Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on 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 two separate trips. Across Texas, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, and we keep the same order of work on every house.
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.
Our window washing and gutter work is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge at the end of the visit. Booking both jobs with one crew costs less than two separate trips, because the crew sets up once and works the house in a single pass. The quote covers exterior work only, so interior and exterior glass are not priced into the number you get on the phone. Our window cleaning services are built around that single visit.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A large number of residential window panes, or oversized picture windows, takes more time per side of the house. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and gutters that have not been opened in years take longer still. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time as well. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. Our washing services for a house like yours can often be quoted from that alone. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate before we book a date. Regular cleanings keep the bill lower over time because less grime builds up on the gutters and the glass, and each visit makes it easier to remove dirt.

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 Heartland customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Texas, spring visits usually run late March to April, when pollen settles as a yellow film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. Fall visits in Heartland usually run late November to December, which catches the last of the leaf load. Clogged gutters full of wet leaves hold runoff against the fascia through the winter, and with freeze risk in Heartland, that water can turn to ice.
The spring and fall visits also move with the storm season. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can drop debris into the gutters and leave water damage on sills and frames on short notice. Some houses need a third visit. That usually means heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction where dust builds up quickly. Multi-story buildings and houses with a lot of glass often need that third visit too, because the upper panes and gutters are harder to reach in one pass. Under those conditions we plan the year around three visits instead of two.
Windows tell you when they need it: haze shows up when the sun is low, even after a rinse. Haze on the windows inside the house usually comes from indoor film, not rain, so an exterior visit will not clear it. Gutters and downspouts tell you too: if water sheets over the edge during rain, the run is full or sloped wrong, and it is time for a visit. Our crew checks both on each job and says what it sees before it leaves. The timing is the same for residential properties and commercial buildings alike, since pollen and leaves do not check the property type. Glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak.
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 cleaning services start with one call, because we book as calls come in and our crew has cleaned houses across Heartland. Give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front by phone or text, and we confirm a time. Call (866) 435-6328 for the first open date. The lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves peak, our calendar fills faster. To schedule service in those months, book early if you want a fixed date.
Some window cleaners quote the glass alone, so when you compare, ask whether the gutters are done on the same visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before they arrive. We do not promise same-day service unless we can actually fit it in, so we tell you the first open date when you call. Clear glass and clean gutters add to curb appeal, and the difference shows from the street. Professional window cleaning and gutter work from one crew keeps the schedule simple and gives you one point of contact for the whole house, from the roofline down to the sill on every window.
Yes, the same crew does both. We clean gutters and the exterior of each residential window in one visit, with gutters done first and glass last.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give the quote by phone or text before we book a date. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Often yes, because the outside of residential properties carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Exterior washing also helps you remove dirt before it sets, and clean glass on the outside lets you see the view from inside.
Our Heartland customers usually book in spring and fall. Spring cleans off the pollen film, and fall clears the leaf load before winter.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts before we touch the glass, so the dirty runoff from the roof runs off without reaching the clean panes. If a window does get spotted, send us a photo and we will look at it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the visit as well, so you do not see them as extra line items.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing of siding or decks. If you own condos that share a roofline or a gutter run, we need a quick check before we book, so tell us when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn your 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
