Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Redondo Beach CA, flushes each run, checks that each one flows, hauls the debris away, and sends photos before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across California, most of our customers book for spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have finished. Call (866) 435-6328 today to get your gutters quoted.
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 what 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. Some companies price the job by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually the same handful of things. A third story, or a steep pitch too hard to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that takes longer. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves, and that is slower to clear than a run that was cleaned last season. Guards we have to lift and reseat on the gutter system add time too. Flushing, a drainage check at each outlet and a water flow test are part of our gutter cleaning services, along with debris removal, and none of it is billed as an extra. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
On our jobs, one home with two stories and heavy tree cover came in with a sag in the back run and clogged downspouts at the lowest point, where the leaves and debris had packed past the elbow. The crew cleaned the run, flushed it until water left at the outlet, and photographed the sag so the owner could see exactly what we were looking at. That home now books every three to four months.
Redondo Beach homes in this part of town run the same range of sizes and pitches as anywhere else, so there is no single flat price that fits them all. The fastest way to get an accurate number is to tell us the stories, the rough square footage and whether trees hang over the house, then text a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. The estimate is quoted from those, and nothing gets added once the crew is up a ladder to clean.
| 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 twice a year. Across California the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. When we clean a gutter here in spring, we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed in the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and when heavy rainfall hits, the houses that skipped the fall visit are the ones where we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose. In Redondo Beach the wettest months are January, February and December, so the fall visit matters most before the rain starts.
Under heavy tree cover, we move those customers onto regular gutter cleaning every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the elbows between visits and the clog builds faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so a blockage that sits through a dry spell is the one that overflows in the storm. A home with few or no trees usually does fine with one visit a year in late fall. If you have gutter guards, the cleaning interval gets a little longer, but the surface still needs clearing, since pollen and seed casings sit on top of the guard and rainwater runs over it.
On our jobs, one home with no trees and a twice-a-year schedule has needed nothing more than the two standard visits. A different home, under a canopy of trees, has been on the every three to four months schedule since its first visit, because each time we open the runs they are packed. The tier your home needs is something we only know after we have seen the lot, so after the first visit, when the gutters are clean, we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs as part of your gutter maintenance plan.
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 covers the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we have cleaned gutters on homes all across Redondo Beach. Our gutter services take in every run on the house, and each of our cleanings covers the full roofline, so nothing gets skipped because it is hard to reach. A twig jammed in an elbow gets pulled out too. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote from the stories, the size and the tree cover. The lead time for a slot depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Two windows of the year fill up fastest on our calendar, the spring and fall visits, so if you want a particular week, call early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos of every run arrive on your phone before the truck leaves, so you have a record even if you were at work. We clean residential and commercial gutters with the same crew, so residential properties and commercial properties get the same photo record. Whether you need Redondo Beach gutter cleaning for one home or a quote to keep your gutters clear all year, every homeowner gets the same gutter cleaning process from the first call to the last photo.
The number comes from how many stories the house has, its size and how much buildup is in the gutters. Tell us those by phone or text and we give you one price, which is the price on the invoice. We do not quote a figure in writing without seeing those three things first.
Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in late November to December, after the leaves come down. If the fall visit is skipped, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose after a wet winter. To clean your gutters on a schedule that fits the rain, call us and we will tell you which schedule your house needs after the first visit.
Same-day slots depend on the week, so we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning services in Redondo Beach run on booked slots, and most come up within the week, with the lead time shown when you book.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the gutters clean, 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 or lifts are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the drainage at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it. The flushing and flow test are part of the standard cleaning, not extras, and they move water away from your home.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep leaves out but pollen, seed casings and grit sit on top and mat down when it rains. The surface still needs cleaning and maintenance, though the visits can be a little further apart on a plain landscape with few trees. Every visit still ends with the surface clean.
If a clean rain gutter still sheets water over the edge, the problem is usually slope or outlet size, not a leak or a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. Fixing it helps protect your home from water damage, and a sagging run left alone can rot the fascia and lead to structural damage. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The quote comes from stories, size and tree cover. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell you and you agree to it before work starts, so the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
