Our own crew cleans gutters in Flagstaff, and the job is more than scooping out the trough. We flush every downspout and flow-test it before we leave, so the water actually leaves the house. Leaves and mess get hauled off, not blown onto the lawn, and you get photos of every run before the truck pulls away. When we leave, the runs are clean and the water runs clear at every outlet, and that is what you are paying for.
The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a time to get your gutters cleaned, which is the easiest way to protect your home from water damage.
Most of our Flagstaff homes book in the spring and fall, and we have run this crew on that schedule long enough to know what a clog looks like by the time we open the gutters.
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. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Debris removal is built into that number. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, but we would rather give you one number for the whole job.
On our jobs, a few things push the quote up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the lift and more care on the ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed solid, and that takes longer to clear. A clog that has sat through a season of heavy rainfall often means a sag in the run as well. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. A leak at a seam or poor drainage in the gutter system gets checked before we clear anything, because it changes what the job needs. Downspout flushing, water flow checks and haul-away are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our Flagstaff jobs. One home with several trees over the roof took longer than the front-of-house photo suggested, because the leaf mat sat two inches deep in the back run and the outlets were packed to the elbow. Once we explained that and sent photos of each run, the homeowner had the full picture before we started, and by the end of the visit the runs ran clean. We bagged the debris and hauled it away from your home, so nothing was left on the surrounding areas. The first thing we ask for is a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and the rough square footage.
Flagstaff gutter cleaning services are priced the same way we price anything else on our jobs: from what we will actually find up there. Spring and fall visits are where most of our customers land, because the seeds, the pollen and the leaf load each arrive on their own schedule, and a regular gutter cleaning keeps the buildup from getting ahead of the crew. Think of it as gutter maintenance, not a rescue. Residential and commercial jobs both get that kind of planning. If the gutters are overflowing now, clean your gutters once to reset them, then decide how often you need 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 Flagstaff customers book twice a year, once across Arizona in mid to late June after the seed and pollen drop, and again from late September to October after the last leaves come down. In spring the downspout elbows pack with seeds, seed casings, pollen paste and the odd twig. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, mixed with leaves and debris from the last storms, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have opened runs in the spring that sagged under the weight of it. Once a gutter sags, water sits in the low spot and the clog gets worse every storm. A clean run carries water away from the house, and a sagging one holds it. Rainwater that cannot leave the roofline by the downspout will find another way out, usually along the fascia, and the fascia is where the rot starts. Our crew checks the gutters and the drop pipes together, because a blockage in one shows up as an overflow at the other.
To keep your gutters moving under heavy tree cover, book every three to four months, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits and the blockage builds faster than a twice-a-year schedule can catch. Clogged downspouts back water up into the gutter, so the runs overflow long before anyone looks up. A rain gutter that cannot drain will spill over the front edge in the next storm, and water that sits behind a sagging run can cause structural damage to the fascia and soffit. Regular visits also protect your home from water damage at the fascia and the foundation. In the surrounding areas, a busy road or a construction site puts the same grit in the gutters. With few or no trees on the lot, once a year in late September to October is usually enough. Between visits, a clean gutter is the first defense you have. If you have gutter guards, we still clean the surface and check the flow underneath, and the visits run less often.
A customer with no trees on the lot books once a year, late September to October, and the crew is in and out with the roofline clear before the first hard frost. A customer under the trees books every three to four months, and the crew flushes every downspout and finds them flowing clean each time, because the gutter never got the chance to fill. Our gutter services on those two schedules are priced by the stories and the lot, not by the calendar. Our cases on those two schedules are linked where they apply to your neighborhood.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Until then, the safest move is to book the spring visit and let us open the gutters before the season makes the call for you. Ask for an estimate when you book, and we give it by phone or text. Many homes start with two cleanings a year and adjust 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.
The whole city and the towns around it, booked by phone or text from the nearest crew.
Flagstaff gutter cleaning covers the town and the surrounding areas, and we work across Flagstaff from the nearest base to keep travel time down. Booking for any Flagstaff AZ home starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: give us the stories, the rough square footage and whether trees hang over the roof. Our gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, and every one of our cleaning services in Flagstaff is priced before the crew climbs. A photo of the front of the house helps, but it is not required. Lead time depends on the week, so when you call we will tell you the first open slot and confirm the date with you. The busiest stretches are mid to late June across Arizona, and late September to October here in Flagstaff, when homeowners see the seed drop and the leaf drop and call the most, so booking early in those windows gets you the day you want. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule before the seed drop, call early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Cleaning and maintenance visits run the same way for every home. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Every visit leaves the gutters clean, and everything is bagged and carried away from your home. If heavy rainfall is in the forecast, tell us when you book and we will try to move the visit up if the slot allows. We work around the landscape, and if a gutter is clean and still overflowing, that is a slope problem, and we will say so rather than sell a second cleaning.
Q: What does gutter cleaning cost for a two-story house in Flagstaff? A: The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Our cleaning services in Flagstaff are quoted that way for every home, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice. We will not give you a range here, because the real number depends on what is in your gutters and the roofline.
Q: When should I clean my gutters in Flagstaff? A: Most of our customers here book in late September to October, and commercial properties in town follow the same calendar. Freeze risk is real in this city, so if the fall visit gets skipped, the first ice can lock the runs and cause sagging by March. Leaves and debris left in the trough hold water through the freeze, and that water can rot the fascia and cause structural damage before spring. A clean gutter going into winter is the whole point of the fall visit.
Q: Do you offer same-day gutter cleaning in Flagstaff? A: Lead time depends on the week for every Flagstaff AZ home. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. If you want to get your gutters done this week, call (866) 435-6328.
Q: Do I need to be home? A: No. Our crew works outside 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. To keep your gutters in better shape between visits, rake the leaves off the roof edge, but you do not need to be home for the cleaning itself.
Q: Do you flush every downspout and check where it drains, including underground lines? A: Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and the runs are left clean. A clogged downspout is where water sits first, so that one gets cleared first. Every downspout has to carry water away from the foundation, so that is what we check. If a line drains underground, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not; clearing a buried line is quoted separately before anyone starts.
Q: If my gutters have guards, do they still need cleaning? A: Yes. Gutter guards keep the leaves out, but the needles, seeds and grit sit on top and mat when wet, so we clean the surface and check the flow underneath.
Q: What happens if the gutters still overflow after you leave? A: Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. A rain gutter that is clean and still overflowing has a slope or downspout-size problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell a second cleaning.
Q: Will the price change once the crew is on the roof? A: Haul-away is in the quote, so the price only changes if something changes the job, and you hear about 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.
