Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Montgomery customers book it in the spring and fall, so the calendar fills up before the leaves peak.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the same quote logic applies to residential and commercial buildings. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the quote moves for a few reasons we can see from the ground and confirm on the roof. Steep roofs and multi-story buildings mean more time on the boom or scissor lift. A large number of residential window panes, including oversized picture windows, takes longer than a standard set. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing before anything flows. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated to reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and the cleaning solutions we use on the pane do not remove it, so we flag it on the visit and quote a separate treatment.
Our Montgomery jobs follow the same pattern. On one recent house, the window count and the gutter run behind a covered porch set the price, and the crew explained the split before starting. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has. The regular cleanings we do after the first visit are priced the same way, so the second visit costs no more than the first one did for the same house. Window washing, washing services and window cleaning services all run on the same calendar and the same quote, so you are not paying extra to combine them. Grime on the outside of the glass is the thing we are there for, and the interior and exterior question only comes up if you ask, which is covered in the FAQ.
| 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 Montgomery customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The window and gutter work tracks the same seasons, so the two jobs share a visit.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In fall, the leaf load comes down in wet mats, and clogged gutters overflow over the fascia in the first heavy rain. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we adjust the booking to match.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and the cleaning solutions on a regular pass will not lift them. A downspout that backs water up under the eave is how water damage starts on the trim, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest.
One of our Montgomery customers has been on twice a year since the first visit, with no trees over the roof and a clear view of the sky. Another has us out three or four times a year because the sprinkler line hits the windows and the lot sits under heavy tree cover. The second household needed the extra visits, and their window count and gutter run are why.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Both signs mean it is time to book.
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 cleaned gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Montgomery, and we book the same way for every neighborhood. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the quote before anything is scheduled. Most estimates come back within a day, and the time to a first visit depends on the season. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the leaves come down, and our calendar fills then, so book early if you can.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so the only thing you need to do is leave the side gate unlocked. For commercial work we also serve business properties, multi-story buildings included, and we keep the same professional window cleaning standard for each one. Curb appeal depends on clean glass and clear gutters, so we can schedule service on the same visit, and every window and every run is done in one trip, with gutters and downspouts cleared before the glass. Each residential window gets the outside pass. We are one of the window cleaners who will also handle the sill and the frame on the same visit, so nothing is left half done.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty water from the runs is not running down clean panes.
We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text, for houses and condos alike. The number we give is the number we charge, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate trips.
Yes, for a residential window the outside is where the dirt builds up. In Montgomery, that means the road dust and the sprinkler spots that rain does not wash off, and it is what our crew is there to remove dirt from. The inside can stay as it is.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, after the leaves come down. Across Alabama, late spring and late fall are the windows most people pick, so ask for a date early.
No, gutters go first and glass goes last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frame is cleaned as part of the exterior job, so they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the outside of the glass, so the windows inside the house are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing as part of gutter and window cleaning.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
