Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts across Inglewood CA, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. Our service is priced from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate, or text a photo of the front of the house. Across California, most of our customers book in spring and fall, when seed and pollen or the last leaves are coming down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
For Inglewood homeowners, the price depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting 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. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the total still turns on the house.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more set-up. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaf mat, and a twig jammed at an elbow can stop a whole run. Once a clog has set in, clogged downspouts take more flushing. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. A rain gutter packed with grit cannot carry water away from your home, so checking water flow after the flush is part of the job. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
The houses we see in heavy tree cover tend to need the most attention, because leaves and debris pack the drains between visits. That is the single most common reason a quote comes in higher than a neighbor's. Skipping the flush is how a run that looks clean still ends up with structural damage at the fascia. A photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see the stories and the roofline before we call you back. Our crew has cleaned gutters on Inglewood homes with the same layout you may have, and the price we give reflects what we actually found on the ladder. Commercial properties follow the same logic: the building, the access and the drainage decide the number, and we price per building.
| 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.
Across California, most of our customers book twice a year, in mid to late June after the seed and pollen drop, and again from late November to December after the last leaves come down. Waiting until water spills over the edge to clean your gutters costs more than the visit. When we open a gutter in June, we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall, it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter. Atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and heavy rainfall is the test that finds a sagging run.
Two cleanings a year cover most houses. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see work, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a blockage or clog builds quietly behind the fascia. A busy landscape around the house sends more debris into the trough. Under heavy trees, regular gutter cleaning keeps the trough clean and the water moving, which is the whole point of gutter maintenance. A seam that has started to leak is easy to miss from the ground, so we check the joints on every visit. A house with few or no trees is usually fine with one visit a year in late November or December. Adding gutter guards reduces how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so they stretch the schedule rather than end it.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the trough and at the outlets, not on a general schedule. The rainwater off a roof has to go somewhere, and a gutter system that drains properly keeps it away from the foundation. A clean run does that job; a run full of grit does not. Residential properties and commercial buildings follow the same pattern of gutters first and an honest look at drainage, and we will tell you which rhythm fits your building.
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 covers Inglewood and the surrounding areas, and Inglewood gutter cleaning slots fill fastest in the two busiest windows of the year, spring and fall. Book early in those months and you will have the most choice of day. If you want to get your gutters on the calendar, phone or text us your stories, your approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. The gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, so nothing gets a surprise on the ladder.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the date you have in mind, and we will check the calendar against it. Booking ahead of the rainy season is the simplest way for a homeowner to protect your home from water damage before it starts. Our gutter cleaning service covers cleaning and maintenance for residential and commercial buildings, and our gutter services keep your gutters working through the seasons so the roofline stays clear.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Give us those two things by phone or text and we price the job, and the number we give is the number we charge. Inglewood gutter cleaning services are priced the same way for every two-story house.
Across California, our spring visits run mid to late June and our fall visits run late November to December. If you wait past the fall visit, the leaf load and wet mat are heavier and runs can start to sag by winter. Call us and we will tell you which window fits your house.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. Same-day availability depends on the calendar that day, so ask us when you phone.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet 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 watch it until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a drain pipe feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need attention. On our jobs, needles and seed casings sit on top of the guard, and once they mat, rain runs off the front edge instead of into the trough. We clear the surface, flush each downspout and check that water is getting in.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or outlet size rather than leaf buildup. Send us a photo or short video taken during rain and we will tell you what it is. Water left running over the edge can rot the fascia behind it, so send the photo early. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
