Yes, 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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our jobs across Alabama, spring and fall are when most customers book the two together, so the crew comes back to the same houses on the same schedule.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows as two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that holds whether we quote it by phone or by text from a photo of the front of the house.
Four things move the quote on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last one, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it before we quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house. On our Millbrook jobs the quote usually changes when we see the back run or a window over a porch roof, so we tell you that before the crew is booked. Our crew handles window washing, washing services and window cleaning services as one visit, and the grime on exterior glass after a season of spring dust is usually what moves the time more than the glass itself. Ask for the cleanings you want in one visit and we will tell you how many regular cleanings the house needs, not how many it could take. A standard residential window is quick to wipe, but picture windows take longer than standard panes, and we say so on the quote. Interior and exterior glass is not on this visit, and exterior only is the scope we price.
| 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.
Most of our customers here book the window and gutter visit twice a year, and across Alabama the spring and fall windows are the two that hold. Spring is the pollen season, when we find a film on south-facing glass and paste packed in the gutters. Fall is the leaf load, and it comes off the trees and into the runs before the first hard freeze.
On the glass in April we see pollen film on south-facing panes and a yellow dust line along the sills. Tree debris in the gutters goes to a paste at the downspout elbow, and that is where the water backs up in the next rain. Storm and wind seasons move the dates in both directions, so the calendar follows the weather and not the other way around. Cleaning solutions for the glass are chosen for the spring film, and we use purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and that is how clogged gutters start. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later, and that is a water-quality problem a cleaning alone will not fix. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster, and so does a house with a long driveway that runs off a graded lot. We see these cases on our jobs and we tell you which of them your lot matches on the first visit.
Windows need cleaning when you see haze you only notice with the sun low in the sky. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and that overflow is where water damage starts at the fascia. Those two signs are the reason a visit can be booked before the calendar says so. The windows inside the house are a separate job and are not on this 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.
Our crew works through Millbrook and books the visit by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves, so you see the work on your phone the same day. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings are set on the phone, not from this page.
Because the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, booking early helps. When the fall or spring slots are open we can usually give you a date within the week, and the lead time depends on the season and the size of the house. Multi-story buildings need more ladder time, so their lead time runs longer. We will tell you the lead time when you call so the date is set and written down.
We work as cleaning services for homeowners, and we keep a short list of window cleaners who take regular cleanings. Professional window cleaning on your house means the same crew does the gutters and the glass, so the work matches from one run to the next. Curb appeal starts at the gutter line and the sill, and that is where we start on the ground.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and the window count. We will confirm the date, the arrival window and the price in writing before the visit, and we will schedule service around the weather so the glass is dry and the ground is firm. Every window on the outside of the house gets done, and the crew will remove dirt from the sill with each pane.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same ladder in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the water from the runs does not land on clean panes.
We do not quote a figure over the page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front and the approximate window count to get it. Condos are quoted by stories and window count, the same as a house.
Yes. The outside of a residential window in Millbrook carries the spring film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and cleaning the inside does not remove any of that. Interior glass is not on this visit, so the outside is the part we do.
Our customers here book in spring and fall. Across Alabama the spring visit lands in mid to late April, after the spring dust has built up, and the fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves drop.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside of the house, and they are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
No, 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
