Yes, 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 both in the spring and again in the fall, and that is the rhythm we plan around.
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 stories and approximate window count. The bundle, both jobs in one visit, costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove are what drive a quote up on our jobs. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, with the cleaning solutions included, and none of it is billed as an extra.
On the day the professional window cleaning crew looks at the house front, counts the stories, walks the back run and checks how the downspouts drain. If a window faces a sprinkler line, we note the spotting and any water damage around the frame, and tell you what a mineral treatment would cost before anyone starts. If a gutter guard has to come off to reach the run, we say so up front. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and the number on the phone covers the exterior. Getting an exact number takes a few minutes: the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text is usually enough for us to quote over the phone.
Window and gutter cleaning can be booked as one visit, and the pricing logic is the same for residential and commercial buildings. Picture windows and wide storefront glass take longer per pane, so we ask about them early. Regular cleanings on a schedule keep the job simple from one visit to the next, because the crew already knows the house. On multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, we talk through the window and gutter schedule with whoever manages the property before we set the first date.
| 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 Spanish Fort jobs most customers book gutter and exterior window cleaning services twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Alabama the pattern is the same: the spring visit lands in mid to late April, after the trees have shed their spring dust, and the fall visit lands in late November to December, after the leaves are off the trees and before the first hard freeze.
What we find in April is a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters and the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit the clogged gutters have sagged under the weight by the next winter, sending runoff over the edge and down the siding. Across Alabama, Gulf hurricanes and tropical remnants, with Mobile Bay taking direct landfalls, can move both dates, and after a big storm we are often out on the first clear week to clear what the wind pushed into the runs.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, with needles and grit packing the downspouts between visits, is the most common reason. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because the spots come back a day after cleaning, and that is a water problem rather than a dirt problem. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and gutters, and those we also put on a shorter cycle. The tell for windows is a haze you only notice when the sun is low; the tell for gutters is water sheeting over the edge in the rain.
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 residential properties across Spanish Fort, from single-story ranches to multi-story homes, and the booking works the same for each. You call or text, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number before any date goes on the calendar. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo. Lead time depends on the season, and we give you the current window when you call rather than promising a day we cannot hold. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without coming in.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills first. Booking early in those windows gets you the date you want. Outside of them there is usually room to schedule service on short notice, and we will tell you plainly if the slot you asked for is not open. Window and gutter cleaning does more for curb appeal than most people expect, because dull glass and a sagging gutter are the first things the street sees. We clean windows and gutters in one visit so that every window and every run is done before the crew packs up, and the sill and frame are part of that visit.
Yes. Our crew does both, gutters and downspouts included, and it is the same two people on the ladder for the gutters and the glass. Gutters come first, so the wall is dry before the windows are washed.
There is no fixed figure for these washing services, because the number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number before any date is set.
On our jobs in Spanish Fort the outside carries most of the grime that dulls the glass: spring tree dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the outer pane. The inside can look fine while the outside looks hazy in low sun.
Across Alabama, most of our customers book in the spring, around mid to late April, and again in the fall, around late November to December. Booking earlier in those windows gets you the date you want.
It will if the glass is washed first, which is why we do gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and we remove dirt from the frames as well. None of them is billed as an extra. Screens are taken out and put back on request.
Not on this visit. Our professional window cleaning covers the exterior of the glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit; if you want the inside done, tell us and we will note it on the estimate.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
