Our own crew cleans gutters in Cherry Creek CO, flushes every downspout and hauls the leftovers away, so you finish with clean runs. Homeowners here get a quote built from stories, home size and tree cover, and that number is the one on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and you get photos of every run before we leave. Most homes we clean book in the spring and the fall.
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 square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Both residential and commercial properties get that same single quote. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather give you one number for the whole building.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the height of the gutter line, so the back run sits higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with years of buildup that takes time to clean by hand, and a gutter system with a clog or a blockage in the elbow adds time at every run. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of what comes out are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Questions about cost from a homeowner usually come down to the same few things. Homes under heavy tree cover shed leaves and debris into the runs faster than most owners expect. Cherry Creek homes with a clog at the bottom of a downspout tend to hold water against the foundation for a season, and that is where structural damage usually starts. Good water flow through a clean rain gutter carries the water away from the house, and clearing the drainage path before the next storm is usually the fix. Rainwater that cannot leave a clogged rain gutter spills down the wall instead. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we can tell you what we expect before we come out.

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, spring visits run late May to June, after the seeds and pollen have dropped. Our fall visits run October to early November, after the last leaves are down. Cherry Creek gets about 64 inches of snow a year, and the freeze is what turns a skipped fall visit into trouble. Runs that go unchecked through winter sag or pull loose by March under the weight of ice, and the wet leaf mat holds the water in place. In spring the downspout elbows pack with seeds and pollen paste, so the simple rule is to clean your gutters every spring and fall, and regular gutter cleaning is what keeps it that way.
Under heavy tree cover, clogged downspouts show up between visits, and a single twig can start one. Those homes are on a schedule of every three to four months, since needles and grit build up in the runs quickly. The wettest months here are May, June and August, and heavy rainfall fills the runs fast in those months. Among residential properties, those with few or no trees usually need a single visit in late fall. Even so, gutter guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs a clean. Our gutter cleaning service starts with a first visit where we tell you which tier your lot needs. Between visits, a quick look at each downspout after a storm is the simplest gutter maintenance you can do, and a clean downspout is the goal. It keeps the cleaning and maintenance plan on track and keeps debris removal small. Anything on the roofline that is not a cleaning problem gets photographed and reported. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date.
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 provides cleaning services across Cherry Creek and the surrounding areas, and the process is the same at every house. Cherry Creek gutter cleaning starts with a phone call or a text. To get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate from your stories, size and tree cover. Our gutter services cover the whole run, gutters and downspouts alike, and a clean finish is part of every visit. Lead times change with the season, and we confirm a date when you call. Our calendar fills in late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Keep your gutters clean and working, flush every downspout while we are up there, and you protect your home from water damage and from a leak at the seams.
Our cleaning services in Cherry Creek price off how many stories the house has, its size and what is in the gutters. We give you that figure by phone or text, and it is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are included.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs that have sagged under ice by March. Under heavy tree cover we suggest visits every three to four months.
Same-day cleanings depend on the calendar that week. Most open slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. The gutter cleaning process is all outside work; our crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clean. A downspout that does not carry water away from your home gets worked from the top, and where it feeds an underground drain line, we check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we start.
Yes, though less often. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guards, and grit underneath. We clean the surface and check that water is actually getting in. On a landscape that slopes toward the house, we also check where the water goes once it leaves the downspout.
A clean gutter that still spills over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem, and left alone it is how fascia boards start to rot and structural damage starts. Send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if the job changes, and you hear about it before work starts. The quote we give by phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
