Our crew cleans gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, roof size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book the visit in the spring and fall, before the seed and pollen drop and after the last leaves come down. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a price.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for Willowbrook homes depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but the stories and the buildup load are what actually change the time on the ladder.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk adds the most time, and a walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave we work from. Gutters nobody has opened in years are packed with compacted buildup, and the crew spends the extra time breaking it loose before anything can drain. Guards that we have to lift and reseat add a few minutes per run. Gutters and each downspout are cleared together, and leaves and debris are hauled off along with the flushing and flow testing, all included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our crew has seen this pattern on homeowners' houses more than once. A house with a clog at the lower elbow and a sag in the back run needed more time than the front gutters suggested, because the water flow was blocked well before it reached the downspout. Once the crew opened the run, the buildup came out in a few passes and the drainage ran clean. That is the kind of find we tell you about on the phone, so the number you hear is the number you pay. Keeping water away from your home is what the whole job is for, and we check that the outlet runs clean before we leave.
Our gutter cleaning services cover residential and commercial work. Commercial properties and rain gutter systems on larger buildings get priced per building, after we walk the site. The same rule holds there: clogged downspout, leaves and grit, and any sign of structural damage get photographed and reported, and the quote is written before we start.
| 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 Willowbrook CA customers book twice a year. Across California, the spring and fall visits land in mid to late June and in late November to December, after the seed and pollen drop and after the last leaves come down. On our jobs, the spring visit finds seeds and pollen packed into the elbows, and the fall visit finds the wet leaf mat that the first rains turn into a clog. A gutter that goes a full year without a visit tends to show a blockage at the lowest run first, and a rainwater overflow follows, sometimes soaking the roofline above it.
Houses under heavy tree cover are on a three to four month schedule, because needles, twig and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a single rain can fill a run that looked clean in January. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that heavy rainfall is what tests every run. The wettest months here are January, February and December. Residential properties with few or no trees need one visit a year, in late November to December. Gutters with guards still need the surface cleared, and we schedule those less often, but the gutter line still gets checked each time.
A regular service plan keeps the job short, and cleaning and maintenance on one calendar keeps the estimate predictable. Ask us to clean your gutters on the same date each year, and regular gutter cleaning stays a date on the calendar, not a guess. A busy road or a construction site nearby pushes the schedule closer, because the grit settles into the trough faster than the leaves. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and that sets the gutter maintenance schedule; the next date goes on the calendar before we leave.
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 homeowners book the same way every time. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, from stories, house size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we tell you the first open date when you call. Our calendar fills in the spring and again in the fall, so booking early in those windows keeps the date you want. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the front of the house and we send the quote back. To get your gutters on a standing schedule, ask on the first call.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos of every run arrive on your phone before the truck leaves. Every homeowner gets the photo record, even when nobody is around. If you want to keep your gutters clean through the year, we set the next visit at the same time as the first one, so the schedule is not left to memory. Between cleanings, a leak at a joint, a run that sags, or gutter guards that have lifted all go into the photo report, and you hear about it before anything is done. Debris removal is part of every visit, and we flush every downspout on every visit, because clear gutters help protect your home from water damage. Every one of our gutter services ends with the photo record, so you know what was cleared and where it drains.
Willowbrook gutter cleaning is quoted from stories and size, and we give you the number by phone or text before we book. Give us the stories, the rough square footage and whether there are trees over the gutters, and we tell you the price on the call.
Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and most of our customers book both. If the fall visit gets skipped, the wet leaf mat sits in the trough through the rainy season and the fascia behind it starts to rot. Keeping the trough clean before then is the point of that visit. We often find a sagged run by the time we open it.
Same-day depends on the week, and we confirm the first open date when you call. We book across Willowbrook, and cleaning services in Willowbrook run on the same calendar. Most slots come up within the week during the quiet months.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone. Move anything off the landscape beds under the downspout, leave the side gate unlocked, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check the water at the outlet, and the gutter cleaning process is not finished until it runs clean there. A buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, on our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and grit settled underneath. The surface gets cleared on every visit, and the guards are reseated before we leave.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not debris. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain, and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. 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.
