Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto the panes we just finished. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Texas, spring visits usually land in late March to April, and Terrell fall visits run late November to December. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house for a quote.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter clearing show up as one price on the quote, not two. Our washing services are priced as one job. What follows is what we find on the day that moves a quote up or down, so you know what to expect before we arrive.
A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder and more setup. Window count and oversized picture windows do too, since a large pane needs more passes and a longer pole. Glass with years of grime on it needs more passes than a pane cleaned last season. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, which cleaning does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Terrell work, a two-story house with a normal window count and clear gutters is the simplest case, and a house on regular cleanings usually lands there too. Houses with heavy tree cover and sprinkler lines hitting the glass take longer and are quoted that way. A quote for interior and exterior glass together is separate, so ask about it when you call. The fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and rough window count. We will give you the same figure on the invoice.
| 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.
Across Texas, spring visits usually land in late March to April, and in Terrell most fall visits run late November to December, which is why one crew and one visit makes sense. Terrell's wettest months are March, May and October, and that is when runoff from the roof is heaviest. In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is heavier, and wet leaves in the runs are what we clear first. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can shift either date.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction tends to build up faster. Those spots come back a day after cleaning, and we tell you when we see them. The windows inside stay as they are on this visit, so a haze you only notice when the sun is low is usually on the outside glass, and that is the sign it is due. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain means clogged gutters, and it is the warning sign for water damage on the fascia. We skip cleaning solutions on the glass and rely on purified water, so nothing is left behind to dry as residue.
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 has cleaned across Terrell and we book a slot by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the house front with your number of stories, and we confirm the estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows, late spring and late fall, fill the calendar first, so book early if you want a specific week.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Every window on the outside of the house is covered, including the sill and frame, and gutters and downspouts are cleared from end to end, which keeps runoff off the glass. If you are weighing a bundle, the window cleaning services we offer in Terrell include both jobs as one visit, and our window cleaners do the professional window cleaning from the same ladder position for the gutter run and the top-floor glass. A clean exterior also helps curb appeal from the street.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and then the outside of the windows, so runoff from the roof does not land on finished glass.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Multi-story buildings with a third floor take more ladder time, so they are priced higher than a two-story house. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will quote the job before we book it.
On a residential window in Terrell, the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the glass can look hazy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the exterior is how you remove dirt and pollen film from the glass.
Across Texas, spring visits usually land in late March to April. In Terrell, fall visits run late November to December, when leaves are heaviest on the house.
No. We do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. They are not billed as extras, and we will tell you if a track needs more time.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on it. Condos are not priced on this page, which is written for houses and residential properties in Terrell rather than residential and commercial jobs, so text a photo if you are unsure whether it fits.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
