The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Galveston jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit are heaviest. Give us a call or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the number before we come out.
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 bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We count every window on the house, not just the ones you can see from the street, and our window washing services are quoted from that count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and large picture windows take longer to set up for. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the water can run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Galveston house we usually see the same pattern: heavy grime on the south-facing glass, gutters carrying leaf and grit that runoff pushes against the fascia, and a little window washing that has to be done along the sills before the crew can remove dirt that runoff leaves there. Residential properties and condos get the same quote: send the stories and the window count, and we will tell you the number. Before we quote, send us a photo of the front of the house and tell us roughly how many stories it has. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.

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 set up regular cleanings for both jobs, once in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Here we see the same rhythm: the pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste in the gutters in the spring, then the leaf load that builds up in the fall, with storm and wind seasons moving the dates from year to year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding needles and grit into the gutters between visits. A residential window that a sprinkler line hits leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust on the window frames and the sills. If you have any of these, plan on a third visit, and we will say so after the first look.
You will know windows need it when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low. Both the interior and exterior glass pick up dirt at different rates, and this visit covers only the exterior. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Our crew does not give do-it-yourself instructions for either job, because the gutter is where the risk is. Ask us for a date and we will tell you what we would clean and when.
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 works across Galveston and sets up the same way on every house, with the bundle done from the same ladder positions on each side. To schedule service, start with a phone call or a text with your number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count before we set a day. Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call, not a guess. Two windows of the year fill up fastest: the spring season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar gets crowded with window cleaning services requests. If a job is residential and commercial at once, tell us when you call, and we will quote it from the count.
When the schedule is tight, the crew works through professional window cleaning in order by date booked, and we call before we come. Every window on the quote gets the same full pass. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We do not claim a same-day slot unless we have one open that day, and we say so on the phone. Our window cleaners carry water-fed poles for the upper panes, and no cleaning solutions go on the glass, so no one has to lean a ladder on the siding to reach them.
If you have concerns about curb appeal, a house that was cleaned once and then left to collect grime is harder to bring back than one cleaned on a schedule. Clogged gutters that back water up against the wall are the main way problems start, and they are also the ones most worth catching early. Water damage from a backed-up gutter tends to show first on the trim, not the roof. Multi-story buildings and tall houses need more setup, which is part of why we quote by stories. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
Yes, our crew does both, in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows. It is the same two people on the same house.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text, the same way for every residential property. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it from that. Ask for a written estimate before the crew comes out.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those sit on the glass whether the inside is clean or not. Clean windows from the outside are what you see from the street, and every window on the house is covered in the same quote.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall, after the spring rush and after the leaves come down. If you have heavy tree cover, you may want a third visit. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the first date.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the glass is done after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. Tell us if you want something else done before the visit.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. The windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Ask us about other work when you call.
You do not need to be home, since the crew works outside and does not come in. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, 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.
