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 that comes off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and having both jobs done together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Groves jobs, most customers book it in spring and fall, when leaves are heaviest.
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 the number on the phone, and that number is the number we charge. We quote from the number of stories and the approximate count of windows, and for most houses the bundle in a single visit comes in below booking the gutters and the glass as two separate jobs. Regular cleanings on the same house are quoted the same way. Tell us the stories and a rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the figure before anything is booked. The same method applies to a residential and commercial job.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, the big single panes that need a boom or scissor lift. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone. The base price covers water and purified water, and cleaning solutions for stubborn spots are quoted separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and pollen film on the glass is part of the window cleaning too.
One Groves job shows how this works. A two-story house with a lot of glass on the back side and a guard over the rear run was quoted from the stories and the window count, and the rear gutter took the most time because the guard had to come off and go back on. The number we quoted over the phone held on the invoice. A house with the same stories and fewer windows came in lower, which is the point of quoting from those numbers.
To get your exact number, count the stories and the windows you want done, and text us a photo of the front of the house. Our window cleaners and gutter crew will give you one figure, and the whole job is on that invoice. Quotes cover the outside only, because interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs.
| 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 Groves customers book regular cleanings twice a year, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Texas, spring visits usually run late March to April, when pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the phone fills with calls for professional window cleaning. Fall visits run December to early January, when the leaf load comes down and the gutters fill with wet mat. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move those dates, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pile into the gutters between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual reason water sheets over the edge. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects a film that is heavier than a quiet street. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit, based on what we see at the first cleaning.
Groves gets about 59.8 inches of rain a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so gutters that sit clogged all summer lead to water damage at the fascia and soft trim. Multi-story buildings need more ladder work, so the crew sets them up by the number of stories rather than by the hour.
We see two common patterns. One customer on a lot with no trees books twice a year and that is enough. Another on a lot with heavy shade and sprinkler spotting books three or four times a year to keep the windows clean and the gutters running. Both are on the same schedule of work; the difference is what the house collects. Cases from Groves are shown with their links where they are supplied.
You will know windows need cleaning when a haze shows up that you only see when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running down the downspouts. Either sign means it is time to call. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so a haze on the inside glass is a different job. Clean glass and clear gutters both help curb appeal, which is why many owners keep cleaning services on the calendar instead of waiting for a problem.
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 cleans residential window and gutter jobs across Groves, and we take on residential properties of most sizes, from a single story to a three-story house with a lot of glass. We do window and gutter cleaning as one visit. The way to start is a quick estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo, and we will set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the next open slot when you call. During the spring season and the fall leaf season our calendar fills, so booking early in those windows helps.
Every window on the exterior gets done as part of the visit, including the upper floors reached from the pole, and each sill is wiped. We clean windows with water and purified water so the glass dries clear, and we rinse the gutters and check the downspouts as part of the same visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew sends photos of the finished run before they leave.
If your home has a schedule you need us to fit around, tell us when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind. We are happy to schedule service for the bundle or for gutters alone, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes. Our washing services cover both jobs in one visit, with the same two people on the ladder. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass, so the work runs in the right order.
We do not give a figure on a website, because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before anything is booked.
Usually the outside takes the most. Grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass in Groves, and cleaning the inside does nothing about them. The outside is where the haze you notice actually sits.
Most of our customers here book window cleaning services in spring and in fall, the same two windows of the year. If you want a date in one of those windows, book early, because our calendar fills then.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush the downspouts, and wait a few minutes for the wall to stop dripping before we touch the glass. Runoff from the roof is what carries the dirt, so that order is the reason we do both in one visit.
Sills are wiped to remove dirt as part of the visit, and screens are rinsed and set back in the window they came out of. Tracks are part of the exterior work on the visit. None of these are billed as extras.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean the inside of the windows, and we do not do pressure washing.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. If you own a condo, the same visit covers the exterior glass on your unit, and the gutter run above it is quoted with the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
