Our own crew cleans gutters across Redlands. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, debris removal is included, and you get 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 is over the roof, and the estimate we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, the two visits that keep water moving off the house.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for gutter cleaning services depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters, and we quote it from those three things. To get a number, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and the tree cover. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we quote the whole house so you are not doing the arithmetic yourself.
On most Redlands homes, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has cleaned in years come out with buildup packed solid, which takes more time per foot. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run, and every run is left clean before we move on. Pipe flushing, water flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our jobs. On one house with heavy tree cover over the back roof, the rain gutter was packed with seeds and leaf mat, the clogged downspouts were choked at the elbows, and water was running over the front edge in every rain. We cleared every run and left it clean, then flushed each drain pipe until it ran clear at the bottom, and told the owner which section of the back run had a slope problem that cleaning would not fix. The quote was set on the phone from the stories and the tree cover, and the invoice matched it.
Every estimate starts with the same three questions: how many stories, roughly how many square feet, and whether trees hang over the house. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy, and we can tell you more before the crew is scheduled. Rainwater pulls toward the low spot, and the gutter is where we find out whether the drainage is carrying water away from your home or letting it pool at the foundation. If a clog is forming, or the leaves and debris have built up enough to cause a blockage, or the gutter is starting to sag, we see it on the first visit and say so. A clog left alone turns into structural damage, which is why we would rather catch it in spring than repair the fascia in winter.
| 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 of our customers book a visit twice a year, in spring and fall: in the spring after seed and pollen drop, and in the fall after the last leaves come down. In the spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows of the drain pipes. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the house, our customers book cleanings every three to four months, because needles, twig and grit pack the drain pipes between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Gutters beside a busy road or construction get the same closer schedule, since dust and grit settle back into a trough you just left clean. Gutter guards cut down how often the trough fills, but the surface still has to be cleared, so we tell you what the guard needs as well.
When we open a rain gutter in the spring, we often find a blockage of seeds and grit in the drain pipes already, and when we open one in late fall the trough is full of wet leaf mat. Rainwater that cannot drain sits in the gutter and spills over the edge, and water away from the house is the reason we clean at all. A clog that sits all winter sends water down the roofline to the fascia, and a leak there is where rot starts.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Regular gutter cleaning catches the blockage before the first heavy storm, and gutter maintenance on that same schedule keeps the trough from filling up between visits. Clean your gutters in spring and again in fall, and the gutter system keeps moving water through the whole rainy season. The photos we send after each visit show you exactly what we found and how clean each run is.
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 services reach homes from the nearest base and work the neighborhoods we already know. Booking a Redlands gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text, from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy for you. Lead time is set by the calendar that week, and we confirm a date when you call rather than promising a slot we do not have. Across California, the busy visits land in mid to late June and late November to December, so an early call helps.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with the call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Our crew works outside and leaves the ground clean, and you will get photos of every run before the truck leaves. If you need the work done on a particular day, tell us when you call and we will check it against the route. Booking early is how you get your gutters on the route while the debris is still loose, not after another storm has packed them. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house to book a date.
Keep your gutters working through heavy rainfall and you protect your home from water damage at the fascia, the soffit and the foundation. Every homeowner gets the same crew on residential properties, and residential and commercial jobs both run on the same route and photos. Commercial properties book a second visit when a building needs more than one a year. We work the gutters and downspouts on both, and leave each one clean. Surrounding areas get the same crew and the same photos, and the number we quote you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those things, because a two-story house with tree cover costs differently from one without. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Across California, most visits land in mid to late June or late November to December, so you can get your gutters done before the heavy rain or after the leaves drop. In the spring we find seeds and pollen paste in the drain pipes, and in the fall the leaf load and the wet mat. If the gutters wait past the fall visit, the runs can sag before winter is done.
Most slots come up within the week for cleaning services in Redlands, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service unless we actually have the crew on the route.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked, move any landscape pots off the walkway and keep it clean, and keep pets in while the ladders are up. We send photos of every run and drain pipe to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, each run is flushed and flow-tested until it runs clean, and we check that the water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often, because the gutter system still collects what the guard lets through. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. We clear the surface, leave the trough clean, and check that water is getting in.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in the rain usually has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. 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. Water that drips from a seam is a leak, not an overflow, and we will say so.
It should not. The quote is built from stories, size and tree cover. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
