Our own crew cleans gutters for Gunbarrel homeowners, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess bagged and hauled off, and every run left clean with photos of each one before we leave. The price comes from your 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 your invoice. Across Colorado the spring visit lands in late May to June, and here in Gunbarrel the fall visit runs October to early November, which is when most of our Gunbarrel bookings come in. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 in Gunbarrel, CO depends on how many stories the house has, its size and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge on every one of our cleanings. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though the per-foot method hides the same variables and rarely gives a clean number.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clean the run. Debris removal is included, and so is flushing and flow testing of every downspout, so none of it is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, not on the invoice.
Gunbarrel homeowners with heavy tree cover tend to get the highest quotes, since a gutter cleaning service has to deal with leaves and buildup that have been collecting for a full season. A twig can clog a downspout elbow, and a run that has started to rot or is hiding a leak adds time, and we say so on the phone. A clean run with no twigs or sag is the quick version of the job. Anyone looking for cleaning services in Gunbarrel gets asked the same questions. Send us a text with a photo of the front of the house and we can usually tell you which of those applies before you get your gutters cleaned. Whether you are a homeowner with one run or a property manager with a row of them, the call is the same: stories, size, tree cover, and what the gutters look like now.
| 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.
On our visits across Gunbarrel, most customers book twice a year, in spring and fall: once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down and before the first hard freeze. Across Colorado the spring visit lands in late May to June, and that is when we open a gutter and find the downspout elbows packed with seeds and pollen buildup that holds rainwater. Gunbarrel has real freeze risk, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest, because the first ice builds dams at the roofline and a clean run before the freeze keeps water from backing up under the shingles. On houses that skipped that visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by March, and the rot that follows can turn into structural damage.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and clog the water flow. Heavy rainfall in the wettest months, April through June, moves that mess fast, so clogged downspouts show up sooner than the schedule says. If the house has few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep drainage moving through the gutter system. Guards cut the schedule down, but they do not remove the need to clean the surface, so we still come by less often and clear what sits on top. Neighbors on the same street can land on different tiers, which is why we look at each lot before we set the schedule.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we keep the same crew on your gutters so the notes carry over from one season to the next. Where the landscape slopes toward the house, runoff finds the rain gutter first, and we flag that in the visit notes. Clean your gutters before the first freeze and keep your gutters draining through the winter, because regular gutter cleaning keeps water off the fascia and the trough and out of the surrounding areas by the foundation. That is how you protect your home from water damage. Leaves are bagged and hauled away from your home, and the crew checks drainage at the outlet before it leaves. Gutter maintenance on this calendar is one visit, and the goal is simple: keep the water away from the house.
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 starts with a quote, and our Gunbarrel CO crew works from a base close enough to keep the calendar tight. We cover Gunbarrel as a whole rather than one neighborhood at a time. On every visit we flush every downspout and check that the gutters and downspouts drain before the crew packs up. When you book, we start with a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, because across Colorado the spring visit lands in late May through June, and our fall visit here runs October to early November. If you want a fixed date in those windows, it helps to call early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew only needs access to clean the outside of the house. We take residential and commercial properties on the same calendar, and we confirm a date and arrival window the day before. Our gutter services cover regular gutter cleaning and the debris removal that comes with it, and the same crew handles the cleaning and maintenance calls. If the first slot does not suit, we will offer the next open one and keep your quote where it is, so the number you were given does not move while the schedule does, and the crew arrives ready to clean.
Our estimate comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before you book. We need the stories and the size before we quote a number.
Across Colorado the spring visit lands in late May to June, and the fall visit here runs October to early November. Spring clears seed and pollen before they harden into a paste that holds rainwater, and fall clears leaves before the first freeze builds ice dams at the eave.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call.
No. 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.
Yes, we flush every downspout and flow-test it, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet, because a clean downspout that backs up at the bottom is still a clog. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it. Keeping the drainage working on your gutters and downspouts is how you protect your home from water damage.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out of the rain gutter, but needles, seed casings and grit settle on top along the roofline and turn to paste, so the surface still gets cleared on a lighter schedule. Keeping a guarded gutter clean between visits is what the lighter schedule is for.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a case of clogged downspouts. Left alone, that water runs into the surrounding areas by the foundation and can lead to structural damage. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is, without selling a second cleaning.
Not for the work we quoted. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, and the number on the invoice matches the number you were given.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
