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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Texas City jobs, most customers book this in the spring and again in the fall, when the pollen and leaves are 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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge: we price by stories and the approximate window count, and a combined visit is cheaper than booking the gutters and the glass separately. Stories and roof pitch, the number of windows and any oversized panes, gutters not opened in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove are the things that move the quote on the day. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras, and the cleaning solutions for the glass are included in the price.
On a Texas City job we start with the front of the house, a photo sent by text, and the stories. That is usually enough to give a firm number before anyone climbs. For one recent Texas City job, the quote moved because the back run sat on a walk-out basement with a third story above it and the windows included several picture windows that needed a boom or scissor lift; the detail is in the case record linked below. A house with heavy tree cover over the roof, or a pane run that has never been cleaned, needs more time on the ladder, and gutters and downspouts packed with years of debris do too; we say so before the visit.
Our window cleaning services on a standard visit cover the outside of the glass, and the crew rinses the sills and frames. The interior and exterior surfaces are separate jobs; this visit covers the exterior only. Commercial buildings with many panes, and multi-story buildings in general, are quoted per building, and we ask for a photo of each elevation so the number holds on the day. The residential and commercial rates are set the same way, from the same inputs.
Regular cleanings keep the number lower over the years, because the grit does not have time to bond to the glass and the downspouts do not pack solid. We bring up the regular cleanings schedule when we do the first visit, and you decide whether to keep it. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a firm number.

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.
On our Texas City jobs, most customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. The pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters are heaviest in the spring; the leaf load and wet debris are heaviest in the fall. Across Texas, the Gulf storm and tropical wind seasons can move either date. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road often need a third visit, because cleaning services only last as long as the grime stays off. Professional window cleaning twice a year is a sensible rhythm for a house with trees, and it keeps the curb appeal up between seasons.
You will know the glass needs it when a haze shows up only in low sun and the frames look dull, and you will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running down the downspout. For a customer who has no trees and a clean roofline, twice a year is usually enough. For one with trees and sprinkler spotting, three or four visits is more typical once we see the glass in April. Visits on that schedule remove dirt before it bonds to the glass. Window cleaners who only come once a year miss the clogged gutters that build up between seasons, which is where the water damage starts, and between visits the runoff from a clogged gutter is what streaks the wall under it.
The first visit tells you which of these your house needs. We do not go over the DIY steps here, because the ladder and the purified water are what make the glass dry clean.
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 schedule service around the estimate: you call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a slot and a firm number. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring pollen and fall leaves, so booking early in those months keeps the slot you want.
We clean residential properties and the exterior of residential window frames, sills and screens, and we apply the same process to every window on the house so the glass dries even. Our window cleaning services cover condos too; a condo block with several separate rooflines is quoted once we see those rooflines. The sill is wiped on each pane, not skipped on the way to the next one. Clean windows are the result of the order we work in, not a separate upsell. If you want an estimate for a window and gutter cleaning on a house that is not on this list, send the photo and we will tell you whether we can reach it safely.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our window cleaning services and gutter work go out as one visit, with the gutters cleaned first and then the glass, so the grime that comes off the roof does not land on clean panes.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or by text, before the visit.
Yes. Across Texas the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots land on the outside of the glass first, so an exterior visit is the one that shows, and the windows inside stay cleaner by comparison.
Our customers here book in the spring after the pollen drops and in the fall after the leaves, so those are the windows to plan around.
No. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, and gutters first and glass last means the runoff is finished before a pane is touched, so nothing comes back down the wall.
These are part of our washing services: screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every visit, and tracks are included on a standard job.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here.
No. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
