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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Texas, our customers most often book these in spring and fall, and that is when our crew is busiest here too.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We build it from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are a named line on the quote, used only when a pane needs more than water, and gutters and downspouts are priced as one run from the ground up.
On our jobs, the same things move the quote every time: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window counts with oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Each of those adds time, so we name them before we start.
The fastest way to get an exact figure is a text with a photo of the front of the house and your story count. We check the window count from the photo, then call you back with the number. Ask for a written estimate if you want the scope in writing before you book a date. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through it.

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, most of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and in fall. On our Santa Fe jobs that means a spring visit and a fall visit, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both. We have built the calendar around that rhythm, and it is why our professional window cleaning and gutter work tend to line up.
What we find on each visit depends on the season. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load that drops after the first cold snap, and the wet mat it turns into at the bottom of each downspout. Wind and storm seasons can move those dates, so we check the roofline on every visit rather than trusting the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, so we see clogged gutters sooner. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects more grime on the glass. Some owners also ask about windows inside, and that is a separate quote, not part of this visit. Multi-story buildings and homes with large picture windows need more time on the ladder, which makes cleaning services on those houses a little more involved. Regular cleanings, booked twice a year, are what keep the gutters running between the Gulf hurricane and tropical storm seasons across Texas.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows need a visit when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need a visit when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Ignoring the second one is how small problems turn into water damage on the fascia and siding below.
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.
We clean exterior windows and gutters for residential window and gutter cleaning clients across Santa Fe, and our crew can usually tell you on the first call how soon we can get to you. Our window cleaning services start with an estimate by phone or text: the number of stories and a photo of the house front is all we need to give you a firm number. Once you accept, we schedule service for a date that fits your calendar. Ask us first about residential and commercial buildings, such as a shop with apartments above it, and we will say whether it fits our crew. Condos are priced the same way, from story count and window count.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we arrive, and we do not come inside. Our crew clears every window that is reachable from outside and photographs the finished glass so you can see it before we leave. We cover every window on the house that the crew can reach safely, and we note any sill or frame that needs a separate look.
The two busiest windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the sooner you get a slot. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that shows most in the spring. Residential properties in Santa Fe get the same crew and the same visit order as any other job, which is how we keep clean windows and clear gutters on schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar before those weeks fill.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they work gutters first, glass last so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean glass.
We do not quote a fixed figure here. The number comes from your story count and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book anything.
On our Santa Fe jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: dust in spring, road grit, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Those stay on the outside of the pane no matter how clean the inside is kept. Rain alone does not remove dirt from that outside surface, so it builds up until it is washed.
On our jobs, most customers here book in late spring and again in fall, after the leaves drop. Book early in those windows because our calendar fills quickly.
Not on our jobs. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters has already drained before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the house.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are two separate quotes, and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
