Our own crew cleans your gutters, and every run is flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Debris is hauled off the property, and you get photos of every run. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the gutters, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice.
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. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot, but we quote the whole house so the homeowner knows the total before we arrive.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, which takes more time. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years hold a buildup that is packed hard, and a clog like that takes longer to clear by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends of the visit.
Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree before any work starts, never on the invoice.
Among King City homes, the ones with the most trouble are usually the ones where the gutters have gone unopened for several seasons. A clog packed down into the elbows blocks the drainage at the outlet, and water backs up and runs off the edge. Clogged downspouts are the usual cause, and the first heavy rainfall of the season shows it. Over time that water finds the fascia board and the foundation, and a run that sags turns a leak at one seam into structural damage. A clean gutter system carries water away from the house, and clearing it early is the cheaper path. That is why most homeowners book a regular cleaning instead of waiting for an overflow. Where the runs are short and the trees are light, the job goes quickly, and the quote reflects that. Where a heavy load of leaves and debris has settled into the trough, the crew spends more time clearing it and flushing every run until the water flow runs clear at the bottom.
Send us a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the stories and the approximate square footage. From those three things and the tree cover, we give you a number on the phone. Every one of our gutter cleaning services is priced the same way for every home we clean, so you know what you are paying before the crew pulls up.
| 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.
Many homeowners book twice a year, in spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves come down. Across California, spring visits tend to land in mid to late June, and the fall visit usually falls in late November to December. In spring we find seeds and seed casings packed into the outlet elbows, and a paste of pollen sitting in the trough. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag or pull loose by the time the rains come hard. Freeze risk makes the fall visit the one that counts most, because rainwater left in a trough that cannot drain becomes ice at the eave.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the gutters, we suggest regular gutter cleaning well before needles and grit pack the drain outlets along the roofline between visits. A home with few or no trees over the gutters is usually fine once a year in late fall, if the gutters are clean at the start. Gutter guards change the picture somewhat; they hold the big leaves off, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters get a visit less often than open ones, not never.
A home with a large tree directly over the gutter line needs the shortest gap between visits, because needles and grit pack the outlets quickly. Keeping buildup out of the trough between visits is most of the work, and each visit starts with the same check of the trough and the drains, so the schedule follows what the gutters actually hold.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs. The crew looks at the tree cover, the eaves and any blockage in the gutters, and gives you a clear plan for the next year. Clean your gutters before the first hard rain, and the visit is worth it. You can start with a single visit, and we give you an estimate for the next one before you decide.
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 King City CA and the surrounding areas, and the calendar fills up for King City gutter cleaning in the busy windows. Booking is simple. You call or text, we ask for the stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the gutters, and if it is easy, a photo of the front of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo, and we give you the quote on the spot and book a date that works for you.
The calendar fills in two busy windows each year, once in late spring and once in late fall, so the earlier you call the better your choice of days. Our lead time is posted in our calendar, and we confirm the slot when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works outside, leaves the yard clean, and does not come inside the house.
Regular cleanings are the simplest way to protect your home from water damage and keep your gutters working through the rain. We clean the gutters and downspouts, flush every downspout, and check that each outlet moves water away from the foundation. Water left sitting by the foundation can wash out the landscape beds, so that check matters. A clean gutter that drains is the goal of every visit, and the crew photographs each run before we leave, so a homeowner can see the result. Cleaning and maintenance go together on the same visit: the crew clears the trough, pulls out any twig that has lodged in the elbow, and checks the hangers too.
Tell us if the building is residential and commercial, or one of several commercial properties, when you call, and we will say on the phone whether the crew takes the job. Whether you need one visit or a schedule, we set it up so the gutter services fit your house and your gutter system. Our crew cleans residential properties, and the quote is the same number you will see on the invoice.
The number comes from stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote it on the spot so you can get your gutters on the schedule. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Across California, spring visits usually land in mid to late June, once the seed and pollen drop has come down. The fall visit counts most, and it usually falls in late November to December, before the winter rains arrive. Cleaning twice a year covers both windows. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs that sag or have pulled loose.
Our cleaning services in King City fill up in late spring and late fall, so the sooner you reach out, the more choice you have. Each visit gets a date when you call, and we confirm the slot on the phone.
No. The gutter cleaning process runs outside only, and the crew leaves the yard clean and does not come inside. Photos of every run reach your phone before the truck leaves. Homeowners usually leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Clogged runs get flushed until clean water runs out the bottom, and that is the sign the run is open. Where a run feeds an underground line, we check that the water is leaving at the outlet, away from your home, and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, though less often. Needles and seed casings sit on top of the guard, and leaves and grit that get wet run over the edge. The crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and reseats them. Cleaning and maintenance on a guarded system is a shorter job, but it is still a job.
A clean rain gutter that still overflows has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video of the gutters and drains in heavy rainfall, and we tell you what it is. Any fascia rot we see behind the gutter gets flagged in the photos, because that is a repair, not a cleaning. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It will not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree before any work starts. Regular gutter maintenance is priced the same way on every visit, and the price on the phone is a clean number that matches the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
