friendswood house, the quote came from the stories, the window count and the fact that the gutters had not been opened in years. We cleared the leaves, flushed every downspout, rinsed the screens and wiped the sills, and the number on the invoice matched the quote. Outside Friendswood we ask for the same three details, the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, and the estimate follows from there.
| 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.
Across Texas, most of our customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, because one crew in one visit covers both on the same calendar. Pollen drops onto south-facing glass and packs into the gutters in spring, and leaves and wet debris load the runs in fall. Regular cleanings in those two seasons keep cleaning services from stacking up into a bigger job later, and plenty of homeowners ask whether window cleaners can handle the gutters too.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In spring a fine film sits on the glass and the gutters hold a paste of seeds and grit. In fall the leaf load is the heaviest and the wet mat is what pulls on the hangers. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, and we usually plan around them rather than around the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house close to a busy road, active construction or multi-story buildings also collects grime faster than a quiet street, and clean glass does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Those are the houses where our customers ask for three or four visits a year, not two.
Two signs tell you the windows need cleaning sooner. The first is a haze you only see when the sun is low. The second is gutters that let runoff sheet over the edge in rain, which points to clogged gutters or a sagging run, and water damage starts at the fascia when that happens. Either way, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we see before we come out.
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 does window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, residential window glass included, and we are glad to schedule service in the neighborhoods of Friendswood where we already work. Booking our window cleaning services starts with a quick estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm a window count and a time, and we call before we arrive. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The same booking path takes residential and commercial requests for washing services, and condos are booked the same way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring visits, late March to April across Texas, and the leaf season in fall, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months keeps your slot, and booking a quiet month often gets the first available date. Lead time is shown on the booking page when it is set, and we do not promise a same-day visit unless the calendar says so.
Every window gets the same attention on the outside, from the top sill to the bottom track, and professional window cleaning means the crew works from the pole, the ladder or the lift depending on the height. The windows inside are quoted separately, since this visit covers the outside only. The pole is how the crew can remove dirt from upper panes. The clean windows we leave behind are what our customers come back for, so the visit ends with a walk-around of the glass and the gutter runs, and the photos go to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, and it is the same crew. The gutters and downspouts are done first and glass last, so that debris and runoff from the gutters 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 give you a written estimate.
Send the stories and approximate window count for a condo the same way as for a house, and we quote from those. On our jobs, the outside carries the dust, the rain residue and the sprinkler spots, so the glass dirties from the outside first and that is where the cleaning belongs.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, when spring dust and fall leaves are heaviest. Across Texas the spring visits run late March to April and the fall visits late November to December, and the earlier you book, the better your chance of the date you want.
No. The gutters go first and the glass last, so the runoff is gone before anyone touches a pane.
They are part of the job. We rinse screens, wipe sills and clean the tracks as part of the visit, and we do not bill them as add-ons.
We clean the exterior glass only. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and pressure washing is not part of it either.
You do not need to be home. Turn 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
