Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Hereford jobs, most of our customers book this for the spring and fall, and that is the calendar we work to.
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.
Professional window cleaning and gutter work are priced together by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the rough window count first. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons we can see from the ground. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk takes more time and gear. A high window count, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to every pass. Gutters that have not been opened in years often arrive with seeds and leaves packed to the elbow, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning solutions alone will not remove, and we say so before we start. Clogged gutters that have been overflowing for a season can also show early water damage on the fascia, which we photograph and report rather than bill as extra work.
Houses that need the most window washing and gutter work here are usually the ones with the most trees and the most grime, and the curb appeal shows it first from the street. Ask for a written estimate and text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible. We will tell you what the day will involve before anyone climbs a ladder.

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.
Regular cleanings suit most of our Hereford customers, who book both jobs twice a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Pollen film builds on south-facing glass and pollen paste packs into the gutters during the spring pollen season, and leaves load the runs in the fall. Storm and wind seasons on the Gulf can shift those dates, so we look at the house rather than only the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. We see the heaviest cases under large trees over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and on houses where a sprinkler line hits the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house close to a busy road or active construction also gathers more dust on the glass and runoff in the gutters. On a cleaning services schedule, a residential window and the outside of every window should be checked at the same time, and a sill left out of the pass is the usual reason a window looks clean but still looks dull.
You can usually tell windows need attention when you see haze only in low sun, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Ask us to schedule service on that basis and we will tell you what we find on the first visit.
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.
We clean residential and commercial properties, and the exterior of the buildings our crew services around Hereford, and we book a slot the same way for each one. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and we will give you a quote and a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early call keeps you from waiting.
Our crew handles the washing services you would expect on a house, including exterior window cleaning services, the gutters and downspouts, and the outside glass where grime and runoff collect. The job is to remove dirt from the surfaces that carry it. We work on the outside of the house, and we do not mix interior and exterior glass into one pass. Condos and multi-story buildings get the same process, scheduled around the residents.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, with the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff does not land on clean windows. You get one date and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what dulls a window here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still changes how the house looks from the street.
Most of our Hereford customers book in the spring and in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you where your house sits on that calendar.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior pass.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass and gutters only, and the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on it.
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, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text your questions to (866) 435-6328 before the day.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
