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 the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Independence jobs, most customers book it in the spring and the fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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 window washing and gutter work separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we do not change it on the day.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count with oversized picture windows, gutters nobody has opened 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. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Runoff that sheets over a clogged gutter is the first sign of trouble, and the crew notes it on the visit.
Most of the work for this kind of house comes down to getting the exact number. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job will take. Our washing services are priced from that photo, and the crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the frames as well as the glass. A crew that can see the roofline and every window on the house will not be surprised by the second floor, and neither will you. Condos get the same treatment: if the unit is one of several condos in a building, tell us the number of units and the stories, and we will price it from there.

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 Oregon, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late June, and our window and gutter work runs on that same calendar. In Independence, the fall visit runs from November to early December, and most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, so one crew in one visit makes sense. The calendar is the same for a residential window and a commercial one, so the building type does not change the timing.
What we find at each visit tracks the season. In the spring, pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters are the first things we see, and picture windows show it first. Clean windows stay clean longer when the frames and sills go with the glass, so we do both. In the fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and wind or storm seasons move the dates a little. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually means a third visit, because the spots that come back a day later are the sign of a problem that one cleaning will not fix. For those houses, we bring the right cleaning solutions for the mineral film and keep the regular cleanings on the calendar.
The sign windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule a visit.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and glass across Independence, and the estimate starts with a phone call or a text. To schedule service, give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the slot. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are when our calendar fills, so book early if you want the spring or fall date. Every window on the house is counted in the estimate, so the number you hear is the number you pay. Clean glass and clear gutters also add to curb appeal.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and our cleaning services stay on the outside of the house. We do not touch the interior and exterior of a window on the same visit, so the inside glass stays as it is. Our window cleaners bring professional window cleaning to residential properties, and each residential window gets the same purified-water rinse, with the same care on multi-story buildings from a boom or scissor lift where the height needs it. A house with clogged gutters or signs of water damage gets flagged on the visit, not hidden.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the count of every window on the house. Text us the number of stories and a photo, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will quote it.
Yes, the outside of a residential window carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those do not come off with an inside cleaning.
Across Oregon, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late June, and our Independence fall visits run from November to early December. Either window works, and the calendar fills, so call early if you want a specific date.
Not on our jobs. The gutters and downspouts get cleaned first, and the runoff is rinsed away before we start on the glass, so nothing from the gutters reaches the windows after they are cleaned.
Screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are part of the window.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior are never cleaned together, and we do not do pressure washing or interior glass.
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, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
