Our own crew gives your gutters a clean across Benton AR, flushes and flow-tests every run, and sends photos of each one before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 for a phone quote built from your stories, your home's size and the tree cover over the house, and the number we give you is the number on the invoice. Homeowners here book in the spring and fall, and we treat every gutter system as if it were our own.
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 what is sitting in the gutters. We quote residential and commercial properties the same way, over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Benton homes differ, so every quote starts from the house itself. Some companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is multiplied out, but on our jobs the quote is built from the house as a whole rather than one measurement.
Four things move the number on our jobs. A third story or a steep roofline that cannot be walked changes how the crew works the run. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave, so the back run sits farther up than the front. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes down with a twig or two and leaves and debris packed in, which takes longer to clear, and guards we have to lift and reseat take time on their own. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs the gutter work that runs longest is the rain gutter where a clog has been building for seasons. We open a gutter full of packed leaves, seeds and grit, and the buildup sits against the entry until the water flow stops. Clogged downspouts, not the trough, are usually the cause. Once the trough is clean and the line is flushed, we check that the outlet carries water away from the foundation, because a run that dumps into a pile at the base of the wall is a slow leak waiting to become water damage, and where a sag has started we photograph it and put it in the report, since a sag can turn into structural damage and we do not do repair work.
The homes we clean span the range from a single-story ranch to a tall two-story, and the cases below show what moved the quote for one homeowner on one of them. The neighborhood, the stories, the tree cover and what we found are all on the job record, and each one links to the full write-up.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $165 | from $215 | from $280 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $190 | from $250 | from $325 |
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 twice a year. Across Arkansas, the spring visit falls in late April to May, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs November to early December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is a wet leaf mat, and where a house skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged under ice by March.
Benton gets about 53 inches of rain a year, and March, April and May are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall and the rainwater behind it find any clog fast. Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, the schedule tightens to every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and a blockage forms before the drainage backs up. A home with few or no trees does well on one visit a year in late fall. Guards change the picture a little, since they keep the big debris out, but the surface still needs clearing and the clog still forms underneath, so guarded gutters are visited less often but still need a clean.
The first visit is the one that tells us what your lot needs on residential properties like yours. After we have seen the gutter line and checked the outlets, we can say which tier fits, twice a year, once a year or every three to four months. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps the gutters clean through the spring rain, and calling us to get your gutters quoted is the easiest way to find that out.
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 the surrounding areas, and we clean the same way wherever the house is. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text for a quote built from your stories, your home's size and the tree cover over the house. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Once the date is set, we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early keeps your preferred date. Outside those windows the lead time is usually shorter. Our process is the same on every visit, and we will tell you the earliest date on the phone rather than promising one we cannot keep.
If you want us to keep your gutters on a schedule, the visit tiers are simple to set up, and the crew will flush every downspout on each visit so the water keeps moving and the trough stays clean through the summer storms. Regular upkeep is the simplest gutter maintenance you can buy, and scheduled cleanings are what help protect your home from water damage. Tell us how many stories the house has and how much tree cover there is, and we will build the plan from there.
A visit covers the gutters and downspouts together, and our gutter cleaning services follow the same steps on every house. Benton gutter cleaning is the cleaning and maintenance check all the way to the outlet, not a quick scoop to make the trough look clean, and the gutter services we offer are priced the same way as the rest of this page. Ask us for the number on the phone, and it is the number we charge.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range on the page because two-story homes differ a lot in roof pitch and tree cover. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Most of our customers book twice a year. Across Arkansas the spring visit falls in late April to May, and the fall visit runs November to early December. Heavy rainfall in March, April and May is when a clog shows first, so get your gutters on the calendar before the wet months. Waiting past the fall visit is how the runs end up sagging by March.
Our cleaning services in Benton are booked from the earliest open date, and we confirm it when you call. Most slots come up within the week outside the busy windows. We will not promise a same-day visit we cannot keep.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process runs outside only: the crew does not come inside and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep the landscape clear of cars along the drive, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every run is flushed as part of the cleaning and maintenance visit, and we check that the water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, gutter guards still need a visit, because needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of them and in the trough underneath. Guards keep the big leaves out, so the visit is shorter, but we still clear the surface and check the flow.
If a clean gutter still spills over the edge in rain, the cause is usually slope, capacity or the downspout size rather than debris. We send you photos of what we see and tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, because that leaves water running back toward the wall instead of away from your home.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
