Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Maine, our crew does most of this work each spring and fall, and we can tell you the number before we come.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and our window washing services on the glass are included in that same figure. Booking both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more hands. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, and we say so when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the crew will remove dirt from each one before it leaves. None of them is billed as an extra.
On our Saco jobs, the houses with the most trees overhead tend to come back to the same gutters more often, and the grime on the glass is usually road dust mixed with tree debris. To get the figure, send us a photo of the front of the house by text, along with your story count and a rough window count. Our crew reviews it and calls you back with a figure before anyone climbs a ladder. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice, so you know what the visit will cost before it starts.

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 Saco customers book the two seasonal cleanings, once in spring and once in fall, and window and gutter cleaning by one crew in one visit fits that calendar. Across Maine, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit runs from October to early November.
On the spring visit, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see, and the sap and seed residue in the gutter elbows comes out with it. The crew cuts the film with mild cleaning solutions before the glass is rinsed. Fall brings the leaf load, and our crew finds the wet leaf mat packed at the bends of the downspouts. Across Maine, nor'easters can dump wet snow and rain in the same storm, and that moves our dates more than the calendar does. A window cleaning service that only comes once a year will miss the film that settles between visits.
Some homes need a third visit, or more regular cleanings in a heavy tree year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded, and 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 grit faster than the rest. We will tell you which of these applies after the first visit, so you know whether to plan for two visits or three.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 cleans the exterior of residential and commercial properties in Saco and the surrounding area, including the outside of each residential window, and we keep the schedule full enough that the spring and fall windows fill first. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. That gives us what we need to quote the job and set a date.
When our calendar fills during the busy weeks, we call before we come, so nobody is waiting on a truck that is not coming. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside the house. If the window cleaners on your street have already worked there, we check the glass against the last visit before we start.
We are the window cleaning services you call when you want the gutters and the outside of the windows handled together, and we carry professional window cleaning methods on every job. Older homes, condos and multi-story buildings with sagging hangers are where clogged gutters cause the most water damage, so we flag those early and photograph every run for your records.
Yes. Our crew does gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning in the same visit, with the same two people on the job. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front and we will give you a quote before we book.
On our Saco jobs the outside carries the most of the buildup: pollen film, road dust and sprinkler spotting that settles on the glass. Clean windows inside will still look hazy from outside if the exterior is not done, and that haze drags down the curb appeal of the whole house.
Across Maine, most of our customers book in mid to late June for spring and October to early November for fall. Those are the windows our calendar fills first, so book early if you want a set date.
Not if the gutters are done first. Our crew clears the gutters, flushes the downspouts and gives the wall a few minutes to drain before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and nothing is billed as an extra for them. Tracks are included in the exterior visit as well.
No. This visit covers the outside of every window, not the inside. Booking interior and exterior glass as separate visits keeps the price clear, and we do not do pressure washing on this one, but we can point you to someone who does if you need it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
