Our own crew handles woodcrest gutter cleaning, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run so you can see the gutters left clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roofline, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills up. Start with the instant estimator, or call (866) 435-6328 and tell us about your home.
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, and we give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house so there are no surprises when the crew finishes.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the work. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed with muck, and a blockage that old takes more time per foot to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and every load of leaves and debris leaves with the truck. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter on one of the homes we clean, the usual story is a drainage clog at the elbow of the downspout, a sag where the bracket has worked loose, and buildup of wet leaves that has been sitting since the last visit. Those three problems are what our crew is trained to find, and a clean gutter starts with clearing them. On a recent job the homeowner had three stories of gutter with leaves packed to the elbow, and that is what set the time on the visit. Every house is different, which is why we start with the phone call and the photo of the front of the house rather than a rate card.
| 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 homeowners here book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings, the odd twig and pollen paste packed into clogged downspouts. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and that is the visit that keeps rainwater from pooling behind the fascia through the rainy season, and it starts the winter with a clean trough.
Under heavy tree cover in a leafy landscape, plan a visit every three to four months, since needles and grit build up in the downspouts between visits and a clog can form within weeks. With few or no trees overhead, one visit a year in late fall keeps the gutter clean. Gutter guards still need the surface cleared, and that visit is less often. When we open a gutter here in spring we find the seed load; when we open it in late fall we find the wet leaf mat that rainfall has pressed flat.
Our jobs also show that a gutter which skipped the fall visit tends to sag and pull loose by the next wet season. Heavy rainfall that cannot leave the gutter runs over the edge, and that water can cause structural damage at the foundation. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you know how often to clean your gutters, and you can book the next date right then.
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.
The crew covers Woodcrest as a whole and works from the nearest base, so a call to get your gutters on the calendar usually works within the same week. Our gutter cleaning service starts with a call to (866) 435-6328, where you give the number of stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the house, and a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy. We will give you the quote on the spot and set a date when it suits you.
The busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, so the calendar fills up quickly in those seasons. Book early if you want a specific day. Woodcrest homeowners who call early have more dates to choose from. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts and leaves the yard as clean as it found it. If your home is near a busy road or a construction site, tell us when you book, because that changes how often the gutters need a look.
Our crew cleans residential properties and commercial buildings. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, and commercial properties get one number for the whole building. We also offer gutter services in the surrounding areas whenever a job fits our route. If you want to keep your gutters clear all year, regular gutter cleaning is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage before a leak starts.
The number comes from stories, square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text before we schedule anything. Of all our cleaning services in Woodcrest, a two-story house is one of the most common jobs, and the quote is the price on your invoice.
Woodcrest homes usually book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. Waiting past that point means the wet leaf mat is heavier and the buildup has had longer to work into the seams.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If you need something sooner, ask us on the phone and we will tell you what is open.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process happens entirely outside: the crew does not come inside, and it 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, the whole gutter system is checked. We flush every downspout with water and watch it until it runs clear at the bottom, and the trough is clean. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks the water flow at the outlet and tells you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep leaves out but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and turn into a paste that stops the water from getting in. Cleaning and maintenance still matter, just less often than with open gutters, and gutter maintenance includes lifting the panels to check underneath.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than a clog. Left alone, that water can soak the wood and start rot. Send us a photo or a short video taken 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 number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about 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.
