Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across Alabama, most of our customers book the work for the spring and fall, when the leaves and the dust are heaviest. Give us your story count and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you what the visit looks like.
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.
Window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing on the invoice later.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that runs high with oversized panes, gutters nobody has cleared in years, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be reached. Glass that has baked on for a season takes longer, because the crew has to remove dirt before the rinse can do its job. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another: no cleaning removes it, and we will say so on the estimate. Owners of condos with a third story or a steep roof get the same pricing as a single-family house, by stories and window count. Gutters and downspouts are part of the same quote, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services, not extras.
Across Alabama, the number for our window cleaning services is set by what the crew can see from the drive, so the fastest way to get it right is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the story count. Dirt caked on the glass, runoff tracks down the siding and gutters that sag from years of grime all show up in the photo. Our Sylacauga crew reads those details the same way on every house, and the figure comes back to you the same day.
| 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.
Across Alabama, most of our customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and again in fall. Many residential and commercial clients set up regular cleanings on that same schedule, so one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
Across Alabama, our spring visits land in mid to late April, when the pollen is at its worst, and we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters and the downspout elbows. Our fall visits run late October to November, and the leaf load is the problem then, a wet mat that holds water against the fascia and sags the runs. Across Alabama, Gulf hurricanes and tropical remnants move the dates, with Mobile Bay taking direct landfalls, so we call before we come.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a lot near a busy road or construction need a third visit. Picture windows show every streak, so we check them twice before the crew leaves. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and that is the sign the glass needs a different treatment than standard cleaning solutions.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze on the interior and exterior glass that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets 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.
Our window cleaners work the city and cover the neighborhoods where the houses are close to the road and the trees are heavy over the roof. Our cleaning services also reach the multi-story buildings on the same routes. Booking runs through a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with your story count and a photo of the house front. We give a lead time on the call, and when our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the wait gets longer, so the sooner you ask the better.
We are a professional window cleaning and gutter service, and the crew brings its own water and equipment, so nothing is needed from the house. The windows inside stay as they are, since we work only on the outside glass. Nobody has to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when we are on the way, and we tell you what we can and cannot reach before we start.
The houses we see most often with clogged gutters and water damage are the ones nobody has opened since the last storm, and clear gutters and clean glass do a lot for curb appeal once the work is done.
Yes. Our crew handles the window and gutter cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof does not run down onto clean windows. The same two people handle the gutters, the downspouts and the outside of the windows.
The number comes from the story count and the size of the house. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will tell you the price for the visit.
On a residential window in Sylacauga, the outside carries most of the grime: dust and tree residue in spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots year round. Those are the marks that stay on every window no matter how clean the inside is.
Most residential properties we visit here book in spring and again in fall. Those are the two windows when the dust and the leaves build up enough to matter, and the calendar fills quickly.
Not if the gutters go first. When we clear a run, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the roof and gutters are done before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and the sill is wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of the window and gutter work.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
