Our own crew does Littleton gutter cleaning, and we flush every downspout, flow-test the runs, haul the debris away, and send photos of every run before we leave. Our crew leaves every run clean across Littleton, and the price comes from stories, size and tree cover. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Colorado, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaves have done their work on the roofline.
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 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. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but our crew quotes the whole gutter system so you know the total before anyone climbs.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the back run. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Once the runs are clean, the water flow test is the last check before the crew packs up. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most of our Littleton calls come from homes with a clog in the gutter or clogged downspouts that have already started to back water over the edge, or from houses where the caller can see a sag in the run. We ask for a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy, and it helps us see the lot ahead of the number we give you. A clogged run stops water from moving away from your home, so it finds the fascia and the foundation instead, and that is where structural damage starts.
Not all littleton homes are alike. Some have a single downspout that carries the whole roof. Others have three or four that drain into a shared underground line. Good drainage carries water away from the foundation, so on those houses we check the outlet first, and a clean outlet tells us the line is open. Where a downspout drains underground we tell you whether water is leaving. Clearing a buried line is quoted separately before anyone touches it. The same whole-house quote works for commercial properties.
| 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 falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in October to early November, after the last leaves. Most customers book a spring and fall visit with the same crew, since a gutter cleaning service that comes twice a year keeps the runs clean all year. When we open a gutter in May we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows, a buildup of pollen on the leaf guard, and the odd twig jammed in the outlet, a blockage that sends water over the lip. In the fall it is a wet mat of leaves and debris, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs sagging by March under the weight of the first ice.
Winter in Littleton CO brings 34.1 inches of snow a year, and the snow months run from January through April and again from October through December. Rain is heaviest in April, May and July, and heavy rainfall is what overwhelms a clogged run first. That is why a clean gutter going into fall matters: a clog in October turns into an ice dam at the eave by January, and the trapped rainwater lifts shingles from underneath. Freeze risk is real on this roofline, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest. A clogged run can also start a leak under the first course of shingles, and it lets the fascia rot.
Under heavy tree cover, or on a sloped lot with big trees over the roof, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits. Cleaning and maintenance on those roofs is routine, and regular gutter cleaning keeps it that way, not a once-a-year job. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Guards reduce how often a gutter fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded homes are on a longer cycle rather than no cycle. If you are not sure when to clean your gutters, the first visit settles it.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and how often to keep your gutters clean. The first look tells us more than any rule of thumb, so we would rather see the gutters once and set the estimate from what we find.
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 clean gutters across Littleton from our nearest base, and our gutter services cover the city as a whole, along with the surrounding areas. Our gutter services reach residential properties across the metro, and the crew handles residential and commercial jobs on the same quote. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Our calendar fills in two busy windows, the late spring run and the late fall run, so a Littleton homeowner who calls before those weeks gets the most choice of date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you want to get your gutters cleaned before the next rainy stretch, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a window. Clean gutters and downspouts protect your home, and when the runs are already backing up we plan the visit around the ones that could keep your home from water damage.
Each of our cleanings is booked as a single job, and the crew is the same people who quoted it. That keeps the photos, the notes and the schedule in one place, so the homeowner never has to explain the roofline twice, and the next visit starts from what we already know about the runs. The gutter cleaning process runs the same way for residential and commercial jobs: quote, visit, photos. Every run gets a clean set of photos before the truck leaves.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Whether the gutters are clean or packed changes the number, and we say so on the call. We do not quote from a price sheet; we ask the three questions and quote the job.
Across Colorado the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in October to early November. A clean run going into winter holds up better under the first ice, and skipping the fall visit is what sags a run by March under a wet leaf mat.
Our cleaning services in littleton usually have an opening within the week, and we confirm a date when you call at (866) 435-6328. We do not promise same-day unless we have an opening that day.
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, since the crew moves faster with the gate open.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and watched until it runs clean at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is quoted separately.
Yes. On our jobs we find seed casings and needles on top of the guard and grit underneath. We clear the surface, flush the outlets and reseat the guards. A guarded house still needs cleaning and maintenance, so it runs on a longer cycle, not no cycle.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size fault, not a debris one. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope fault.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and then you hear it and agree to it before work starts. Our quotes stay simple: the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
