Our crew cleans gutters in Eufaula, flushing every downspout, checking that the flow runs clean at the outlet, hauling the mess away, and sending photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's footprint and how much tree cover hangs over it. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been doing this work across Alabama long enough to know why those two visits matter.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. A homeowner gets it before anyone climbs a ladder. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but the stories and the state of the gutter matter more than the footage.
On our jobs the things that move the price are a third story or a pitch too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far above grade, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed solid with compacted leaves, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get a clean pass underneath. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away of everything we pull out are included in the price and never billed as extras. When you compare gutter cleaning services, ask whether the price covers the haul-away and the downspout flush. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on Eufaula homes. A clog that has built up for a season usually shows as water running over the front edge in rain, and the crew finds the blockage at the elbow of the downspout, where the leaves and debris have packed together. Where a gutter sag has started, the buildup of wet leaves is almost always the reason, and clearing it stops the water from pooling in the trough. Left alone, that standing water finds a seam and turns into a leak. Commercial properties with flat tops have their own version of the same problem, with internal drains that back up under a mat of leaves. Once the rain gutter runs clean and we flush the clogged downspouts, the whole gutter system drains again, the water flow comes back to normal, and the structural damage that water would have caused does not start. Drainage at the outlet is the first thing the crew checks. That is the whole point of the cleaning: send the water away from the building before it finds the weak spot.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $165 | from $215 | from $280 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $190 | from $250 | from $325 |
For context, nationally: Angi 2026, US average $168, most $119 to $234, $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot.
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 in Eufaula AL book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Alabama, spring visits land in mid to late April, and late fall visits here usually fall in late November to December. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March. Eufaula gets about 53.3 inches of rain a year, and March, July and December are the wettest months, so rainwater is what exposes a neglected gutter first. Freezes make that worse, since the trapped water turns into ice at the eave, and freeze risk is real here.
Houses under heavy tree cover need regular gutter cleaning more often than the rest, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the elbows between visits. A twig wedged in a downspout elbow is harder to clear once freezing weather arrives, and a clog caught early costs much less to clear. Houses with few or no trees do well with one visit a year in late fall. Lots near a busy road or active construction are on the shorter schedule too, since the dust settles into the gutter faster. Each visit ends with debris removal, so nothing is left sitting in the trough. Across Alabama, storm season brings Gulf hurricanes and tropical remnants, with Mobile Bay taking direct landfalls, and a gutter that is already full cannot take heavy rainfall. Residential and commercial buildings follow the same logic, and residential properties with few trees usually land on the once-a-year tier. Guards mean less frequent visits, but the surface still needs clearing.
Our crew does not give you a schedule from the road. Any local outfit can guess from the driveway, and we would rather walk it. Before you decide how often to clean your gutters, we go over the first visit with you, tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and put the photos of every run on your phone so you can see what we saw. Spring and fall visits give most lots a clean start for the rainy months, and the rest of the schedule follows from what the first visit shows us. The phone estimate covers stories and size, and the first visit confirms the tier.
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 Eufaula gutter cleaning crew works across Eufaula with the same crew in every neighborhood. Every homeowner gets the phone estimate before any crew is booked. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline. We will ask for the number of stories, a rough square footage and whether big trees hang over the gutters, and that is enough for a phone estimate. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send.
Lead time depends on the season, and our calendar tends to fill in the two busy windows of the year, spring and late fall. Booking early in those months is how you get your gutters on the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work, which is exterior only. Our cleanings cover the gutters and downspouts from end to end, and every cleaning and maintenance visit follows the same route. If you want to keep your gutters working through the rains, a regular gutter maintenance schedule is the easiest way to protect your home from water damage without thinking about it again until the next visit. The point is to keep rainwater away from your home.
We serve the surrounding areas the same way, from the same crew and the same process, and we flush every downspout on every visit. The gutter cleaning process is the same in every neighborhood we serve. If you have a question about gutter services before you book, ask when you call.
Our cleaning services in Eufaula are priced from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give the number by phone or text. It is the same number you pay on the invoice. We do not give a figure without those details.
Most of our customers book in spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Across Alabama, spring visits land in mid to late April, and fall visits here usually land in late November to December. If you wait past the first hard freeze, the water trapped at the eave can turn to ice, lift the shingles, and leave the fascia wet enough to rot. Booking before those months gives you the slot you want.
We do not promise same-day service. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the earliest open date on our calendar, then confirm it before the crew is scheduled.
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 inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water leaves at the outlet. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line that needs clearing, we tell you and price it separately before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. Under gutter guards we still find needles that slipped through, seed casings, landscape debris and grit sitting underneath, and once it gets wet the mat runs water off the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath and reseat them.
If the trough is clean and water still spills over the front edge, the cause is usually slope, capacity or downspout size, not what was sitting in the gutter. Send us a clip of it running over during a storm and we will tell you what it is. A second cleaning will not fix a slope problem, so we will not quote one.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
