Yes, 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, the two windows when 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and multi-story buildings take a longer setup than a single level, so the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Some window cleaners quote by the pane; we quote by stories and window count. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. What drives it is the work we find on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of window panes, picture windows or oversized glass, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Signs of water damage we see on the roofline or siding are noted in the photos before we leave. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a house with heavy buildup, the first visit is usually the longest, because the crew clears the packed runs before the glass is started. Regular cleanings after that run shorter, since the gutters are not packed solid. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, so it is worth doing both at once. To get an exact number, send us the number of stories and a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. We will tell you what the crew will need to see on the roofline before we book a date. Our window washing is exterior only on this visit. We quote interior and exterior glass on separate lines, so the windows inside stay as they are. We also handle professional window cleaning for the outside of the home alone if that is all you need. Mineral spots from sprinklers need more than ordinary cleaning solutions, so that work is quoted after the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate.

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 Auburn customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. Those two cleanings line up with the pollen and leaf seasons. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for these two jobs. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass, especially on a residential window that faces the sun, and a paste of pollen in the gutters, and in fall the leaf load is the main problem. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we schedule around the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit between the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually adds to the buildup between visits, and the clean windows on those sides are the ones that spot first. Those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning. We help you schedule service around the calendar you actually have, so the visits fit how your house collects grime. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze on every window that only shows when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Both are signs to book a visit before the next storm season.
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 take on residential and commercial work across Auburn: we clean the outside of residential properties and small commercial buildings, including condos and homes with multiple stories. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew then sets a date based on what is open on the calendar, and during the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, slots fill first. We call before we come, so nobody has to wait at the door.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. Our crew handles washing services for windows and gutters and downspouts in one trip, and we remove dirt and runoff from the gutters so it does not reach the glass below. We also do window cleaning services for the grime that builds up on the outside of homes and condos without touching the inside.
Yes. The two-person crew that cleans your windows is the same one that clears your gutters, in the same visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from stories and window count. Send those by phone or text and we give you the figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those are the things the inside glass never sees. Ordinary cleaning solutions lift the film, but mineral spots from sprinklers need a separate treatment, which we quote after the visit.
Most of our Auburn customers book two cleanings a year, in spring and fall, once pollen and leaves have built up. Keeping up with regular cleanings stops the gutters from packing solid between visits.
No. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the same visit. Large picture windows count toward the exterior price.
We clean exterior only on this visit, and we quote the interior and exterior glass on separate lines. We do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate open. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
