Yes, the same two people clean your 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 done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our Wells customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up on 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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and windows in one visit comes out cheaper than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice for every one of our window cleaning services.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. Each residential window adds glass to clean, and oversized picture windows take the longest. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time, and so do guards that have to be lifted and reseated. Grime that has baked onto the glass from sprinkler water is not something a cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we quote. Cleaning the windows inside is a separate job, and a quote for interior and exterior glass is priced on its own; this visit covers the outside only. Cleaning out gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping the sill are part of the job, not extras billed later.
To get an exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows. Regular cleanings keep the job quicker each visit, because the glass and the gutters never get a chance to build up. Our washing services get a number on the same call, so you know the total before anything is booked.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is booked.

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 Wells customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. Across Maine, the spring visit usually falls mid to late June, and the fall visit here usually falls October to early November. One crew doing both in one visit makes sense for that reason. The same timing holds for residential and commercial buildings, since the leaf load lands on both.
In spring we see a pollen film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed in the gutter elbows. The film usually comes off with water alone, without harsh cleaning solutions, but the paste takes longer. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the trees drop. Clogged gutters in either season are the first thing we clear, because the water they hold has nowhere to go. Across Maine, nor'easters dump wet snow and rain in the same storm, which moves the dates a little, and we go by what we find on the house rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than the rest, so we remove dirt from the frames at every visit. Multi-story buildings are the same, and they take longer on the ladder every time. If a run stays full between visits, the overflow sends runoff down the wall and can cause water damage at the fascia.
You will know windows need it when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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 book our cleaning services through a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crews run the same schedule in the busy windows of the year, when the calendar fills, so an early estimate keeps your slot. We work with homeowners on residential properties who want the windows and the gutters done by one set of people, not two trips from two companies. Professional window cleaning on a Wells house follows the same steps on every visit, and our window cleaners carry that process to every window. Clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal, especially on the front of the house.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a date that fits your spring or fall window. The crew also wipes the sill under every window while it is up there.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the runoff from the runs never hits the windows we just cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and each residential window is counted in that quote. Text us a photo of the front and we will quote it.
Usually yes on a Wells house, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside and the inside never gets to them. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt before it bakes in.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. We work on residential properties, condos included, so text us if you want to be on the list for your date.
Not when we do it right. Gutters first, glass last, so the water from the runs is cleared before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
