The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof runs down onto clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Royse City jobs, most customers book these two services in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up the most. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a number before we come.
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. Booking the window and gutter cleaning together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The same stories-and-count method covers residential and commercial jobs, and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the channel, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the flush is what removes dirt from the channel. Ask which cleaning solutions go on the glass, and we will tell you before the visit. Gutters and downspouts are priced as one job, so none of the flushing is billed as an extra.
On a Royse City job, the quote usually goes up when the gutters carry a heavy load of seed and grit. The pollen paste settles in the elbows and holds water, so the crew spends more time flushing before the channel runs clear. One recent job on a two-story house in Royse City came in higher than the first estimate because the downspouts were packed and the glass had a film of dust and sprinkler spotting. We showed the owner the photos of each run before we billed the final number, and the owner approved it before we charged. Regular cleanings use the same count, so the second quote takes less time on the phone. To get the exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job needs before we come.

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 Royse City customers book both services twice a year, once in the spring before the wettest months and once in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Our crew also sees the same problems each time, so the schedule gets easier to plan around. Most houses land on two cleanings a year.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and forms a paste in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load builds up and causes clogged gutters, and the wet leaves sit against the fascia, which is where water damage usually starts. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates by a few weeks, so we set the visit when the gutters and glass need it, not on a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those houses move from regular cleanings to a three- to four-visit schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster. Those are the places where a third visit makes sense.
You can tell the windows need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when roof runoff sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal from the street. If you see either one between visits, call us and we will look at the photos and tell you what the house needs.
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 cleans residential properties across Royse City and the surrounding area, and we schedule service by phone or text. The estimate starts with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date before we come. Our typical lead time depends on the calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the next open date.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop. When our calendar fills during those windows, we book the open slots as requests come in, so calling early gives you the right choice of dates for window and gutter cleaning. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame of each residential window. Professional window cleaning means the glass gets the same care whether it sits on the ground floor or the third. Our goal is to leave clean windows that match the rest of the house, and every visit ends with photos of the finished glass and gutters sent to your phone.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the roof never run across the windows we have just cleaned.
The cost of our washing services depends on the stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way. We give you the number by phone or text before we come, and we do not quote a figure for a house we have not seen.
On our Royse City jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: dust film, rain dust, roof runoff, and sprinkler spotting that builds up between visits. Cleaning the outside helps remove dirt from the glass and frames, so the view stays clear even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our Royse City customers book in the spring and in the fall, so the spring visit lands before the wettest months and the fall visit lands after the leaves drop. We can tell you the open dates in each season when you call.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall, so cleaning the glass afterward avoids a second wash.
We rinse the screens and wipe the sills as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit, and none of these are billed as separate extras.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work is not the same job. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing, and we tell you that before we book.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
