Our own crew cleans gutters, every run 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. Across California, most of our customers book for spring and fall, and we are happy to walk you through what your house needs.
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 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 per linear foot land in a similar place, though that method tends to hide the things that actually cost time on a roof. Every homeowner should get that kind of clarity, and homeowners comparing cleaning services in Clovis should ask for it up front. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run is further up than it looks from the driveway. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down packed with compacted buildup, and a single twig jammed at an elbow can mean another trip up the ladder. Every foot of it has to be bagged and carried away from your home. Gutter guards that we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends of the job.
Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the gutter system draining, and good drainage starts at the outlet. Ongoing gutter maintenance costs less than replacing rotted fascia. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice. We keep it that clean and plain because most homeowners have been surprised by a line item once already.
On the city side, the wet season is what turns a slow clog into a problem. Clovis gets about 14.6 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are January, February and March. Across California atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days. Here the heavy rainfall that comes through each winter means a clogged gutter shows up fast. Once the trough is full, rainwater spills over the edge and runs down the fascia, and left alone that can turn into structural damage. A quote is usually about getting the house back to clean before the next storm. If your gutters carry more than a light leaf load, mention it when you call so the crew knows to bring the right gear.
To get your gutters on the schedule, the simplest path is a quick text with a photo of the front of the house and a note on stories and tree cover. From there we confirm the number, pick a window and send the crew. That gutter cleaning process keeps the quote honest and the visit short, and it helps protect your home from water damage.

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 book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June. For most houses the fall visit lands between December and early January. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the bends at the bottom of each pipe. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see the rain gutter sag and pull loose by winter.
Where freeze risk is part of the picture, the fall visit does the most work. The first ice of the season forms in the trough, and the water backs up under the first course of shingles at the eave. On our jobs the runs that have pulled loose by March are almost always the ones that went a whole winter with leaves and seed casings sitting in them. A clean gutter in late fall gives the water somewhere to go before the freeze. A clog left until March is usually where a run starts to pull away, and a clear system also moves water away from the foundation and off the landscape. Water sitting in the trough can rot the fascia board, and a backed-up eave can show up as a ceiling leak.
If your lot has heavy tree cover, we see needles and grit pack the clogged downspouts between visits, so those houses need visits more often than the rest. Few or no trees, and once a year in late fall is enough. Regular gutter cleaning in late fall is what keeps the runs clean through winter. Guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared of leaves and debris, because the leaves that sit on top of a guard turn into a wet mat over time. Keep your gutters on a plan you can count on, and the job stays short.
After the first visit we tell you which tier of gutter services your lot actually needs, based on what came out of the gutters.
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 have worked across Clovis for residential gutter cleaning, and the crew covers Clovis homes and the surrounding areas. Booking for our gutter cleaning service works the same way everywhere: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, give us the stories and a rough sense of tree cover, and we send a quote. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, so ask us for the earliest opening when you call.
The calendar fills in two busy windows: the spring cleaning season and the late fall run, when the first hard rain or freeze makes everyone want a clean gutter at once. Book early for those windows, and if you want to clean your gutters before the first hard rain, call now. We check the water flow at every run before we leave. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Residential and commercial jobs both use the same booking line, and residential properties get the same photo record as commercial properties. We keep a clean record of each job so the next visit starts from what we found last time. If you are not sure whether your house needs cleaning and maintenance in spring, in fall or both, tell us and we will work it out with you from the photos.
The number comes from stories and square footage, and we give it to you by phone or text. Our gutter cleaning services are not priced off a rate card, so call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and the size, and you will have the number before you hang up.
Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June, right after seed drop. For most houses the fall visit lands between December and early January, after the last leaves. If you wait past the first freeze, the gutters are often already packed and the runs can pull loose before the crew gets there. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which window fits your house.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week for any address in clovis ca, so we confirm a date when you call. We will give you the earliest opening we have.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Every visit we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet, because a clean run does nothing if a blockage stops the water at the bottom. If the water runs into an underground drain line and stops there, we tell you, but clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out, but on our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and packed underneath, and that wet mat is what rain runs over and off the front edge. The surface of the gutters and downspouts still gets cleared on every visit, though the job is usually shorter than on an open gutter.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in the rain has a slope or sizing problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video taken while the rainwater is coming down, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we keep the photos so you can see what we found.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
