Our crew cleans gutters for homeowners here, flushing every downspout and flow-testing it, hauling everything away, and taking 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 sits over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book for spring and fall, and we can tell you which visit your lot needs from the first look at the gutters. A clog that sits through a freeze turns standing water into ice, so the sooner the runs are clean, the better.
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. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Our cleaning services in four square mile are priced the same way, though some crews price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is multiplied out. Our gutter cleaning process stays the same either way. A clean gutter system drains faster in a storm, and heavy rainfall is when a clogged run shows first.
What moves the price on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up in the air, a run packed with twig and seed that nobody has come up to clean in years, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get at the runs under them. Downspout flushing and flow testing are included and never billed as extras. A leak at a joint is a repair, not a cleaning, so it gets its own estimate. A homeowner who keeps up with cleanings usually sees the smaller number, and if something changes the job once the crew is on site, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our crew treats every quote as a phone-based number that holds unless we tell you otherwise first, and a firm number helps you protect your home from surprise bills. A homeowner who has seen water pour over the edge should not wait for a second opinion, since the sooner the runs are cleared, the less standing water has to be moved away from your home. Regular gutter maintenance is what keeps the next bill from climbing, and cleaning and maintenance on a schedule keeps each visit short. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number while you are still looking at the gutters, so get your gutters on the calendar before the next storm.

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.
Homes across four square mile usually get two visits a year. Across Colorado, the spring window runs late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit lands in October or early November, once the last leaves are down. In spring we open the downspout elbows and flush them, and clogged downspouts turn up packed with seeds and pollen paste, which backs water up into the gutter. In fall it is leaves and debris matted into a wet mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March under the weight of ice. A sagging run is more than a nuisance: water left standing can cause structural damage and rot in the fascia.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspout outlets between visits. With a sparse landscape and few or no trees overhead, our gutter cleaning services are usually once a year in late fall. Guards change the rhythm but do not end it: they slow the buildup, and the surface still needs clearing. Across Colorado, hail season dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, so a clean pass after spring storms is worth booking. The real test is heavy rainfall in April, May and July, and a clean rain gutter carries water away from the foundation.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the crew notes it on the photo report so the next booking is simple. Regular cleaning and maintenance on that schedule keeps the spring and fall visits short, and a clean gutter system makes the rest of the year easier. Commercial properties are priced on their own, so this schedule is for homes. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters, and we will book your spring or fall date with you.
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 works from the nearest base, and we book a slot on the phone or by text once we have the stories, the approximate size and whether trees hang over the house. Our cleaning services are booked on the same phone line that covers surrounding areas. A photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the quote before we arrive. Lead times depend on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill first, so it helps to book ahead of spring and fall.
Each gutter cleaning service starts with a walk around the house, and the steps stay the same on every one of the four square mile homes we visit. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps drainage moving, and we check water flow at every outlet before we leave. Ask us to clean your gutters on a set cycle and we will note any sag, buildup or clog on the photo report. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Clearing the runs is one visit, and debris removal is included with it: the crew handles every run and downspout, sends the photos before the truck leaves, and the photos show every run clean from end to end. Prices on this page cover residential properties; commercial properties and any residential and commercial mixed jobs are quoted separately, so call before you assume.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give an estimate by phone or text. Once we have those, the price we quote is the price on the invoice.
Across Colorado, the spring window runs late May to June, and the fall visit lands in October or early November. Those two visits clear the seed, pollen and leaves that clog the elbows. If the fall visit gets skipped, the runs can sag or pull loose by March on houses that saw ice.
Availability depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout and flow-test it at the outlet, so drainage is checked before we leave, and clean water running out the bottom is the test. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find seeds, needles and grit sitting on top of the guard, and water cannot get in until that surface is cleared. A guard changes the schedule, but you still need cleaning, just less often.
A gutter that is clean and still spills rainwater has a slope or downspout problem, not a blockage, and we check the roofline and outlet first. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and then you hear it and agree before they start. Downspout flushing and flow testing are already in the price.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
