Our own crew cleans gutters in Foothill Farms, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Across California, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been doing this work long enough to know why those two visits matter.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Gutter cleaning in Foothill Farms CA is priced from three things: how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us those three things and we quote it, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price cleanings by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the stories are counted.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and costs more to do safely. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid with a clog at the outlet, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Once the trough is clean, the downspout gets the same check. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away of everything we pull out are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter for a Foothill Farms homeowner, the first thing we look for is whether the leak is in the trough or in the seam, whether a run sags, and whether the gutters and downspouts have been cleaned since the last heavy rainfall. A gutter that is clean but still overflowing usually has a slope problem, and we say so instead of selling a second cleaning. A clean trough with a blockage at the outlet still overflows, so we check both. Send us a text with a photo of the front of the house and we can give you a close estimate before anyone climbs a ladder. Ask for a written estimate if you want the numbers on paper first. Our crew takes care of the whole gutter cleaning process from the first call to the last photo, so you are never guessing at what happens next. Get your gutters on the schedule before the leaves and grit pile up, because the longer they sit the more gutter maintenance they need.
| 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 |

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 Foothill Farms book our gutter cleaning services twice a year, one in spring after the seed and pollen drop and one in late fall after the last leaves and debris come down. In spring the elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and that is where a clog starts. A gutter that is clean in spring can still fill with seed paste by summer. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we have found runs that sag by the time the winter rains arrive.
When we open a gutter here in spring, we find seed casings and pollen packed into the corners. When we open one in fall, we find a leaf buildup sitting in a layer that holds water. Left alone, the rainwater in that layer works into the fascia and the roofline, and that is where rot and structural damage start. A clean gutter system drains water away from your home, keeps the rain gutter working the way it was installed to, and helps protect your home from water damage. Good water flow at the eave is what keeps the fascia dry.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, our customers are on a three to four month schedule, because needles, twig and grit pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Clogged downspouts cause most overflow calls, so we flush each one on every visit, and the schedule matters more than the price of any single visit. If you have a landscape bed under a downspout, or a busy road or construction nearby, plan on the shorter interval too. A guard keeps the leaves out, but it does not keep the surface clean, so guarded gutters still need a visit. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in 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.
Our crew provides cleaning services in Foothill Farms CA and works out of the nearest base, so you are not waiting on a long drive for a booking. Our gutter cleaning service reaches Foothill Farms homes and the surrounding areas on the same routine. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a quote based on stories, size and tree cover. Most slots come up within the typical lead time we quote on the phone, and the busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, when the calendar fills fastest for residential properties and commercial work. Every stop ends with clean gutters.
Foothill Farms homeowners get a call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you are booking ahead of a heavy rainfall, tell us when you call, because we will move your slot up where we can. Our crews clean gutters for homeowners and for commercial properties, and the same routine applies to both: photos of every run and of the downspouts before the truck leaves. Every visit ends with a clean gutter, flushed and photographed. Whether the house is a single family home or a building with flat roofs, the work is scheduled around the weather and the lot, so the visit goes where it needs to. Clean your gutters on a schedule that matches the tree cover and you will see fewer calls about overflow between visits. This is regular gutter cleaning, not a one-time fix. The point is to keep your gutters draining between visits, so we set the schedule with you and it stays on track.
Our gutter services are quoted from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number to you by phone or text. Two stories on a typical lot is one of the most common jobs we do here, and the quote is the figure we invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. If the fall visit is skipped, we see runs that sag once the winter rains arrive, which is the most common thing we find on those houses. Keeping that schedule is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day depends on the calendar that day.
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. The gutters are clean when the truck pulls out, and the photos show it.
Yes. Every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear, and where a downspout feeds an underground drain line we check that the water is leaving at the outlet. If a clog will not clear from the bottom, we work it from the top. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs the guards hold the leaves but not the needles, seed casings or grit, and that mat turns into the paste that makes water run over the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. A gutter that is clean and still overflowing usually has a slope or capacity problem, and we tell you what it is rather than selling another cleaning.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. 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.
