Our own crew does Johnstown gutter cleaning, and we clean every run before we leave, with each one flushed and flow-tested. Everything comes out and is hauled away, and you get photos of every run on your phone. 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking usually lands in the spring and fall, when seed drop and leaf fall have finished.
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 sitting in each rain gutter run. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but the total depends on the same house details.
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 well up in the air, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed solid, and guards we have to lift and reseat before the gutter can be reached. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs we see gutters that have pulled loose from the fascia after years of water sitting in a clog. The water finds the weakest seam and pushes it out, and the fix starts with clearing the buildup so the water flow returns and the drainage works again. Where clogged downspouts have sat for a long time, the rot behind them is often the first sign of structural damage, and we photograph that and report it so you can decide what to do next. Our Johnstown homes get the same careful run-by-run check as any other job, and when we finish a house we want water running away from your home, not pooling beside the foundation.
| 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 usually lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Locally the fall visit usually runs October to early November, once the last leaves are down, and that is the visit that gets your gutters ready for winter. Each visit finds something different. In spring the elbows at the bottom of each run are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and a gutter that looks clean from the ground can hold a surprising amount of material. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and where freezing weather is coming, the first ice and the ice dams at the eave. On houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March.
Heavy tree cover changes how often regular gutter cleaning is needed. Under big trees, our customers are usually booked for cleanings every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the drops between visits and a clog can start before the next scheduled cleaning. A house with few or no trees around it can usually manage with one cleaning a year in late fall. Gutter maintenance still matters with gutter guards, though less often, and the leaves and debris sitting on top of the guard still have to be cleared.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, based on what we found in each run. Across Colorado the same pattern holds, but the timing shifts with the local weather, so we set the first date from the house in front of us. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate for your Johnstown CO 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.
Our crew serves residential and commercial customers across Johnstown and the surrounding areas, and we work from the nearest base. We clean residential properties and some commercial properties, and homeowners here get the same run-by-run work as anyone else. Booking a gutter cleaning service starts with a quote by phone or text based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The busiest windows for cleanings on our calendar are late spring and early fall across Colorado, so if you want a particular week, it is worth asking early.
The gutter cleaning process is simple. Once you book, we confirm the arrival window the day before and again when the truck is on the way. If the gutters are full, or a twig or a loose seam is starting a leak, we will tell you on the phone so you know what to expect. Our gutter services stay straightforward: flushing, haul-off and photos, with cleaning and maintenance tied to what we find in the runs. Our goal is to keep your gutters clean and working through the season and to protect your home from water damage, keeping rainwater off your foundation before it starts. If you are not sure what your house needs, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through it, or text a photo of the roofline for a quick look.
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 in writing, because the final number depends on what is in the gutters and how the runs drain. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Across Colorado the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and locally the fall visit runs October to early November. If the fall visit is skipped and freezing weather arrives, the first ice can lift shingles at the eave and sag runs that were already full. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the schedule, and we set the first date from your house.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. We do not promise same-day service, because the schedule depends on the crew's route across the area. Our cleaning services in Johnstown run in route order, so the date you get is one we can keep.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and uses ladder stand-offs so the landscape and siding stay clear. Photos of every run go to your phone before the truck leaves, so every homeowner gets the same record. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush gutters and downspouts with water and check that each one comes out clean at the outlet. If a run feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the end, and we tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes, guarded gutters still need attention. Seed casings, roof grit and small leaf bits can sit on top of the guard and keep water from getting in. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the drains and reseat the guards.
If a gutter is clean and still spills water over the edge in heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope, capacity or outlet size rather than blockage. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not, unless the crew finds something that changes the cleaning and maintenance job. If that happens, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
