Our crew cleans the whole gutter system, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls the debris away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of 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. Most Louisville homeowners book with us in the spring and fall.
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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the stories and the state of the gutter matter more than the length of the run. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the eave above the ground, a gutter system nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves and debris, with a clog sitting at the elbow of the downspout, and guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a rain gutter that has gone years without a clog check, the leaves have turned into a mat that holds water against the joints. Those are the gutters that cost more to clear, and the ones where we most often find structural damage to the hangers. A gutter that is packed and sagging takes longer to get water away from the foundation, so it is priced as the longer job it is.
Our experience with Louisville homes is that the houses with the most tree cover, the ones where our gutter cleaning services have to work around branches over the roof, carry the biggest variation in price. We tell you the difference before we come, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
| 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.
Most of our customers book twice a year. Across Colorado, the spring visit runs late May to June, after the seeds and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves. In spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the first ice by March. A clean run in October is what prevents that.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what we see on our jobs, because needles and grit fill the downspout between visits. Regular gutter cleaning on a lot like that is what keeps the water flow steady and rainwater moving. A house with few or no trees is usually fine with one clean a year in late fall. Gutter guards mean fewer cleanings, but the surface still has to be cleared. Heavy rainfall in April, May and July is when a gutter backs up behind a clogged downspout and spills onto the fascia, where rot starts. A single twig in one of the clogged downspouts can stop the whole run, and a small leak at a seam is usually the first sign.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Across Colorado, hail season along the Front Range dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, so it is worth a visit to clean your gutters after any hard storm, and a clean run is easier to keep than a rotted fascia is to fix. Ask for a written estimate on your schedule, and get your gutters on the calendar when it suits you.
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.
Louisville gutter cleaning runs from our nearest base, so most addresses in Louisville CO are on the same route. Our crew has cleaned gutters across the area, and a homeowner gets the quote by phone or text from the stories, the size of the house and the tree cover. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest windows are the spring and fall rounds, so book early if you want a particular week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Keep your gutters working through the year and let us flush every downspout so the water runs away from your home. Regular gutter maintenance is the cheapest way to protect your home from water damage, and a clean gutter keeps the roof sound. Our gutter cleaning process checks the gutters and downspouts and the drainage at the outlet on every visit, and the cleaning and maintenance shows up in the photos. Most of our work is on residential properties, and commercial properties or mixed residential and commercial buildings are quoted separately. We cover surrounding areas as well, and our gutter services are the same wherever we work.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm a date that works for you.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Our cleaning services in Louisville are priced that way on every job, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will work it out with you.
Most of our customers book a visit in late spring and again in late fall, and the fall visit keeps the runs clean through winter. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we find ice and runs that have started to sag by the time we open them up.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you want to get your gutters done sooner, we will tell you what we have open across Louisville rather than promise a day we cannot keep.
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 check where the water goes. Drainage matters most after heavy rainfall, so that is when we look hardest. If an underground line needs clearing, that is a separate job and we quote it before touching it.
Yes. Guards mean you clean your gutters less often, not never. Guards hold back leaves but not needles, seeds or grit, and that buildup sits on top of the guard, so we clear what sits on it and check that water is getting in.
If a clean gutter still overflows, the problem is usually slope, the landscape around the house, or downspout size, not a blockage. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, you hear about it and 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.
