Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, and the gutters always come first and the glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number you pay.
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. Doing gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the cleaning solutions for the glass are included, not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones we see when we arrive: a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, large picture windows that take longer per pane, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. We will tell you about the spotting on the phone so there is no surprise when the crew arrives.
To get an exact number for a Hermiston house, text a photo of the front of the house, the number of stories and a rough count of windows, and we will come back with the figure. If the building is a mix of residential and commercial space, say so in the text, and we will quote from the stories and window count. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of these washing services, so they do not enter the quote, and a request for interior and exterior cleaning gets its own price. Our crew works the window and gutter cleaning in the same pass, which is how we keep the cost predictable for residential properties and our regular cleanings.
| 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 Hermiston customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Plenty of window cleaners only do the glass, so the gutters end up on a second list. Across Oregon the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in October to early November, and the same calendar holds for our Hermiston jobs.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts. In fall it is the leaf load, the wet mat that sits in the gutters after the trees drop, and the runoff that streaks the siding below. Rinsing the frames and screens is how we remove dirt before it washes onto the glass. Storm and wind seasons, including the atmospheric rivers that move through Oregon, can shift the dates a little, so we look at the roof before we pick a day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Steep roofs on multi-story buildings and three-story houses take longer on the ladder, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than one in a quiet lot. Those are the homes where our customers end up on three or four visits a year instead of two.
The windows inside the house rarely show the outside film, so the sign to watch for is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. A professional window cleaning on the spring and fall schedule keeps that haze from building up. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout, and curb appeal drops when the gutters look full. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it.
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 crew cleans gutters and windows across the residential properties in Hermiston, and we work at the level of the whole city rather than by street. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date once the crew has that information. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year the calendar fills first, so it is worth asking early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come, so you know when to expect the truck. We clean every residential window we can reach from the outside, including the upper floors, and wipe each sill as part of the same pass, so every window on the house gets the same finish. For a single house, the window and gutter cleaning takes one visit, and the same schedule service covers the gutters and the glass.
If you want a slot on the calendar, text a photo of the roofline and your address and we will reply with the next date we have open.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the glass on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs down onto the clean windows below.
We do not quote a range on a page. The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain grime and the sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than most people expect. Cleaning the outside keeps the view clear even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall, which are the two busy windows of the year. If the home is one of the condos in a shared building, mention it when you call so we can check the roofline before the date. Booking early in either window is the easiest way to get the date you want.
Not when the gutters are done first. The leaves, grit and black runoff come down the wall during the gutter work, so the glass is washed last, and the crew rinses the siding under each run before it moves to the windows.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the tracks are cleaned on request. None of them show up as a separate line on the invoice.
Our washing services in this visit are exterior only, so we do not clean interior glass or pressure wash the siding. We mention it here so you know what to plan for.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
