Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Hidalgo. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls out of the gutters 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. Most of our Hidalgo customers book it in the spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Quotes for residential and commercial properties both start from those two counts. Treat any starting figure as a guide only; the number for your house comes from your stories and your window count.
On our jobs in Hidalgo, these are the things that move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes in a picture windows wall, takes more time than a standard grid. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need a longer clearing before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, which adds time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our cleaning solutions are mild and rinsed off, and they are included in the price.
One of our Hidalgo jobs, a two-story house on a corner lot with heavy tree cover, shows how the quote moved. The gutters needed two full flushes before the water ran clear, and the front windows had a film of pollen that took a second pass. We quoted it from the stories, the window count and the photo of the front of the house, and that was the number we charged for clean windows and clear gutters. For your house, the fastest way to get the exact number is to send us a count of stories, an approximate count of windows and a photo of the front of the house by text.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Interior windows, pressure washing and gutter repair are not part of this service, so interior and exterior work are quoted separately. If we find a loose hanger or a seam dripping during the visit, the crew photographs it and puts it in the report.
| 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.
Across Texas, most of our customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Regular cleanings at those two points keep the work small. In Hidalgo, the same two visits hold: the spring visit clears the tree seed and paste in the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before it turns into clogged gutters. Many owners ask whether professional window cleaning needs to happen that often, and for most houses the two visits are enough. What we see at each visit tells us what the next one needs.
On our jobs, the yellow tree film sits on south-facing glass and a thick paste fills the gutters in the spring. In fall the leaves come down and pack the runs, and the first rains after that turn them into a mat. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts pack between visits, so those houses are on a three or four visit schedule instead of two. Multi-story buildings with the same tree cover follow that schedule too. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, so those get a third visit too. Clean glass also matters for curb appeal, since the front windows are the first thing a visitor sees from the street.
Windows need a cleaning when a haze shows on the outside of the glass only when the sun is low, so the windows inside the house look clean until then. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain. Those are the two signs we look for when we come back. If the sheeting continues after a clean, it is usually a slope problem rather than debris, and we say so instead of selling a second cleaning. Left alone, that overflow can lead to water damage at the fascia.
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 has handled residential window and gutter cleaning services across Hidalgo, and we serve residential properties of most sizes, from a single-story ranch to a multi-story house with a lot of glass. Booking with us is simple: you send a count of stories, an approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house by phone or text, and we come back with a number. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, the spring tree season and the fall leaf season, are when our calendar fills first, so if you know your month, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
To schedule service, text a photo or call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the day and the arrival window. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same attention, down to the sill, so the job is finished the same way whether you have ten windows or thirty.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the same two people handle the washing services for the gutters and the glass in one visit. We start with the gutters and finish with the windows, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean glass.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work are quoted from your stories and your window count, and we give the number to you by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before we come. We do not quote from a general figure, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on its gutters and its glass.
Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hit here. Tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside of the glass, and runoff from the roof carries grime down onto the lower panes. Cleaning the inside will not remove dirt from the outside, so cleaning the outside on its own is a complete job.
Across Texas, most of our customers book in late March to April, after the tree drop, and again in late November to December, after the leaves come down. If you can only do one visit, the spring visit covers the tree film and the fall visit covers the leaves.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass gets washed only after the gutters and downspouts are finished and the runoff from the wall has stopped.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped and tracks get cleaned as part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra. We take screens out, rinse them by hand and put them back in the same window.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing, so that work is not part of what we bring.
You do not need to be home, whether the property is a house or one of the condos. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew does not come inside.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
