Our own crew cleans gutters in Yuma, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Yuma customers book in spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves have come down and the gutters are ready to be cleared.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
For Yuma homeowners, the price depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutter system. We give a written estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the run count is in. We give you one number up front, not a sequence of add-ons.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote on gutters and downspouts. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed with muck and grit, and that takes more time than a yearly clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add minutes on every run. We flush every downspout, check the water flow at each outlet, and handle debris removal as part of the quote, never as an extra, and the gutters come back clean. If something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Yuma homes follow the same pattern. Houses with the most trouble are the ones where a clog has been building for a season: clogged downspouts back water up at the elbow, drainage slows, the trough fills with buildup, and the runs begin to sag. A run left that way can rot the fascia and cause structural damage. On a recent job, a two-story house with heavy overhang had the back run pulled loose from the roofline by the weight of a soaked leaf mat. Cleaning and reseating it took one visit, and the quote matched the invoice. We see this in heavy rainfall months most of all. Residential and commercial work gets the same straight count: the stories, the footage and the mess in the gutters decide the number, for residential properties and commercial properties alike.
| 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 Yuma customers book twice a year, in spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Arizona, spring visits land in mid to late June, when seed casings and pollen paste have packed into the elbows. Across Arizona, fall visits run November to December, and by then the leaves and grit in the trough have turned into a wet mat before the winter rains. The landscape around the house sets the schedule. Under heavy tree cover, a single twig in the elbow can start a clog, so every three to four months keeps a clean run between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough to keep your gutters working. The fall visit also catches the rainwater that has been running behind a sagging run, before it becomes a roofline problem.
Calling it a schedule is one thing; watching it work is another. Our cleanings on a once-a-year plan will usually come back clean for a house with no trees. A house under heavy tree cover on every three to four months will have a clean downspout and a clean run at every visit, instead of a blockage that goes unnoticed until the eave starts to leak. Yuma AZ averages 3.2 inches of rain a year, with its wettest months in January, March and December, so a run that is blocked going into those months does the most damage. The difference shows up in the photos, and the photos are the record. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, whether that is regular gutter cleaning on a fixed plan or a lighter gutter maintenance schedule. Either way, cleaning and maintenance go together, and both protect your home from water damage. Whether you clean your gutters once a year or every few months, the quote is set before the truck rolls.
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 crew works across Yuma AZ and clears the gutters on the houses in the neighborhoods we have done before, including the homes in the surrounding areas. We cover the city from the nearest base, so you do not need to be in the core to book a slot. A clean gutter sends water away from your home, which is the whole point of the visit. Yuma gutter cleaning on a house with gutter guards books the same way; tell us about the guards, since lifting and reseating them adds time to each run. You can get your gutters on the schedule by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the front of the house, along with the stories and the approximate size. We give a quote from those three things and confirm the date when we call back.
Yuma homeowners book through a few busy windows: late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fastest and the lead time stretches. Outside those windows slots come up sooner. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit, which leaves the yard as clean as we found it. If you want the full sequence of what happens on the day, that is the gutter cleaning process from first call to final photo, and our gutter services follow that same sequence whether you are a homeowner or running a building.
For Yuma gutter cleaning on a two-story house, or a commercial property with the same stories and footage, the number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details.
Late spring and late fall are the windows most of our customers use. If the gutters wait past the fall visit, the leaves and debris sit as a wet mat through the rains, and a clogged run can start to sag and rot the fascia by winter, which is structural damage nobody wants to pay for.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. Same-day visits depend on the day, so ask when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. We work outside, we do not come inside, and we send photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see the clean result. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check the drainage at each outlet, including the underground lines where we can see the outlet. Clearing a buried line is quoted separately, so you know before anyone touches it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still collects needles, a twig or two, seed casings and grit on top of the guard. How fast it fills depends on the landscape around the house. We clear the surface, flush the downspouts and reseat the guards so the gutters stay clean. We do not sell guards as a product or install them.
A rain gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, because our cleaning services in Yuma cover the clearing and the downspouts, not grading.
The price you hear 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 work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
