Our own crew provides gutter cleaning services for Rancho Cucamonga homes: 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 house. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Rainfall runs about 17.2 inches a year here, and the wettest months are January, February and December, so a clean gutter matters most before those months. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to book a date.
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 give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies offering gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot, but on most houses the stories and the house itself matter more than the length of the rain gutter. The same three factors shape the quote on commercial properties, where the total run is often longer.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down with a lot of packed leaf mat, and a clog that has sat for a season takes longer than a light cleaning. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
The job that surprises people most is a two-story house with heavy leaf load over the back run. The gutter was full of packed leaves and a blockage at the outlet had cut the water flow to a trickle, and water was running over the edge at the corner where the roof meets the wall. Our rule is to flush every downspout, clear the run by hand and confirm water is leaving at the outlet before we pack up. A clog like that can lead to rot in the fascia and structural damage at the foundation. Clean, flowing gutters keep water away from your home, and that is what the visit is for.
| 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.
Across California, the spring visit window is mid to late June, after the seeds and pollen drop, and the fall window is late November to December, after the last leaves come down. The wettest months here are January, February and December, so a late-fall visit lands right before the rain. That timing works for residential properties and commercial properties alike, and it is the rhythm our calendar is built around.
In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In late fall it is the leaf load and the odd twig, and the buildup of wet leaves before the rainy months is what slows the water. The leaves and debris in the trough are what hold the water back, so the late-fall visit matters most. On houses that skip the fall visit we see runs that sag by the time the wet season has settled in. Heavy rainfall on top of a leaf-packed trough is how the overflow starts, and a gutter with a clog cannot carry rainwater. The overflow shows up as staining on the fascia and the siding long before anyone sees a leak inside. A gutter that stays clean through the spring is the exception, not the rule.
The tiers we see on our jobs look like this. Two cleanings a year cover most houses. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site, we see gutters every three to four months, because grit and needles pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards change the rhythm too: they hold back leaves but not everything, so the surface still gets checked less often than an open gutter. Regular gutter cleaning and gutter maintenance go together, since a flush between visits keeps the schedule short. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you know when to clean your gutters next. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo 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 provides cleaning services in Rancho Cucamonga and the surrounding areas. The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text, and Rancho Cucamonga gutter cleaning is booked the same way. We ask for the number of stories, the approximate size of the house, whether there are trees overhead, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. We work on residential and commercial properties, and gutters and downspouts get the same photo report on every visit. Homeowners get that report before the truck leaves. Lead time depends on the season; our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and late fall, so it is worth calling early. Booking a gutter cleaning service with us is the fastest way to lock in a date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you want your gutters working through the year, a regular schedule means you never have to think about it. The crew keeps what it can reach clean, photographs the rest and sends you the photos, so you always know the state of the gutter system after we leave. Our gutter services stop at cleaning, flushing and the photo report, and nothing is sold on the spot. A clean gutter system is how you protect your home from water damage without a surprise on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo to get your gutters on the schedule.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We give an estimate by phone or text, and the number we give you is the number on the invoice. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included.
Across California, the spring window is mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall window is late November to December, after the last leaves come down. In Rancho Cucamonga CA the wettest months are January, February and December, so a late-fall visit lands right before the rain. If you wait past those windows, we usually find more packed leaves and slower drainage at the outlets.
Same-day depends on how full our calendar is across Rancho Cucamonga that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so you know exactly when the crew will be out.
No. A homeowner does not need to be home. 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 the drain and confirm water is leaving at the outlet. If a run feeds an underground drain line, we check the outlet; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes. Guards keep out leaves but not needles, seeds or grit, and that material can mat on top and stop the water from getting in. Guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often. We clear the surface and check that water is flowing, which usually means the visit is shorter than for an open gutter.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or drain size rather than debris. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts. The price we quote 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.
