Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We clear the gutters first and do the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Daphne customers book this combined visit in the spring and fall, and we will tell you which season suits your house when you call (866) 435-6328.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so the story count is the first thing we ask about. Professional window cleaning is priced the same way, from the story count and the window count. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes more time on the ladder, a large count of windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and come down packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, 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. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so the quote covers the outside only.
On our Daphne jobs the things that show up most in the quote are a house with several levels, a long run of gutter that has gone unopened for a while, and a row of picture windows across the back. We have seen clogged gutters push water behind the fascia, which is how water damage starts, and the crew notes it on the spot so you know before we leave. Heavy grime on the glass usually comes from the same dust that sits in the gutters, so the two jobs tend to run together. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal on the front of a house. The price for window washing on the upper floors covers the pole work. The fastest way to get the exact number is to send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the story count and a rough window count. We return a written estimate from that, and it does not change once the crew arrives.
| 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.
Most of our Daphne customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Call to schedule service before the spring calendar fills. Across Alabama the spring visit lands in mid to late April. By then we usually find a pollen film on the south-facing windows, and the gutters hold pollen paste that washes into the downspouts with the first rain. In the fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and a wet leaf mat that sits over the run for a few weeks is what sags a hanger. Storm and wind seasons on the Gulf coast can move these dates, so we look at the house before setting the calendar rather than sending everyone out on the same week.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so on the first call. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. Our cleaning services cover each residential window on the outside of the house, so a spotted pane gets the same attention as a clean one. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is a sign the water needs to be adjusted rather than a sign the windows were missed. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grime faster than one set back on a quiet lot. A customer with no trees and no sprinkler spotting usually does well on twice a year, and a customer with trees overhead or spotting on the glass tends to book three or four times. You will see the difference in the photos we send after each visit.
Watch for two signs between visits. Clean windows should look clear from every angle, so a haze that only shows when the sun is low means it is time to book. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady 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.
Our crew provides window cleaning services and clears gutters across Daphne, and we keep the calendar open enough to take a new house within the lead time we give on the call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date that fits your schedule. The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest in those months, so calling early in those stretches helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work because the crew does not come inside. Our washing services cover the glass and the frames on every window, and the gutter work covers every run and downspout, so one visit handles both. Residential properties and condos are both on the schedule, and the same crew handles the grime, runoff and debris that collect on each one. We clear the gutters and downspouts before touching the glass, and we do not leave debris behind for the next rain to remove dirt from the frames.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. The gutters come first and the glass last, so the water from the gutters never runs across windows we have just cleaned. One visit covers both, and you get photos of every run before the crew leaves.
We do not quote a number from a general figure. The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we return a written estimate that holds once the crew arrives. If the property is more than a single house, such as a residential and commercial building, tell us on the call and we will say whether the crew can take it before you book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries what the inside never sees: a seasonal film in the spring, rain dust, and spots left by sprinklers. Those build up on the exterior faces and can dull the glass even when the inside looks fine. Outside glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak. Cleaning the outside alone is a complete job on our side.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, once the calendar opens, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Two cleanings a year keep the gutters clear and the glass clean, and regular cleanings on that schedule are the pattern we see most often. If your house sits under heavy tree cover, we may suggest a third visit.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first and glass last means the leaves, grit and runoff from the gutters are cleared before any window is touched. Cleaning the glass first means someone has to clean it again once the gutters are done, which is why we do not work that way.
Screens are taken down, hand-rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of these are billed as extras, and they are part of the price we give on the call.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not clean interior and exterior glass together on this visit. We also do not do pressure washing on the siding or walkways. We will note anything else we see and report it to you.
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. The crew calls before arriving and sends photos when the job is done.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
