Our own crew cleans gutters in Moody, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Alabama, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and falling leaves have just finished.
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 gutters. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted 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 once you do the math on a typical house.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and the lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and debris pressed into a compacted mat, and that takes longer than a light clean. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Each clean includes 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 about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is how it looks for a homeowner with a clog at the low end of a run on a Moody house. The gutter system fills, water sits, and the seams start to sag and leak, which is the first sign of structural damage. Once the buildup reaches the clogged downspouts, the water flow stops and the rain gutter spills over the front edge, often the same storm. Water that sits long enough leads to rot in the fascia board behind the trough. On our Moody homes we see this most where leaves and needles collect near the lowest bend. When we clean it out, we flush every downspout so the rain carries water away from your home the way it should.
Commercial properties follow the same logic but on a larger scale, and we quote those per building. For residential properties, the honest answer is that the number depends on your house and what we find when we get on the ladder. Ask us, and we will walk you through what is driving the figure.
| 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.
Across Alabama, most of our customers book twice a year, in mid to late April after seed and pollen drop, and in November to early December after the last leaves come down. On our Moody jobs, when we open a gutter in the spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and when we open one in the fall we find the wet leaf mat that the rainy season has been sitting on. Heavy tree cover and landscape beds change the schedule: needles, grit and the occasional twig pack the downspouts between visits, so those homes are on every three to four months. Few or no trees, one clean a year, in November to early December, is usually enough for most gutters.
Gulf storms and tropical remnants are part of the reason the gutter clog builds up quickly in this region. Heavy rainfall pushes leaves and grit into the gutter faster than a light season does, so the clog becomes a blockage sooner. A rain gutter that carries rainwater away from the foundation depends on the downspouts staying open. When the calendar gets full on a busy week, a call to book a gutter cleaning service is the fastest way to get on it. Check the estimate, pick the tier that matches your lot, and book the date, so you can clean your gutters before the calendar fills.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing, so you can keep your gutters on a schedule that fits. Most houses settle into a steady schedule after one season, and that is when the regular gutter cleaning stops feeling like a surprise. Think of it as gutter maintenance you can plan around, not a one-time scramble. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up that first visit and get your gutters on the calendar, or text us 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 Moody AL, covering the neighborhoods and the surrounding areas from the nearest base to keep the travel short. The gutter cleaning process starts when you tell us the number of stories, the approximate size of the house, and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the house front by text helps us quote it accurately. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us that photo, and we will confirm a date when you call.
Across Alabama, our Moody gutter cleaning calendar fills in two busy windows each year, mid to late April and November to early December, so booking early keeps the slot you want. Outside those windows we can usually fit one of our cleanings in sooner, and our cleaning services in Moody stay open for a quick call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Moody homeowners get the same process we run on every job: we handle residential and commercial jobs the same way, whether you have a single-family house or a commercial building, and we keep the photos of every run on file so you can check the work from your phone.
Many homeowners ask about gutter services beyond a clean, and we keep the scope tight on purpose: cleaning and maintenance, with nothing sold on the side. If we find something that needs more than cleaning, we photograph it and report it to you without pushing a sale. Every clean stays focused on gutters and downspouts, clearing them and helping you protect your home from water damage at the lowest cost to you.
The price for a gutter cleaning service on a two-story house is set by its square footage and what is in the gutters. We give you the number on the phone or by text, and it does not change when the crew arrives unless you approve a change first.
Most Moody homeowners book us for the same two windows that run across Alabama, mid to late April and November to early December, when the seeds and pollen drop and the leaves come down. Waiting until the gutters overflow usually means more buildup, a longer job, and a higher chance that water sitting at the edge starts to rot the fascia.
We can often clean within the week, and on busy weeks we confirm a date when you call. Text us a photo of the roofline if you want a faster answer on timing.
No, you do not need to be home. 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. A clean from us covers gutters and downspouts: we flush every downspout and check where it drains, including the underground lines we can reach from the surface. Flushing and flow testing are included. If a buried line needs clearing beyond that, we quote it separately before touching it.
Guards still need a clean as part of gutter maintenance, but less often. On our jobs we find leaves and grit sitting on top of the guard and needles working through it, so we clear the surface and check that water is still getting in. Guards cut the work down, but they do not remove the need for cleaning and maintenance.
If the gutters still overflow after we leave, send us a photo or short video in the rain. Usually that points to a slope problem rather than a clog, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a problem that a cleaning cannot fix.
The price does not change once the crew is on the roof unless something you approve first changes the job. Anything that alters the scope gets raised before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on your invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
