Our own crew handles Denver gutter cleaning from start to finish. We flush every downspout, haul everything away, and photograph every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Most homeowners book spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to get 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 what is sitting in the gutters. We price it 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, which lands in a similar place per run, but the total is what you care about, so we give you that. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the price and are never billed as extras. Residential and commercial properties both get the same method: stories, square footage and what is in the gutters decide the number. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed solid, which means more hand work on every clog. And guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Our crew sees the gutter buildup and the drainage problems first, and the sag on a run is usually the first sign the water flow has been blocked for a long time. Left alone, a sag like that can lead to structural damage.
Our experience is strongest with Denver homeowners who have seen water pour over the edge and want it fixed before the next storm. On one job, the house had three stories, a heavy canopy over the back run and a heavy leaf load, so the crew spent most of the visit clearing clogged downspouts by hand and checking the leaves and debris in each elbow before the water away from the foundation was back in order. The price was built from those three things, did not change once the crew was on the ladder, and the yard was clean when the truck pulled out. We do the same for the Denver homes that send us a photo of the front of the house by text.
| 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, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and most homes do fine with two cleanings a year. The fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves are down, and that is when we clear the leaf load before the first hard freeze. Clean the runs in the fall and a clog is less likely to form at the elbow over winter. Where the first ice comes early, the fall visit is the one that keeps ice dams from forming at the eave and lifting shingles from underneath. Houses that skipped the fall visit are the ones where we find runs sagged or pulled loose by March.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the right rhythm, because needles, a twig or two and grit pack the runs between visits and the rainwater stops moving freely. Wet, packed runs also invite fascia rot. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps every rain gutter moving. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. We check the roofline and the blockage at each visit and tell you what we found. Each visit ends with a clean set of photos on your phone, and our crew has cleaned gutters on homes in every tier, so the estimate for your lot comes from what we see at the first visit.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not guessing at the schedule. Clean runs at that first visit make every later visit faster. The schedule is written for residential properties, so the tier reflects your lot, not a guess. 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 gutter services reach residential properties across Denver, and our cleaning services in Denver are booked directly with us. The quote comes by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Booking with us is simple: we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, so the earlier you call the easier it is to get the date you want.
We keep the homeowner in the loop from the first call to the last photo. When the crew is done, the work is clean, the gutters are clear, and the leak risk from clogged gutters and downspouts is gone. We keep your gutters working through each season to protect your home from water damage, and we clean the surrounding areas of the roof and the landscape along the drainage path so nothing is left behind. Our gutter system gets a full check at every visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get your gutters on the calendar.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not name a figure without those details, and the number we give is the number we charge.
Across Colorado, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit runs October to early November. Skip the fall visit and the runs we find by March have often sagged under ice.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service.
No. Our gutter cleaning process happens outside only. Our crew does not come inside, and debris is bagged and hauled away from your home. Photos of every run go to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every drain is flushed and checked for flow at the outlet, and we tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job and is priced before anyone starts.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep the leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and in the runs, so the guards need lifting at each visit. Cleaning and maintenance on guarded gutters runs shorter than on open ones, but it does not stop.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge during heavy rainfall, it is usually a slope or drain pipe size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is.
Not unless something changes the job, and if it does you hear it and agree to it before work starts. Gutter maintenance is priced the same way, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
