Our own crew cleans the gutters on your house, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and 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 is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, when a clean gutter matters most.
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 stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price gutter maintenance by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a number per foot does not tell you what it costs to get the whole house clean.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave, so the back run sits higher than the front. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed solid, which takes longer to clear out by hand. Left that way, a wet run can pull loose and cause structural damage to the fascia. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, so the job ends with a clean run and no extra line item. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Evans homes the same pattern shows up in the gutters. Where a house has clogged downspouts or a clog building up at a bend, the drainage backs up behind it and the water runs over the edge instead of into the downspout. We clear the blockage, flush every downspout and watch the water flow to the outlet before we leave, then clean up the mess. A rain gutter that sags under leaves and debris gets photographed and reported, and a leak at a seam is a repair, not a cleaning, so we say so. Homes with heavy canopy see the buildup return faster, so the schedule matters as much as the first cleaning. The same work applies to homeowners and to residential and commercial properties we service across Evans CO, and the crew handles both with the same care for the gutters and downspouts.

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.
Most of our Evans gutter cleaning jobs are booked twice a year. Across Colorado, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in October or early November, after the last leaves. On our jobs, when we open a gutter here in spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag by March after ice has sat in them through the winter.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is the schedule that keeps a clog from forming, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. Heavy rainfall in April through June is when a blocked run shows first, so keep the runs clean before then. To keep your gutters running clear, book the next visit before the runs fill up. Cleaning and maintenance visits go on the same calendar, so one booking covers both. Between cleanings, one twig in a downspout can start a clog, and a quick look at the roofline catches it early. With few trees and a tidy landscape around the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the rainwater moving to the outlet. Houses with gutter guards still need the surface cleared, though less often than open ones. After the first visit, once the gutters are clean, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the runs.
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 cleaning process runs the same way for homes across Evans CO and the surrounding areas, and every one of our gutter services starts from the same quote. The crew works from the nearest base to the house. You can get a quote for a gutter service on residential properties by phone or text, and you only need to give us the stories, the size and whether trees hang over the house, plus a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. We call before we come to clean, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when a homeowner wants the gutters clear, so booking earlier in those months keeps the calendar open for you.
Every visit ends with photos of each run and downspout on your phone, so you can see what we did and how clean each run is. If your gutters have been overflowing and you want them checked before the next storm, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we find. The aim is to keep water away from your home and protect your home from water damage that starts at the eave, because water that sits long enough can rot the fascia.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. There is no price list to read from, so homeowners get the number for their own house, and that is what they pay.
Across Colorado, spring visits run late May to June after the seed drop, and fall visits run October to early November after the leaves come down. The same two windows apply to every gutter visit here. If you wait past the first hard freeze, the runs are harder to clear and some have already sagged under ice.
We confirm a date when you call, and most slots come up within the week, so get your gutters booked early in spring or fall, before the runs need a clean. We do not promise same-day cleaning services in Evans.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can check the clean result yourself. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout as part of your gutter maintenance and watch the water reach the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. A gutter system with guards keeps out leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, which mat on top and turn into a paste that runs over the edge. We clear the surface and check that water is still getting into the gutter.
Send us a photo or short video in the rain, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you what it is. If you clean your gutters yourself and they still overflow, the run has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem, and we will not sell a second cleaning for it.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
