The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Here in Katy, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 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 you on the phone for window and gutter cleaning is the number we charge, and the saving from doing both together is shown on your quote. If the building is part residential and commercial, mention it when you call, because the walk-around changes the count.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same ones we see every visit: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that runs high with oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Work on multi-story buildings usually costs more to reach, and the price reflects that. Interior and exterior glass are priced differently, and this visit covers only the exterior. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A common case is a house with picture windows across the back and clogged gutters that have not been opened for several seasons. The quote moves once we find gutters and downspouts packed with needles and leaves, and glass that the sprinkler line hits every morning, because both take more time than the visible run. Ask us for the same kind of estimate: text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, and we will work out your number from that.
Every window count is approximate until the crew is on the ladder, and we say so when we quote. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so there is no chemical line on the quote. That is also the reason we ask for a photo, so the number reflects the house and not a guess. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone books a date.

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 Katy customers book both jobs as regular cleanings, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. What we find at each visit follows the calendar: in the spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky residue in the gutters are the first things we see, and in the fall it is the leaf load that packs the runs and the grit that washes down the wall after a rain. Between cleanings, the glass picks up a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Storm and wind seasons, including the Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms that move across Texas, can shift those dates, and we adjust the schedule when they do.
Some homes need a third visit, and we tell you that after the first look. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual result. A gutter that overflows in a rain is the one to watch, because the water it sheets down can cause water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Those are the houses where our crew books three or four visits a year.
Our customers with no trees and no sprinkler spotting usually need just the fall visit, and our customers under heavy tree cover book more often for the reasons above. A house near a busy road picks up a film of grime and dust that a twice-a-year schedule does not keep up with. You will know it is time for windows when the glass shows a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and you will know it is time for gutters when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you are unsure which of those applies to your lot, send us a photo and we will tell you what we see.
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 cleaned residential properties across Katy, from older homes with long gutter runs to newer houses with large picture windows that need the exterior glass done in a single pass. Each residential window on the house is done from the outside in the same pass as the gutters, and condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Booking is simple: you give us a call or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we return a written estimate. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. Outside those windows lead time is shorter, and we can usually give you a date once we have your estimate in hand.
We want every window and every downspout on the house to be done the same day, not left for a second trip. That is the reason we do gutter and window cleaning together, and it is why one visit covers the whole exterior. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up a date that works for your household.
Yes. Our professional window cleaning and our gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass.
We cannot give you a number on this page, because the price comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it.
Yes, because the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most people expect, and on our Katy jobs the glass is the first thing customers notice once the film is gone.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Those are the two windows when leaves and grit build up the most, and our calendar fills during them.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Washing the glass first means the runoff from the runs lands on the clean windows as it comes down the wall, so the order matters.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our window washing services, which is how we remove dirt from the frame. None of it is billed as an extra.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside are not part of it, and pressure washing is not on this job.
You do not need to be home, since our crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the 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.
