Our own crew cleans gutters for local homeowners, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away and every run left clean, with photos before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the eaves, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have worked on gutters across Alabama, 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.
Our cleaning services in Oxford are priced from three things: how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but a single number from stories and size is easier to check against the house. To get your gutters priced, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs, a few things move the price. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves and grit that takes time to clear by hand. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clean underneath add a step. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included in the quote and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Your gutter cleaning process starts with the same questions for every homeowner: how many stories, how big the roofline is, how much tree cover hangs over the eaves, and when the gutters were last opened. Once we know that, we can price the job. On the day, the crew clears the run, flushes every downspout and carries the leaves away from your home, leaving a clean trough.
Keep in mind that a regular schedule is what keeps the cost of each of our cleanings low. Regular cleaning and maintenance picks up the seeds, twig pieces and grit before they pack the elbows, so a small leak at a joint does not turn into a wet fascia, and a spell of heavy rainfall finds the trough already clear, so each visit is a clean job rather than a dig-out. We tell you what your house needs at the first visit, and from there the gutter maintenance schedule is set by what we find, not by a sales pitch.
| 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: in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the last leaves come down and before the first hard freeze. The fall visit usually lands between November and early December. In spring the seed casings and pollen paste pack the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and water that sits in a full trough can rot the fascia and cause structural damage at the eave. Across Oxford AL, the gutter system takes the brunt of both seasons, and the landscape around the house decides how much of it lands in the trough. Rain runs about 52.1 inches a year here, with January through March the wettest months, so a clean system matters most going into the winter rains. Keep water away from the fascia and the eave.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the eaves, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the elbows between visits and a clean run does not stay clean. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall keeps the trough clean enough, since there are fewer leaves and debris to pack it. Commercial properties and buildings near busy roads or construction sit on the same tier as heavy tree cover. We handle gutter cleaning services across all of those properties, and we run residential and commercial jobs on the same schedule logic, so residential properties follow the same tiers.
The difference between tiers shows up in what comes out of the trough. A run with no trees near the eaves usually needs only a clean and a flush at each visit. Under heavy canopy, the rain gutter on the back side fills with needles between visits, and clogged downspouts are the first thing we check. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 crew works across Oxford AL as a gutter cleaning service, and we have left a clean run on a range of Oxford homes. Booking is simple: you give us the number of stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the eaves, and we quote the job by phone or text. A photo of the front of the house helps us check the roofline if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm a date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early keeps you from waiting. Outside those windows there is usually an open slot sooner. Whether you need to clean your gutters once or a regular gutter cleaning schedule, the process is the same: one call, one price, one date, debris removal included, and a set of photos when we leave.
Send a photo of the gutters with your message, and we can spot a clog, a sag or a buildup of leaves before we give you a number. We check water flow and drainage at the outlet on the day, too, and leave a clean trough when we go. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date.
For Oxford AL homes, the number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. We quote your house, and the estimate we give is the number you pay. Once we know the stories and the approximate square footage of the roofline, you have the figure before the crew arrives.
On our jobs most customers book in late spring and late fall. Waiting past the fall visit, usually November to early December, is where we see trouble, because the first freeze can lock the leaf mat in place, form a clog at the elbow and start ice dams at the eave, and rainwater has nowhere to go. Late spring catches the seed and pollen load before it packs the downspout elbows.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service in Oxford or the surrounding areas, so if you need a visit quickly, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what is open.
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. Every ladder gets stand-offs, which helps protect your home.
Yes. We clear the gutters and downspouts as one job: every downspout is flushed, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a line drains underground and a blockage stops the water at the end, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still get through and sit on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet it turns into a clog that the water runs over. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush every downspout and reseat the guards, which is how you keep your gutters working between visits.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, and catching it early keeps your home from water damage.
Only if the job changes, and if it does, you hear about it and agree to the new number before the crew starts. The number we quote over the phone is the number on the invoice for any of our gutter services, and we do not add charges after the work is done.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
