Our own crew cleans gutters across Lompoc, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves 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 hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across California, most of the homes we clean book in spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have finished. A clean gutter is how you protect your home from water damage, so call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge for this service. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place for most houses.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk always adds time. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above the ground, and a sloped lot does the same. Gutters nobody has opened in years arrive packed with compacted leaves and debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat add their own time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included, never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
Across California we see the same pattern in the gutters that come to us from the city jobs: a clog that has been building for a season, a sag where the hangers have pulled, and buildup that water flow cannot get past. In Lompoc, most of our calls come from lompoc homes where the gutters have gone too long without a visit. When we are on the ladder we can usually see the clog start at the downspout and work back up the run. Our gutter cleaning services cover the full run, from the corner to the outlet, so the leaves and grit come out in one pass.
Commercial properties follow the same rules: the price comes from the building, not from a rate card. We flush the rain gutter at every corner, check the clogged downspouts, and note any structural damage we see from the ground or the ladder. Our job is to get the water away from the building and keep the drainage moving, and every estimate is written with that in mind.
| 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 lompoc homeowners book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across California that is the pattern on the houses we clean, and it holds well here. Lompoc averages 15.4 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are January, February and March, so heavy rainfall in those months finds a clogged run first. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and a wet leaf mat that sits in the trough before the rainy season arrives.
A gutter that is not cleared in time can clog and hold water along the roofline, and the blockage shows up as a leak at the eave or as overflow over the front edge. Left alone, the fascia starts to rot. Under heavy tree cover, near a busy road, or beside a landscape with bark mulch, we return every three to four months, because needles, a twig or two, and grit pack the downspout between visits. Houses with few or no trees need one visit a year in late fall. Guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still gets cleared on the same schedule.
For regular gutter cleaning, we ask about the trees and the road first, then set the interval, because the answer tells you how often to clean your gutters. Our calendar at lompoc ca stays open for the spring and fall visits, and a single estimate covers the year. Most customers find that a twice-a-year schedule keeps the gutters clean and the rainwater moving, with no standing pile of wet needles and leaves.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the schedule in writing so the next visit is already on the calendar. Residential properties and residential and commercial sites are all handled the same way on our end, one crew, one visit, one set of photos.
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 the city from the nearest base, and we clean homes and commercial buildings in the surrounding areas on the same schedule. Booking lompoc gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the stories, the size and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The busiest windows are the weeks after the spring seed drop and the weeks after the last leaves, so those fill first. Book early in either window to keep your slot.
Our crew gives every homeowner the same gutter cleaning process, whether it is a first visit or a regular one. We flush every downspout, photograph each run, and leave the outside clean, and any gutter guards come off and go back on the same way every time. If a gutter has taken water damage at the eave or the fascia line, we tell you what we see and what it means for the home from water damage risk, but the repair itself is not our work. The point of the visit is to keep the gutters and downspouts clear, so the water runs away from your home.
Gutter services for this city, cleaning and maintenance alike, are booked one visit at a time, and the schedule stays open for the two busy windows. Read the estimate, pick the date, and we get your gutters clean. Ask us how to keep your gutters clear between visits.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text from those two things plus the tree cover. We do not give a range here, because it is the same number we charge once the crew is on the ladder.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seed drop, and again in late fall, after the last leaves. If the fall visit gets skipped, we see runs that have sagged under the wet mat by the next season.
We confirm the date when you call, and most slots come up within the week. We do not promise same-day service, because the calendar fills in the two busy windows. Our cleaning services in Lompoc run on a booked calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 to hold a date.
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.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and water that cannot get in. Gutter maintenance on a guarded house follows the same visit, just less often.
If the gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not a blockage. Send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If we find 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.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
