Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing running off the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Alabama, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, once the seed and leaf drop is done.
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. Bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter work on separate days, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We can quote that from the front of the house alone, so a text with a photo is enough to start.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized panes, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years 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, along with grime on the lower panes that a rinse leaves behind. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a city page like this one, the clearest way to see it is a recent job. We cleaned a two-story house on a lot with a few large trees, and the quote moved up because of the canopy: the gutters held a mat of seeds and grit, and the back run had to be cleared from a lift. Had the same house been single-story with no overhang, the visit would have been shorter and the number lower. Give us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we can say whether your house looks like that job or a simpler one. Our crew also clears the stains that come up with heavy runoff across the glass, and we remove dirt that a single rinse leaves behind on the sills. Window cleaning services like these, and the washing services that go with them, are priced by the same two numbers, stories and windows, so the estimate on the phone stays the number on the invoice. A duplex or one unit in a row of condos is priced by its own stories and windows, not by the whole building. Ask for a written estimate if you want the breakdown before we book.
| 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 customers in Gulf Shores book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, so one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring, after the peak of the season, we find a pollen film on south-facing glass, most of all on picture windows where nothing breaks it up, and pollen paste packed in the gutters. Some film also needs cleaning solutions, not just a rinse, so the crew decides what the glass needs after the first look. In fall, the leaf load is what fills the runs and sits wet on the roof edge. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates by a few weeks, so the calendar follows the weather rather than the month.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, which is a water problem and not a dirt problem. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grit faster than most. Our crew also books these houses for regular cleanings, because they lose their clean windows quickly if they go too long. The spring and fall visits are the baseline; the extra visit is what your lot tells us it needs.
A pair of customers on our Gulf Shores list shows the range. One books twice a year with no trees over the roof. The other is on three or four visits a year under heavy canopy and sprinkler spotting. Both are the same crew doing the same work, and the schedule is set by what each house collects. You will know the sign for windows when the haze shows up only when the sun is low, and the sign for gutters when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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 cleaning services for the outside of homes across Gulf Shores and the surrounding area, and booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the visit window with you before we come. Our lead time is posted on the scheduling line, so ask when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Residential and commercial work is quoted separately, so this page only describes residential properties.
The busy windows are the two seasons when the seed and leaf drop arrive, and our calendar fills fastest then. Book early if you want a specific date. We do not promise same-day or next-day service, because the schedule depends on the crew and the weather. For professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings or a house with clogged gutters, we plan the lifts and the ladders in advance, so the visit runs in one pass. Our window cleaners work the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing. A slow gutter run that is left alone can lead to water damage at the fascia, which is why we would rather see the house once before a problem starts than after. Clean gutters and glass also do more for curb appeal than a rinse from the driveway ever will.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and the outside of every window in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we give you the number before we book.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from the outside first. Cleaning the inside does not reach any of that.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Across Alabama that is the usual pattern, and our calendar fills in those windows.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the runoff is finished before any window is touched. That keeps clean windows clean through the visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on exterior glass. Nothing on the list is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. Interior windows and pressure washing are not part of this service.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
