Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across Alabama, most of our customers book spring and fall, so the calendar fills in those two windows.
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 window cleaning and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The starting price depends on the stories and the window count, and that is the first thing we ask about.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a steep roof, a window count with oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The quickest way to get an exact number is a photo of the front of the house sent by text, along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. The window washing and the washing services are quoted per visit, and the interior and exterior glass is not part of this visit. Picture windows and tall glass take longer on a ladder or a lift, and that time is in the number. Customers who book regular cleanings usually get a steadier schedule, and the price is set when we first see the house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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 Alabama, most of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The leaves and grit fall the same way on residential and commercial buildings, so the timing follows the season rather than the building type.
In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and heavy tree cover means needles and grit fill the downspouts between visits. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or construction. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so the crew plans them for a longer visit. We will tell you which of those your lot needs after the first visit.
Windows need cleaning when you see haze only when the sun is low. Haze on the windows inside the house is a separate job, and this visit does not cover it. Mineral spots need stronger cleaning solutions than a rinse, and those are quoted before the crew uses them. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain. The clogged gutters are usually the first sign of a problem, and water damage to the fascia follows if they stay that way.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Alexander City and the surrounding area, and we keep the calendar open for both jobs through the same booking. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The busy windows are the spring and fall stretches described above, and that is when the calendar fills first. Book early in those months and you get a slot that suits you. We call before we come, and the lead time is set when you book.
We are one of the window cleaning services in Alexander City that handle both gutters and exterior glass in one visit, and the window cleaners on the crew work from the same ladder position as the gutter run. Professional window cleaning done this way protects curb appeal and gets to every window and every sill in a single pass. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people, and they clean gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
We do not give a figure here because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we quote it from those.
On residential properties the outside carries the spring grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. Those build up on the residential window glass and the frames, so the outside is the part that needs the crew.
Across Alabama most of our customers book spring and fall, and the season and the leaves set the timing. Ask us when your lot is due.
No, gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared above a window, the grit and black water come down the wall, so we rinse the wall before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which is how we remove dirt from both, and nothing there is billed as an extra. Downspouts are flushed too, and that is in the number as well.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. If you live in one of the condos, check the building rules for exterior access before you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
