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 nothing from the gutters lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of our customers book this work in spring and fall, and we keep the same calendar for every house we service. Call (866) 435-6328 to book your visit.
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 on the phone is the number we charge. We price by stories and by the approximate window count, and doing gutters and exterior glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing starts at a price set for each story count, and the final figure is set once we know the size of the house and the glass on it. Window cleaning services are quoted per house, using the stories and the approximate window count together.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a lot of picture windows add time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years come out packed with grit and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem: cleaning removes the grime on top, but not the mineral etched underneath, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and we remove dirt from the frames as we go, not as an extra. Water running off a clogged run also tells us where the job starts, so we look at the runoff from the ground before we quote.
Here is what we have seen across Alabama: the houses that cost the most to do right are the ones where the crew has to work around heavy tree cover and sprinkler overspray together. The fastest way to get an exact number is to send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a firm figure before any work is booked. Condos get the same quote, by stories and the window count on the outside of the unit. Nothing is added after the crew arrives.
| 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 book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, and that schedule is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the house. In the spring we find pollen filming the south-facing glass and a paste of it packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat. A heavy pollen season pushes the spring visit earlier, and a windy fall pushes the leaf drop later.
A third visit makes sense in a few cases we see often. 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 we clean. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film on the glass than a quiet street does, and the same is true of a residential and commercial building on that road. Any of those and we will suggest a third visit with the reasons written down.
The first thing you see on the glass in April is the film, and it is also what clogs the gutter elbows first. On a house with clean windows and clear gutters, the job is simple. Cleaning solutions are only part of the work; what matters is getting the runs clear enough that the water leaves the house. Haze builds on the outside of the glass first, and this visit covers the exterior of the house, so the interior and exterior glass are handled as two different jobs. You will notice the haze on the glass first, usually when the sun is low in the afternoon. You will notice the gutters when water sheets over the edge during rain. Either sign means it is time for a visit, and our regular cleanings are scheduled so you do not have to remember the calendar yourself.
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 run our crews across Rainbow City and the surrounding Alabama area, and we book a visit by phone or text once we have the stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the stories and a photo. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so booking early in spring and fall keeps your preferred date. Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work; we do not come inside. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed on the call.
Our cleaning and washing services cover residential homes with one or more stories and the exterior glass on them. Our window cleaners work from the outside with purified water on every reachable pane, and the frames and sills are wiped down as part of the job. Our window cleaning services stop at the exterior glass, so the windows inside stay as they are. The crew uses professional window cleaning methods on each house, so the glass dries without streaks. Curb appeal from the street is one of the reasons homeowners book the job, and the gutters are the part of the house most people do not see until water starts spilling over them.
We also clean the gutters on houses where clogged gutters have started to pull away from the fascia, though we do not repair or replace them. If a run shows signs of water damage at the fascia or the soffit, the crew photographs it and includes the photo in the report. Houses with multi-story buildings need a boom or scissor lift on some sides, and we schedule that in advance so the crew arrives with the right equipment.
Yes. The same two-person crew does the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit on residential properties, and they work gutters first, glass last. That order keeps the debris from the gutters off the windows we have just cleaned.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the stories and the size of the house. We count every window you can reach from the outside, so send us the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the full job before anything is booked.
On a residential window in Rainbow City, the outside is where the rain dust and sprinkler spotting collect. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the glass, so the outside is the part that changes how the windows look.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Booking early in either season keeps your preferred date, and we confirm the timing when you call.
Not when we do it our way. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall drip before we touch the glass, so nothing from the gutters comes down onto panes we have already cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks get wiped where they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
