Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We always do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean panes. Pricing follows the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. We do this every spring and fall, and most of our Humble customers book the combined visit.
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.
The price is set by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, since the window cleaners set up once for both. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, whether the job is window washing, gutters or both. Your starting point is the package price for your house size, and the exact figure comes from a short call at (866) 435-6328 or a text with a photo of the front of your house.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds when it reaches the roofline. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup, and so do oversized panes and a window count that runs higher than the estimate. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and a run that overflows can leave water damage on the fascia below. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras. The quote covers the outside glass only, so the windows inside are not part of the price.
On our Humble jobs the quotes that move most are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof, where clogged gutters come back in a few months, or where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves water spots. A typical estimate with a clear photo of the front of the house, which shows the curb appeal you want kept, is hard to get wrong. Send us the stories and a photo by text and we will tell you what the visit will cost before we book it. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings takes the same setup for every window, so an honest count matters more than a guess. Hard-to-reach panes, like a window above a porch roof, are photographed and quoted separately rather than estimated by eye.
| 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, residential properties usually book cleaning services twice a year, in spring and fall, and most residential window customers add the glass to that same visit. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. Spring visits across Texas land in late March to April, when our crews usually see the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. December into early January is when the leaf load and the first cold rains show up. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move those cleanings in either direction.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road tends to need a third visit on top of the two regular cleanings. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, so we check every window and every sill on the first visit and flag them before we leave. A house with few trees and no sprinkler problem can usually keep clean windows with one visit a year in late fall and be fine.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Schedule service with us once you see either one, and we will go over the timing on the call.
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 gutters and exterior windows across the Humble area, from homes with picture windows to multi-story buildings, townhomes and condos. Booking starts with a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early call gets you a slot before the rush. Gutters and downspouts get the same care as the glass, and runoff from the roof is checked on every run. Grime from the roofline settles on the frame, so the frame is wiped too, and the crew works to remove dirt from the glass rather than just moving it around. We cover residential and commercial properties, and we take on the washing services and window cleaning services a property needs in one visit. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Yes, and it is one of the frequently asked questions we hear. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty water off clean panes.
The number comes from stories and size, for residential and commercial buildings alike, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range here, because the exact figure depends on your house.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots in Humble, and our cleaning solutions are rinsed off with purified water so nothing dries as spots. The inside stays clean longer when the glass outside is clean.
Across Texas our customers book regular cleanings in spring and fall, and most Humble customers book the combined visit then. Call and we will check the open dates for your house.
No, because the gutters are cleared first and the glass is done last. Anything that falls during the gutter run has already landed before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
No, interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit is exterior glass only. Picture windows are cleaned from the outside on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
