Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here in Rockport, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Rockport customers book it in the spring and fall, when the leaf and dust loads are at their heaviest.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings with several roof lines take longer again. A large window count or oversized picture windows adds glass to the route. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more time at each run, and regular cleanings keep that time down because lighter debris comes out faster. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add to the job, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and the price covers both. Cleaning solutions are not used on the glass, since purified water does the work. Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote is for exterior work only, not interior and exterior glass together.
For a Rockport house, the most useful thing you can send us is the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text. That lets us tell you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder, and the number on the invoice matches it. If you want cleanings on a set schedule, mention it when you call so we can quote the repeat visits.

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.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April and fall visits late November to December, and on our Rockport jobs the same two windows hold, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes here. On our jobs, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters in the spring, and the leaf load comes in the fall. Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move the dates across Texas, so we check the forecast before we book. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road each tends to call for a third visit, and a multi-story building often needs a second setup per side. A sprinkler line leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near traffic collects dust faster than the glass can handle.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and that haze hurts curb appeal more than most people expect. Gutters tell you the same way, with water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Clogged gutters are the usual cause, and the runoff can back up onto the fascia and lead to water damage if it keeps coming. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the spring or fall date with you.
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. Call or text us for an estimate with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number on the phone. Our lead time depends on the calendar, and in the busy spring and fall windows our schedule fills first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our washing services cover window and gutter cleaning on residential and commercial properties. Each visit covers the outside of every residential window we can reach from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, and we do professional window cleaning on the same order of work every time. If you want to schedule service, text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the grit from the roof does not end up on clean windows. You get one crew, one visit and one invoice.
We give the number by phone or text from the stories and the size of the house, and we charge that number. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front to get it.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime, and rain alone does not remove dirt from it. Sprinkler spots sit on the glass too. The inside stays as it is, but the outside is what you see first through the glass, so it is usually the visit that makes the difference.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April and fall visits late November to December. On our Rockport jobs that means the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf drop, before the calendar fills.
Not if we follow our order. Gutters first, glass last: the roof is blown clear, the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, and the wall gets a few minutes to drain, so the runoff is gone before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are done as part of the visit. Tracks and hard-water stains are separate, and we tell you about them before we do anything.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
