Our own crew cleans gutters in Lafayette, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our Lafayette customers book with us in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the ladder from the first call to the last photo.
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 quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the stories and the access matter more than the length of the run. Spring and fall are the busiest windows, so a clean quote booked early saves a call later.
Here is what moves a quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care on the way down. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the back of the house. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with buildup and compacted debris that has to be worked loose by hand, and a clog at the downspout elbow adds time to every run. A run that has started to sag takes longer to clear, because the water has nowhere to go until the trough is empty. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. State plainly, downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Lafayette homes with older gutters often show the same problem: a clog that has built up at the downspout elbows through two seasons of leaves. The cleaning process is the same on every house. The crew clears the runs, flushes every downspout until the water runs clear at the bottom, and photographs each step so you can see it on your phone. The runs come out clean and the water flow is checked before the crew packs up. Nothing about the price changes once the ladder goes up, because the stories and access were already in the quote from the first call.
Lafayette homeowners and commercial properties get the same rule: the walk-around happens before the quote, not after. We also clean residential properties, and we offer residential and commercial gutter cleaning services for both. Regular gutter cleaning is quoted from the same stories and access each visit. If you want a written estimate, ask for one and we will put it in writing before the crew is booked. If you would rather not clean your gutters from a ladder, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you where your job sits from there.

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 window runs late May to June, and most of our customers book twice a year. On our Lafayette jobs the fall visit falls October to early November, after the last leaves come down. Lafayette gets about 16 inches of precipitation a year, and April, May and June are the wettest months, so the spring visit clears what the rainwater has pushed into the runs. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that causes the trouble, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find runs by March that have sagged under ice. The city averages about 65 inches of snow a year and winters freeze, and the first freeze is the point where a clog turns into an ice dam at the eave. Keeping the drainage open through the snow months is the point of the fall visit, and a clean gutter in October protects the eave before winter sets in.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Where there are few or no trees over the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the water moving away from your home. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, though the surface still has to be cleared. Homes in the surrounding areas with the same tree cover follow the same schedule. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the runs and downspouts.
Regular visits keep a small blockage from turning into a big repair. Our gutter services for Lafayette CO follow this calendar: we flush every downspout, check the gutters and downspouts for blockage, and keep your gutters clear before the rainwater season. Any gutter that begins to sag between hangers is the first thing we check. A blockage found in late May is a short visit, and one found in February is a much bigger job. A gutter system that stays clear through the snow months does far less damage, and protecting your home from water damage is the reason for both visits, since water that sits in the trough leads to rot in the fascia and structural damage. Ask for an estimate at any point in the year, and we will tell you when the next visit makes sense. A clean roofline in late fall is the goal.
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.
We work across Lafayette and the surrounding areas, and the crew covers the city from the nearest base without needing a special trip for any one neighborhood. Lafayette homeowners who call or text get a quote from their stories, home size and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the house front helps us see access before the crew shows up. A tree that drops twig and needle litter is quoted from the same photo. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest weeks are the ones right after the spring and fall windows open, so book early if you have a fixed date in mind. Lafayette gutter cleaning is booked the same way in every neighborhood, and every clean run gets a photo.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works from the outside of the house, sends photos of every run to your phone, and leaves the same way it arrived. Every homeowner gets the same photos, and repeat cleanings are quoted from the same stories and access. Every visit follows the same gutter cleaning process from the first call to the last photo. Between visits, gutter maintenance is one phone call. If the house already has gutter guards, tell us on the call so the quote includes them. If you see a leak after heavy rainfall, or want a cleaning and maintenance check outside the regular schedule, call us and we will look at the timing with you. The crew leaves the yard clean, and the water is headed away from your home when they drive off. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar for a spring or fall visit, or ask for a written estimate before you commit.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Once we have those, the quote is the number we charge. The landscape around the house matters too, so a sloped lot or a walk-out basement is named on the call before we quote.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, and if you wait past the fall visit the first freeze tends to find any clog before we do. A rain gutter that is clogged before the first freeze is the reason the fall visit matters most, and a clean gutter going into winter is the goal. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will help you get your gutters on the schedule.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Commercial properties are booked on the same calendar, so a commercial job follows the same rules.
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. Leaves and debris are hauled off with the crew, so nothing is left for you to bag.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check for flow at the outlet. If a line runs underground and water is not leaving the outlet, we tell you and quote clearing the buried line separately before anyone touches it. Clogged downspouts that send water toward the foundation are flushed first, so the downspout carries water away from your home.
Yes. On our jobs leaves sit on top of the guard and needles, seeds and grit work through the mesh, so the surface still gets cleared and the downspouts still get flushed. Skipping gutter maintenance on a guarded roof lets water reach the fascia, and a fascia that stays wet is how structural damage starts.
If a rain gutter that is clean still spills water over the edge, the problem is usually slope, capacity or the downspout size, not debris. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Our gutter services end with photos of every run, and between visits you can keep your gutters clear by looking at the runs after a storm.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after the invoice is drafted. The aim is to protect your home from water damage, and debris removal is quoted up front so the number holds.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
