Our own crew cleans gutters, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls the leaves and grit away, and sends photos of every run before we leave, so you can see what a clean gutter looks like. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves have finished coming down. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, though we do not quote that way.
On Dothan homes, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well above grade, gutters that nobody has opened in years and that are packed with compacted leaves and debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat before the gutter underneath can be cleared. Our gutter cleaning services include downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal, and none of it is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
A clog that keeps coming back usually means a drainage problem at the bottom of the run, not a buildup at the top. When we see a sag or a buildup of silt at the outlet, we flush from the top and measure the water flow out of the bottom, then tell you what we found. Dothan homeowners who see the same clog twice should ask for that measurement. Many of the residential properties and commercial properties we clean ask for a regular gutter cleaning schedule once they see what came out of the first run. Those are the same crew and the same photos, so you can see the change from one visit to the next. Our crew treats every house as a separate job, and we ask you to clean your gutters on a schedule that fits the trees and the roof, not on a timer we set for everyone. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate that lists each item in the number.

Downspouts flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled, photos of every run. The quote already has all of it in.
Our crew clears every gutter run by hand, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. Roof valleys and the area above the gutter line are blown clear first, so the next rain does not refill what was just emptied. Every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom; one that will not clear is worked from the top where it can be reached. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks that water is leaving at the outlet and tells you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Debris goes into bags and leaves with the truck. It is not blown onto the lawn, the deck or next door. The ground is left as it was found.
Before the crew leaves you get photos of every run and every downspout, before and after, on your phone, whether or not you were home. Anything the crew sees that is not a cleaning problem, a hanger pulled loose, a seam dripping, a run sitting flat, is photographed and reported, not repaired and not sold on the spot.
What can change the number, and you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice: a third story or a roof too steep to walk; gutters that have not been touched in years; guards that have to come off and go back on.
Twice a year for most houses: once after the spring seed and pollen drop, once after the last leaves fall.
Most of our customers book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring gutter is packed with seeds, seed casings and pollen paste that sit in the elbows and turn into clogged downspouts. The fall gutter is full of the wet leaf mat that forms over the rainy months, with the odd twig lodged in the elbows, and that mat holds water against the fascia until it finds a way out, often through a leak at a seam.
Under heavy tree cover and a busy landscape, we see gutters and downspouts fill with needles and grit between visits, so those customers are on a schedule of every three to four months. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses in the area. After the first visit we tell you which of those tiers your lot actually needs, and the crew puts the reason in the photos. Gutters that were not cleaned in the fall often show a sag by the next spring. A sagging run, or a blockage at the bottom of the run, holds rainwater until it spills behind the fascia, and that is where structural damage and rot start. Keeping that water away from your home is what the schedule is for.
On our Dothan gutter cleaning calendar, the spring and fall visits fill first, so call early in the season. Text a photo of the roofline and we can tell you whether the gutter needs a clog cleared or a full run flushed, and whether the estimate covers the entire lot. Keep your gutters clean between visits by checking each downspout after heavy rainfall, and let us know if you see water coming over the edge.
Water over the edge rots the board behind the gutter first. Everything after that is slow, and slow is what a policy excludes.
The three signs. Water pouring over the front edge in rain instead of out of the downspout. A run that sags, sits low or has pulled away from the fascia. Plants growing out of the trough. Any one of them means the gutter is full.
What happens next. Water that cannot drain sits in the trough and spills behind it. The fascia board rots, then the soffit. Water backs up under the first course of shingles and shows up as a ceiling stain. Siding stains and swells. Below, the overflow cuts a channel at the foundation and finds the basement. The wet debris itself weighs enough to pull the gutter off the house. Standing water breeds mosquitoes; dry debris houses wasps. Where winters freeze, the trapped water becomes an ice dam at the eave and lifts the shingles from underneath.
Why your policy will not pay. Homeowners insurance generally does not cover water damage traced to clogged gutters. Carriers class gutter cleaning as routine maintenance, and damage from skipped maintenance as preventable neglect, which a standard policy excludes. A limb that tears a gutter off in a storm is sudden and accidental and is usually covered; a fascia board that rotted over two years is not. This is general information, not insurance advice; read your policy or ask your agent.
Guards stop leaves. They do not stop needles, seeds, grit or the paste they turn into. The job gets shorter, not gone.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often, and it is a different job: clearing what sits on top of the guard and checking that water is actually getting in, rather than scooping out the trough. Mesh and screen guards hold whole leaves off. Pine needles thread through, seed casings and pollen mat on top, roof grit settles underneath, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge. The gutter is empty and the water never went in.
Guards earn their keep under big leafy trees and on roofs too high to want to climb. They do not end maintenance, whatever the installer said. Our crew lifts the panels, clears underneath, flushes the downspouts and reseats the guards; tell us what is on the house when you get the quote and it is priced as a guarded system, which usually runs shorter than an open one.
Under an hour on most houses. Nobody has to be there, and the photos arrive either way.
The crew calls the day before with an arrival window and again when they are on the way. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical home; bigger houses, steep roofs and gutters left for years run longer. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. Before they arrive: side gate unlocked, cars off the driveway if runs face it, pets inside while ladders are up. Ladder stand-offs keep the ladder off the gutter lip and the siding. After: photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves, and an invoice that matches the quote.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. You hear what it is before anyone talks about money.
Still overflowing. A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. If that happens after a cleaning, send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it actually is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number. The price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Your house. Stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip, and screens and downspout extensions go back where they were.
Payment. The balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone. Some dates take a small booking fee to hold the slot, and you hear about it before you book.
The whole city and the towns around it, booked by phone or text from the nearest crew.
Our gutter services work across Dothan and the surrounding areas, and cover Dothan AL from our nearest base, so the drive is short for most homes. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy for you to send. If the house has gutter guards, mention them when you book so the crew brings what it needs. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. We clean residential and commercial buildings on the same routine. The booking calendar is busiest in the spring and fall, the two windows when most of our customers want to clean.
The calendar fills first during those busy windows, so book early. When you call, we give you the next open date and confirm it in writing. The gutter cleaning process is the same at every address and on every visit, whether it is a one-off or part of your gutter maintenance schedule: the crew clears the run by hand, and each visit we flush every downspout with water until it runs clean at the bottom, then photograph the result before leaving. We do not promise a slot that is not on the calendar.
If you are weighing a clean-up against a bigger problem, ask us for the photos first. We would rather tell you the gutters are fine than sell a visit you do not need. Regular cleaning helps protect your home from water damage, and a homeowner who wants to get your gutters on a regular schedule can book the next visit before the crew leaves. Keep the schedule simple: one date in spring, one in late fall, and a check after any heavy rainfall, and the cleaning and maintenance stays on track.
Our cleaning services in Dothan are quoted from stories and size, by phone or text. It is the number we charge, with flushing and haul-off included.
Across Alabama, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop. The fall visit runs late November to December, and if it gets skipped, the runs can sag by the next spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day unless the calendar has an open slot that day.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the water flow at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. A guarded gutter system still collects needles and seed casings on top of the guard and grit underneath, so the rain gutter still needs clearing and the downspout still needs flushing.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size rather than a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, and the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
