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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of our customers book spring and fall, which is when the glass and the gutters need it most.
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 window washing 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 you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from those two things plus what we find when we get there.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted by the story. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds glass to every visit. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the work. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing a cleaning does not remove, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so they never appear on the quote.
On our Russellville jobs, the houses that run the most time are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof and the ones where nobody has cleaned the gutters in a long stretch. Those are where the professional window cleaning and the gutter work take the longest, and where a bundled visit saves you the second trip. The clogged gutters that overflow the most are the ones that sit under the heaviest canopy, and water damage shows up first at the fascia and the window sills below them. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, which is a fair reason to book both in one visit. To get the exact number, text us the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328, and tell us how many stories it is and about how many windows you have. We will come back with a firm quote.

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 both twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Cleaning services for a house are timed around those two seasons. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packs into the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs through the winter.
At each visit we look for the same things. The grime on every window and the grit in the elbows. The leaf load in the gutters and at the downspout outlets. Storm and wind seasons that move the dates, since a hard blow in the fall can drop a season's worth of leaves in a week. Most homes need only these two visits.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A residential window that faces a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest. For those, we suggest you schedule service on a shorter cycle so the glass and gutters don't build up.
You will know windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, or when dust builds up on the sill. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Russellville, and the window cleaning services come bundled with the gutter work. We work with residential properties, single houses and the occasional small building. Booking starts with a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will give you a time window and call before we come, so you are not waiting on us.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our washing services run from outside, and our crew does not come inside. The busy stretch of the year is the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when the calendar fills and the runs and glass build up fastest. Book early in those windows to keep your slot.
Most jobs are straightforward: the gutters and downspouts get the leaves, grime and runoff out, we remove dirt from the glass, and the sill and frame are wiped. Townhouses and condos come up a lot with the same questions about shared gutters and downspouts, and we answer them on the call before we schedule anything.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit. We clean gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the runs does not land on clean windows. Ask about residential and commercial jobs on the call, since we build the quote from the same stories and window count either way.
The number comes from the stories and the window count on your house. Oversized panes, including picture windows, add time to every visit, so tell us about those too. Text us a photo of the front and tell us how many windows you have, and we will quote it by text or phone.
On our Russellville jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen in the spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots year round. The inside can be fine while the outside is hazy, so it is worth doing the outside on its own schedule. Regular cleanings keep the film from building, though ordinary cleaning solutions will not lift sprinkler spots.
Most of our customers here book their cleanings in the spring, once the spring dust settles, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. Regular cleanings in those two windows are the busiest on our calendar.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. None of those are billed as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate work, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
