Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Selma jobs, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs take more time on the ladder, and the window count and any oversized panes change how long the glass takes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and we will tell you on the visit if it is there. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a typical Selma house, the job might have two stories, a full row of picture windows across the front, and a gutter run that has not been opened in years. Clearing the packed runs and flushing the downspouts takes most of the time on the ladder, and the glass is a shorter job than the gutters. Our crew sends photos of each run before we leave so you can see what was found. Between the film on the glass and the sill grime from runoff, the window and gutter cleaning on that house went smoothly once the gutters were clear. To get your exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from those. Cleaning solutions and the water we use are part of the same job, not an extra line on the invoice.
Residential and commercial buildings both get quoted the same way, by stories, size and what is in the gutters. Interior and exterior cleaning are different jobs, and the quote covers the outside only. For regular cleanings, most customers book on a set schedule so the cost stays predictable from one visit to the next. If you want the full bundle, ask for a written estimate and we will break down the window count and the gutter work so you can compare it to what you are paying now.
| 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.
On our Selma jobs, most of our customers book both 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 usually lands in mid to late April, when the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packs into the gutters. Professional window cleaning is timed to that visit so the glass goes in clean before the film sets. In fall the leaf load comes down, and visits usually land in late November to December. Selma's wettest months are February, March and December, so the wet mat sits in the runs through winter. Across Alabama, Gulf storms and tropical remnants can move those dates, and we will call you before we come to set the date for your cleaning services.
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 all leave more grime behind between visits. The spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually mineral from the sprinkler line, and no cleaning removes them, so a third visit will not help with those. Between visits, clogged gutters under trees can also cause water damage at the fascia if they back up in a heavy rain. The ladder work on multi-story buildings takes longer, so those visits run longer.
You can tell the glass needs cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Those are the two signs we look for on the phone when someone asks whether they need a visit sooner than the calendar says. Glass on the windows inside the house is not part of this visit, so a haze there is a separate job. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people 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 have worked across Selma on window and gutter cleaning, and the booking runs the same way on every street. Start with an estimate by phone or text, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We will tell you the lead time when you call, and we call before we come, so nobody arrives unannounced. Two busy windows fill our calendar each year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months keeps your slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew works from the outside of the house.
Residential properties and commercial buildings both get the same careful approach from the crew, and we will tell you in the estimate what the visit covers. Every residential window on the outside of the house is cleaned from the same setup as the gutters when we can reach it, and the sill and frame come with it, so you get clean windows top to bottom. If a pane sits above a roof we cannot safely reach, the crew notes it on the visit rather than guessing. For a clear answer on what the visit covers and when we can come, ask us to schedule service at (866) 435-6328, and we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes, our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people on the same visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the gutter runoff off the windows we just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos are quoted the same way. Call or text (866) 435-6328 with a photo of the front of the house and we will quote the bundle from that.
The outside of a Selma window picks up film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those sit on the glass whether the inside is clean or not. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal visit that will remove dirt from the panes, and it is often done on the same trip as the gutters.
Most of our customers here book in spring and again in fall. Spring catches the pollen season and fall catches the leaf drop, and booking early in those months keeps your slot.
Not if the gutters go first and the glass goes last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the glass work when we can reach them from the outside.
No, we clean the outside of the glass only on this visit, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing. Ask us for a written estimate if you want those looked at separately.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. 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.
