Our own crew comes out to clean your gutters in Catalina Foothills, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the waste hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Our gutter cleaning service prices from your stories, your home's size 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 Catalina Foothills customers book in the spring and the fall, and we are glad to give you a firm date.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Catalina Foothills gutter cleaning depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give a firm estimate 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 once the run is counted, but we would rather you know the total before anyone climbs a ladder. Once the run is clean, the invoice shows the same number we named on the phone.
What moves the number on our jobs is usually the same handful of things. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more safety setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline at the back of the house. Gutters that nobody has opened in years hold compacted leaves and debris that takes longer to clear, a run that has started to sag takes longer to get the water moving again, and guards we have to lift and reseat add a step. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Catalina Foothills work, a house with heavy tree cover and a packed run of gutters is a different job from a single-story home with little overhead canopy, even at similar square footage. The first costs more because the buildup has to come out before the water flow can be checked. Where we see a clog that has been building for a season, the blockage tends to sit in the elbows, and clogged downspouts are often why rainwater backs up. The crew clears it by hand so the downspout drains water away from your home, and once the gutter is clean the flow gets checked again. Our Catalina Foothills homeowners do not all need the same treatment, and that is why each one gets its own estimate. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the crew can usually tell us how many stories and what the gutter run looks like before the visit.
| 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 customers settle on two cleanings a year, the regular gutter cleaning schedule, one in the spring and one in the fall. Spring cleaning is for after the seed and pollen drop, when we open a gutter and find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. Fall cleaning is for after the last leaves come down, before the rains settle in, and it is the visit that keeps the wet leaf mat from sitting in the trough all winter. Across Arizona, monsoon storms can drop a lot of water in an hour, so a clean trough matters before the wet months.
Under heavy tree cover, plan a visit every three to four months, because needles, the odd twig and grit pack each downspout between visits. Near a busy road or active construction the same schedule holds, since the grit collects faster than leaves do. A lot with few or no trees and a simple landscape is fine on a once-a-year schedule in late November to December, and a clean gutter there rarely needs more. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared, because the debris that lands on top of the guard turns to paste and rain runs over it.
The first visit is when we learn what your lot really needs. We walk the run, flush each downspout and check where the water is going, then tell you which of these tiers fits. Anything that looks like a rain gutter problem beyond cleaning, a hanger pulled loose or a seam that is starting to leak, gets photographed and included in the report, so you know what we saw and whether the rest of the run is clean. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the gutter maintenance calendar follows from that. When you are ready to clean your gutters, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the gutter run, and we will hold a spring or fall date for you.
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 gutter cleaning services cover the gutters and every downspout on homes large and small. Our crews provide cleaning services in Catalina Foothills and the surrounding areas for residential properties, and every one of our gutter services is priced from the same details. Residential and commercial inquiries both start with a phone call. To get your gutters cleaned, start with an estimate by phone or text from your stories, your home's size and your tree cover, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Lead times depend on the week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Our calendar fills in the busiest spring and fall windows, so booking early keeps you from waiting.
When we arrive, we call before we come and nobody needs to be home. The crew works outside and does not come inside, so the job is quick to plan around. If you want to keep your gutters clean, schedule a slot before the first big monsoon storm across Arizona, because heavy rainfall is when a clog shows its weak spot. Our goal is to protect your home from water damage before it starts, and the crew can flush every downspout and check the drainage across the whole gutter system while they are there. Our gutter cleaning process runs the same way every time: a call, a quote, a visit, then photos. Ask about commercial properties when you call, since this page is about homes. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will hold a date for you.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a range without those details, because a two-story house with heavy tree cover can take a very different amount of time from one with little overhead canopy. Once the gutters are clean, the number on the invoice matches the number on the phone.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in the fall after the leaves are down. If the fall visit is skipped, we often find sagging runs, rot in the fascia at the eave and structural damage from ice the following spring on houses that waited too long.
Same-day depends on the week, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we will give you the first open window. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will check the calendar with you.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. A homeowner does not need to take the day off, but leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and the crew checks that the water is leaving at the outlet. Water running clean at the outlet is the test. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Gutter guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, but on our jobs they keep leaves out while needles, seed casings and grit settle on top, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it. The surface still needs to be cleared, though the visits are often less frequent, and a clean surface is what keeps the water moving.
A gutter that is clean and still sends water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. This gutter cleaning service estimate is set before the crew climbs up. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
