Gutters and windows are two jobs that most crews book separately, and it costs you two trips. Our crew does both in one visit: gutters and downspouts first, glass last, so nothing runs back across the clean windows you just paid for.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. Most of our San Elizario customers book spring and fall, and we work those visits around the seasons here. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows as two separate jobs. For professional window cleaning and gutter work, the number we give on the phone is the number we charge when we finish. Stories and window count do most of the work in window washing; the rest is what the crew finds on the day.
On our jobs the quote moves most on multi-story buildings and on houses with a third story, or a roof steep enough that the crew has to set up a boom or scissor lift instead of a standard ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer per pane, and heavy grime on the sills adds time too. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and clogged gutters take more time than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate question: a cleaning will not remove it, and we tell you that before the work starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a two-story house with heavy cover over the back run, the gutters are usually the part of the quote that moves; the crew clears the downspouts before the glass is touched, the same order we use on every job. To get your exact number, send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the quote. We do not quote remotely from a guess.
| 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 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 San Elizario customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for a homeowner on this schedule. Across Texas, spring visits land in late March to April, and our fall visit runs late November to December, after the leaves have dropped.
In April we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. By late fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that sits against the downspout outlets and holds runoff against the wall until it freezes. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we call before we come to confirm the day.
Some homes need a third visit beyond the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than average, so it needs more effort to remove dirt on each visit. If your house fits one of those, we will tell you on the first visit and then schedule service around it. The sign that clean windows need another visit is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain, the first step toward water damage at the fascia.
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 the city, and the easiest way to find out whether our washing services reach your street is to ask us. Booking our window cleaning services starts with a quote by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Lead times depend on the season, and the spring and fall visit windows fill first, so to schedule service, call early in those months.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew reaches every window from the outside. Interior and exterior work are scoped separately; this visit is exterior only, and our crew does not come inside. We call before we come so you know the arrival window. We handle residential and commercial work; residential properties follow the same steps as a house, condos are quoted by stories and window count, and a commercial building is quoted per building and billed on the agreed schedule.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, which are the spring season and the late fall leaf drop. If you can book outside those windows you will usually get an earlier slot. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you the next open date for your house.
Yes, the same crew does both jobs in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the debris from the gutters never runs across the windows you just paid to have cleaned.
We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text, and we do not work from a residential window price list. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the number.
Yes. The outside takes the dust, rain spotting and sprinkler spotting that the inside never sees, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. Our crew cleans the exterior glass on this visit, and the inside is not part of the job.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and our fall visits run late November to December. Those are the windows when the leaf load and dust are at their worst, so the visit does the most good.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush every downspout before anyone touches the glass. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does the crew clean the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. We do not bill those as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit; the crew cleans the outside of the glass and the frames with water and purified water, with no cleaning solutions added to the glass.
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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
