Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls out of the gutter lands on clean panes. We price the job by stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Princeton customers book it in the fall, from November to early December, when leaves are heaviest in the gutters and on the glass.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned 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 cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and mild cleaning solutions are used only on film that water alone will not lift.
Every quote starts from the same details. Tell us the stories, the rough window count and whether the gutters have been opened lately, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. A picture of the roofline tells us more about the ladder work than a description does. A house with a window and gutter cleaning history is easier to quote, and a clear photo of the front saves a return visit. Ask for a written estimate before we book a date, so the number is in writing before the crew arrives. Our crew also takes care of the window and gutter cleaning on picture windows, which need a steadier pole and more time than standard panes, so the estimate reflects that. Regular cleanings keep the job predictable from one visit to the next. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk 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 Princeton customers book both in the fall, from November to early December, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and on those visits we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes down after the first cold rains.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Princeton gets 42.2 inches of rain a year, with March, May and October the wettest months, and clogged gutters that sit through those rains can lead to water damage. Homes near a busy road or active construction also collect more film. Our crew handles the professional window cleaning and the cleaning services for these houses on the schedule the buildup calls for, and we tell you at the first visit which schedule fits your house.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Either one means it is time to call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline.
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 with us starts with an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date and a window for the crew. We book the window and gutter cleaning on a schedule that keeps the two busy seasons, spring and fall, from filling up without warning. When the calendar is full we say so and offer the next open date, so you can plan around it.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we ask you to unlock the side gate and move cars off the driveway if windows face it. We do not bring a crew inside, so a residential window job and the gutter run happen outside the house while you go about your day.
We clean every window on the exterior that the ladder or pole can reach, and we do the sill and frame on each one. Our work on residential properties is the same as on commercial buildings in terms of method, and on multi-story buildings the boom or scissor lift is used where a ladder is not safe for the height. We run residential and commercial jobs the same way, and condos get the same exterior visit. The goal on every visit is clean windows and clear gutters, with nothing left on the ground to rinse. We aim to schedule service within the lead time you are quoted at booking, and we confirm the date before the crew leaves the yard.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the panes we have just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Our washing services are priced the same way, and the quote is the number on the invoice, with downspout flushing included.
On the houses we clean in Princeton, the outside carries most of the grime: film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can look clean while the glass is still hazy from outside.
Most of our customers here book in the fall, from November to early December, when leaves are heaviest in the gutters. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April.
Not if we work in order. Gutters first, glass last, so anything that comes out of the gutter drains away before we touch the panes below, and the crew can remove dirt from the frames on the same pass.
Sills are part of the job, and we rinse screens and wipe frames as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same pass, so there is no separate line item.
We do exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside, and interior and exterior glass is a different job from this one. We also do not do pressure washing, so the job is limited to the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
