Our crew provides gutter cleaning services in Fairhope AL and leaves each run clean, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have done this work for homeowners here for years, and most of our customers book in spring and fall.
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. Every homeowner gets the same quote process: we price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs a few things move the quote. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run, so it sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down with compacted buildup that takes longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter on Fairhope homes we usually find a clog at the elbow, a sag where the hangers have loosened, a leak where two sections meet, and a clogged downspout that has been feeding the same blockage for a season. The houses where we have done gutter maintenance for the same owners over several years show the difference: regular gutter cleaning keeps water flow steady and keeps water away from the foundation, where it belongs. Ask us for a written estimate and we will walk you through each line.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number before anyone climbs up. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential and commercial work, from residential properties to commercial properties across the region, and every job is priced the same way. Gutters left to overflow can lead to structural damage over a few seasons, so a photo today is the quickest way to get ahead of it.

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.
Across Alabama, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop. Most of our customers book the fall visit in late November to December, after the last leaves are down. In April the downspout elbows look clean from the yard but are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next spring. A rain gutter that is full cannot move rainwater, and a clog or blockage at the elbow sends the water over the edge instead.
Under heavy tree cover, cleanings every three to four months is the schedule we see working, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. With few or no trees over the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough. In the surrounding areas, near a busy road or a construction site, the same faster schedule applies. Anything you can see sitting in the trough between visits is a sign to call sooner. Rain here comes to about 68 inches a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, when heavy rainfall tests every downspout, so ask us to flush every downspout and clean your gutters before that stretch.
Our crew can look at the gutter system and the roofline in each neighborhood we serve around Fairhope AL and tell you what it needs. Call (866) 435-6328 to set your first visit and get a written estimate. After that visit we will tell you which tier your lot actually needs. We keep your gutters and downspouts on the schedule that fits your house and the trees around it. That schedule is how you protect your home from water damage, and regular gutter services cost far less than fixing the structural damage a blocked trough causes over time.
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.
We clean gutters across Fairhope and the surrounding areas from our own crews, and each booking starts with a quote by phone or text based on stories, size and tree cover. Tell us about the landscape around the house when you call, because beds, shrubs and a dense canopy that drops twig and needle litter all change how the crew sets up. A photo of the front of the house helps us plan the job, and it takes a minute to send.
Lead time for our gutter services depends on the season, and a house with gutter guards needs a longer slot. The two busy windows on our calendar are the spring seed drop and the late fall leaf drop, and slots fill fastest then. Book early in those windows for regular gutter maintenance and you keep the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our crew works the Fairhope gutter cleaning process the same way on every job: the roof is checked, the gutters are cleared by hand, the crew will flush every downspout and check that the water drains away from your home, and the trough is left clean before the photos go to your phone. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 and we will find a date that works. Ask for a written estimate and you can compare it against anything else you have been quoted, because our cleaning and maintenance work is priced line by line.
The number comes from stories and size, and our cleaning services in Fairhope start with a quote by phone or text before anyone climbs a ladder. We do not quote a figure without knowing those two things. The number you hear is the number on the invoice.
Across Alabama, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, and most of our customers book the fall visit for late November to December. Waiting past the fall leaf drop is where we see problems, because the wet leaf mat turns into a clog and then into sag by spring.
Same-day depends on our calendar that week, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week during the quiet months.
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 any clogged downspouts get worked from the top until the water runs clear at the outlet. If a line drains underground and water is not leaving, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often, but they still need it. What we find under guards in a gutter system on our jobs is leaves and debris sitting on top of the guard and fine grit underneath. Once that mat is wet, rain runs over the front edge instead of into the trough, and a rain gutter that looks clean from the ground can still be full.
A gutter that is clean and still spills in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is and how to get the water away from the house. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, and a slope problem left alone can lead to structural damage and rot in the fascia over time.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear 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.
