Our own crew keeps gutters clean for Phoenix homeowners and will flush every downspout, check the flow, haul the leaves away, and take 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 hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we can usually tell you what your lot needs before we ever climb a ladder.
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 how much is sitting in the gutter system. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place once you run the numbers, but the per-foot math hides what actually drives the job on Phoenix homes.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually what the crew finds once it is up there. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that changes the setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot changes the drainage on the back run and raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out with a buildup of packed leaves, and a clean gutter line takes far less time. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on the same visit.
Flushing the gutters, checking the water flow, and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. The crew leaves your yard clean, and every run is checked to carry water away from your home, not spill it at the front edge. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice. A gutter that still shows sag, a seam that has pulled loose or a run that drains badly is photographed and reported, and we tell you plainly what the photo shows.
On the experience side, our crew has seen how the same house can come out very differently depending on the trees and the lot. Our gutter cleaning process starts with the stories and the size, and we are not going to promise a number before we know them or pad a quote with add-ons. We aim for a clean invoice that matches the quote, and the phone call or the text with the house front is how we start.
| 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 book regular gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and fall. Across Arizona, the spring visit falls in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop finishes, and the fall visit falls in November to December, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in June we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows where the water turns. In the fall it is leaves and debris, a wet mat of leaves and the grit that washes down off the roof.
On houses that skip the fall visit, the first real rain of the season is where the trouble shows up. Water runs over the front edge instead of into the outlet, and the fascia behind the run starts to take the damage. Across Arizona, monsoon storms bring heavy rainfall. A single cell can put a lot of rainwater into a rain gutter in about an hour, and a gutter that was already full has nowhere for it to go. A blockage at the outlet turns one bad storm into a ceiling leak, so it pays to clean your gutters before the season turns.
The tiers, as we see them on our jobs. Twice a year covers most residential and commercial properties. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site where grit and dust blow in, the schedule moves to every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the elbows between visits. With few or no trees overhead, once a year in the fall is enough. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, but we still clear the surface and keep the outlets clean on the same schedule, since a clogged gutter is where structural damage starts.
Our crew can give you a straight answer on which tier your lot actually needs, and the same goes for residential properties of any age. After the first visit we tell you which tier fits, and we do not add visits you do not need. That is the whole gutter maintenance plan, and a clean gutter is cheaper to keep than to fix. It works for Phoenix AZ houses.
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.
Phoenix gutter cleaning starts with one call. Our crew works from the nearest base and covers the surrounding areas across Phoenix as the calendar allows. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, roughly how big the house is, and whether trees hang over the roof. We give you the quote on the spot, and the number holds when the crew arrives.
Lead time varies with the season, and the spring and fall windows fill first. Book early in those months and you will have a better choice of days, and a gutter cleaning service that fits your calendar. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit, since the work is done from outside the house. Regular cleanings from one visit to the next are what keep the schedule short.
If you have been putting off a visit because the gutters look fine from the street, a photo of the front of the house is usually enough for us to tell you whether a visit is worth it. We offer gutter services that cover cleaning and maintenance, because it is cheaper to protect your home from water damage than to repair a rotted fascia board and a leak in the ceiling. We would rather you keep your gutters clear now than come back to us later.
Our cleaning services in Phoenix are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing those two things, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the price from there.
Most customers book in spring and fall, after the seed and pollen drop and again once the last leaves are down. Wait past the fall window and the leaf mat packs the gutter, so the visit takes longer and the risk of overflow goes up.
We confirm the exact date when you call, so tell us how soon you need it and we will check what the crew has open.
As a homeowner, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and leaves the lawn clean, then sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush gutters and downspouts, and every outlet is checked until the water runs clean at the bottom, well clear of your landscape. If an underground drainage line is not clearing, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under guards we still find seeds, needles and grit sitting on the surface, and clogged downspouts still happen over time. The guard reduces how often the trough fills, but the surface and the outlets still need the same check.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in the rain usually has a slope or drain-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning.
It should not, unless the crew finds something that changes the job. If it does, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the invoice comes back clean and matched to the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
