The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by the work. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work with spring and fall visits across Oregon, and that is where the calendar starts. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and the window count for a quote.
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 gutter cleaning and window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of professional window cleaning and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaners quote the outside of the house, and windows inside are not part of the quote.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that change the work. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take the longest to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run is clean. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we point it out rather than promise it will.
On our Lake Oswego jobs, the quote usually moves most when a house has a lot of glass or a roofline that is hard to reach, because the time goes into those. Multi-story buildings and picture windows take the longest at the glass, and clogged gutters take the most time at the top of the house. Gutters that run over for years can also mean water damage at the fascia, and that repair is quoted separately. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal on the street side. Getting the exact number is simple: send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you the number.
| 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.
Across Oregon, spring visits run mid to late June, and for Lake Oswego the fall visit falls late November to December, so one crew in one visit makes sense for cleaning services on that calendar. Lake Oswego gets 50.4 inches of rain a year, with January, November and December the wettest months, so residential properties with trees overhead tend to need the fall visit most. In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass, and in fall the leaf load builds in the gutter elbows.
Some houses need a third visit, and regular cleanings in the middle of the year keep the build-up in check. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, so check every window on that side. Wiping the sill on each visit keeps the clean windows from picking up the grit that rain leaves behind. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up residue faster than the average residential window.
The sign the windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Either one is worth a call: dial (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will book a date to schedule service before the next season.
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 book the estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date. Lead time is set by our calendar, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf season, when our slots fill first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew provides washing services for the glass and the gutters together, and it runs one visit for window cleaning services on the same house.
Our work covers the glass and the grime that builds on the outside of the frames, and the gutters and downspouts that carry the runoff away from the foundation. Our crew will remove dirt from the sills and tracks as part of the visit, and on condos with shared gutter runs we clean the full length of each run so the next storm does not back up water onto the glass. A gutter that backs up for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia, and that is the cost we are trying to prevent.
Yes. Our crew does both, so one visit covers the gutters and the outside of the glass. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we quote residential and commercial buildings the same way. Send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we will quote it before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the most of the build-up: pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. The inside can stay as it is, although picture windows show outside haze the most.
Book the fall visit for late November to December, and the spring visit for mid to late June across Oregon. Regular cleanings on that calendar keep the build-up from piling up, and booking early keeps you ahead of the busy weeks.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Gutter water and debris would otherwise run down the wall and across any window below it, so the order matters.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped with mild cleaning solutions, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras, and they are included in the number we quote.
This visit is exterior glass only: the windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior work is quoted as separate jobs. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
