Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Oregon, most of the homes we work on are booked in spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters have collected the most.
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 quote window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs as separate cleanings. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work it out from that.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. So does a large count of windows, oversized picture windows, and gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles, leaves and spring pollen. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left on it to chase.
Across Oregon, the way we get the exact number is the same: tell us the stories, the window count and send a photo of the front of the house. People comparing residential and commercial rates often see a per-window figure, but a house is quoted on its stories and glass. Our crew has cleaned gutters and exterior glass on homes where the bundle was the clear choice, and on others where spot treatment was the bigger cost, and we say which one applies before any work starts. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it by text or email so you can compare it at your own pace. If you plan on regular cleanings, say so on the call so we can quote the visits together. When you ask for the quote, ask whether it covers interior and exterior glass, because ours covers the exterior only.
| 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.
On our Silverton jobs, most customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Plenty of window cleaners quote the glass alone, so check whether the gutters are part of the price before you compare cleaning services. Across Oregon the spring visit falls in mid to late June, after the trees have shed their seed, and in Silverton the fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves come down. Silverton gets 47.2 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are November, December and January, when the gutters are heavy and the glass shows the film of the season. In the leaf months the gutters carry a wet mat that runs over the edge once rain starts.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film than the rest. Gutters that overflow for a season can cause water damage at the fascia. Those are the houses where we suggest a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so the crew plans for it on the first call. For the rest, regular cleanings twice a year keep the buildup in check.
The signs tell you when to book without waiting for the calendar. Glass that needs cleaning looks hazy in low sun, most of all from the windows inside. Clogged gutters show it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Professional window cleaning on the outside clears that film and does the most for curb appeal from the street. Our crew can look at the roofline from the ground on the first call and tell you which of those applies.
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.
Window and gutter cleaning in Silverton starts with a phone call or a text for most residential properties. Our first questions are the number of stories, the residential window count, and a photo of the house front. A typical lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the spring growth and the leaves arrive, our calendar fills faster, so an early call helps. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so the crew arrives when expected.
We clean the gutters first and the glass last on every visit, and we flush each downspout and check the outlet before we touch a pane. We wipe every sill and clean windows on the outside of the house, and every window that can be reached safely from the ground or a pole gets done. If a gutter run or a window is out of reach, the crew says so and does not guess. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service or to ask about the next open slot.
Yes. Our crew does both on the same visit, with the same two people. Our washing services run in one order: the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, so we give it over the phone or by text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send the number.
On the outside, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting build up in Silverton, so the glass often looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean. Exterior cleaning helps you remove dirt and grime that the weather leaves behind.
Most of our customers here book in spring after the pollen drop and in fall after the leaves come down. Across Oregon the same two windows are the busiest for us.
Not on our visits. Gutters go first, glass last, so the grit and the water from the runs are cleared before any pane is touched. The runoff from a gutter that is cleaned after the windows is the reason we do it in this order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the tracks are cleaned when they are reachable from outside. None of that is billed as an extra line item.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing, so the inside of the windows and the siding are not included.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you own a condo, check with your association first about who handles the gutters.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
