The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Clean glass helps curb appeal, and clear gutters keep water off the siding. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number before we come out.
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 give you a number before the crew comes out, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Our window cleaning services and washing services are priced by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in a single visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. The same two questions open every residential and commercial quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the number and size of picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Pollen paste in the gutters after the spring bloom is common, and it takes more time than a light leaf load. Regular cleanings keep that load down, because a run that is cleared every visit takes less time than one nobody has opened in years.
A row of picture windows across the back of a two-story house, or gutters clogged under a shade tree, are the kinds of details that add time to a quote. When we see them in the photo, we say so before the number is final, so the invoice matches the phone estimate.
To get your exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Cleaning solutions and rinse water are included, and we do not bill for ladder time separately. If you also want interior and exterior glass on the same visit, say so when you call so the number covers it. That is how we keep the price in line with what we quoted.
| 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.
Booking window cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, is the schedule that keeps one crew in one visit working well. Across Alabama, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, when a film shows on south-facing glass and winter debris is still in the gutters. In Hartselle, fall visits run November to early December, and the wet leaf mat is what sags runs under the first cold snap.
Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means the gutters need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes spots that come back a day later, and those need a closer look. A house close to a busy road or active construction gathers more dust on the outside of the windows and tends to need more frequent visits.
Professional window cleaning is only part of keeping the outside of the house in shape. Regular cleanings keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear, and they remove dirt before it builds up. They also catch small problems before they turn into water damage on the fascia. Clogged gutters overflow in the next rain, and that runoff runs down the siding and into the sill. Hartselle gets about 58.8 inches of precipitation a year, and January, February and December are the wettest months, so the gutters take their heaviest load then.
You will know windows need cleaning when a grime film shows up only in low sun. You will know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into 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 and gutter cleaning to residential properties across the Hartselle area, and residential window work covers the outside of every floor the ladder can reach. Multi-story buildings and condos get the same ladder-reach check before we quote. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. During the two busy windows of the year, our calendar fills faster. Call (866) 435-6328 before the truck rolls, and we will confirm the arrival window.
Our crew works outside, clears gutters and downspouts, and does not come inside. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass go out before they leave. If you want to schedule service, give us your preferred dates and we will hold a slot. We clean windows on the outside, and sills, tracks and every window on the outside get the same attention, so the clean windows look matches across the house.
Yes. Our window cleaners handle gutters and downspouts in the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so runoff from the gutter never reaches the clean glass.
We quote our window cleaning services and washing services by phone or text, from the number of stories and approximate window count. We do not give a figure without those details.
Usually yes, because grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside. Windows inside being clean does not help with that, since the dirt sits on the outside of the glass.
Across Alabama, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, and fall visits in Hartselle run November to early December. Spring is for the pollen, and fall is for the leaves.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the gutters and downspouts, give the wall a few minutes to drain, and only then clean the windows. That order keeps the dirt off the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the outside of the windows.
Our standard visit covers the outside only, so windows inside stay as they are. Interior and exterior glass are not on the same visit, and we do not pressure wash siding here.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and window count, and we will say whether the crew can quote a condo or a mixed residential and commercial building.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
