Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and 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. Across Texas, most of our customers book it in the spring and in the fall, and we keep the same crew on the job from start to finish.
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 gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count when you call at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm it in writing. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras billed on top.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Work on multi-story buildings and on a third story takes more time, and so does a steep roof that is slow to set ladders on. Window count matters, and only exterior glass counts, since windows inside are not part of the job. Oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift add time too. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and that takes longer than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because cleaning will not remove it.
Our crew has seen clogged gutters back up within a season on houses with heavy shade, and the water that sheets over the edge is the same water that ends up behind the fascia. On a house that has been sitting with water damage at the eave, we note it in the photos and report it rather than selling anything. Owners who want the most accurate number book a visit as soon as they can, because a crew that sees the roofline ahead of time can quote the day it arrives.
For window washing on an exterior that has not been done in a while, the glass often shows a film that rinsing alone does not lift. Our professional window cleaning uses a water-fed pole and purified water, which dries clean, and that keeps the curb appeal of the front of the house consistent from one side to the other. Send us the front of the house and the number of stories, and we will give you the figure before anyone sets a ladder.
| 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 |

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 Richardson customers book both services twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and bloom season and once in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On our jobs, the spring visit clears the cleaning services need from the winter and the haze that builds on south-facing glass, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each of these cleanings is consistent. In the spring, the pollen film sits on the glass and a sticky paste packs the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall, the leaf load is heavy, and on a house with a residential window facing a tree line the grit collects along the sill. Wind and storm seasons move the dates, so we confirm the day before rather than promising a fixed week.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming down between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a separate treatment. Houses near a busy road or a construction site take a lot of dust, and the residential properties we clean in those areas are on a shorter schedule so the clean windows stay that way between visits, and every window on the house gets the same attention.
To schedule service with us, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set the date. Watch for haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low, because that is the sign windows need it. Water that sheets over the gutter edge during a rain is the sign the gutters need it, and that is a visit worth booking before the next storm.
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 works across Richardson, and the neighborhoods we clean most often are the ones where customers have asked us back, so we keep the calendar open for them. Booking runs by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the window and the price in writing. Lead time is set by the calendar at the time you call, and we will tell you the first open day rather than guess.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you call in those weeks, expect the first open slot to be a few days out and plan around it. Outside those weeks there is usually more room, and picture windows take longer than the smaller panes, so a slower week suits a first visit and puts the house on a regular schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and we call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the street. We are on the ladder and the lift for the gutter run and the glass, and we send photos of every run to your phone before we leave, which is the record you keep for the house. The washing services and window cleaning services on this page cover the exterior only; interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and the grime we remove comes off the outside glass and the frames.
We clean gutters and downspouts in the same visit, and the runoff that comes off a clean roof is clear rather than brown. Quotes for residential and commercial jobs start the same way: stories, a photo of the front, and a written confirmation. We also work on multi-unit buildings and condos, where the scheduling runs through the association. If you need the work done and want to remove dirt from the outside before a sale, mention it when you call so the crew brings the right lift, and mention any cleaning solutions you already use on the frames so the crew knows what is on the sills.
Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the windows last, so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 before we come. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Yes. The outside collects pollen film in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots on the glass, and regular cleanings take them off before they set. Interior glass can look fine while the outside still hazes when the sun is low.
Most of our Richardson customers book in the spring and in the fall, once the bloom is done and the leaves have dropped. Those are the windows our calendar fills fastest, so book early if you can.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again after the gutters are cleared, and that is the reason for the order.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and frames are covered in the exterior cleaning, and none of those are billed as separate extras.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on it. If you need that work, tell us when you call and we will point you to the right service.
No, 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. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
