Our own crew cleans gutters in Trussville, 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 in the gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and the buildup are what really set the job.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run a long way up, and gutters nobody has opened in years. A heavy clog of compacted leaves and grit takes longer to clean out than a light one, and a run that has been holding water for seasons can show sag that we have to reseat. Guards we have to lift and put back add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Alabama, the homes we clean span a wide range of ages and layouts. The drainage and water flow check is the same on each one, and we clean out the outlet before we leave. On a recent Trussville job, the price rose because the crew found a buildup of seed casings and wet leaves in the back run that had let the gutter pull slightly away from the roofline; we flagged it and photographed it before cleaning. The trussville homes we see most often have the same pattern, so we check for it on every visit. Most trussville homeowners ask what the quote covers, and the answer is the full run. Our gutter cleaning services cover the leaves and debris work only, and we do not quote the commercial properties side on this page. Where the rain gutter system has clogged downspouts, the water sits and can cause structural damage, which is why we clean them fully so the water goes away from the house.
| 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 Trussville book twice a year, in the spring after seed and pollen drop and in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Alabama, the same pattern holds: spring and fall are when the gutter system takes the most load. February, March and June are the wettest months in Trussville, so heavy rainfall is when a clog shows first. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, which is the most common clog we clean out. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we often see a run that has pulled loose from the fascia line by winter, with the wood behind it starting to rot.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and the rainwater backs up at the roofline. Where there are few or no trees, once a year in November or early December is enough. Some homes sit near a busy road, under a heavily planted landscape, or near construction, and those get the shorter interval because dust and grit build up fast. A blockage in the outlet is the thing to watch for, and we clean it out on every visit.
Ask for a written estimate when you call, and we will tell you which tier your lot needs. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the runs and at the outlets. Call us to book a date, and tell us how many trees are over the house so the trussville al visit is scheduled right, or text a photo of the roofline. Our gutter cleaning service is set up for spring and fall visits, and it is also how most residential and commercial owners keep to a schedule. We are glad to clean your gutters on any interval you choose, and the debris removal is part of every visit. A regular gutter cleaning routine is the simplest way to avoid the problems that show up later, and it keeps the residential properties in good order and water away from the fascia between major jobs.
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 covers the neighborhoods across trussville from the nearest base, and we work the streets we have already cleaned so the route stays tight. Booking works the same way everywhere: call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we price from stories, size and tree cover, with a photo of the house front if that is easy for you. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. A homeowner who texts the roofline gets the estimate in a few minutes, and we confirm the date when we talk.
Across Alabama, our calendar fills in two busy windows, mid to late April and November to early December, so booking early in those months helps. Gutter guards and guard-covered runs are cleaned the same way, with the surface cleaned off and the outlets checked, and our gutter guards notes are part of the quote. A twig or a leak at a joint is the sort of thing we photograph and report, not something we repair on the visit. We come back each season to cleanings the runs that need it, and we keep records so the next visit starts where the last one stopped.
Trussville gutter cleaning is a regular part of our schedule, and we cover the trussville gutter cleaning side of the work with the same crew each time. We aim to protect your home from water damage by keeping the runs clean, and the gutters and downspouts get the same attention on every visit. Our work reaches the surrounding areas from the same base, and we plan routes so you hear from us on the day we said. Regular gutter maintenance is what keeps a single clog from becoming a bigger job. To get your gutters through the season without trouble, the flush every downspout step is the one that matters most. Our cleaning and maintenance visits follow the schedule you pick, and every visit ends with the water away from the fascia and the foundation. A single clogged run can lead to a home from water damage problem that is far more costly than a cleaning, and that is why we offer our gutter services on a clear schedule.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Our cleaning services in trussville are priced from the same three things for every house, and we do not quote a figure until we know the house.
Across Alabama, the spring visit runs in mid to late April and the fall visit runs from November to early December. If you wait past those windows, trussville homeowners tend to see a heavier buildup, and the visit takes longer.
Most slots come up within the week, and our gutter cleaning process starts with a call to confirm a date.
No. A homeowner can stay inside the whole time. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the outlet, and we clean the debris out of the elbows as we go. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before anyone starts.
Yes. On our jobs under guards we find a surface mat of needles, grit and seed casings, and if that mat is not cleared the water runs over the front instead of heading away from your home.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope or pipe-size problem, and a second cleaning will not fix that. Send us a photo of it during heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and then you hear it and agree before work starts. If you want to get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
