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 nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our Meridianville customers most often book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest 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.
Professional window cleaning and gutter clearing are priced together, by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking window cleaners for the glass and a separate gutter crew means two trips, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Those are the two inputs we need, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us check them before we ever quote window washing.
On the day, a few things move the quote. Multi-story buildings take more time on the ladder and more setup, so a third story or a roof too steep to walk adds to the number. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, the oversized panes, which need more care to clear without streaks. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is the last thing that moves a quote, and cleaning will not remove it. 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 visit, so windows inside do not change the quote.
On our Meridianville jobs, the quotes that climb the most are the houses with heavy tree cover, where needles and grit pack the elbows between visits, and the ones where the glass has not been cleaned in a long time. Both show up in the number, and we would rather tell you about them on the phone than surprise you on the invoice. Text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we can give you an exact figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Clogged gutters and water damage from overflow are the usual reasons we get called back out, so it is worth clearing both at the same visit. A clean roofline and clear glass do a lot for curb appeal, and both come out of the same visit.
| 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.
The schedule most houses here settle into is two cleanings a year, one in spring and one in fall. Across Alabama the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and in Meridianville the fall visit usually lands in November to early December. Our cleaning services cover gutters and windows in the same visit, so one crew handles both. Regular cleanings keep the gutters clear, and that is what prevents the overflow we get called back for. At each visit we look at the same things on the house. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. In the fall the leaf load is what we find, a wet mat that backs water up under the shingles.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Heavy tree cover over the roof of a residential property is the most common reason. Meridianville gets about 58 inches of rain a year, and January, March and December are the wettest months, so gutters take the most water then. A sprinkler line hitting a residential window is the next reason, and those are the spots that come back a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or ongoing construction also collects more grime between visits, so it gets scheduled sooner. Our crew checks the glass for every window on the house, including the sill on each one, and notes anything that needs a second look.
Two signs tell you it is time without a calendar. Clean windows look right in daylight, and a haze that shows only when the sun is low means the glass is due. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. Freeze risk is real here, so a run that backs up in winter can ice over at the eave, and that is a reason to call sooner. If you see any of these, call us to schedule service and we will give you a date.
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 has worked across Meridianville, and we treat the whole city as one service area for our washing services, which cover both gutter cleaning and window cleaning services. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and that is enough to give you a quote. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest during the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those windows helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles residential properties and small multi-unit buildings, and the same crew cleans the gutters and downspouts before it touches the glass, so runoff from the roof never reaches a clean window. Condos and townhomes get the same visit order. We clear the roof, flush every downspout, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass. That order is how we remove dirt without moving it onto the next window, and it is the reason we keep both jobs on one calendar entry.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first so nothing runs back onto the glass.
We do not quote a number here. The price comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you can get the exact figure by phone or text.
On our Meridianville jobs, the outside is where the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect, so the outside is the part that needs the work most often. Picture windows collect the same film, and their size makes the streaks easier to see.
Our crew handles residential properties and small multi-unit buildings, so ask us first about anything beyond that. Our customers here most often book in the spring and fall, and we say when from the house once we see it.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout before anyone touches the glass, and the wall drips off before the first pane is cleaned.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the visit, and if you want to know which cleaning solutions reach your glass, ask when you book. None of it is billed as an extra.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean interior windows, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off 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 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
