Our own crew cleans gutters in Calexico, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leftover mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave, so you see the clean run for yourself. 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. On our Calexico jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, and we can give you a phone quote the same afternoon you call.
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 work it out over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is measured, but we find stories and how packed the trough is tell us more than footage does.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more ladder work, so the crew needs more time up there. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline, which changes how the boom or scissor lift is set. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed solid with compacted grit and leaves, and that takes more hours than a yearly clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time to every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our experience with this kind of quote is simple. We have seen water backing up in clogged downspouts and rain gutter runs packed with leaves and grit, and the blockage always shows up first at the elbows. A single clog at the elbow backs the whole run up, and when the buildup sits long enough, a small seam leak turns into structural damage in the fascia and the roofline behind it. We clear the run, flush every downspout, and check that the water is moving away from your home. Calexico homes with gutters that have not had a clean in a while usually need the full scope, and that is what the quote covers.
Calexico homes and commercial properties both see the same drainage problem, and the cleaning services in Calexico cover both. The crew sees leaves and grit sitting in the trough before the first big rain, and a sag in the middle of a run is usually the first sign the water flow has been stuck for a while. Getting the water away from your home is the point of the whole visit. Calexico gutter cleaning is quoted from the same three things on every lot: stories, size and what is in the trough. A clean run is what keeps the water moving, and a clean downspout is what keeps it away from the foundation.
| 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 customers in Calexico CA book twice a year, in the spring and fall. The spring visit comes after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat, and a gutter left full through the wet months pulls loose and sits low, while the fascia behind it begins to rot. Book the visit before the wet months, not after the first overflow.
On our jobs, the frequency depends on the lot. Under heavy tree cover, plan on cleanings every three to four months, because the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Near a busy road or construction, the same schedule applies, since the dust settles into the trough. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Gutter guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs a clean now and then.
When we open a gutter here after the wet winter months, December through February, we often find a blockage that started as a small twig and became a mat of leaves and seed over the season. The clog builds from the bottom up, and the rainwater backs out over the front edge. Once the clog is cleared, the trough is clean and the water runs. Residential properties and commercial buildings both get this pattern, so we schedule the same way for both. The estimate for each lot comes from what we find on the first visit.
Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the gutter system clear. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and heavy rainfall is when a clogged run fails. For a spring or fall visit in Calexico CA, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date. Our gutter cleaning service runs on a schedule we set with you, and debris removal is part of the visit. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and every visit starts from a clean trough.
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 cleans gutters across Calexico from the nearest base, and we do not name the base. The gutter cleaning process starts with a phone or text estimate built from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof. Call (866) 435-6328 for a phone quote, and send a photo of the front of the house so we can see the roofline before we arrive. It takes a minute to send.
Lead time varies by the week, and we tell you the date when you call. Our calendar fills in two busy windows each year, in spring and in fall, so booking early keeps the slot you want. Get your gutters on the books early, because the first visit is where a clean run starts. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Calexico homeowners who want to protect your home from water damage start with a clean system. A homeowner who keeps a regular schedule has fewer surprises, because a regular visit keeps the gutter system and the gutters and downspouts moving water away from the foundation, and that keeps the basement and the fascia dry. Cleaning and maintenance cover the same runs, so a homeowner gets one crew and one set of photos. We also take on residential and commercial gutter services in surrounding areas, so if your building is near Calexico, ask us about the route. A clear run is the simplest way to keep your gutters working through the next storm.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. That number is the number we charge.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, and regular gutter maintenance keeps the wet mat from building up. If you wait past the leaf drop, the mat is harder to clear and can start to sag the run before winter.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call, so a clean booking takes one phone call. Ask us what is open and we will tell you.
No. The gutter cleaning process is outside work only, so the crew does not come inside. Photos of every run and downspout go 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 and check that water is leaving at the outlet and running away from your home. Clearing a buried underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep the leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and under the guard. The surface still needs to be cleared, and we check that the water gets in.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video taken in heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we tell you and you agree before the crew starts. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
