Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and two jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, when pollen and falling leaves build up fastest on the house.
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 price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same each time. A third story or a steep roof means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A large window count, or big picture windows, adds time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years come down packed with leaves, needles and grit, and the grime under them takes longer than a light clean. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run is cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we tell you about it before we quote.
Our Leeds jobs show how this plays out. Tell us the stories and the window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text; that is enough for us to give an exact number. The crew arrives with purified water to remove dirt from the glass, so you do not need a hose or power on site. Once the first visit is done, the number for the next one stays the same unless the house changes. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and approximate window count. Our window washing services and window cleaning services follow the same pricing.
| 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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Spring is when pollen settles on south-facing glass as a film that needs cleaning solutions to lift, and it packs into the elbows of the downspouts as a paste. Fall is when the leaf load comes down on residential and commercial roofs alike, and the wet mat sits in the gutters through the cold months. Wind and storm seasons along the Gulf can shift these dates, so we book by the condition of the house rather than the calendar alone.
On our jobs, the houses under heavy tree cover need a third visit, because needles and grit fill the downspouts between cleanings. The same goes for a sprinkler line that hits the glass, since the spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets dust on the frames that a single visit does not clear. Those are the cases where regular cleanings beat waiting for a problem to show.
You will see when windows need cleaning: haze that you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. You will see when gutters need cleaning: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running out the downspout. If either happens between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the photos you send.
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 clean windows and gutters for homeowners and residential properties across the area, because clean glass and clear gutters are what the street sees first, which is most of the curb appeal. Our window cleaners are scheduled around the same crew each visit. To schedule service, call or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a date. The same booking works for multi-story buildings as it does for a house. Lead time depends on the time of year, and in the two busy windows of spring and fall our calendar fills first, so book early in those months. Our crew does professional window cleaning services and gutter work with the same care for each house, and the job is measured by what is on the glass and in the gutters afterward. Exterior glass is the scope of this visit; the windows inside are not part of it. We also look at roofs for clogged gutters that show early signs of water damage, and report what we find before we touch anything. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the clean panes.
To schedule service, we give you the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the exact figure before the crew is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what collects on every window: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside will not clear any of those, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks from the street.
Our customers here most often book in spring and in fall, the two times the pollen and leaf load build up. We schedule by the condition of the house, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the timing with you.
No, because we clear the gutters before we touch the glass. Runoff from a cleaned run is already gone by the time the panes are done, and the crew waits a few minutes for the wall to stop dripping first.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they can be reached from the outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and the interior and exterior glass are separate scopes. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home for exterior work on residential properties. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
