Our own crew cleans gutters for homes here, and our gutter services follow one routine on every job. Every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and grit are hauled off the property, and you get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Arizona, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we have been running that schedule long enough to know which houses need it.
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. This holds for Somerton homes and for commercial properties alike, and gutter cleaning services are priced the same way. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once you run the numbers on a real house, but it misses the things that cost time on the ladder. We would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk is what raises the quote most. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the house, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down as a packed mat of buildup, and a clog that size takes longer to clear than a normal season's load. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen drive quotes on our Somerton jobs. On one job, clogged downspouts at the elbow, leaves and debris packed into the trough and a sag in one run pushed water over the edge and into the fascia below, which is the kind of structural damage a simple clean would have prevented. The crew cleared the run, then we flush every downspout until the water runs clear at the bottom, and we check that the drainage carries the water away from the foundation before leaving. The quote went up because of the packed trough and the sag, and we explained both before we touched the ladder. For a rain gutter in that condition, the water flow is what tells you the job is finished.
| 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 two cleanings a year, and gutter maintenance in Somerton AZ follows the seasons. Across Arizona, our spring visits land in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit comes in November to December, after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and a pollen paste sitting in the bends of the drain pipes. In fall it is a different load: the leaf mat that has gone wet and packed into the trough, which is what backs water up behind the gutter and starts the rot in the board underneath.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees overhanging the house, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles, twigs and grit pack the outlets between visits and the clog builds faster than a seasonal schedule can keep up with. Houses near a busy road or active construction follow the same tighter schedule, since the grit settles fast. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Gutter guards change the work but not the need for a visit: the surface still gets cleared, and it can be done less often. Between visits, the aim is a clean trough, and that is what the schedule protects.
Across Arizona, a single monsoon cell can drop a lot of rainwater on the gutters in an hour, so a blockage you never noticed in a dry month will show itself fast. That is the reason to keep the calendar regular rather than waiting until you see water pouring over the edge. A leak that starts behind the fascia costs far more than a regular gutter cleaning, and a clear gutter sends rain away from your home, which is the first line of defense for the house. After a clean first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and you can clean your gutters on that schedule from then on. If you want a date, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see.
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.
We cover gutters and downspouts across Somerton as a whole, and the crew works out of the nearest base, so the list of nearby cities and suburbs at the bottom of this page is the place to check the wider area. The gutter cleaning process starts the same way every time: you get an estimate by phone or text from your stories, your square footage and your tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew leaves the gutters and the yard clean when they go.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows each year, one in spring and one in fall, so the earlier you book the better your chance of the date you want. Somerton gutter cleaning books up fast: call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule, or text us a photo of the gutters and we will confirm what the house needs. If you keep your gutters on a regular schedule, you protect your home from water damage over the years. Homeowners get the same attention whether the lot is big or small, and the surrounding areas get it too. Every homeowner gets the same crew.
We also handle gutter services beyond the cleaning itself, and cleaning and maintenance can go on the same visit, including exterior glass where the house calls for it. Our gutter services cover residential and commercial properties, and residential properties get the same crew and the same photos. If you have a question about the work or the schedule, the crew can answer it on the phone.
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 Somerton include downspout flushing and haul-off in that number.
Most of our customers book in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in fall after the last leaves. If you wait past the fall visit, what we find is a wet leaf mat that has packed into the trough and started to back water up. Under heavy tree cover, the schedule tightens to every three to four months. If you want to get your gutters on the calendar, book before the spring and fall windows fill.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and if a same-day visit is open we will tell you then.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside and 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, and the yard is left clean when the crew goes.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check the water at the outlet. Pipes that empty into a landscape bed get checked too. If a line runs underground and needs clearing past the outlet, that is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find pollen and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and fine grit underneath it, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over the front edge. Once the trough underneath is clean, the guard goes back on. The surface still needs clearing, though it can be done less often than an open gutter.
A gutter system that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall 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. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
