Our own crew cleans gutters for Oroville homeowners, and it will flush every downspout, test the flow, haul away everything it pulls out and send 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. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we take the calls.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo, and we quote it from those three things. The number we give you is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is known, but the stories and roof access matter more than the footage.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed solid with compacted leaves, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get to the trough and clean it. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most of our work here is older houses with a clog problem: rain gutter runs that have held leaves until the drains stopped moving water away. On one job in the older part of town, the crew found a run pulling loose from the fascia and clogged downspouts that had been overflowing at the corner for two seasons. The quote was higher because the hanger had to be photographed and reported and the drains flushed one by one, and the homeowner had that in writing before the crew climbed. We see that kind of sag and buildup often on oroville homes that have been skipped. Left alone, that sag can rot the fascia and turn into structural damage. Our crew cleans the gutter system, but the water flow and the drainage tell us whether the job is done.
We serve residential and commercial customers. For commercial properties we price per building on a schedule. Residential properties get a price by phone or text. Either way, we also give you the gutter cleaning service details in writing, so the leaves, the drains, and the eaves are all accounted for before we arrive.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $225 | from $295 |

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 of our customers in Oroville CA book regular gutter cleaning twice a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. In the spring, when we open a gutter here, we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs sagging by the time the rainy season is well along.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see most, because needles and grit pack the drains between visits and a clog builds quickly along the roofline. Few or no trees, and once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutter guards need less frequent visits, but gutter maintenance still means clearing the surface, since what sits on top of the guard keeps water from getting in.
If your gutter is clogged between visits, the rainwater has nowhere to go and it starts running down the fascia and into the blockage at the corner, so do not wait to clean your gutters. A busy road or a construction site nearby pushes the schedule shorter, since the grit gets into the trough faster. Heavy rainfall fills a clogged run quickly, so the visit schedule is how you keep your gutters working through the rainy season. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 gutter cleaning crew works across Oroville and the surrounding areas, and we call before we come. The gutter cleaning process starts with an estimate by phone or text from your stories, the square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo or book a date. Nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our busy windows are late spring and fall, when most customers want a slot, so calling early keeps the date open.
Lead time varies with the season, and we confirm the date when you call. If your gutters have a leak or are pulling loose, tell us on the phone so we can plan the visit to protect your home from water damage. Our cleanings include debris removal, so you do not have to clean up after us. Call early and you get your gutters on the schedule before the busy window. Our crew does gutter services only, and the gutters and the drains are the whole job.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Every home is priced the same way, and we do not quote a figure on this page, because the house decides it. Once we have those two facts, the quote is the number we charge.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, because those are the times we find seeds, pollen and leaves in the trough. Waiting past the fall visit tends to mean a clogged run by the rainy season, and a clean trough is far easier to keep than a rotted fascia is to repair. Heavy tree cover calls for a shorter schedule.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Cleaning services in Oroville are booked by phone, so if you need a faster visit because the water is over the edge, say so and we will tell you what we can do.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, the flow is checked at the outlet of every run and each one is flushed. If a line runs underground, we tell you whether water is leaving and moving away from your home. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance. On our jobs leaves sit on top of the guard, and grit or a stray twig from the landscape gets underneath, so the water stops getting in even when the trough looks clean.
A clean gutter that still spills in the rain usually has a slope or outlet size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we do not add charges once we are up there.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
