The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Biddeford jobs, most customers book this with us in spring and fall, when the leaves and the spring grime are at their worst.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a window count with oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts go into the same quote, and the crew will remove dirt from every run and every downspout before the glass is touched. Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Biddeford jobs, the quote is set by what the house needs, not by a standard package. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from that. Window washing and washing services on the outside of the glass are priced by the window, with condos and multi-story homes quoted by the building. Window cleaning services start with a clear estimate, so you know what we will remove from the glass and the gutters before any work starts. Grime on the frames, runoff from the roof and the dirt that builds up on sills all get the same pass, so you see the difference on every run.

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 Biddeford jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each of those dates.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the last drop. Storms and wind seasons move those dates a little, so we book from what the house is showing us that year.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit. The spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually sprinkler minerals, and a house near a busy road or a construction site gathers grime faster than one on a quiet street. Cleanings on those houses are scheduled from what we see at the first visit. Picture windows, the big single panes that show every streak, get the same cleaning solutions and final pass as every other pane.
You will see the sign windows need it when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Our visits cover the exterior glass only, so we do not quote the interior and exterior of a house as one job.
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 residential and commercial properties across Biddeford, and professional window cleaning on homes and multi-story buildings is done by the same crew. Our cleaning services are scheduled from one phone call, and a window cleaner on our crew does the glass while the gutter partner clears the runs above it.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Lead time is set by the calendar that week, and we will give you a date when we call back. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, so book early for those. Curb appeal is what the street sees, and most of it is the outside glass; we do not touch windows inside the house on this visit. A house that waits can end up with clogged gutters that start to leak, and that water damage is the thing we most want to prevent. For clean windows and regular cleanings on your schedule, let us set the date.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never lands on clean windows.
We give the number over the phone or by text, from the number of stories and the size of the house. We do not quote a figure before we know the house.
Usually yes, since residential properties collect rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside that the inside never sees. Clean windows on the outside are the part you see from the street.
Most of our Biddeford customers book in spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest on the runs and the glass is at its dirtiest. Tell us your month and we will schedule service for the first open date.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. The runs are flushed and left to drain before anyone touches the glass, so nothing from the gutters lands on it.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse the screens and wipe the sills as we go, and every window gets the same pass.
Every residential window on the outside of the house is covered on this visit. We do not clean the inside or do pressure washing, so the inside and the siding are not part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
