Our own crew cleans gutters in Blythe, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, 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, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been booked for spring and fall visits on Blythe homes for years, and most of our Blythe customers book those two 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, how big it is and what is sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price a gutter cleaning service by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot once the job is measured.
On our jobs, a clog is rarely the only thing that moves the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down packed with buildup and compacted debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A run that was clean last spring can be packed again by fall, so the quote follows what we find on the ladder. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice, and a clean job is quoted the same way.
Our Blythe crew has worked on homes where the back run sat under a heavy tree line and the clogged downspouts were packed to the elbow. Those jobs took longer because the crew had to clear the drainage path before the water would run. On a house where the sag was already visible, we photographed the run and reported it, and the cleaning was quoted separately only after the homeowner decided what to do about it. Our Blythe homes that had gone years without service were the ones where leaves and debris had worked into the seams, and the water flow had dropped to a trickle at the outlet.
Gutter cleaning services of this kind also turn up structural damage and fascia rot when water has been sitting in a rain gutter for a long time. We would rather tell you that on the ladder than leave it for a later visit. The goal is to keep water away from your home, and that means away from the fascia and the foundation. A downspout that dumps right at the foundation soaks the landscape beside the house, so we check where the outlet ends up. A clean, flowing system does that better than a quick scoop of the trough.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $225 | from $295 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $260 | from $335 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $235 | from $305 | from $395 |
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 Blythe customers book twice a year, once after the spring seed and pollen drop and once after the last leaves are down. In spring the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat is what we find before the rainy months start. For a Blythe CA house, the calendar follows the rain and the leaves, and regular gutter cleaning on that rhythm is the simplest gutter maintenance most homes can keep up with.
Under heavy tree cover, cleanings every three to four months keep the downspouts moving, because needles, grit and every twig that falls off the tree pack them between visits. Near a busy road or a construction site the same schedule applies. A lot with few or no trees can stay clean on one visit a year in late fall. Guards need less frequent service, but the surface still needs clearing, and we tell you so on the first visit.
When we open a gutter here after a winter of rain, we often find a clog at the first elbow, sometimes with a rainwater pool sitting behind the roofline. Left alone, that blockage is what pushes water over the edge in the first storm. A gutter that is cleared on schedule keeps that from happening, and the estimate for your lot is based on what we see up close.
Blythe averages 3.6 inches of rain a year, and January, February and December are the wettest months. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so a clogged gutter gets tested all at once in heavy rainfall.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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.
Blythe gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Our crew works across Blythe and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Lead time is set by our calendar, and we will tell you the first open window when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early in those months keeps the choice of date open. If you are on a schedule for every three to four months under heavy tree cover, we can hold the dates for the full year at the start. Call early to get your gutters on the calendar for the full year.
Blythe homeowners who want to protect your home from water damage usually start with one visit and move to a schedule after the first look at the roofline. We flush every downspout and check where it drains, so the whole gutter system works together, gutter guards included. Between visits, watch for a leak or water over the edge in rain and call us. If you want to clean your gutters yourself, stay off the ladder in wet weather. We clean residential and commercial gutters on the same check, and commercial properties and residential properties get the same photo report and flush. The gutter services we offer stay the same from one visit to the next.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Nothing is added after the crew is on the roof, and a clean job ends at the number you were quoted.
Across California, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June. In Blythe, the fall visit runs from December to early January, and January, February and December are the wettest months here. If you wait past that fall visit, the wet leaf mat packed into the runs gets heavier by the first freeze, and some runs can sag under it.
Most slots come up within the week for our cleaning services in Blythe, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. The gutter cleaning process is the same either way: our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout, check the outlet, and tell you if water is not leaving the system. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. Under guards on our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top, and the water never gets in. We clear the surface and check the flow.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something we did not see from the ground changes the job. Your cleaning and maintenance are quoted together, so if that happens, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
