Our own crew cleans gutters in Napa, flushes every downspout, flow-tests the runs, hauls the debris away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Most of our Napa customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have finished and the gutters are full of what they left behind. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar, and expect a clean job either way.
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 size, and how much buildup 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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the length of a run tells you less than how high it is and how packed it is. Our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way for residential and commercial jobs in Napa.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder and more time with the lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the street. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down heavy with compacted debris, and the first visit on a gutter system like that tends to take longer than the cleanings that follow. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and a clog low in a downspout can look like a full trough from the ground, so we check both. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included, and they are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
We have cleaned Napa homes where the quote stayed flat and homes where it moved up once we were up top. The difference was almost always the tree cover and the state of the runs. Clogged downspouts that have been packed for a season are a different job from a run that just needs a clean pass, and we tell you which one you have before we start. That is the same way we price residential properties and commercial properties, and our rule is the same for both: quote from what we can see, and do not change it without asking first.
When the crew flushes every downspout, they are checking the drainage the whole way down, looking for where the water flow stops. The goal is a run that comes out clean at the bottom. Where a line feeds an underground drain, 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 we quote it before anyone touches it. Keeping the water away from the foundation is the reason for the visit in the first place.
Plan on the regular gutter cleaning schedule we set with you, usually around spring and fall, and the crew will come back to the same runs each time. That is what keeps a sag from getting worse and keeps a clog from turning into a leak. Homeowners across Napa ask us how often to clean your gutters, and the honest answer is that consistency costs less than emergencies.

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 customers in Napa CA book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June, when the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. The fall visit runs December to early January here, when the leaves and debris have turned into a wet mat, and on the houses that skipped that visit we find gutters that have started to sag by the time the rain sets in.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts faster than a twice-a-year visit can keep up with. With few or no trees over the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the water moving. Guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs to be cleared, so they do not remove the visit altogether.
Near a busy road, a construction site, or a dusty landscape in the surrounding areas, the grit is finer and it finds its way into the gutter faster, which is why those homes tend to land on the shorter end of the schedule. We watch how quickly a gutter that was clean at the last visit fills again, and we adjust the interval once we have seen two or three cycles.
Keep your gutters and downspouts working through the rainy months by setting the calendar before the first storm, not after the first overflow. On each visit we flush every downspout, so the first storm has a clear way down. Plan to clean your gutters before heavy rainfall arrives, because a clean rain gutter moves rainwater off the roofline and away from the foundation, and an uncleaned one holds that water exactly where you do not want it. A single blockage in one elbow can back water up the whole run. That is the whole reason the schedule exists: to protect your home from water damage. We also check the estimate for the visit against what we actually find, so the number stays honest from one season to the next.
After the first visit we tell you which of our gutter services your lot actually needs, and we write it down so you can see the reasoning on the report.
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.
The crew has worked across most of Napa, from the older streets near downtown to the newer subdivisions on the edges of the city, and we cover the whole city from the nearest base without splitting it up by zone. The crew also serves the surrounding areas, and Napa gutter cleaning is booked the same way everywhere. Booking with us starts with a quote by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Give us the stories, the rough size of the house, whether trees hang over the house, and whether you have gutter guards, and send a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to take. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
There are two busy windows each year when our calendar fills, one in spring and one in late fall, so if you want a particular date in those months, book early. Here is how the gutter cleaning process works: a quote, a booked date, the crew on site, and photos before the truck leaves. The crew calls before we come, clears twig and seed debris out of the trough by hand, and leaves the site clean. Nobody needs to be home for the visit. The cleaning and maintenance we do is planned around the rain, and if heavy rainfall is forecast we move the date and tell you why. Ask about our gutter maintenance when you call, and we will tell you what fits.
A homeowner who is unsure which runs need the most attention can ask for the first visit, and we will tell you what we find up top. Many homeowners use that first report to decide how often to book cleanings after that, and that is a better way to get your gutters checked than guessing from the ground. Our goal on every visit is the same: get the water flowing properly and away from your home, catch any small leak at a seam, leave the ground clean, and make sure you know what we found.
The number comes from the stories, the size and whether trees hang over the house. We quote it by phone or text for homes across Napa and for commercial properties alike, and that quote is what you pay.
Most customers here book in late spring and late fall. If you wait past the first hard rain in the fall, the leaves and debris are already a wet, heavy mat, and a rain gutter full of that mat starts to sag.
We offer cleaning services in Napa on a booking basis, and most slots come up within the week. If you need something sooner, ask, and we will tell you what we have.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the yard clean, 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 is leaving at the outlet, which keeps water away from the foundation. Clogged downspouts get cleared before we move on. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone starts.
Yes, guards cut down how often a gutter system needs a visit, but they do not remove the need for one. Once the guard is lifted, we usually find needles, seed husks and fine grit sitting in the trough.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a blockage, and a sagging run left that way can lead to wood rot and structural damage. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, and we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. A sloped landscape or a walk-out basement can put the back run higher than it looks, and we tell you that when you book. We quote from what we can see, and if we find something that changes the job, we tell you before we start and agree on it first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
