Our own crew will clean gutters in Florence AL, and every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Everything is hauled off the property, not blown onto the lawn, and you get photos of every run on your phone. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Most local homeowners book in the spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the last leaves come down. Text a photo of the roofline if you want a quote before we talk.
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 sitting in the gutter system. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we would rather you know the full number up front. Florence homes with a long back run usually take more time than the front alone suggests.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a clog at every elbow and buildup packed with compacted leaf mat, and that adds time at the bottom of the job. A sagging run can hide structural damage behind the fascia, and the crew photographs it for the report. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too.
Downspout flushing, water flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job the house sat in a neighborhood with heavy tree cover. The back run had a sag, and the clogged downspouts were packed with leaves and debris. The crew flushed each downspout until the water ran clean at the bottom and photographed the sag for the file. The quote was the number on the phone, and that is the number on the invoice.
| 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 book twice a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Alabama, spring visits run mid to late April. Our fall visits run November to early December, and regular gutter cleaning in both seasons is what keeps a house off the repair list.
In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and a clog there stops the drainage cold. A blockage that size is the first thing the crew clears. In fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag or pull loose by the next rainy season, when the wet leaves have started to rot in place. Rainwater has nowhere to go, so it spills over the front edge.
Under heavy tree cover, visits come more often, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. With few or no trees, a fall visit is usually enough. Near a busy road or construction, plan on more frequent visits. Around here we get 58.5 inches of rain a year, and heavy rainfall lands hardest in February, March and December, which is when a blocked run shows first.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Good gutter maintenance is cheaper than replacing a rotted fascia board. If you want to clean your gutters yourself between visits, check the downspout first, since a clear downspout keeps water away from the foundation. If the gutter is backing up before the next visit, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see.
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 Florence AL from our own crew, on older houses and newer ones alike. Booking for any gutter cleaning service works by phone or text. Give us the stories, the rough size of the house, whether trees hang over the roof and whether you have gutter guards, and send a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. A twig jammed in an elbow gets pulled by hand, not blown out. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
Our calendar fills in the spring and fall windows, so book early. Across Alabama, spring visits run mid to late April, and our fall visits run November to early December. Outside those windows we can usually fit you in sooner. Most homes do fine with two cleanings a year, one in each season. We call before we come, and a homeowner does not need to be there for exterior work.
We are one crew, so we keep the route tight, and the same crew covers Florence and the surrounding areas. We clean residential and commercial properties with the same care, and the same people who quoted your home are the ones on the ladder. We clean gutters and downspouts as one job, and we flush every downspout before the gutter system is called finished, so water drains away from your home instead of sitting in the trough. If a seam shows a leak, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell the fix on the spot. Our gutter services work the same way on residential properties of every size, and that is how we keep your gutters working and protect your home from water damage in the rain.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text when you ask about cleaning services in Florence. We do not quote a range without knowing the house. Once you tell us the stories and rough size, you get the number, and that is what you pay.
Most of our customers book in late spring after the seed drop, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. If you wait longer, we usually find the runs packed and the downspout already slowing. Freeze risk is real here, so the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before winter water can freeze in the trough.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you need something sooner, ask us and we will get your gutters on the schedule as soon as the crew can. The gutter cleaning process stays the same whichever date you pick.
No. You can stay inside, and the crew will not come through the door. Photos of each gutter run and each downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. Each downspout is flushed and watched until water runs clear at the bottom, and if it is not leaving at the outlet we tell you. Anything past the outlet is quoted on its own before work begins.
Yes, though the job changes. Guards hold back the leaves, and what gets through is mostly needles, seed casings and grit that sits on top. We lift the surface clear and check that water is still getting in.
A rain gutter that runs clean and still spills at the edge usually has a slope or downspout-size problem rather than a clog. Sometimes the landscape around the downspout is what's sending the water over. Text us a clip of it raining, and we will say what it is. Our cleaning and maintenance visit covers the gutter itself, and we will not sell a second visit for a grade issue.
Florence gutter cleaning prices change only if something changes the job, and in that case you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
