Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts for a homeowner here, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it before we leave, and leaves every run clean. The clutter comes off in bags and goes with the truck, and you get photos of every run before we pull away. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our work in the area is booked in spring and fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf load are at their heaviest.
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. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but the total is what you will pay, so ask for the whole figure.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a pitch too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up from the ground, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with old grit and seed mat, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can reach the trough. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are part of the job and are never billed as extras. If something we find changes the work, you hear it before we start, never on the invoice.
On our jobs here the clog usually builds in the same places: the bends at the bottom of the pipe, where drainage backs up first, the low sections where a gutter sag holds water, and the first run under a tree line where buildup from seeds and needles turns into a blockage. Clogged downspouts get flushed first on every visit. Heavy tree cover and steep pitches raise the time on the ladder, which is why we confirm the scope on the phone before we book. Whatever the house looks like, we will tell you what it needs and why before anything is scheduled.
Jacksonville homes vary a lot, and so does the leaves and debris load from one lot to the next. Some gutters only need a clean run and a flush, while others have a rain gutter system that has been clogged long enough to cause structural damage at the fascia line. We see both, and the photos we send after the visit show you which kind yours is. Once the runs are clear, the flow carries water away from your home. This quote is for residential properties, and commercial properties are quoted on their own. The quote covers what we can see and reach, and we say so plainly when a section needs a closer look.
| 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.
The question we hear most is when to clean your gutters here, and the answer depends on the trees. Most of our customers here book two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Arkansas, the spring visit usually falls late April to May, and in Jacksonville the fall visit lands late November to December. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seed casings and pollen paste. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we find runs that have pulled loose by late winter. The wettest stretches come in spring and late in the year, so the rainwater has more to carry when the gutter is already full.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a landscape project or construction where grit collects, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the elbows between visits and a single season is too long. With few or no trees over the roofline, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards slow the buildup but do not remove the need to clear the surface, so they change the schedule less than people expect. Residential and commercial gutters clog the same way, since leaves and grit do not check the property type. Skip a season and a full trough turns a small leak into wood rot in the fascia, which is why cleaning and maintenance on a fixed schedule is easier to plan than a repair.
When we open a gutter here in May we find the seed heads and pollen paste sitting in the elbows, and when we open one in November we find the leaves and grit that the rain has been pushing into the bends all season. Whether it is May or November, a gutter that has gone a season without a clean will show it. Here it gets about 53 inches of rain a year, and heavy rainfall in April, May and December is when the clog shows up fast after a storm. Snow is light here, about 3.8 inches a year in January and February, so the load in the trough comes mostly from rain and leaves.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the next visit date in the photo report so the schedule is written down. Most homeowners settle into a rhythm within a year once they see how clean the runs stay between visits.
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 clean gutters for homeowners here, and our crew covers the surrounding areas across Jacksonville without needing a special trip. Booking Jacksonville gutter cleaning is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your gutters quoted from the stories, the size and the tree cover over the roof. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date when we call.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, late spring and late fall, when most homeowners want the seed load and the leaf load off their roof. If you can book outside those windows you will usually get an earlier slot. Our gutter services fill fastest in those two windows, so plan ahead. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work, so the visit fits around your schedule.
If you keep up with regular gutter cleaning and gutter maintenance, we can hold the same crew and the same photos from year to year, which makes it easier to see how the lot is changing. Many people in the area book their house alongside a flush of the rest of the property, so ask us about the full scope when you call. We will flush every downspout, check the water flow in every run, and confirm it before we leave. Protect your home from water damage by keeping the runs clear and the water moving.
Our gutter cleaning service quotes the number from the stories and the size of the house, plus what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we give you the whole figure before we book. The quote we give is the amount on the invoice.
Our customers here usually book late spring and late fall. Gutters that start the season clean carry less leaf mat into winter, and if they wait until winter the leaves and grit have had time to pack the bends, so the runs are more likely to sag or pull loose by the next season.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Our cleaning services in Jacksonville run on the same calendar, so if a same-day visit is possible on your schedule we will tell you on the phone.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Once they finish, the runs are clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles and a twig threaded through the guards and seed balls sitting on top, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. We clear the surface under and over the guard and check that water is getting in.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size rather than debris. 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.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and in that case you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts work. The gutter cleaning process has one price on the phone and one on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
