Our own crew provides gutter services in West Hollywood CA, and every homeowner gets the same job: we clean every run by hand, flush every drain pipe, bag and haul the leaves and debris, and take 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 the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when we see the most runs packed and overflowing. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price a gutter clean by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, but we would rather give you one number for the whole job. One number covers our gutter cleaning services on West Hollywood homes, and commercial properties get priced the same way, by stories and size.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes the most time, because the crew has to set up a boom or scissor lift to reach the back run. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the same rain gutter is further off the ground than it looks from the street. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with a buildup of compacted leaves, and a clean that deep takes the crew longer on each run. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing the drain pipes, checking water flow and drainage, and hauling away leaves and debris are included and never billed as extras. Water sitting in a sag in the run is how structural damage starts, so we clear it first and tell you what we found. If anything changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job, the house had heavy tree cover and clogged downspouts, with water running over the front edge in every rain. The price moved up once we could see the roof, because the back run was packed and the crew had to clean it out before the run could carry water away from the house. That is the most common thing we find on the houses here: the gutter looks fine from the sidewalk and the trouble is in the elbows. For a customer in a house without much tree cover, the job is usually quicker and the price stays where the phone call put it. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it is, and we will tell you where it lands.
| 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, in spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop and once after the last leaves come down. Across California, our spring visits run mid to late June and fall visits late November to December. On our jobs, when we open a gutter in the spring we find seed casings and seed packed into the elbows and a pollen paste that holds rainwater. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged along the roofline by the rainy months. A blockage in the trough means water cannot leave the gutter, so it sits and spills behind it.
Under heavy tree cover, on a lot with big trees over the roof, our customers need a visit more often, because needles and grit pack the drain pipes between visits and the clog builds faster than the rain can clear it. Regular gutter cleaning on a tighter schedule keeps the blockage from forming. Near a busy road or a construction site the load is heavier, and each visit includes debris removal. If you clean your gutters once a year in late fall, that is usually enough for a house with few or no trees near it. Guarded gutters need less frequent work, but the surface still has to be cleared, because a wet mat on top of the guard sends water over the front edge of the rain gutter.
We schedule residential and commercial work the same way through our gutter cleaning service in West Hollywood CA. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the runs and the drain pipes, and that is the estimate you keep. Residential properties get the same photo report as any other job. Once that first visit is done, we can clean your gutters on whatever schedule the lot 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 cleanings run across West Hollywood and the surrounding areas, and the crew works from the nearest base. West Hollywood gutter cleaning is priced by phone or text from the number of stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Homeowners who book get the same photo report on every run, and a homeowner with gutter guards gets them lifted and reseated as part of the job.
Lead time depends on the calendar that week, so we give you the next open date when you call. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when customers book at the same time, so if you want a clean slot on a particular day in those months, call early. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar, or text us the number of stories. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Between visits, keep your gutters clear of twig and leaf litter, and look for a leak at the seams after rain. Our crew will flush every downspout on the house, check the gutters and downspouts for sag, and confirm the water runs away from your home. A clean system helps protect your home from water damage, and our gutter services keep the next visit short.
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 give a range without seeing those three things, because a two-story house with heavy tree cover is a different job from one with none. Cleaning and maintenance are priced on that one quote, so once we give you the number, that is what the invoice says.
Most of our customers across West Hollywood book in late spring and again in late fall. Across California, spring visits run mid to late June and fall visits late November to December. Seed and pollen build up in the spring, and the wet leaf mat builds up in the fall. If you wait past the first heavy rainfall, the clog is usually in the elbows and the runs start to sag.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week, so we check it when you call. Our cleaning services in West Hollywood run on the same booking calendar, and most open slots come up within the week. The gutter cleaning process is the same either way: we confirm the date, clean every run, and send the photos before the truck leaves.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and keeps the ladder and gear away from your home. They send photos of every run and drain pipe to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and that is all we need from you.
Yes, every drain pipe is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a drain pipe feeds an underground line in the landscape, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep out leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, and those build up on top of the guard until the water runs over the edge. The surface still gets a clean, though the visit is usually shorter than on an open gutter. Guards reduce gutter maintenance, but they do not end it, and skipping the visit can let the fascia rot behind the run.
If a gutter that is clean still spills water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually the slope of the gutter system or the size of the drain pipes, not debris. 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.
It should not. The price covers the work we can see from the ground and the stories we confirmed when you called. If the crew finds a gutter that needs more than a clean, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
