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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of the homes we service book it in the spring and again in the fall, and the calendar fills fast at the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop. Call (866) 435-6328 to 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Some window cleaners quote per pane, but professional window cleaning on this house is priced for the whole job, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Once we know the stories and roughly how many windows face the outside, we can give you a firm figure by phone or text, and the window washing on the outside of the glass is included in it.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a larger count of windows or oversized panes, multi-story buildings that need more ladder setup, gutters that have not been opened in years or 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. 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 this quote.
Across Alabama, the houses that come to us with the biggest surprise are the ones with clogged gutters that have gone a season without attention, where water damage has already started to show on the fascia. Clear gutters and clean glass also make a real difference to curb appeal from the street. The fastest way to get an accurate number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and rough window count, and we will tell you what we see from that before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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 |

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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and regular cleanings on that schedule are the easiest habit to keep. What we find at each visit follows the seasons: the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring, and the leaf load that builds up as trees drop their cover in the fall. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and we call before we come. A residential window job booked with the gutters means we check every window on the house and wipe each sill in the same visit.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road or active construction tend to build up faster than the rest. Sprinkler spots are the ones that return a day after a cleaning, and they are the clearest sign that a third visit is worth scheduling. Small residential properties with few trees usually do fine on the twice-a-year rhythm.
You know windows need attention when the haze only shows up in low sun, and you know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain. Either sign is reason enough to schedule service, and the sooner it is on the calendar, the easier it is to fit into a visit.
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 the city of Irondale and the surrounding area, and we handle both the washing services and the window cleaning services in the same visit. A typical job starts with a quick estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the day once the crew is available. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar tends to fill in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early helps. We aim to get grime and runoff off the glass and out of the gutters before it settles in, and we do the work to remove dirt from every reachable surface, not only the parts visible from the street. Our crew also handles gutters and downspouts on condos and multi-unit residential buildings, and the same single visit covers both. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so runoff from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and the same two questions set it for a residential and commercial building alike: stories, and roughly how many windows face the outside. Send us both by phone or text and we will give you the figure before we book.
Often yes, because the outside carries the spring grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up on glass that looks fine from indoors. We clean the exterior glass and leave the inside alone on this visit.
Our customers here most often book in the spring after the bloom and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Across Alabama, that is the pattern we see, and cleanings booked before the busy windows keep your slot.
No, we do gutters first and glass last, so anything that comes off the roof and out of the gutters is rinsed away before we touch the windows. The glass is cleaned with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to dry as streaks. It is the single most important part of the order of work.
Screens are taken down, rinsed by hand and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Picture windows are cleaned from the outside with the same pole, and tracks are included in the same visit, so you do not need to ask for them as an add-on.
This visit covers the outside glass only, so we do not sell interior and exterior packages as one job. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
