The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Texas, most of the houses we work are booked for the spring and fall cleaning.
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 our window washing services by the number of stories and the residential 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.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take longer again. A large window count and oversized picture windows add glass to wash. Clogged gutters, the ones that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Heavy grime on the glass takes a second pass. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, so the number you get covers the outside.
On our Hornsby Bend jobs, the quote comes from a short call or text: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and roughly how many windows. Gutter cleaning services that price by length usually land in the same range once the window washing and the glass are added. Our cleanings are sized to what the house needs, so a regular cleanings schedule can be set once we have seen the first run. For residential properties that are still dirty from last year, the first visit sets the baseline.
| 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 homes are cleaned in spring and fall, and that is the calendar we book around. In Hornsby Bend the spring visit comes late March to April and the fall visit late November to December. One crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs, so a window and gutter visit needs only one clear day.
Each visit finds something different. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste, and spring rain carries runoff from the roof onto the lower panes. In fall, the leaf load is what leaves clogged gutters and piles against the downspouts. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons, including the Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms across Texas, can move the dates, and we will call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and cleaning solutions will not lift them; a mineral treatment will. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass. On those houses we schedule a third visit rather than waiting for the next season.
You can see when windows need it: a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You can see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain. On residential properties both are easy to notice from the driveway, and both are worth a look before the season turns.
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 works across Hornsby Bend and the surrounding part of Travis County, mostly on residential properties. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted by the same method, but this page covers houses. We see the same window cleaners' problems on every street, so the first estimate is usually the fastest way to know what your house needs. To schedule service, send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call and we will go through the same questions.
Two windows of the year fill our calendar fastest: the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. If you can book before those start, the professional window cleaning and the cleaning of gutters and downspouts go into an open week. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so the crew never shows up without a plan.
Every window gets the same treatment from the pole under our window cleaning services: outside glass, frames and sills. That is part of the schedule, not an upgrade. Keeping the outside of the house in good order also protects curb appeal, and it gives us a clear first look at the roofline for anything that needs attention.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We do not hand the gutters to a second company.
The number comes from the stories and the residential window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without that information. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through it.
For many houses, yes. The outside carries the pollen film in spring, the rain dust, the runoff and the sprinkler spots, and an inside cleaning does not touch any of it. An inside cleaning will not remove dirt from the outside pane, so clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy.
Our customers here book in late March to April for spring and late November to December for fall. Those are the windows when the pollen and leaves are heaviest, and booking before them keeps the schedule open.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts and flush them before we touch the glass, so nothing runs down onto a pane we have just finished. Overflowing gutters also cause water damage at the fascia and the wall below, which is one more reason they come first.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the window cleaning on residential properties. Tracks are included in the same visit. None of it is billed as an add-on.
Windows inside are not part of this visit. Our window and gutter cleaning covers the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in condos, tell us about the building access when you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
