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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Oregon, most of the houses we clean get the gutters and glass done together in spring and fall, which is when the buildup on both is heaviest.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we get there by stories and approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit comes in below booking the two jobs separately, because the crew sets up once and works both sides of the house before it leaves.
On the day, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew can see from the ground and the ladder: a third story or a roof steep enough that we need to work from a boom or scissor lift, a gutter that has not been opened in years and is packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before anything can be flushed, oversized panes and tall picture windows that need the pole and a longer reach, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers, which a cleaning will not remove. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how a quote usually gets built. We ask how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street, and whether the gutters have ever been cleaned. A photo of the front of the house sent by text tells us most of what we need. If a run looks like it has been ignored for a long time, we say so on the call and the quote reflects it. Our crew does not add a surprise line item on the invoice.
Clogged gutters on a house in Prineville tend to show up first as water sheeting over the edge in the first real rain. By the time the water is pooling at the foundation or staining the fascia, the cost of the job has already grown. Regular cleanings cost less than repairing water damage that has been working its way into the wall for a season, and that is the case we make when we quote. Most of our customers here get the window washing and the gutter work done on the same day so that nothing is left to drip onto the glass afterward.
Professional window cleaning is a fair comparison for what you are paying for. Window cleaners who work by the pane tend to skip the screens and the sills; we include them, because the grime sits there and drips down the glass the next time it rains. If you want the number, send a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. The bundle price is quoted from those two things before the crew is booked.
| 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 here book cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. The spring visit is for the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the sap and needles packed into the gutters, and the fall visit is for the leaf load and the wet mat that builds up before the cold sets in. Across Oregon the same pattern holds, and the dates move with storm and wind seasons.
At the spring visit we find tree debris worked into the downspout elbows and a sticky film on every window that gets sun through the afternoon. At the fall visit we find the leaf mat, the grit that washed down from the roof, and the first signs of sagging hangers where water has been sitting. Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule; needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and houses like that are often on three or four visits a year. Houses with few or no trees do well with two cleanings a year.
Three situations push a house onto a third visit as we see them on the ground. The first is heavy tree cover directly over the roof. The second is a sprinkler line that hits the glass, which leaves round white spots that look clean on the day and come back the next morning. The third is a house near a busy road or an active construction site, where dust settles on the frame and the screens faster than anywhere else.
You will know a residential window needs cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low and the light comes in at an angle. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is reason enough to call us, and we will tell you on the phone which visit you are due for before anything gets booked.
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 Prineville, and the houses we clean here are a mix of older single-story homes and newer two-story builds. The booking process is short. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we ask how many stories the house has and how many windows face the street. We also ask for a photo of the front of the house. That is enough to give you a firm number by phone or text. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come.
The lead time for a first visit depends on the calendar, and we give you the actual date when you book. In the busy windows of the year, when the spring bloom and the fall leaf load arrive at the same time that everyone else is calling, the schedule fills first, so booking early helps. Outside those windows there is usually more room. If your house has a single problem spot, like a run that overflows or a sprinkler line that marks the glass, tell us on the call so the crew brings what it needs.
We handle residential properties, including single-family homes, multi-story buildings and condos where the owners want the exterior glass and the gutters done on a set schedule. Our washing services cover residential and commercial jobs alike, and every quote starts from the same questions about stories and window count. Runoff from a roof that has not been cleaned can stain the siding, the walkway and the foundation, and that is where a regular schedule pays off. The crew's job is to remove dirt from every run it clears, and it photographs each run before and after so you can see what was left.
Yes, our own two-person crew does both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back down across the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. There is no fixed figure we can give without those details, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the hit here: pollen film in spring, dust and rain grime, and sprinkler spotting on the glass. Clean inside glass does not stop that outside buildup from dulling the view, and the outside is most of the curb appeal.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, and the calendar fills fastest in those two windows. If you can, book before the spring bloom or the leaf load peaks, and call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
Not on our jobs. The gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed first, and the wall is given a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass, so nothing washes back down onto the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and the glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak. Tracks are included in the exterior cleaning, and nothing is billed separately for them.
The question of interior and exterior glass is settled before we book. This visit covers the exterior only, and we do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on it, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
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 unlock the side gate. Our crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run to your phone before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
