Our crew cleans gutters in Castle Rock, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess bagged, hauled off and the ground left clean, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the gutters, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. On our jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, and we are glad to put you on the schedule.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for our gutter cleaning services depends on stories, square footage and how full the gutter system is. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, for homes and commercial properties alike, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the stories and height are counted. Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what the job will cost.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more care. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above the ground, which changes the lift and the time. Gutters and downspouts nobody has opened in years are packed with compacted leaves and grit that has to be dug out by hand, and guards we have to lift and reseat add their own time. Clogged downspouts that have sat full for a season need flushing and a flow check at the bottom, and that is included.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice. Our crew sees the same thing on most Castle Rock homes: a rain gutter that looks fine from the driveway is full of seed, grit and a wet leaf mat once the ladder is up. That is the buildup we clean out before we check that the runs carry water away from the house. The landscape under the runs stays where it is, and the crew works around the plants.
On one of our local jobs, a two-story house with a heavy tree canopy on the north side had gutters that were fine on the front run and full of wet leaves on the back. The crew cleared both runs, flushed the downspout at the corner and found a sag nearby where water had been standing. That sag is the kind of drainage problem that becomes structural damage if it is left, and it is noted in the photo report we send. The quote was set from the stories, the tree cover and the back-run access, and it did not change once we were on the ladder.
| 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.
Across Colorado, most of our customers book twice a year, in late May or June after the seeds and pollen drop, and again in October or early November after the last leaves. The same calendar works for residential and commercial properties, so clean your gutters before the leaves pile up and let our gutter cleaning service handle the booking. In Castle Rock CO the spring visit catches the seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and the fall visit catches the leaf load before the first hard freeze. Here the gutter often freezes before the leaves are gone, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have found runs that sagged under ice by March.
Under heavy tree cover, needles, grit, leaves and debris pack the runs between visits, and those homes are on a regular gutter cleaning schedule of every three to four months. Few or no trees over the house means once a year in late fall is enough. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, but we still clean the surface, so they go on the same calendar with less to haul. A rainwater overflow in the middle of the season is usually a clog at a downspout, not a reason to change the whole schedule.
A single blockage at a downspout elbow can send water back up the run, out over the lip or into a leak at the joint during heavy rainfall, which is the first sign a gutter needs a visit before the next booked date. Our crew checks the roofline and the runs on each visit so early wear like a hanger pulling loose gets caught before it becomes a repair, and since we do not do repairs ourselves, the report says what we saw and what it needs.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date, or ask for a written estimate and we will put the schedule in writing.
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 has cleaned gutters for homeowners across the city, on the older homes near downtown and the newer builds farther out. We serve residential properties from the nearest base and cover the surrounding areas too. Booking is simple. Our cleaning services in Castle Rock start with one step: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories and roughly how much tree cover is over the house, and we give you a quote on the spot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
The Castle Rock gutter cleaning process is the same from first call to final photo. The two busy windows of the year fill first, which is late spring and early fall, so book early if you want those weeks. Outside those windows slots open up more often, and we tell you the next open date when you call. If you have gutter guards, say so when you call. Whether the trouble is a twig jammed in an elbow or a full trough, the crew handles it on the same visit. We keep the schedule plain so a homeowner knows when the crew is coming and what a clean set of runs looks like when they leave.
Whether you are a first-time customer or someone keeping up with repeat cleanings and maintenance on a set schedule, the same crew handles the job and sends the same photo report. That consistency is what keeps gutter services predictable and lets us protect your home from water damage over the years. To keep your gutters clear before the next storm, call now and we will help you get your gutters on the calendar.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, plus what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we will give you a figure over the phone, and that is the figure on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June after the spring seed and pollen drop, and again in October or early November after the leaves. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we often find the runs already sagging under ice. Gutter maintenance between those two visits keeps the trough clean enough that the ice has little to hold.
Across Castle Rock, most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and if a day opens sooner we will tell you on that call.
No. The crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up, and we send photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves, and the yard is left clean.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and the outlet runs clean when we check the flow there. If a drain line runs underground and water is not leaving, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep out leaves but not needles, seeds or grit, and that debris sits on top of the guard until it blocks the water flow. We lift the guards, clear underneath, and reseat them.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not buildup, and the water is not moving away from your home fast enough. A fascia board that stays wet every storm is how rot starts. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. We set the quote from stories, size and tree cover, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, we call you and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
