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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Alabama, homeowners book us in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the roofline and the glass.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our residential window cleaning and gutter work are quoted together, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Tell us your stories and window count and we will quote it before we come.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, large picture windows, gutters that have gone years without opening and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Taller houses and multi-story buildings take longer to reach, so the story count is the first thing we ask for. Gutters that are clogged take the most time because every run has to be cleared by hand. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water, so there are no cleaning solutions left to streak, and that purified water is there to remove dirt without leaving spots. The quote covers the outside only. Windows inside are not part of it, and the interior and exterior question is a separate job from this one.
To get an exact number, send us the stories, the rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. For most residential properties, the full job, gutters and exterior glass, is one visit, and the window washing services and gutter work go out on one invoice. Regular cleanings keep the grime from building up on the glass and the debris from setting in the runs, and a clean roofline is most of what gives a house its curb appeal. If you have questions before booking, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through the estimate with you.

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 customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across Alabama, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and in Fort Payne the fall visit falls in November to early December. What we find at each visit follows the calendar: a film of pollen on the south-facing glass and a paste of pollen in the gutters, the leaf load that comes off the trees in autumn, and wind or storm seasons that move the dates. Fort Payne gets about 59.5 inches of rain a year, and March, April and December are the wettest months, which is when runoff off the roof is heaviest. Fort Payne also has a real freeze risk in winter, so clogged gutters left over from fall are worth clearing before the cold.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine dust that settles on the sills. On these, we will tell you after the first visit how often your lot actually needs us.
You will know windows need it when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Both are cheaper to fix on a schedule than after water damage has reached the fascia.
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 Fort Payne, and booking starts with a quote by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo, and we confirm the date when we call back. Lead time depends on the season. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before we come, and our cleaning services are scheduled around you. We clean every window we can reach from the outside, and the window cleaning services come on the same visit as the gutters. If you are comparing window cleaners, the difference we would point to is that the same professional window cleaning crew does the gutters and the glass, so there is one visit, one invoice, and one schedule to keep. Ready to book? Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the date.
Yes, here it is the same two-person crew, and the gutters and downspouts are done first and glass last so runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We give the number by phone or text from the stories and approximate size of the house, and that is the number we charge.
On our jobs the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where most of the grime is, and cleaning it does the most to remove dirt from the house.
Across Alabama, spring and fall are when customers book, and in Fort Payne most book in the spring and fall visit months.
No. We clear the roof, the gutters and every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping so runoff does not spatter the glass, and only then clean the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing.
This page is about residential properties, and the pricing here is for houses. If you have a commercial building, call us and we will say whether it is something the crew can take.
Owners of condos get the same kind of number as a house, built from the stories and the windows that are yours to clean, so send both when you call.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
