Our own crew cleans gutters, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, bags what comes out and hauls it away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Colorado, most of our customers book their cleanings in spring and fall, and the instant estimator above gets you a starting figure in under a minute.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning process starts with those same three questions, asked of every homeowner who calls. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but a per-foot rate hides the things that actually move the job. What moves it on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up in the air, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves and grit, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear underneath. Gutters that were clean between visits are a different job from ones nobody has opened in years. If we find a leak at a joint while we work, we photograph it and tell you, and we do not quote a repair on the spot. We also check that each downspout carries water away from your home, not back toward the foundation. Flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are already in the number and are never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Across Colorado the jobs that surprise people are the ones with the most tree cover. On our local jobs the homes with heavy tree cover tend to need the same run cleared several times a year, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the elbows between visits. Commerce City gets about 16.7 inches of precipitation a year, and April, May and July are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a packed run shows itself. Our cleaning services in Commerce City CO are priced from those same three things, and the cleaning and maintenance visits follow the same rule. For a bigger picture of how the visits add up, call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate on the three things above. Most homeowners ask the same first question, how much, and the answer comes from those same three things. If you want gutter maintenance on the calendar before the wet months, the phone is the fastest way to get your gutters booked. Text a photo of the front of the house if that is easier, and we will tell you what we see from the picture before we talk about the number. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls before arriving.

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 most of our customers book a fall visit as well, in October or early November after the last leaves are down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March under the weight of the ice, with the buildup of wet leaves behind them and the fascia board starting to rot. Clogged downspouts are usually the cause when a run sags, so we check them on both visits. Under heavy tree cover, where needles and grit pile up between visits, our customers come back every three to four months. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps leaves and debris from packing the elbows, and it keeps a run clean through the wet months. Snowfall runs about 49 inches a year here, and that freeze and snow pattern is hard on gutters, which is the main reason the fall visit matters here. Our gutter cleaning services run on those schedules, and after the first visit we tell you which one your lot actually needs.
On a lot with few trees the gutter system stays clean for a long stretch, but the rain gutter still collects a surprising amount of grit from the shingles and the landscape around it. A single flushed run in fall is usually all a typical lot needs before the first heavy snow. Where the landscape slopes toward the house, we also check that the drainage carries water away from the foundation, because a clog in the wrong run there is the quickest route to structural damage in the basement wall. Each visit checks the gutters and each downspout together, and that is how Commerce City homes with few trees keep their schedule short. Across Commerce City the schedule is set by what we find in the first visit, and it stays on your calendar once it is set.
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.
We clean residential properties and commercial properties from the same base, and our crew covers Commerce City and the surrounding areas without a travel surcharge. The booking process is short. Our gutter services start with a call, and you give us the number of stories, the rough size of the house and whether there is tree cover over the house, and we give you a quote on the spot. If the roof is hard to read from the ground, a photo of the front of the house is enough for us to start. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busiest windows are late May through June and late October through early November, when most of the calendar fills. Book early in those windows if you want a specific day.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works from the ground and the ladders, and the photos of every run arrive on your phone before the truck leaves. If a date slips because of weather, we call to move it and do not charge you for the change. Debris removal is part of the same visit, so you do not pay a second trip to haul it away. For the rest of the year, most gutter cleaning service requests come in on a regular cycle, so a call now usually means a slot within a few weeks. Homeowners can ask us for a regular cleaning schedule, and we will set the dates on the calendar so you do not have to remember when to clean your gutters.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those three things, because a two-story house with a steep pitch can cost more than one with a low pitch. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June and again in late October or early November. If you wait until winter, the leaf mat and the ice can hold water against the eave and push runs loose by spring. Rainwater that cannot leave the gutter runs over the edge. Snow here averages about 49 inches a year, so a blockage left in the fall can turn into a leak by spring. A run that is clean in October is less likely to sag by March. On our jobs the fall visit is the one that prevents the most trouble.
Same-day depends on our calendar that week, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week outside the busy windows, and we tell you the day before we arrive. Commerce City CO jobs follow the same rule.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, 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, and that is the whole list.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the water flow all the way to the outlet. We treat the gutters and downspouts as one system, so a run that backs up gets checked at the bottom too. If a line drains underground, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often than open ones. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and grit underneath, and once that mat is wet the water runs over the front edge. Our gutter services on guarded systems clean the surface, flush the downspout and reseat the guards, which is how you keep your gutters moving.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is slope or downspout capacity, not the leaves. Send us a photo or a short video taken in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Fixing a slope problem helps protect your home from water damage, and we do not sell a second cleaning for it.
It only changes if the crew finds something that alters the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on your invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the figure in writing.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
