Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Oregon, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, and that is the rhythm we work to here as well.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The window and gutter quote is built from those two numbers, and it covers residential and commercial properties of the size described here, with anything larger quoted separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, once we have the stories and a photo of the front of the house.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how long the job takes. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning solutions or water alone, and we will tell you so before we start. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Oregon, we see the same pattern: the houses that cost more are the ones with the most height and the most glass, not the ones with the most character. Here in Cedar Mill, the most useful thing you can do is send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your stories and rough window count, so we can give you the exact number before we come out. Seasonal buildup is part of the picture too, which is why two cleanings a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, is what most of our customers settle on. If you want us to cover interior and exterior glass, that is a different job and we will say so on the phone.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and ask for a written estimate before any work is booked. We will confirm the number in writing so there is nothing to argue about on the invoice.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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.
Most of our customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense across the calendar. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep buildup from setting, and professional window cleaning keeps the glass ready for each season. Across Oregon the pattern holds, and the dates move with the weather from year to year.
In the spring, what we find on the glass is pollen film on south-facing panes and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is the thing to watch, and wind or storm seasons can push the dates a few weeks either way. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass so the spots come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction all tend to need one more pass in the year. Multi-story buildings with clogged gutters are where water damage along the fascia tends to start, so those runs get checked first on the visit.
We do not give you a fixed schedule on the phone. After the first visit we tell you which of those your house actually needs, and we note the condition of the gutters and the glass on the invoice so you can compare from one visit to the next. Window cleaners who only do the glass will not see what is happening in the gutters above it, which is one reason our cleaning services keep both on the same visit.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze costs curb appeal long before anyone mentions it. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which one you have, and whether it is worth booking a date.
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 and gutter cleaning crew works the residential properties in Cedar Mill, from the older houses with long gutter runs to the newer ones with large picture windows. We have cleaned in several neighborhoods across the city, and when you call we will tell you whether we have worked your street before. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the house front.
Lead time depends on the season. The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, and in those weeks our calendar fills faster than the rest of the year. If you want a date in those weeks, book early, and we will hold it once the estimate is confirmed. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are not waiting at the door for a truck that might show up at any hour.
We would rather schedule service for a date that works for you than rush a job to fit a slot. If you need clean windows before a particular event, tell us the date and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same treatment. A residential window in a bedroom and a picture window in the front room get the same treatment too, and the sill gets wiped with the rest of the frame.
Our window cleaning services and our gutter work are done by the same two people in the same visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff from the roof does not end up on the windows we just finished.
We do not give a figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text once we know those. If your unit is one of several condos in a building, check with the association before booking, since the gutters and outside glass may not be yours to schedule. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the number before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dirties a window here: grit in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the lower panes. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside, and a film of grime there shows up first when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the spring rush, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across Oregon the timing is the same, and the exact weeks shift with the weather. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a date on the calendar.
Not if the gutters are done first. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below it, so we clear the gutters, flush every downspout, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the glass work when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not offer pressure washing services, so you will not need to move furniture or clear shelves inside the house.
No, 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
