Our own crew cleans gutters here, with every run flushed and flow-tested, leaves bagged and hauled off, and 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 is over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Arizona the spring visit usually lands in mid to late June, and most of our customers book again in late December to January, so the calendar fills fast around those windows.
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 size, 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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place once you do the math, but we quote the whole house so you know the total up front.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or a sloped landscape that raises the effective height of the roofline, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with compacted leaves, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get in. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs here the gutter problems we see most are a run that has taken on water for a season, a rain gutter with buildup that has started to sag away from the fascia, and clogged downspouts that send water back toward the foundation instead of away from your home. We clean the gutter, flush each outlet until the water runs clear at the bottom, and check the drainage and water flow end to end. Sun City homes with heavy leaves and debris on the house often need a fuller check, and we tell you what we found before we leave.
Commercial properties in the area get quoted per building, and residential properties get the same whole-house quote that local homeowners hear on the phone. Our gutter cleaning services follow the same logic for structural damage: if a run is pulling loose, we photograph it and put it in the report rather than selling a repair. The goal is to keep water away from the building, and a clear gutter does that better than any sales pitch.
| 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 Sun City AZ customers book two cleanings a year. Across Arizona the spring window lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in late December to January, once the last leaves are down, which leaves the runs clean going into spring. In June the elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. By late December we are pulling wet leaves out of runs that have been holding water since the fall, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we sometimes find a gutter that has started to sag from the weight.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the interval that holds up, because a single twig, along with needles and grit, packs the outlets between visits. Few or no trees, and once a year in late fall is enough. Near a busy road or active construction, the rain gutter fills faster and the schedule tightens too. Rainwater that cannot drain sits in the trough and finds the first gap in the roofline, so the closer your gutter sits to dust and traffic, the sooner it needs a clog check.
Gutter guards change the schedule but do not eliminate it. We still clear the surface, because leaves and needles sit on top of the guard, and we still flush the outlets. Less often, yes, but you still need to clean your gutters, and the surface still gets checked. A blockage that goes unnoticed for a season is the most common reason we get called back out, and a regular gutter cleaning service stops that before it starts.
Here is how the schedule plays out on the ground. A customer with no trees over the house and little to shed books once a year and holds that schedule without trouble. A customer with heavy cover books every three to four months and stays on top of the debris removal. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutter, not on a generic guess.
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.
Sun City gutter cleaning is handled from our nearest base, which also covers the surrounding areas, so we are not driving across the valley to reach your street. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from the stories, the size of the house and the tree cover. If it is easy, send a photo of the front of the house, because it helps us see the layout before we arrive. Lead time varies with the season, and we confirm a date when you call.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, spring and fall: late spring when the seed drop is heavy, and late fall after the leaves come down. If you want to get your gutters done in those months, book early. We call before we come, and a homeowner does not need to be home for the visit, since our crew works outside and does not come inside.
If you are looking for a single company to handle the gutters and the glass on the same visit, we offer gutter and window cleaning for exterior glass, done in one trip. Gutters come first and the glass goes last, so the wall has time to drip off before anyone touches a window. We keep your gutters and downspouts clean, flush every downspout, and protect your home from water damage, including the slow leak that starts behind a clogged run.
Gutter services for residential and commercial properties here are scheduled the same way: quoted by phone, confirmed by text, and photographed before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what the job looks like.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters, and we quote it by phone or text. We do not give a figure on the web because a two-story house with heavy leaves and needles is a different job from one with a light load. Ask for a written estimate, compare it with any of the cleaning services in Sun City, and we send ours the same day.
Across Arizona the spring window lands in mid to late June, and our customers often book again in late December to January, once the last leaves are down. If you wait past those windows, the runs fill with wet leaves and the first ice can sit in the trough. Late spring and late fall are the windows we plan around, so we clean the runs before they back up.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day is not something we promise because the calendar is tight in the busy windows. Call (866) 435-6328 and we tell you the first open date.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process stays outside: the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and outlet reach your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush each outlet until it runs clean at the bottom and check where the water goes. Water left standing in a clogged trough soaks the fascia until the wood begins to rot. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. We tell you if the water is not leaving at the outlet.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs cleaning and maintenance. Leaves and needles sit on top of the guard, and a clog can form under it when grit settles in, so we clear the surface and flush the outlets. The schedule is less frequent, but gutter maintenance is not gone.
A gutter that is clean and still spilling water over the edge has a slope, capacity or drain size problem, not a debris problem. We do not sell a second cleaning for that. Send us a short video of it during heavy rainfall and we tell you what it is.
It should not. The price we quote is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
