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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price 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, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is when we see the most tree debris and leaf buildup on Prattville houses.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking gutters and exterior glass together costs less than buying two separate window cleaning services. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions, purified water and the water-fed pole are part of the quote, so there is no supply line on the invoice. This quote covers the outside only, and any interior and exterior work beyond it is quoted separately.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A mineral treatment handles those spots, which is a separate job we quote after we see it.
To get an exact number, send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Tell us roughly how many windows face the street and how many are on the back. Our crew checks the count on arrival, and the figure we quoted holds unless the house is different from what you described.
Across Alabama, we see the same pattern: the houses that cost the most are the ones that have waited the longest between cleanings, because the grime and runoff build up on the glass and in the gutters at the same time. Regular cleanings keep each visit shorter and the quote lower. If your gutters are clogged, the cleaning is quicker than the one you would need after a season of water damage.
| 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 Prattville customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and storm and wind seasons move those dates a little from year to year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more residue behind. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, so those houses are the ones we see most often in our professional window cleaning schedule.
Where a home has trees over the roof, a customer may book our cleaning services every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Without trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most gutters. We tell you which schedule your lot needs after the first visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know clogged gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Both signs mean it is time to call, and clean glass with clear gutters is most of your curb appeal.
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 every residential window from the outside and the gutters on residential properties across the area, and we book them as one visit. Our estimate starts by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the time before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive. For residential and commercial buildings, call (866) 435-6328 before you book, and we will tell you whether we can reach the glass.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves and tree debris are heaviest, so book early if you want a particular week. We aim to schedule service within the lead time we give you on the phone, and that lead time is the one we keep. For a window and gutter cleaning on a house with a lot of glass, we tell you the timing before you book.
We clean every window we can reach from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift on the outside, and we clean the sill under each one. Multi-story buildings and taller houses use a boom or scissor lift to reach the upper glass safely, which we plan in advance so the visit runs on schedule.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, so you book once and deal with one set of people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the exact figure from those details.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime. Rain dust and sprinkler spots settle on the glass from the outside, and cleaning the inside does not remove dirt that sits on the outer panes. Outside cleaning keeps clean windows clear between your regular cleanings.
Most of our Prattville customers book in spring and in fall. Across Alabama, spring visits fall in mid to late April, and fall visits run from November to early December.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared first, the leaves, grit and black water stop coming down the wall and across the windows below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit unless they are heavily stained.
Exterior only on this visit. Our washing services stop at the outside glass, frames, screens and gutters, so windows inside stay as they are, and pressure washing is not part of this service.
You do not need to be home, including at condos, since exterior work does not need anyone inside. 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. Our crew sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass to your phone before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
