Our own crew cleans gutters in Apache Junction, leaves the trough clean, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls the leaves and grit away, and sends you photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Apache Junction customers book in the spring and fall, and we keep those visits on the calendar for the whole year.
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 Apache Junction homeowner gets the same answer, and a clean number on the phone is easier to trust than a range. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but we quote the whole house so you know the total before we arrive. To get a number for your own house, call (866) 435-6328.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means a boom or scissor lift, and that changes the setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline at the back of the house. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed with leaves and debris that has compacted into grit, and that takes more time. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run of the gutter system. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter that has been left for a long time, the clog is usually at the elbow, where leaves pack into the turn and slow the water flow until the run backs up. A blockage like that can cause structural damage to the fascia or the wall below if it sits through the rainy season. Our crew clears the trough, then we flush every downspout so you can see where the water goes, and the gutters and downspouts are checked together before we leave. Clogged downspouts get cleared from the top first, so the flush has somewhere to send the water away from the foundation. On houses with heavy buildup we point out which runs need more attention on the next visit, so the job stays predictable. The point of the whole job is to protect your home from water damage, and a clean trough is how you get there. We have cleaned apache junction homes where the first visit was the hardest and the second visit took half the time, because the drainage was clear and the leaves were not building up behind it.
Residential and commercial properties get the same treatment, with a per-building number on the phone that is the number we bill, whether the gutters come out clean or packed.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
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 Apache Junction customers book two visits a year: a spring visit after the seed and pollen drop, which across Arizona tends to land in mid to late June, and a fall visit that runs from December to early January, after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings, a twig or two and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped that visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by the next season. Where a home has heavy tree cover, we see the gutter fill faster, and the customers in those houses are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. Residential properties with few or no trees in the landscape do fine with one visit a year in late fall. Homes with gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because leaves and debris sit on top of the guard and rot into a paste.
A clog is easy to catch early and hard to fix late, so a regular gutter cleaning service keeps it from starting, and when heavy rainfall hits a full trough, the water has nowhere to go but over the edge, and rainwater runs down the wall and under the roofline. Only a clean trough keeps it moving away from your home. We have pulled wet leaves out of gutters that had not been opened in two years and found the fascia behind them soft to the touch. If you want a specific date, call early and ask for an estimate and the next open slot.
Here is one pair from our Apache Junction AZ jobs. One home has no trees over the roof and is on a once-a-year late fall visit; the crew found the gutters clean and the downspout clear. A second home sits under heavy tree cover and is on a three to four month schedule; the crew found each downspout packed with needles and the elbows full of grit. Both are on the same route, and both got a photo report of every run. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and how often to clean your gutters from there.
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.

Our cleaning services run across apache junction, and the crew works from the nearest base. Apache Junction gutter cleaning is simple to book: give us your stories, your approximate square footage and whether there are trees over the roof, and send a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy. We quote over the phone or by text, and we call before we come, so you can stay on your schedule. For Apache Junction homeowners, the gutter cleaning process is one call, one visit and one photo report. Our calendar fills in the late spring and the late fall, so those are the windows to plan around. If a leak or an overflow has you worried, the quickest way to keep your gutters working is to call (866) 435-6328 and ask for the next open date.
Our crew is the same crew that handles our gutter services and gutter guards for the surrounding areas, so the process and the photo report are the same wherever you are. If you have more than one building, we can schedule them together. For cleaning and maintenance between visits, the simplest habit is to book the next of our cleanings before the last one has passed, so the schedule never lapses and every run stays clean.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we come out. We quote the whole job, so the total is what you see on the invoice. Every one of our cleaning services in Apache Junction is quoted the same way.
Our fall visits here run from December to early January, and across Arizona spring visits tend to land in mid to late June. If you wait past the fall visit, we find the leaf load packed into the downspout and the trough, and a run can sag by spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call to get your gutters on the schedule. If the landscape beds sit under the drip line, tell us and we will plan the ladder spots around them.
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, every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested. If a line runs underground, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. A guard is part of the gutter system, and under it we find needles, seed casings and roof grit that have packed together and blocked the water from getting in. We clear the surface, lift the panels, clean underneath and reseat the guards.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope or capacity problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we call you and agree on it before the crew starts, and the invoice matches the quote. Regular gutter maintenance keeps a clean run and a predictable bill from one visit to the next.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
