Our own crew cleans gutters in Aurora, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris 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, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book for the spring and fall visits, and we start with a quote from a few quick questions.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its size, and how much is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A clean gutter is quick to price, and a clogged one takes longer. Other gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but the stories and the state of the gutter matter more than the length on most Aurora homes. Commercial properties go through the same three questions.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment to reach safely. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years hold a buildup of compacted leaves and debris, and that takes longer to clear. A clog at the elbow of a downspout can add a stop of its own. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included, and we flush every downspout before we leave. A seam that has started to leak gets photographed and reported, not sold on the spot. Leaving a clog in place is how a small repair turns into structural damage, and a clean run is what moves water away from the foundation. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our jobs. One house with clogged downspouts and a sag in the back run needed the run cleared, the drainage checked to the outlet and the water flow confirmed before we left. The rain gutter came back clean and held its flow, and the quote held because we priced it from the stories and size on the call. Heavy tree cover in the same neighborhood meant the gutters came back dirtier between visits, which is why that customer books on a shorter schedule. We do not name a price inside a job, only what was found and what it took to clear it.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
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 a gutter cleaning service twice a year, in spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves are down. Across Colorado the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Aurora the fall visit runs October to early November. On our jobs here, spring is when we find seeds and seed casings packed into the downspout elbows, even on a run that was clean in the fall, and a pollen paste sitting in the trough. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and where the house skipped that visit, the first ice and the ice dams at the eave show up before winter is out. Snow here averages about 49 inches a year, falling from January through May and again from October through December, and runs that sagged under that load by March are a common find on houses that waited.
How often we come back depends on the lot. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months, because grit and small leaves can pack the downspouts, and a clog or a blockage can form faster than a seasonal schedule can keep up with. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Heavy rainfall in May, July and August is when a clogged run shows its problem first, at the roofline, because that is when rainwater has nowhere to go. Gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be clean, because the mat that sits on top of a guard is what rots the fascia behind it and sets up structural damage over time. Debris removal is part of every visit, and regular gutter cleaning on the lot's schedule is the simplest way to keep the fascia dry. The simplest rule is to clean your gutters on that schedule and let the lot decide the rest.
Once the run is clean after the first visit, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutter system and at each downspout, not on a rule of thumb. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate and we will set the first date. Residential and commercial jobs get the same photo check, and that goes for residential properties in Aurora CO too.
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.
Aurora gutter cleaning runs out of the nearest base to keep the travel time down, and the crew covers Aurora and the surrounding areas, and we flush every downspout on each visit. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using your stories, the size of the house and whether trees overhang the roof. A homeowner who sends a photo of the front of the house speeds that up. Lead time depends on the season. Across Colorado the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the busy fall window runs October to early November, when most homeowners want their gutters cleared. Get your gutters on the schedule before that window closes. A clean run is the finish line on every visit, not a rough pass. Residential and commercial jobs both come through the same phone line, and commercial properties are quoted from the building's stories, size and tree cover.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote and we will set the schedule. If you want to keep your gutters working through the year, our cleanings and gutter maintenance run on the spring and fall visits, with a reminder before each one. Cleaning and maintenance is one visit, not two. Our gutter services cover gutters and downspouts from end to end, and gutter guards get lifted and reseated on the same visit. A single twig or a handful of grit is enough to start a clog between visits, and if a seam has started to leak, we photograph it and report it. The point is to protect your home from water damage at the roofline and the foundation. A clean run carries water away from the foundation, and clear runs keep water away from your home.
Our gutter cleaning service works out the number from the stories, the size and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. Homes across Aurora get the same quote. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Across Colorado the spring visit falls in late May to June, and most customers book the fall visit for October to early November, after the leaves are down. Heavy rainfall in May, July and August fills the runs fast, so spring matters too. If you wait past the fall visit, the first ice can get into the eave before we get there, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest.
Same-day cleaning services in Aurora depend on the calendar, so we confirm the date when you call. If you want to get your gutters done sooner, tell us when you call and we will check what the calendar allows.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. Debris is bagged and hauled away from your home before the truck leaves, and photos of every run and downspout go to your phone. A clean finish means the photos arrive whether or not you were home. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving at the outlet, and once the outlet runs clean the downspout is done. A clogged downspout is cleared from the top where it can be reached. If an underground drain line needs clearing, that is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. A guarded gutter system still gets visits, because guards keep the leaves out but twigs, seed casings and grit still settle on top and under the guard. Once that mat is wet, the water runs off the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards. Guarded gutters still need gutter maintenance, and a clean surface is what keeps the guard working, so cleaning and maintenance stays on the schedule.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size, not debris. Water that runs off the edge should move away from your home, not pool in the landscape next to it and rot the fascia over time, so 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 gutter cleaning process is the same on every job. Even on a clean roofline, anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, and you agree to it before the crew goes further.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
