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 the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our West University Place jobs, most customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up.
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 residential properties by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. If a job mixes residential and commercial frontage, tell us when you call and we will say what that changes.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, window counts that include oversized picture windows, clogged gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the quotes that surprise people are the ones where the window washing services and gutter work both need a boom or scissor lift. We give you the figure before anyone climbs. Multi-story buildings and houses with a third story are quoted on story count first, then window count. Each residential window is counted once, sill and screen included, so the number matches the house. If you send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count, we can usually tell you the window count from it, and that gives you an exact number for the window cleaning services part of the quote. Regular cleanings keep the glass and gutters from building up to that point.

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 West University Place customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Across Texas, the spring visit runs late March to April and the fall visit late November to December.
In the spring, pollen forms a film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters. In the fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the downspout elbows, which is how clogged gutters start. West University Place gets about 55.9 inches of rain a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months. Heavy rain in those months runs over the gutters and down the wall, which is how water damage starts on trim and siding. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms can move those dates, and a storm passing through is a reason to call us out after the fact.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, need a third visit. That is the spotting that comes back a day after cleaning and the needles that pack the downspouts between visits. A house near a busy road or construction also tends to need the extra visit. Cleaning solutions alone will not hold back the grime on those houses for long, but regular visits remove dirt before it bonds to the glass.
You can tell the windows need it when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. We would rather see you before either of those happens.
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 have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across West University Place, and every job runs on the same booking process. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the approximate window count and a time slot. Our cleaning services cover gutters and exterior glass in one booking, and professional window cleaning is done by the same two people who clear the gutters, so you get one visit, not two. Our schedule fills in the busy windows of spring and fall, so calling early gets you a better slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Curb appeal is part of why people book window washing and gutter work together: clean glass and clean gutters change how the house reads from the street. Our window cleaners work every window on the house, with the gutter run done first so the glass stays clean. We clean each window we can reach safely from the ground or the pole, sill included, and tell you about the rest. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a written estimate.
Yes. Our crew of two clears gutters and downspouts and does exterior window cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before we come. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. We do not quote from a fixed chart.
On our West University Place jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spotting, so the glass looks dirty even when the inside is clean. Exterior washing is what changes how the window looks from the street. If you also want the interior and exterior of the same pane done, that is a separate decision, because this visit covers the exterior only.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall. Across Texas, the spring visit runs late March to April and the fall visit late November to December. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a slot.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff from the gutters is gone before we touch the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house stay as they are, 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
