Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We always do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing washes back onto 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. Our Bessemer customers most often book this in the spring and in the fall, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst.
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.
Our washing services are priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The window washing line on the quote is based on that window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so there are no surprises on the invoice. We do not give a percentage for the bundle saving here; the figure comes from your own house when we quote it.
On the day, the crew looks at what actually drives the work. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and more setup. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and any oversized residential window that is harder to handle safely. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and wet leaves, take longer to clear, and a clogged run sends runoff over the edge and down the siding. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach what is underneath. A regular cleaning will remove dirt from the glass, but it will not take out hard-water spotting left by sprinklers, so we tell you about that before we quote.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras we bill later. We flush each downspout until the water runs clear, so the water from the roof does not back up at the bottom. That work is already in the quote.
Here is how the price works in practice. Our crew checks the stories, the window count and the gutter condition, and then sends a number by phone or text. The quote covers the gutters and downspouts, the exterior glass and the haul-off of debris, so you know what you are paying for before the truck pulls in. If something changes on the day, like a gutter that is more clogged than the photo showed, the crew tells you before doing extra work and gives you a new number.
To get the exact figure for your house, the easiest way is to call or text (866) 435-6328 with a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories. We can usually give you a number from that, and we confirm it once we see the roof line in person. Bessemer homes with mature trees over the roof or a lot of glass on a two-story front take a bit more time, and we factor that into the estimate. Condos and townhomes in the area are often quoted differently because the access is different, so tell us what kind of building it is when you call.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |

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 Bessemer jobs most customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, which works out to two cleanings a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. That is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The spring visit clears the dust that settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before freezing weather arrives.
At each visit, what we find depends on the season. In spring, the pollen film on the glass looks like a yellow haze, and the gutters get a paste of seed fluff and blown debris that clogs the elbows. In fall, the leaf load is heavier, and wet leaves packed into the gutter can hold water against the fascia through the winter. Storms and strong wind can move the schedule, so we keep an eye on the weather when we book.
Some houses need a third visit. If there are heavy trees over the roof, the needles and grit collect in the downspouts between visits, so those customers are often on a three or four month schedule of regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots on every window it reaches, and those houses need more frequent work on the windows. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the glass, and it may need extra attention too.
If you want to know whether your house needs more than two visits, the crew will tell you on the first visit after looking at the trees, the sprinkler lines and the road exposure. Windows need attention when you notice a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspouts. Clean windows and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, so it is worth keeping on top of both.
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 window cleaners have also cleaned gutters across Bessemer, and we book those jobs through the same phone line you would use for an estimate. To schedule service, call or text (866) 435-6328, and we will ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there, the crew sets a date, and we call before we come, so you know when to expect us. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, because the crew stays outside and does not come into the house.
The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so if you want a particular week, it helps to call early. Outside those windows, we usually have more room. For a typical job, lead time depends on how many crews are out that week, and we will give you the date when you call. Our window cleaning services use water-fed poles for the upper windows and purified water for the glass, so every window dries without streaks. Where a frame needs more than water, the crew uses cleaning solutions and rinses them off before leaving.
We also work with property managers and owners who keep several buildings on a schedule. Most of our work is on residential properties, and we also handle residential and commercial buildings for managers. Multi-story buildings are quoted after we see the access points, and we set that schedule up as recurring cleaning services. If a building has a history of clogged gutters or water damage at the foundation, we tell you what we found on the first visit so the next crew knows where to look. Our experience with professional window cleaning and gutter work in Bessemer helps us spot these issues before they become costly.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit. We start on the gutters and finish on the glass, so the work happens in the right order without a second trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without seeing the house first.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, the rain residue and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass from going dull, and clean windows do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Most of our Bessemer customers book in the spring and the fall, when the dust and the leaves are heaviest. If you wait until the gutters overflow, the job takes longer.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and wait before touching the windows.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back in the same window, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the quote for the windows, so you do not pay extra for them.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Cleaning windows inside is not part of the job, and some customers book interior and exterior glass together, so tell us if that is what you want. We do not pressure wash the siding either, and if you need those, we can tell you who to call.
No, you do not need to be home. Before the crew arrives, turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
