Yes, the same two people who clean your gutters clean the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. We do this work across Texas every spring and fall, and on our Mercedes jobs most of our customers book in those two seasons.
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 a window and gutter job done in one visit costs less than two separate bookings. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. This is a starting point; the exact figure comes from your stories, your window count and what the crew finds on the day.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Cleaning solutions for the glass and frames are part of the price too. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. We will ask about the window count and whether the gutters have been cleaned recently. Here, the trees and the pollen drive more of the work than the square footage does, so we ask about those too. A residential job and a residential and commercial account are priced the same way, from the same questions, so the first call tells you what to expect. If your place has picture windows or a lot of glass, mention it when you call, because one large pane takes more time than a standard window. Tell us whether you want interior and exterior glass, since this visit covers the outside only. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts if that helps you decide. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through the numbers with you.

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 Mercedes customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Plenty of window cleaners skip the gutters entirely, so that second trip is one you usually do not have to make. Regular cleanings keep the schedule simple, and most customers book them about six months apart. Across Texas the pattern is the same spring and fall, and the dates move with storms and wind.
At each visit we look for specific things. In the spring we find the pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed in the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs. Dust builds up on the glass between visits, and the crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills on the same trip. Windows inside the house are a separate job. 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. The spots that come back a day after cleaning are almost always sprinkler water, and the crew will tell you that on the first visit.
Professional window cleaning is not the same as a quick rinse from the ground. Cleaning services done on a schedule keep the glass and the gutters working as they should, and that protects your curb appeal over time. Clogged gutters that overflow in the rain are the sign that water damage is on its way, and haze on the glass that you only see when the sun is low means the windows need a visit.
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.
Booking is simple. You call or text, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate before we set a date. Typical lead time is listed on our booking page, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we need a clear way to reach the gutters and the glass.
Our crew has cleaned residential properties and multi-story buildings around Mercedes. We handle every window on the outside of the house. Each residential window gets the same pole rinse, and the upper stories are done from a boom or scissor lift where a ladder is not safe. We handle window and gutter cleaning in one visit, so you book once. When a sill is dirty or a screen needs rinsing, we do it on the same trip. Our goal is to schedule service that fits your calendar and to leave clean windows behind us.
The busy windows are the spring and the fall, and our calendar fills in those months. If you want a date in those weeks, book early. Outside of them we usually have room, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will find the nearest open slot.
Yes, it is the same two people. The gutters and downspouts go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff never reaches the windows we have already cleaned.
We do not give a figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. Our washing services are priced from those same questions.
Yes, because the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots here. Grime on the outside builds up between visits and cuts the light more than inside dirt does.
Across Texas most customers book in late March to April and in late November to December, when the tree film and the fall leaves are heaviest. If you want a date in those weeks, call early.
No, because the gutters are done first and the glass last. The water runs off the gutters and the wall while the glass waits, so nothing dirty lands on a pane we have just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we tell you about any track that needs more than a wipe. We do not bill those as extras on this visit.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit. Ask us when you book if you need one of those, and we will tell you who to call.
No, you do not need to be home. 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 leave the side gate unlocked. If it is one of the condos, tell us which floor the windows are on when you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
