Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dripping off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Anniston jobs, most customers book us in the spring and again in the fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because our window washing services and the gutter work share one setup. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories, steep roofs and multi-story buildings take more time on the ladder, and the window count and picture windows change how long the glass takes. We count every window on the outside, from a single residential window to a full wall of glass.
What we find on the day moves the quote most. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything can be reached. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with ordinary cleaning solutions. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the flushing helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash back down the glass.
For a single house on our Anniston jobs, the quote came down to the stories and the number of runs under heavy tree cover, not the window count alone. The most useful thing you can do is text us a photo of the front of the house with your story count, so we can see the window and gutter layout before the crew is on the way. Stories, window count and a photo are enough for us to give you the exact number, and the crew does not show up with a different one.
| 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, the spring and fall visits are the two dates most customers keep, and in Anniston most of our customers book both twice a year. The spring visit, which runs mid to late April across Alabama, comes after the spring film builds on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters. The fall visit comes in November to early December, once the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In spring, pollen clings to the window and gutter surfaces and makes the glass look hazy, and the spring debris is what clogs the downspout elbows. In fall, the wet leaf mat is the main problem. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm each visit with you before we book it.
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 all bring in more grime and runoff between cleanings. Those are the houses where regular cleanings make more sense than the two-visit schedule. A house near a busy road picks up more dirt on the lower panes, and picture windows show it first, while a sprinkler line leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 work across Anniston and the residential properties around it, and most of our calls come from homeowners who want the window cleaning and the gutters on the same day. Booking runs through a quick estimate, and to schedule service you call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The same estimate covers condos, and residential and commercial buildings are quoted by stories and window count.
The busy windows are the spring season and the fall leaf season. Those are the weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the better your chance at the date you want. We keep a steady crew for the window cleaning services and the gutter work. Professional window cleaning is the same crew's job every visit, and we send them back to the same house so the photos of each run can be compared visit to visit.
We do not promise same-day or next-day service. Your lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we tell you the date when you book. Clogged gutters that have been left through a wet season can lead to water damage on the fascia, and we note that in the photos we send you after the visit.
Yes. Our crew does both the window and gutter cleaning in one visit, with the same two people doing the ladder work and the glass. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes.
We give the number from the stories, the window count and a photo of the house, by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. The stories and the glass decide the figure on each house, so the number you hear before the visit is the one you pay.
Yes, the outside takes most of the load here. Dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots all land on the exterior glass, and clean outside glass does the most for curb appeal, since the outside is what shows through when the sun is low. Inside cleaning is not part of this visit.
Across Alabama, the spring visit comes in mid to late April, and the fall visit runs from November to early December. Most customers in Anniston book both, and we confirm each date with you before we book it.
Not when we do the work. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and then do the glass, so the grit and black water are already gone before anyone touches a pane and the runoff never lands on the clean windows.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the glass work on the same visit.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, and the windows inside the house are not part of it, because the interior and exterior of the glass are two different jobs. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
