Our crew cleans gutters for Chino Hills homeowners, 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. Most of our Chino Hills customers book in spring and fall, and we leave a clean trough and a clean yard each time.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for gutter cleaning services depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Chino Hills homes and commercial properties are priced the same way, since the trough and the drainage pipe work the same on both. Companies that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, though the per-foot method adds up differently on a house with a lot of corners. What moves the price on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up in the air, gutters nobody has opened in years, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get to the leaves underneath.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. If we find something that changes the job, such as a clog that needs more time than the visit allows, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice. The goal is a clean run that drains, and the invoice matches the estimate. A gutter that has built up leaves and debris for years often shows sag, and that sag is where water pools and starts a leak at the joints. We photograph it and report it rather than selling a fix. Left alone, the drainage problem can lead to structural damage and rot at the fascia.
On our Chino Hills jobs the most common pattern is a two-story house with mature trees over the back run, where the leaves and twigs pack the elbows within a few months. The first sign is usually clogged downspouts, and a rain gutter that backs up will spill over the front edge. We clear the full run, flush every downspout until the water comes out clean at the bottom, and note any run with weak water flow so you can see it in the photos. The number for that house reflects the height and the buildup, not a flat fee, and you hear the number before we start.
| 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 Chino Hills customers book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. In spring the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that settles into the trough, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that have pulled loose or sagged by the time the rains get going. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is more realistic, because needles and grit pack the trough between visits. Few or no trees around the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough.
On our jobs, the difference between the tiers shows up quickly. A house with no trees may stay clear for a full year, while a house under a canopy can have a visible clog or blockage within the first season. The landscape around the house sets the load, so a yard with heavy planting or a tree that overhangs the eaves fills the trough faster. Regular gutter cleaning keeps rainwater moving off the roof, and the debris removal happens on the same visit, so the trough is left clean. Near a busy road or a construction site the grit load is higher and we see the same pattern. Guards reduce how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so we treat guarded gutters as a lighter visit rather than no visit.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutters and the trees around the roofline. Chino Hills CA gets about 16.3 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 clog that is still there in December will be tested by the first heavy rainfall. If you would rather clean your gutters before those months, the late fall visit is the one to book. The trough works the same way on residential and commercial buildings, so the same tiers apply to residential properties and to commercial properties we clean.
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 Chino Hills CA, and the fastest way to book a gutter cleaning service visit is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. From a photo and three details, stories, approximate size and tree cover over the roof, we can give you a quote and a date. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early in those months keeps your options open. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our gutter services reach Chino Hills homeowners and the surrounding areas, and the crew works the same way on every street. Whether your house has gutter guards or open gutters, we clean the full run and check the gutters and downspouts on every visit. We flush every downspout so water does not back up behind the trough, then we leave the trough clean and the ground clean. A clean gutter helps protect your home from water damage at the eaves, and it keeps water away from your home during heavy rain. Any leak we see at a seam goes into the photos, and each homeowner gets them on their phone.
Every chino hills gutter cleaning visit starts with a walk around the house, so you know which runs need the most attention before the crew climbs. Ask us to help you keep your gutters clear between visits, and we will tell you what to watch for.
The cost for a two-story house comes from its stories and size, and we give you the number by phone or text before we book. We do not quote a range without those details.
Spring and late fall are the months most of our Chino Hills customers book. Spring clears the seed and pollen, and fall clears the leaf load before the rains set in. If you wait longer than that, we usually find the material has compacted and the drains need more time to clear. Regular gutter maintenance between visits keeps that from happening.
We can often book within the week for our cleaning services in chino hills, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day slots depend on the calendar that week. Our crew books across Chino Hills, so tell us which week you need when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. 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. Our cleaning and maintenance visits follow the same gutter cleaning process every time, from the walk-around to the final photos.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check where it drains, including underground lines where we can see the outlet. A single twig wedged in an elbow can back up the whole run, so we check the elbows as well. A clean downspout that drains into a buried line still needs the outlet checked. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone starts.
A guarded gutter system still needs attention. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guard and under it, and once that mat is wet, water runs over the front edge and can cause rot at the fascia. We lift the guard, clear underneath and reseat it.
If the gutters still overflow after we leave, that is usually a slope or downspout-size problem rather than a cleaning problem. A clean gutter that still overflows points to the slope, not the buildup. 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 a slope problem.
The price does not change once the crew is on the roof. If the job turns out different from what we quoted, such as a clog that needs more time, we raise it before work starts and you agree to it first. To get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 before the season fills.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
