Our own crew cleans gutters in Bentonville, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave so you can see the yard left clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work across Arkansas with spring and fall as our busiest windows, and most of our Bentonville customers book in those same months.
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 you a written estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house it is the stories and the debris that decide the time on the ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift and more setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has kept clean in years come down packed with compacted leaf mat, and guards we have to lift and reseat add their own minutes. A run that has sat full for years may also have rot behind it, and that repair is quoted separately. Downspout flushing, water flow testing and drainage checks are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, the houses that move the quote most are bentonville homes under heavy tree canopy, where a clog can build from seeds, needles and grit faster than the gutter looks. Those houses usually book on a shorter schedule, and the debris removal takes the most time on them. Our regular gutter cleaning visits are priced to include the full run and the flush, so the sag and buildup you can not see from the driveway get dealt with at the same visit. Gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial properties follow the same logic, and residential properties with heavy cover are the most common case we see. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, a clean shot of the roofline is enough, and we can usually tell you the number on the same call.
| 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.
Across Arkansas, most of our customers book two cleanings a year, in late April to May after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late October to November after the last leaves are down. In spring we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaves and debris that fill the trough, and because Bentonville sees snow in January, February, March and December, the runs that skipped the fall visit are the ones that sag or pull loose by March. A rain gutter left full over winter is how a clog turns into rainwater over the edge and onto the roofline, and then into structural damage at the fascia. Get it clean before the cold sets in, because that is how you protect your home from water damage through the winter.
Under heavy tree cover in Bentonville AR, with big trees over the house, we see a blockage build between visits from twig litter, seed and pollen, and clogged downspouts are usually where it shows first, especially after heavy rainfall, so those houses are on every three to four months. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Gutter guards cut gutter maintenance visits, but the surface still needs clearing, because the mat that sits on top of the guard is where the water stops getting in. Even a gutter that looks clean from the ground can hold a clog, and when we open one here in May we find the first sign of a problem before it reaches the fascia, which is the case for keeping on schedule.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Gutters and downspouts get checked on the same call, and the photos go to your phone, so you can review the condition whenever you like. Ask us then about gutter services that carry water away from the foundation and the surrounding areas. Keep your gutters running clean and flush every downspout, and the rest of the house has a much easier year.
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.
The crew covers homes across Bentonville from the nearest base, and every homeowner starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Tell us the stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a clean photo of the house front if that is easy. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew sets ladder stand-offs and protects the landscape beds before anything goes up. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we confirm a date when you call rather than promise one before we have looked. Mention any leak you already see, since it changes the visit.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, late April through May and late October through November, so booking early in those months gets the slot you want. Outside those windows the crew usually has room sooner. Whatever month you book, get your gutters clean and on a schedule, and let us handle the cleaning and maintenance, the ladder setup and the flush, so the water runs away from your home. That is the whole gutter cleaning process, and our cleaning services in bentonville run the same way on every call we take.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, quoted by phone or text. Our cleaning services in Bentonville are priced that way, and we give you a written estimate before we schedule, so that is what you pay.
Our customers here book late spring and late fall, and most homes do well with two cleanings a year. If you wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat and any early ice can leave runs sagging by March.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week, and we confirm the date when you call. Most slots come up within the week.
No. The crew works outside, leaves the yard clean, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside, and we protect the shrubs and landscape beds before any ladder goes up.
Yes, every downspout in the gutter system is flushed until the water runs clean at the outlet, and we confirm the water flow is leaving there. Clogged downspouts that feed a buried line get checked at the outlet, but clearing the buried line itself is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs gutter guards keep most leaves and debris out, but the needles and grit settle on top of them and wet into a mat, so we still clear the surface and check the flow.
A clean rain gutter that still spills in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for it.
It should not. If we find rot or something else that changes the job, we call you and agree on it before work starts, and it is never added to the invoice after. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get your written estimate.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
