Our own crew cleans gutters in Westminster, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave.
The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Across California most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, and the crew can tell you which of those suits your roofline when you call.
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 give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, which is the first step of our gutter cleaning process, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but the per-foot figure hides the things that actually change the time on the ladder.
On our jobs the quote moves when the house has a third story or a roof too steep to walk, when a walk-out basement or sloped lot puts the back run far above the ground, when the gutters have not been opened in years and hold packed-down muck, or when gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras, and we flush every downspout until the water comes out clean. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Gutter cleaning is our whole business, and a homeowner gets a firm number fastest when the crew sees the whole property on the first visit. If you send a photo of the front of the house by text, we can often give a number before the call ends. Our cleaning services in Westminster are quoted the same way on every street, so two houses with the same stories and size get the same number. If a clean run still turns up a leak, the crew notes the spot and photographs it, and we keep the cleaning and the repair question separate.
On the jobs we run we see the most movement from heavy rainfall seasons, when a gutter that drained fine in summer holds a wet mat of muck through the winter. Gutter maintenance done on a regular schedule keeps the gutters clean between visits and the work lighter each time, which is the whole point of cleaning and maintenance, and the quote follows the state of the gutters the day we arrive.
| 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 homeowners book two cleanings a year. Across California the spring visit falls in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs late November to December, after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and the wet mat it makes before the rainy season.
Under heavy tree cover, or next to a busy road or construction, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, clean your gutters once a year in late fall and flush them out, which is usually enough. Gutter system condition changes the schedule too: a run that starts to sag or has a loose hanger gets watched more closely, and we flag it in the report.
Across Westminster and the surrounding areas we see the same pattern on the landscape around each house. Leaves and debris that sit on the roof for a season wash into the gutter in the first storm, clog the outlet, and leave clogged downspouts behind. If the water has nowhere to go, it finds the fascia and the wall beneath it, and that is how fascia rot and structural damage start on a house that skipped its visits.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing so you can plan the year. Keeping water flow clear through the rain gutter is what moves the water away from your home, and that is the only goal of the schedule. Rainwater that finds an open outlet never reaches the fascia. Keep your gutters clean between visits, and tell us if a run has pulled loose.
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 Westminster homes from the nearest base, and we have worked the neighborhoods across the city on residential and commercial jobs. Our gutter cleaning service covers residential properties and commercial properties alike, and all of our gutter cleaning services end with the same photo report. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so calling early in those months gets you a better slot. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house from the street and we will set the date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If the gutters are already clean from a recent job, the crew can often move quickly. Every address gets the same crew and the same photo report. For a regular gutter cleaning, a clear drainage path and a short photo sent ahead keep the visit on time, and you get the photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves.
Whether you are a homeowner with a clog at one corner or a manager with a multi-building lot, the crew treats each address the same way. We take the leaves and grit out, flush the water through, leave the run clean, and send the photos, so the buildup does not come back the next week. Calls from the surrounding areas get the same quote for any gutter services we run. Ask us to get your gutters on the schedule before the next storm, and we will tell you the date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you the number we will charge.
Across California the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and most Westminster CA customers book one of those two. If you wait past the leaf drop, the wet mat is already in the gutter when the rainwater comes, and a blockage at the outlet is what we find most often, with more clog at the downspout elbows than in the fall visit.
We confirm the date when you call, and the slot is set from our calendar. Most slots come up within the week, so ask for the earliest date we have when you book, and get your gutters clean before the next storm.
No. Our crew works outside, leaves the yard clean, 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 every downspout and flow-test it, and we check the gutters and downspouts together so the water leaves at the outlet. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find surface debris, needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and the water never gets in. The surface still needs clearing even when the guard does its job, so keep your gutters on the schedule.
If the gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge, the problem is a slope or downspout size issue, not a leaf problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we will not sell a second cleaning for it. Stopping the overflow is how you protect your home from water damage.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised and agreed before work starts, so the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
