Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Brentwood, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves 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 doing this work across California for years, and most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed and pollen drop and when the last leaves come down. Use the estimator above or call us to get started.
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 in the gutters, and a trough that is already clean takes far less time. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the height and the amount of debris matter more than the length of the run.
What moves a quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof 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 compacted leaves, grit and the odd twig, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear the trough. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of the leaves are included in the quote and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a sloped lot and on the older houses around Brentwood homes, the back runs are often the hardest to reach, and that is where most of the clog and buildup we find sits. We see leaves and grit packed into the elbows, seeds matted against the outlet, and sections that have started to sag under the weight of wet material. A sag is a sign that water flow has been blocked for a long time, and it is also where a leak, rot in the fascia board and structural damage can start if the gutter has been pulling away. We check every run for this and photograph it once it is clean.
Every gutter cleaning service job we do is different, and our gutter cleaning services cover a wide range of conditions across the area. On one of our Brentwood jobs, the front of the house was simple but the back run had a heavy leaf mat and two clogged downspouts that were blocked all the way down, and that is what set the quote. We tell you what we see before we start and we do not change the number after the ladder goes up. Text us a photo of the front of the house if that is easy, and we can give you a clean estimate from there.
Commercial properties and residential properties are priced by building, by access and by the landscape around them, and residential and commercial work follows the same rule: the cleaning includes clearing the rain gutter, checking that the drainage is moving freely toward the outlet, and seeing that the water is carried away from your home and the foundation. If the gutters are not carrying the water away, it can seep back toward the walls and cause problems later on. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through what we need to quote the job.

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 Brentwood CA customers book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit usually finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and the fall visit finds a wet leaf mat that has settled over the gutter and started to block rainwater from getting to the outlet. Between those visits a single gutter can fill faster than you would expect, and a clean run in spring can be blocked again by fall. The roofline can start to show water stains before any real overflow happens.
Across California, our spring visits run mid to late June, and our fall visits run late November to December. When we open a gutter in mid to late June, the trough is full of grit and seed casings, and by late November to December it is the wet leaves. If a house skipped the fall visit, we sometimes see runs that have sagged by February under the weight of water and wet leaves, and that is a blockage problem that started in the fall. Freeze risk is not a major factor in this city, so the main concern in the fall is the leaf load before the heavy rainfall starts.
Under heavy tree cover, we see clogs build up between visits because needles and grit pack the outlet, so those lots are on a three to four month schedule. Homes with few or no trees usually need only one visit a year, in late fall. Gutter guards can stretch the interval, but the surface still needs to be cleared. Our estimate for the visit schedule is based on what we find on the first visit, and after that gutter maintenance follows the tier your lot actually needs.
Where we have cleaned gutters for customers who have had the work done on a regular schedule, the results have been steady. A regular gutter cleaning schedule keeps the water moving and keeps the trough from filling up. For a commercial account, we set the schedule by building, and for residential properties we set it by the house and what is over the roof. Whatever the schedule, the goal is to clean your gutters before the clog reaches the outlet, and to keep the debris removal complete every time.
Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the schedule. We look at the gutters on the first visit and then set the interval that fits your lot. Text a photo of the roofline if that makes the estimate easier.
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 Brentwood and covers the city from the nearest base without needing a special trip. We clean gutters on houses in every part of the city, and the gutter cleaning process is the same on each one. We offer cleaning services in Brentwood for both homes and businesses. Booking Brentwood gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house is helpful if it is easy to send. We confirm a date when you call and we give you an arrival window in advance.
Brentwood homeowners fill the calendar in two busy windows, late spring and late fall, so if you want a particular date, book early. We call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for the work, because the crew works outside and does not come inside the house. Every run gets a clean job, and you get the photos of every run and every downspout on your phone before we leave.
Our crew is here to help you keep your gutters working for the long term, and we know that a clean gutter system helps you protect your home from water damage. That is the whole point of the visit: keep the water moving, keep it away from your home and the foundation, and catch problems early. A homeowner who skips the visit often finds the damage after the water has already gotten in. We also do commercial work for businesses in surrounding areas, and the same crew handles both.
Gutter services are only as good as the follow-up, which is why we flush every downspout and check where it drains before we leave. If you have questions about the work or want a second look at a problem spot, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will get back to you.
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 figure without those details, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
Most Brentwood homeowners here book in late spring and late fall. In spring we clear the seed and pollen, and in fall we clear the wet leaf load before the heavy rainfall starts. If you wait longer, we tend to find the runs have filled and started to sag.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Ask us about the first available date and we will tell you what we have.
No. 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, flow test it, and check where the water comes out, so the run is clean at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guards, and water sheeting off the front edge when the surface is clogged. Guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still needs to be cleared.
If a gutter is clean and still spills water in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or a downspout that is too small, not the leaves in the trough. 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.
No. If something changes the job, we tell you before work starts and you agree before we begin. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
