Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, the two seasons when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge for professional window cleaning and gutter work, and it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Booking gutters and window washing in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because one crew sets up once and works both sides of the house. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, a few things push a quote up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Gutters nobody has opened in years take longer to clear, and so do clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves that have sat for a season. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Oversized panes and multi-story buildings take the crew longer per window. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by cleaning, it hurts curb appeal, and it is flagged on the visit.
Here is how we get to the exact number. Tell us the stories, the approximate window count, and text us a photo of the front of the house. A single photo of the roofline and the glass is enough for most homes. We will confirm the price before anyone climbs up, and water damage we spot from the ground is noted in the report, never sold to you as an extra. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo, and ask for a written estimate before you book a date.

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 both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Pollen film settles on south-facing glass and paste packs into the gutters, and the leaf load from the fall drop builds up quickly after that.
Across Alabama, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and our Jacksonville calendar follows the same window. By then the residential window frames and the sill ledges hold a film that rinses off clean only with the right water. The fall visit is late October to November, after the last leaves drop and before the first hard freeze. Our crew works through the residential properties on each street and tries to keep both visits on a steady schedule so you know when to schedule service.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road picks up more dirt than the average lot. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit instead of the usual cleanings, and we say so after we look at the house. Our goal is to keep regular cleanings on the schedule that suits the lot, so clean windows and clear gutters are the norm, and to make sure every window is checked on each visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in the rain, which means the run needs clearing before the next storm.
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 cleans gutters and windows for residential and commercial customers across Jacksonville, and we work the city street by street. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will return a quote. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house. We also handle some washing services for small businesses and condos on the same visit, though commercial buildings are their own job. Our window cleaning services reach the outside glass on every floor we can safely reach, and the grime that builds up on the frames gets wiped off with the glass. We also clear the gutters and downspouts and check the ground for runoff that could cause a problem later, and we remove dirt from every surface we touch.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
The price comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you the exact figure by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs in Jacksonville, the outside carries most of the <a href="#">pollen</a> and rain dust, plus sprinkler spots, and that film shows first on picture windows. Cleaning the outside keeps the view through the glass in good shape, even when the inside has not been touched.
Most of our Jacksonville customers book in the spring visit in mid to late April and the fall visit in late October to November. Those are the times we see the most pollen and leaves on the house.
No, because the gutters are cleared first and the glass is done last. Once the roof is blown clear, the runs are cleared, and the downspouts are flushed, the wall is given a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks that are packed with grime are included in the visit, and we do not bill them as extras.
Our visit covers the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and the interior and exterior of a home are not both done in one visit. We do not do pressure washing of siding or decks. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions go on it.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
