Our own crew cleans gutters in Greeley, with gutters flushed and flow-tested, the ground left clean, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover the house has, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we are glad to quote you a date.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage, and what is in the gutters. We quote our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we would rather give you one clean number for the whole house. The same rule applies to commercial properties: the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes longer and more ladder work. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out heavy with packed leaves, sludge and the odd twig wedged in an elbow, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. A rain gutter run that is clean at the top still has to be flushed through to the downspout, and we check that it is. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Greeley homes with a heavy tree canopy and a busy landscape around the foundation, the runs usually take more time because the leaves and grit pack tighter than in an open yard. One recent visit came in on the phone as a two-story house with a clogged back run, and the quote held once we were on the ladder because we had already asked about the trees and the back gutter. Each case is written up with its link, and the number matched the invoice.
Clogged downspouts and a sag in a run are the two things we see most often that cause water to back up. Both are caught during the cleaning, not after the fact. Where water is pooling near the foundation, we flush the line and check the water flow at the outlet, so a clean outlet tells you the water away from your home is actually working. A sag left alone can cause a leak at the seam, rot in the fascia and structural damage, and catching it early keeps your home from water damage. Any drainage problem gets flagged on the spot, not filed for later.

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 customers book two cleanings a year across Greeley CO, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Colorado, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and here the fall visit runs October to early November. Freeze risk here is real, so fall matters more than people expect. On our jobs in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that clogs the runs, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag or pull loose by March under the weight of ice.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the right schedule, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits and a gutter that looked clear in spring can be full by midsummer. Greeley homeowners with a house like that should plan on regular gutter cleaning, not a single visit. A house with few or no trees that stays clean through fall does well on once a year in late fall. Gutters covered with guards still need cleaning, less often, with the surface kept clean so the water can reach the gutter. Gutter maintenance is the same job whether or not there are guards, and a cleaning and maintenance visit checks what sits on top and what is underneath.
Each season the buildup is different, and the clog that matters is the one that stops rainwater from leaving the roofline. We check the blockage at the outlet of every downspout, and we mark the calendar for your next visit before we leave. Ask us how often to clean your gutters on your lot, and we will tell you which tier it needs after the first visit. If you want to book the next date now, call (866) 435-6328 and we will pencil in an estimate for the spring visit.
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.
Greeley gutter cleaning runs out of the nearest base, and our gutter services cover the city and the surrounding areas without giving you the base address. We book residential properties and residential and commercial jobs on the same calendar. Booking is simple: give us the stories, the approximate size and whether there are trees over the roof, and send a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy. We quote from that, and we confirm a date when you call.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call, the better your chances of the date you want. Keep your gutters and downspouts clear between visits, and our gutter cleaning service will flag anything that needs a second look. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the schedule. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home while the gutter cleaning process runs. Lead time depends on the week, and we tell you the nearest open slot on the phone rather than promising anything we cannot keep.
If a gutter overflows after heavy rainfall and you want us to look before the next storm, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether it is a clog or something else. A clean gutter that still overflows is a slope problem, and we will tell you so. Looking at it early helps protect your home from water damage.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall. If the fall visit is skipped, the wet leaf mat and first freeze can leave runs sagging by March. Our crew can tell you which visit your house needs most.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service unless we have an open crew that morning.
No, a homeowner does 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. The crew leaves the yard clean when it goes.
Yes, we flush every downspout until it runs clean at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs under gutter guards we find tree fluff and needles threaded through the mesh, seed casings sitting on top, and grit settled underneath. The gutter system still needs its surface cleared, and the water still has to get in.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A gutter that is clean and still overflowing has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we tell you and you agree to it before the crew starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
