Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work across the Leander area every spring and fall, and most of the homes we clean here book both jobs together on the same day.
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 direct answer is simple: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. Our window washing and gutter washing services are quoted on one number, so the bundle is one figure rather than two. We count every window on the outside before we give that number, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the crew setup. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass, and the picture windows on the front of a house take longer than the small ones on the side. A residential window above the second floor takes longer again, because it is reached from the pole rather than from the ground. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years add time before the first scoop, especially when the downspouts are packed with grit and leaves. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are quoted up front. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because cleaning will not remove mineral deposits that have etched the glass, and we tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we arrive at a number for a house in Leander. We ask how many stories it has, roughly how many windows are on the outside, and whether the gutters have been done recently. If you can send a photo of the front of the house, the crew can see the roofline and the glass before they call back, which keeps the estimate close to the final invoice. Condos and townhomes that share a roofline are priced by the section we can reach from our own ladder position, and the common areas are quoted separately so nothing lands on the invoice unexpectedly. Residential properties are quoted from the stories and window count, and if a building is residential and commercial, tell us when you call so the quote covers both uses. Grime and dust that settle in the gutters and downspouts often come down the wall as runoff, which is one reason we clear the runs before touching the glass. Every visit includes a pass to remove dirt from the frames and sills. When we finish, the photos of each run and the clean glass go to your phone before the crew leaves, so you can see what was done before you pay.

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 Leander customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the glass in a single visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Texas the spring and fall visits follow the same logic, but the exact timing here depends on when the tree cover over each house drops its old leaves in spring and again in fall. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the buildup from reaching the gutter elbows.
In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass first, and the sticky tree residue builds up in the gutters and the elbows of the downspouts. In fall the leaf load is what we find most, a wet mat sitting in the runs that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we schedule against the weather rather than the calendar. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit as we see it, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass need one as well, since those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or active construction also tends to need a third visit, because the dust settles on the glass faster.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspouts. Those two signs are a good reason to call sooner rather than wait for the next scheduled visit. Clean glass and clear runs also do a lot for curb appeal on the street side of the house.
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 book window cleaning services and gutter work for Leander homes through a simple process. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and the crew will confirm an estimate and a date. Lead time depends on how many jobs are already on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call. The two busiest windows of the year line up with the spring and leaf seasons, and that is when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months is the simplest way to get the day you want.
Our window cleaners work the glass from a water-fed pole where the house allows it, which keeps the work off the siding and the windows clean without a ladder against the wall. Where a pane needs more than water, the crew adds gentle cleaning solutions to the frames and sills. Professional window cleaning means the screens, sills and frames are handled as part of the visit, and the crew does not leave a streak line behind as it finishes each side. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, since the crew does not go inside. For multi-story buildings and homes with awkward rooflines, we confirm the setup on the phone so the crew arrives ready. Clogged gutters that have been left for a season can start to leak behind the fascia and cause water damage, so when we find that on arrival, we photograph it and report it to you rather than guessing at the cause.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass, so one visit covers the window and gutter cleaning on the house. Nobody is booked for a separate trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before anyone is scheduled.
On the houses we clean in Leander, the outside is where the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect. Even clean windows can look hazy from the street in low sun, so the exterior visit is the part that makes a visible difference.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, once the bloom passes, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Book early in those months, because our calendar fills first then. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Not if the order is right. We clear the roof, the gutters and every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. If the glass were washed first, the grit from the runs would run across it, so we never do it that way.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are handled on the same pass. They are not billed as extras, and they are included in the number we give you.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and the windows inside the house are not part of this booking. We do not do pressure washing on the siding or the walks either.
You do not need to be home. 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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
