Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Our crew does this work across Alabama, and in spring and fall most of our Pelham customers book both at once.
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.

Several things move the quote, and our crew sees them on the day. Multi-story buildings take longer, since a third story or a steep roof means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A high window count or oversized picture windows takes longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaf mat, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: cleaning will not remove it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions for the glass are included in the quote too.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with your stories and rough window count. We will come back with a written estimate before we book a date, and the window and gutter cleaning is quoted on the same sheet. We price residential and commercial buildings the same way, by stories and window count.
| 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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Alabama, the spring visit comes in mid to late April, when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and spring debris packs the gutters. The fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves drop and before the wet season settles in.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road tends to need a third visit. The spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning, and the grime from traffic builds faster on lower glass. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the haze from building up between visits. Those houses are the ones that stay on a shorter schedule. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only see when the sun is low. Clogged gutters sheet water over the edge in rain, and that runoff can lead to water damage at the foundation. If either happens between visits, call us and we will look at it.
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 residential window and gutter jobs across the Pelham area, and we handle residential properties and clean windows on every job the same way. Booking is simple: you give us your stories and a photo of the house front by phone or text, and we confirm the date and time with a call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The busy windows are the spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves bring in the most calls. Cleanings booked early in those months fill first, so book early to get a slot that suits you. We ask for the approximate window count up front so the quote covers every window on the house, not just the ones you can see from the street.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the photo, and we will reply with a written estimate.
Yes, our crew does both in the same visit, and our window cleaning services are one part of that. Gutters and downspouts are done first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not wash back onto clean windows.
Professional window cleaning on a two-story house is quoted from your stories and approximate window count, by phone or text. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries dust, rain spots and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. On our Pelham jobs the spring film is the first thing customers notice.
Across Alabama, most customers book in spring, mid to late April, and again in fall, November to early December. Those are the months our cleaning services see the heaviest leaf and grime load.
Not on our jobs. Gutters go first, glass last, and the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches a window. Before the glass is touched, we remove dirt from the frames and sills so it does not run down the pane.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of our washing services on the outside of the house. They are not billed as extras.
No, this visit is exterior only. Interior and exterior glass are two different jobs, so the windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked. In condos, check with the building first, because shared gutters and common areas are not ours to decide.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
