Interior and exterior glass, screens and storm windows. Priced per window.
Dirty glass is the easiest thing in a building to stop noticing, because it happens a pane at a time over a season. Salt air and winter grit on the Seacoast are particularly good at it, and the result is not a window that looks dirty so much as a room that looks dim. Perham washes the glass inside and out, which matters because interior film and exterior film are different problems and doing only one leaves the window looking half done. Window washing is the second thing the owner names as his own specialism alongside floor care. The pricing is unusually plain and it is published on their own site: a flat rate per window, with screens and storm windows each priced separately as extras rather than bundled in. That means a house with a lot of storms is not quietly charged as though it were a house without them, and you can decide to have the screens done or not. Tell them roughly how many windows, screens and storms and the number is straightforward to work out in advance.
Kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living space cleaned properly, weekly, bi-weekly or as a one-time clean, at a published price.
02Desks, break rooms, restrooms and floors on a regular schedule, with the floor care most janitorial contracts leave out.
04Hard-floor care is a separate trade from vacuuming, and it is the owner’s own stated specialism, the reason commercial clients keep him on.
Most house cleaners do not touch floor care, and most floor-care outfits do not clean houses. Nathaniel Perham does both, plus the glass.
Room by room, weekly, bi-weekly or one-time. Beds remade, floors washed by hand, trash out.
Desks, break rooms, restrooms and floors, on a schedule that fits around your business.
Glass inside and out, at a published per-window rate. Screens and storms priced separately.
The specialism. Nathaniel Perham describes himself as “a specialist in floor care”, a different trade from vacuuming.
Perham Services is a small owner-run company working across Kittery, York County and the New Hampshire Seacoast. Look them up on Google, then call and tell them what you need cleaned.
Perham publishes how they schedule, which is more than most cleaning companies will put in writing. It is reproduced here as they state it.
Call (207) 994-4472 and say what you need: a house on a schedule, an office, windows, floors, or a one-time clean. House cleaning is priced by the bedroom on their published list.
They book in three-hour arrival windows rather than promising an exact time, and they text when they are leaving for your home or office. Days are booked on your preference plus one, in case of conflicts.
Once you are on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, the day and time mostly stay the same. New clients are asked for a 50% deposit on the first cleaning, with payment due at the time of service.
Their own stated policy: if you are not happy with the service they will come back and fix it at no cost within 48 hours. Their words: “We are human and things do sometimes get missed but we will always make it back to fix it.”
Kittery sits on the Piscataqua River right on the state line, so the service area genuinely covers two states, Kittery, York and Eliot in Maine, and the Seacoast towns from Portsmouth up to Dover in New Hampshire. A little further out? Call and ask.
Tell them what needs cleaning and roughly where you are, and you will get a straight price.
