Our own crew cleans gutters in Muscoy, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls leaves and debris away from your home, and takes photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work across California, and most of our customers here book in spring and fall.
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 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. Homeowners pay for the stories and the roofline, because those drive the work, and commercial properties are quoted the same way.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the rain gutter on the back run, gutters nobody has opened in years with buildup packed into compacted muck, clogged downspouts at the elbow where a twig or a clog has jammed, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear underneath. A run with a sag in it takes longer to drain and reseat. Downspout flushing, water flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Each run is left clean before the crew moves to the next. If something on the gutter system changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our crew has cleaned gutters on Muscoy homes with heavy tree cover, where the seed casings and leaves pack the elbows faster than on open lots, and on homes with few trees where a single late fall visit does the job. The difference shows up in how many runs are blocked when we open them. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
| 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.
Across California, spring gutter visits land in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop. In Muscoy CA, the fall visit runs from November to early December, after the last leaves come down. In June the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In November it is the wet leaf mat that has to come out before the rainy months, and on homes that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the end of winter, which is structural damage waiting for the next storm.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months keeps the outlets clear, because needles and grit pack them between visits. A blockage that forms in one rainy week can back the water over the edge, and a clog at the elbow does the same. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so heavy rainfall is what exposes a gutter that was not cleared. Few or no trees near the roofline means once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared, because the wet mat sits on top of the guard. A clean, working gutter carries rainwater and water away from the foundation, and a small leak at a joint is the first sign it has stopped.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Ready to clean your gutters on a schedule that fits? Ask for a written estimate and we will put the schedule in it. We service residential and commercial buildings, and residential properties follow the same schedule logic. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the house to book a date.
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 works across Muscoy from the nearest base and covers the surrounding areas on the same routes. To book, call (866) 435-6328 and give us stories, size and tree cover, or text a photo of the house front if that is easier. Every one of our cleanings includes a flush of each downspout. We check gutters and downspouts on every visit, leave every run clean, call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call, the better your odds of the date you want.
The point of all of this is simple: we want to keep your gutters working and protect your home from water damage, not sell you a repair. Gutter maintenance is the job, and it keeps the whole gutter system working. For the homeowner who wants the rest of the exterior handled on the same visit, we also offer gutter cleaning services and other gutter services, with cleaning and maintenance on one crew, one invoice.
Muscoy gutter cleaning is quoted from stories and size, by phone or text. Once we have those, the number we give is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are already in it, and the gutters are left clean.
Across California, spring visits land in mid to late June, and the fall visit runs November to early December. If you wait past the fall visit, wet leaves rot in the trough and we usually find runs that have sagged over the winter. We can tell you on the first visit whether your lot needs twice a year or more.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week, and we confirm the date when you call. Cleaning services in Muscoy are booked by the open date, so ask about the next opening.
No. The gutter cleaning process happens outside, the crew does not come inside and leaves the yard clean, and photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. A downspout that will not clear gets worked from the top. If a drain line runs underground and needs clearing, we tell you and quote that separately before touching it.
Yes, gutter guards mean less frequent visits, but the debris that sits on top still needs clearing. To get your gutters on a schedule that fits, tell us about the landscape and the trees when you call. Under guards we often find needles and grit that have turned to a wet mat, and that is what stops the water from getting in.
If the gutters are clean and still overflow in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second visit for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts. The quote we gave on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
