Our own crew cleans gutters in Reedley, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, 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 roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our Reedley customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall are done and the gutters have the most to hold.
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 gutter system, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but we would rather you know the total before the truck pulls up. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a number.
On our jobs the same few things move the quote. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ground. 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 driveway. A rain gutter that nobody has opened in years holds a heavy buildup of compacted leaves, which takes longer to clear, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time up top. A run that has started to sag needs a check before anything gets pulled out. Downspout flushing, a water flow check and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Reedley homes differ from house to house, and the clog we see most is the same one everywhere: leaves and debris packed into the trough, with clogged downspouts below it, until water backs up and spills over the front. We clear the trough by hand until it is clean, flush each downspout and watch the water run out the bottom, so you know the drainage is working and the water is going somewhere other than your siding or the landscape at the foundation. Where a downspout feeds a buried line, we check that water leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not. A clog caught early is a short visit. A clogged run left alone long enough can mean structural damage and rot in the fascia and the soffit behind it, and that costs far more than the cleaning. The whole point of the visit is to get water away from the house.
Our crew has cleaned a number of Reedley houses with heavy tree cover, and on those jobs the quote was driven almost entirely by how much was packed into the runs. Ask us for the customer examples on our Reedley page to see what moved the number on a real house, with the photos of what we found.
When the house is a commercial property, the scope changes: the building is priced per building, the schedule is set in advance, and we work around business hours. Commercial properties and residential properties each get the same written estimate before any work starts, and the estimate is the number we bill.
| 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.
For most of our Reedley customers, regular gutter cleaning means two visits, spring and fall. In the spring we find seeds, seed casings, twig pieces and a pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and that visit comes after the seed and pollen drop. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and the fall visit usually lands between December and early January, after the last leaves are down. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag and pull loose by March under the weight of what was left sitting in them. Freeze risk in our area means the fall cleaning does the most good, because the first cold snap turns standing water into ice at the eave.
A house in Reedley CA gets about 19.6 inches of rain a year, and January, February and March are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall finds any clog fast and sends rainwater over the front of the gutter. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when a blocked run overflows.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees hanging over the roofline, our customers book a visit every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A blockage at one downspout is enough to send water over the front, even when the rest of the run is clear. With few or no trees around the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Residential and commercial buildings near a busy road or active construction tend to need the shorter interval too, since dust and grit settle into the trough. Guarded gutters need less frequent work, though the surface still has to be kept clean.
Our gutter cleaning service can give you an estimate and tell you on the first visit which schedule your lot needs, and how often you should clean your gutters. Gutters that are clean but still overflow after a visit usually point to a slope or downspout size problem, and we will tell you so. To keep your gutters running right, a clear downspout should hold until the next visit. Debris removal and the downspout flush are part of every visit, so the number we quote covers both. Call (866) 435-6328 to book your spring or fall date, or text us a photo of the roofline and we will suggest the right interval for your lot.
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.

We cover Reedley and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and clean residential homes and commercial buildings across Reedley. Our gutter services cover the cleaning, the downspout flush and the photos that go with them. Homes with gutter guards get the same work: the panels come up, the trough is cleared, and the guards go back in. The first step is a quote by phone or text, based on stories, approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the house. A photo of the front of the house helps us see the gutters and downspouts, and it takes a minute to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so the earlier you call, the more likely you get the date you want. Once a date is set, our crew arrives in the window we give you, works every run until it is clean, and sends photos of every run to your phone before we leave. Our Reedley gutter cleaning service covers the homes and buildings we know, and we clean the same way on every job, so you know what to expect.
If you have a house that has not been cleaned in a long time, call us to get your gutters looked at before a clog turns into a leak or a repair. A single cleaning can flush every downspout and show you what the gutters have been holding, so you can plan the rest of the year. A homeowner who books regular cleanings tends to see less water running off the roofline and away from your home, which helps protect your home from water damage at the foundation. That is the whole point of cleaning and maintenance.
Our cleaning services in Reedley are priced from stories, size and tree cover, and we quote it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number on the same call.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seed drop, and in late fall, after the leaves come down and before the first freeze. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we often find ice at the eave and runs that have already started to sag.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day visits are rare in our busy seasons, so call early if you need one.
No. 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, every downspout is flushed and watched until the water runs clean at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. A gutter system with guards cuts down on gutter maintenance, but on our jobs guards keep leaves out of the trough and let needles, seed casings and grit sit on top, and once that mat gets wet the rain runs off the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards.
A gutter that is clean but still sheets water over the edge in rain usually has a slope, capacity or downspout size problem, not a buildup 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 cleaning for a slope problem.
The crew arrives in the window we give you, clears every run by hand, flushes every downspout and sends photos before they leave. The price we quote is the price we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
