Our own crew cleans gutters in Clifton, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves and twigs hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your roof size and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our Clifton customers book in spring and fall, and we keep those visits on the calendar every year.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for gutter cleaning services depends on how many stories the house has, how big the roof is, and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote Clifton gutter cleaning over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the stories and the amount packed in the runs do most of the work.
On our jobs the quote moves when the crew finds a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the back run, or gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves. Guards we have to lift and reseat also add time. A clean run is quick, and a run packed solid is not. The price includes clearing leaves and debris, and we flush every downspout and flow test each one before we leave, with nothing billed as an extra. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Clifton homes have a mix of older houses where the gutter runs are short and sag over time, and newer ones with long runs that drain through a single downspout. In one home where the gutter sag had pulled the runs away from the fascia, we found the drainage blocked at the elbow, and rainwater had been running down the wall for months through a slow leak. That kind of buildup is the first thing the crew checks, because a blockage left alone turns into structural damage and fascia rot the next time heavy rainfall hits. We clean the clogged downspouts, flush the line, and show you the water flow at the outlet before we leave. We do residential and commercial work through the same crew, and commercial properties get the same routine. On a house the job is simpler: the gutter, the rain gutter, the downspouts, and getting the water away from your home.

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, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in late October to November, after the last leaves are down. Most of our Clifton customers book twice a year, and in May we open the downspout elbows and find them packed with seeds, pollen paste and the odd twig. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag and pull loose by March. Clifton gets its heavy rain from August through October, so the fall visit is the one that protects the roofline before the wettest months, and debris removal at that visit keeps the runs clean through them.
On a landscape with heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what our crew sees work, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a clog builds fast. A lot with few or no trees is fine once a year in late fall. Guarded gutters need fewer visits, but the whole gutter system still has to be kept clean, because a wet mat on top of a guard stops the water from getting in. The snow months in Clifton run from January through March and again from November through December, so the late fall visit is the one that gets the gutters clear before the first hard freeze.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you know how often to clean your gutters, and we write it on the estimate so you can plan the calendar around it. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first 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 cleans gutters across Clifton CO and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we keep a record of the neighborhoods we have worked in. We offer cleaning services in Clifton for residential properties, and the gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text, using stories, roof size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Booking a gutter cleaning service depends on the calendar, and in the two busy windows, late spring and late fall, the calendar fills first. We call before we come, every visit ends with a clean trough, and nobody needs to be home.
If you want to get your gutters on a schedule, we set the dates for the year when you book the first visit, so the calendar holds the spring and fall slots for you. Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps our gutter services predictable, and a homeowner who books cleanings on a schedule is less likely to find a clog or a sagging run after a heavy rain. That helps protect your home from water damage over the long run. Text a photo of the roofline, or of your gutter guards if you have them, and we will tell you what we see before you book.
The number depends on the stories, the roof size and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text once we know the house. We do not guess at a house we have not heard about, and the number we give you is the number on your invoice.
Across Colorado, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit falls in late October to November, and most of our Clifton customers book one of those two windows. If the fall visit gets skipped, the wet leaf mat and the first ice are what we find on the roof, and the runs can sag before March.
Our crew confirms a date when you call, and most slots come up within the week during the quiet months. If you want a clean trough fast, ask for the first open slot.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the yard clean, and 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. Stand-offs keep each ladder off the gutter lip, and the ladder sits away from your home.
Yes. Gutters and downspouts get checked end to end, every downspout is flushed, and we check the outlet until the water runs clean. Clearing an underground line is a separate job and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes. On our jobs the leaves sit on top of the guard, and the needles, seed casings and the odd twig thread through and mat up. The top still needs to be clean, the whole gutter system gets checked, and every downspout still gets flushed.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout problem, not a debris problem. Text us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you the cause. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number we quote is the number we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start. Regular gutter maintenance is the easiest way to protect the house from heavy rainfall, and a set visit keeps the cleaning and maintenance predictable. Clean your gutters on a set date and the clogged downspouts never get the chance to back up. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline and we will set the date.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
