Yes, the same two people clean the 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 in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall pollen and leaf seasons, and across Alabama this is when most of our customers book.
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 our washing services 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 quote method is the same for residential and commercial work. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves that have not been cleared in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of the quote, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs.
Across Alabama, the houses that move the most are the ones where the gutters have been left through a full season of pollen and leaf load. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. If you text us a photo of the front of the house along with your story count, we can tell you the likely number before anyone comes out, and a clean roofline does a lot for curb appeal. Before you call, count the stories and walk the window line once so you know roughly how many panes there are. That is enough for us to give you an exact figure, and it is the same figure you will see on the invoice.
| 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, most of our customers book two regular cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Spring is when pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows, and fall is when the leaf load and wet mat build up. The spring visit lands in mid to late April across Alabama, and the fall visit in November to early December.
Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means more frequent visits, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters under a shaded roof fill faster than the rest of the house. For multi-story buildings and condos with several roof lines, a visit runs longer. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is a common reason for a third visit, since the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets more dust and grime on the glass as well, and these are the properties where we suggest scheduling a visit between the two regular dates.
Windows need cleaning sooner than you might think when you notice a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need it when runoff sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspouts, since that water can lead to water damage at the fascia. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which visit makes sense.
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.
Booking with us starts with an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so it helps to book early. Our crew works on residential window and gutter cleaning, and the same window cleaners cover residential properties across the area so the work stays consistent from house to house. Each visit is professional window cleaning and gutter work by the same crew, so nobody has to coordinate two companies.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house. We check every window on the list before the crew leaves, and the crew wipes the frames and sills so it can remove dirt that the glass alone would leave behind. When the jobs are done, you get a photo of the gutters and downspouts and the finished glass, so you can see the clean windows for yourself. We aim to schedule service around your availability, and if a window or downspout cannot be reached safely we say so and show you why instead of guessing.
Text a photo of the roofline and tell us how many stories it is, and we will reply with a visit date you can accept or move.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and downspouts and the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. A condo is quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the figure before you book.
Yes. The outside takes the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and washing the inside will not remove dirt from the outside of the glass, so the outside needs its own visit.
Our customers here usually book in the spring and fall visit windows, and across Alabama that is when we see the most pollen and leaf load. Professional window cleaning in spring clears the pollen film before it sets.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall drip off, and only then clean the glass, so runoff does not land on panes we have already cleaned. Gutters left to overflow for a season can also lead to water damage at the fascia, which is why we flag them.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit.
We do exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not clean inside the glass or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
