Century Farm sits below Amity toward Lake Hazel, right on Meridian's construction frontier. Homes within a half mile of an open dirt phase pick up a pale silt film that recoats within days — so out here the two-story great-room glass and entry transoms need a schedule, not a one-time wash.
Century Farm is still filling in. New phases keep opening on the ground below Amity and toward Lake Hazel, and any house within about a half mile of an open dirt phase catches a fine, pale silt film off the graded lots. It isn't mud you can point at — it's a thin haze that settles on the glass, dries flat, and comes back within a few days of a wash. Post-frontal northwest wind, the most common high-wind pattern in the valley, drives it hardest onto west and northwest elevations. That's the real reason a one-time clean disappoints on this side of Meridian: the window looks great for a week, then hazes over again while the next phase is still being scraped. Until the dirt around your block is built out and landscaped, the honest answer is a schedule, not a single visit.
The floor plans that dominate Century Farm all lean on the same move: a tall two-story great-room window wall on the back of the house, plus a transom or arched accent over the front entry. Those are the panes homeowners can't safely reach — second-story glass over a stair, and entry transoms above a door with no landing to stand on. A pole and a wobbly ladder on a compact lot next to a sprinkler head is how people get hurt. We bring the reach gear and water-fed poles to do that upper glass from the ground, inside and out where access allows. The lower windows you could technically handle yourself; the great-room wall and the transoms are the ones worth having a crew take.
Century Farm runs on pressurized irrigation — untreated Boise River canal water piped along the back lot lines and thrown by the sprinkler heads. On these tight lots the heads sit close to the house, so overspray hits the ground-floor panes, the vinyl frames, and the cultured-stone wainscot every cycle. That water is silty and hard; it dries to a gritty tan-to-white film a garden hose won't touch, and it recoats from roughly April through mid-October. Left alone through a season it starts to etch. We clear it with pure deionized water and, where the mineral is baked on, a proper scrub before the final rinse. If your downstairs windows and stone keep spotting no matter how often you rinse them, that's the irrigation, not you — and it's exactly what the membership cadence is built to stay ahead of.
A lot of Century Farm's larger custom homes carry 6-inch K-style aluminum gutter instead of the 5-inch you see on tract houses — more capacity, but a longer, heavier run to clear by hand. During build-out they fill with shingle grit and graded-lot silt fast, and the downspouts on the two-story rear elevations are the ones nobody wants to climb to. We clean gutters from $199, pull the debris out by hand rather than blowing it around, and flush the downspouts so the next storm actually drains. Pairing a gutter clear with a window visit saves the second trip charge, and on the taller rear runs it means the ladder work happens once instead of twice.
Every job uses 100% pure deionized water and no soap — nothing left on the glass for silt to stick to, which is why our RainShield finish holds up between visits. Windows start at $199 by pane count; screens are +$50 and clean free once a year with a membership, which lines up with the July–August elm seed bug swarm on the frames. Pressure washing runs $0.20 a square foot, soft-wash house washing $0.18. Memberships come Monthly or Quarterly with no contract and a 7-Day Rain Guarantee — if rain spots your glass within a week, we come back. Quarterly saves $100 per cleaning, which on a construction-frontier block like this usually beats paying one-time rates four times a year. We keep same-day and next-day slots open.

While the phases around you are still open dirt, once a year won't hold. The silt off graded lots recoats glass within days of a wash, and the sprinklers spot the lower panes every cycle from April to October. Quarterly keeps it ahead of both and saves $100 per cleaning versus one-time rates. Once your block is fully built out and landscaped, we're happy to step you down to an annual or twice-a-year visit.
Yes. Those are the two spots almost every Century Farm floor plan puts out of safe reach, and they're the main reason people call. We use water-fed poles and reach gear to clean the tall rear glass and the transoms over the front door from the ground, inside and out where access allows. You don't need to own a ladder tall enough or stand on the stairs to do it yourself.
That's pressurized irrigation. Century Farm's sprinklers run untreated, silty canal water, and on these compact lots the heads sit close enough to spray the ground-floor panes, vinyl frames, and cultured-stone wainscot. It dries to a hard tan-white film a hose can't remove, and it comes back every watering cycle through mid-October. We clear it with deionized water and a scrub where it's baked on — a quarterly cadence is what keeps it from etching.
Yes. Many of the larger custom builds here run 6-inch K-style gutter with taller rear-elevation downspouts. We clean gutters from $199, pull debris out by hand instead of blowing it around, and flush the downspouts to confirm they drain. During build-out they clog fast with shingle grit and lot silt, so if you're near an active phase it's worth checking them more than once a year. Bundling with a window visit saves a second trip.
We keep same-day and next-day slots open most weeks, so a Century Farm address can usually be handled quickly. Call (208) 453-6760 or book online. If you're on a Monthly or Quarterly membership you're already on the schedule and we just rotate through; there's no contract, and the 7-Day Rain Guarantee means if rain spots the glass within a week of a visit, we come back and re-clean at no charge.
Windows start at $199 and price by pane count, so a bigger two-story home with a full great-room wall runs more than a smaller plan. Screens are +$50 and clean free once a year on a membership. Add pressure washing at $0.20 a square foot or soft-wash house washing at $0.18 if the siding and wainscot need it. We'll give you a firm number before we start — no surprises after the fact.
