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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Texas, most of our customers book both in spring and fall, and that is the calendar we work to here in Harlingen.
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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than two separate jobs. All of our washing services are priced the same way: the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services start from the stories and window count you give us, plus a photo of the front of the house sent by text, so the quote matches the house.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before the run can be cleared. Oversized picture windows and high upper panes take more time and more equipment, and condos with glass like that show up in the count. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter, since no cleaning removes it, and we say so before we start. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a house with heavy grime on the glass and runoff stains under the gutter line, the crew spends the extra time where it counts, and that is where the crew has to remove dirt that has dried on the frames. Before we come, the simplest thing you can do is send the stories, the window count, and one photo so we can see what we are dealing with. The number we quote then holds on the day, and the invoice matches 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 residential and commercial customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. We run both on the same dates because the glass and the gutters collect the same things at the same time.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main things we find, and they build quickly after the seed drop. In fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the downspout elbows. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, and a hard blow from the Gulf can strip a run of leaves in a single night.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction takes more dust on the frames and sills. Regular cleanings keep the build-up from setting, and our crew sets a schedule once it sees the house, a plan you can change as the seasons go. Interior and exterior glass get different attention: the crew cleans the outside on this visit and does not touch the inside.
You will know the windows need attention when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running through the downspouts. When a film needs more than water, the crew reaches for cleaning solutions and rinses them off.
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.
Booking starts with a phone call or a text with your stories, your approximate window count and a photo of the house front. We use that to give you a firm number and a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our crew handles the window cleaning services at the outside of the house, and windows inside are not part of the visit, so the crew does not come inside. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo, and we will book a date with you.
Our crew works with window cleaners who have the same equipment and the same standard of glass, and we keep the same routine on every job. A good professional window cleaning visit starts from the top of the building so that anything falling from above is cleaned up before the lower glass is done.
The busy windows of the year are the same two periods when leaves and dust build up, and our calendar fills around them. Booking early in those stretches gives you the better slot, so call to schedule service before it fills. Multi-story buildings and houses with clogged gutters that have sat through a season are the jobs that take the longest on the day, so tell us about those when you call. Left alone, clogged gutters let water run behind the fascia and cause water damage that costs far more than a cleaning. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street, and that shows most in the busy weeks.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run onto windows we have already done.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job from those.
On our Harlingen jobs the outside carries most of the dirt, from grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean windows on the outside also keep the inside from picking up that film, so the two rarely need to be done apart.
Across Texas, residential properties are most often booked in spring, late March to April, and again in fall, late November to December, and that is the calendar we keep in Harlingen. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front.
No, the crew clears the gutters and flushes every downspout before any glass is touched. That order is the reason we do both jobs together.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the same visit. None of those is billed as a separate line.
Each residential window gets exterior glass only on this visit, and we clean every window the crew can reach from outside. We do not clean interior windows or do pressure washing here, though we can tell you what we see on the house.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
