The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes afterward. 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. On our West Linn jobs most customers book in the spring and again in the fall, when the leaves and needles are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text us a photo of the front of the house.
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 the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it comes from stories, window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Picture windows and oversized panes add time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit and quote the treatment separately. A house with heavy staining and a long gap since its last visit is the kind of job where window washing and gutter work both run longer than the photos suggest, and clogged gutters that have sat through a wet season can already be causing water damage to the fascia behind it.
On our West Linn jobs, the homes that cost the most to do right are the ones where the crew has to work around multi-story buildings or a wrapped porch roof, not the ones with the most glass. Professional window cleaning for curb appeal is mostly about the sill and frame, and that is in the number. This visit covers the exterior only, so if windows inside need attention, we quote interior and exterior work as separate jobs. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has.

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 West Linn customers book cleaning services for both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit each time makes sense. At each spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste of needles packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall the story changes to a wet leaf load and grit that has sat through the first rains. Wind and storm seasons move the dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving 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 picks up a film that a single pass will not lift. Those are the jobs we put on a shorter schedule.
For regular cleanings on a residential window and gutter job, the schedule that holds clean windows is the one you can keep, and we can set up schedule service with you at the first visit. Most customers keep the spring and fall cleanings on the calendar, which is the simplest way to make sure every window and sill gets the same attention and the gutters are clear before the next storm arrives. Haze you only notice when the sun is low on the glass is the sign the windows need it. Water that sheets over the edge of the gutter in rain is the sign the gutters need 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.
We clean houses across West Linn, and on our jobs in the city we have worked through the neighborhoods that sit on the hillsides and along the river. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and our typical lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visit months, when leaves and debris build up fastest and our calendar fills first, so calling early in those months keeps more options open.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before they arrive. Our crew handles residential and commercial properties with the same care as the condos and apartment complexes we service, with the gutters and downspouts cleared before the glass is touched. Runoff from a cleaned gutter is caught where the downspout meets the ground, and we flag any downspout that discharges too close to the foundation. We remove dirt and grime from the glass and the frame in one pass, so the window washing services we provide finish the outside of the house in a single visit, and our window cleaning services cover the same ground on every visit.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order matters because loose debris and dirty water run down onto any window below a gutter, so the glass is done once, at the end.
The number comes from the stories, the window count and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. It is the number on the invoice, with no add-ons for downspouts, screens or sills.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass in West Linn, and the inside never sees them. Clean inside glass does not stop the film that settles on the outside from dulling the view.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the spring tree bloom and before the first hard freeze. Calling early in those months gives you more open dates.
Not when we do it in order. Gutters first, glass last, so anything that comes out of the gutters has already been flushed before the window cleaning starts.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior visit. They are not billed as separate line items.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job. Ask us which cleaning solutions go on your frames and sills before the visit, and we will tell you.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
