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 an approximate window count, and both jobs together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Alabama, our crews have found that spring and fall are the two times the glass and the gutters both need attention, which is why most homeowners book the pair on that 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 each job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window washing and gutter cleaning are quoted as one job. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows the house has, and we will quote it from those.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked takes more time and more equipment. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleared in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear. Gutters that overflow send runoff down the siding and onto the glass below, which adds a pass at the windows. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated to reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it. Scrubbing a sill to remove dirt that has baked on takes longer than a light wipe. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the same goes for the washing services on the glass.
Here is how we get to the exact number for a Northport house. Tell us the stories, give us a count of the windows on the outside, and text us a photo of the front of the house. For a house with a lot of glass, one picture of each face makes the estimate faster and more accurate. Condos get the same quote, counted from the outside of the building. Most of the time, that is all we need before the number is set. Call (866) 435-6328 with those details and we will set the number.
| 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 regular cleanings of both gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the pair. We keep the same spring and fall schedule for residential and commercial accounts. On our jobs, the spring visit is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load before it can rot in the runs and settle into the downspouts.
Each visit tells us something about the house. The film on the glass shows up as a yellow haze you can see when the sun is low, and the paste in the gutters shows up as a thick green seam at every elbow. Our cleaning solutions are rinsed off the glass before the crew leaves, so nothing has a film to build on. Storms and wind seasons move the dates, so a house that took a hard blow gets its check sooner than the calendar says. The leaf load tends to arrive in a wave, and a house that skipped the fall visit is the one we find sagging runs in winter.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so on the first job. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grime faster than the average. Houses with large picture windows get the third visit more often, since one missed streak on a big pane shows from the street. Those are the houses where we set a third visit on the calendar from the start.
Two signs tell you the windows need a visit: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and spotting that returns after rain. Two signs tell you the gutters need one: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain, and a run that looks clean from the ground but still overflows. We check every window on the outside during the visit, so a single pane that needs attention gets flagged. Either sign is a reason to call us and not to wait for the calendar.
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 crews clean residential properties across Northport. To schedule service, we book the estimate the same way every time: a call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, and we give you the actual date on the phone rather than a promise we cannot keep. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect the truck.
Our crew works with the window cleaning services most homes need in one visit: the outside of the windows, the gutters and the downspouts, all done from the outside of the house. We clean the glass with water-fed poles, which means most of the work happens without a ladder against the siding. The same poles handle the upper floors of multi-story buildings, though a third story takes more time. We also keep the work clean from start to finish, so that the house looks cared for and the curb appeal you bought stays where it is. Clean windows and clear gutters are what the neighbors notice first, and both come out of the same visit. We are a team of window cleaners who offer professional window cleaning on the outside of the house, not the inside, so that is the one thing to keep in mind when you book.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring months and the fall leaf months, and our calendar fills fastest then. Book early in those windows if you want a set date. Outside of those windows the slots open up more quickly. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, so the estimate covers the exterior glass, the gutters and the downspouts only. If we find clogged gutters causing water damage to the fascia or the siding, we photograph it and tell you, rather than selling a repair.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back across clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the exact figure.
On residential windows here, the outside takes the tree dust, the rain grit and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where clean windows start to lose their shine first. Cleaning the inside on its own does not stop any of that.
Most of our Northport customers book in the spring and fall, which lines the visit up with the pollen and leaf seasons. Across Alabama the same spring and fall pattern holds, so that is the window to plan around.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutter runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to drip before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the exterior cleaning on the visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, not interior and exterior glass together. We do not clean the inside of the windows, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job. Call (866) 435-6328 if you need the interior done and we will point you in the right direction.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
