Our crew does professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning on the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing washed down from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Saraland jobs most customers book it in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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.

On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, multi-story buildings that need more setup than a single-level house, a window count with oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned 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 cleaning alone will not remove. Gutters and downspouts are cleared as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are included, not billed as extras.
Cleaning solutions for the glass are chosen for the surface and to remove dirt without leaving streaks, and the crew works from the outside only on this visit. Some customers ask for interior and exterior glass in one trip. We do the exterior only, so the inside of the glass stays as it is. Each of our cleanings is priced the same way, by stories and window count. Most of our Saraland customers book regular cleanings on a set schedule, so the house gets the same routine each time, and the gutters and the window and gutter work are planned together. Before we give a number we ask how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows there are, and for a photo of the front of the house by text. For residential and commercial jobs alike, that is what gets you an exact figure rather than a guess.
Ask for a written estimate and we will put the stories, the window count and the scope on it before any work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date.

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.
On our Saraland jobs most customers book gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall after the leaves come down, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense.
Across Alabama, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late April, and in Saraland the fall visit lands in December to early January, after the leaves are down. In the spring, the pollen settles as a yellow film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load that packs the downspouts. Storm season across Alabama, when Gulf hurricanes and tropical remnants push through and Mobile Bay takes direct landfalls, moves the dates a little, so we book against what we find rather than a fixed calendar.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit, because the spots that come back a day after cleaning are a sign the water is doing the spotting. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime between visits too. Saraland gets 68.9 inches of rain a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so a gutter that backs up in those months is the one most likely to cause water damage on siding and trim. Our window cleaning services are scheduled to match what the house actually collects.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and gutters need it when runoff sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
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 do residential window and gutter cleaning across Saraland, on residential properties including condos, and the crew treats each house as its own job. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text, give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number you can count on.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Ask us to schedule service and we will confirm the day and window before the crew leaves the yard.
Every window on the outside of the house gets the same routine, including the sill and the frame, and the gutters are done before the glass so the glass is clean at the end. Clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit keep the rainwater running where it should go.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water washed off the roof does not land on clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the job, and you get it by phone or text before anything is booked.
On a Saraland house the outside collects tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where the haze builds up first. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the glass looks.
Most of our customers here book the spring visit, which across Alabama falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit after the leaves drop. Booking in those months is the most common pattern we see.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them run down the wall, so the glass is done after that is finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. Those are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside of the house.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
