Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the glass is not washed twice. 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. Most of our Portland customers book it in the spring and in the fall.
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 our gutter and window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate washing services. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we work it out from those figures before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. Steep roofs on multi-story buildings need a boom or scissor lift and more time on the wall. A large number of windows, or picture windows that take two people to reach safely, adds time. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to empty, and heavy grime on the glass takes longer to lift. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the count too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last one: the crew can tell you on the visit whether it comes off with cleanings or needs a separate treatment, since regular cleanings do not remove mineral stains. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Each job is priced for the exterior only, and we do not bundle the interior and exterior into one number. Our crew does window washing on the outside only, and it does not clean the windows inside. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. For a quote, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with your stories and a rough window count. Here is how it looks on a recent Portland job: a house on a corner lot with heavy tree cover, what we found was grime and needles packed in the gutters and sprinkler spotting on the south glass, and we cleared both on one visit. The next Portland house with the same spotting needed a second look from the crew.
| 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 Portland customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Each visit finds something different. In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is what we clear first, and the wet mat it leaves is the reason clogged gutters that skip the visit sag by the next winter. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, and we book around them.
Some Portland houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a clogged downspout is where water damage at the wall usually starts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust than the others. For those, we suggest adding a visit once the first cleaning shows what the lot is doing.
Our crew is sure of one thing about the glass: haze you only see when the sun is low is usually the sign the windows need cleaning. For gutters, water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain is the sign. Both usually show up before you think to check.
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 crew provides professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services for homes across Portland. Across Texas, the spring visit window runs late March to April and the fall visit window runs late November to December, and those are the busy stretches on our calendar. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text. Send us your stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number before any date is set. The quote is worked out the same way for residential and commercial buildings. Lead time depends on the season and the day, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our crew works outside and does not come inside the house. We call before we come, so you know the day and the window to expect. On a standard house, the job covers every window on the outside, from the lower glass to the top floor, and nothing is skipped because it is high up. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal from the street than most owners expect.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the day. We reach the sill, the frame and the screen on every window we clean, and the rinse is there to remove dirt from the frame before it reaches the glass.
Yes. Our crew clears the gutters and downspouts and does the glass too, with the same two people on the ladder. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty from the gutters lands on clean windows.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house. We do not quote a range from a list. Send a photo of the front and your window count, and we will give you one number.
For a residential window in Portland, the outside carries the road grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what haze the glass most. Cleaning the inside alone leaves them in place. The outside is the part we clean.
Most of our Portland customers book in the spring and in the fall, once the leaves have dropped, and the same timing holds for residential properties across the city. Book in one of those windows and the calendar is still open.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Runoff from the gutters carries grit down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside of the window.
No. We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. The interior and exterior are never one job, so if you want the windows inside cleaned, that is a separate arrangement.
You do not need to be home, and that holds for condos too, as long as the crew can reach the outside of every window. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate, and that is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
