Our own crew cleans gutters in Pueblo, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your 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 your invoice. Across Colorado, most of our customers book a visit in the spring and fall, and we are glad to set up the first one.
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. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though the per-foot math hides what a crew actually finds on the roof. Per-foot pricing is not how we quote.
On our jobs, a few things move the number. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ground. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out with compacted debris packed into the elbows, and that takes longer than a light clean. Guards on a gutter system we have to lift and reseat add time too. 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. Every homeowner hears that number before the first ladder goes up.
Here is what we find on Pueblo homes that have gone a while without service. The leaves and debris in the trough have turned to a damp mat, and the clogged downspouts hold water back low in the run. A run can look clean from the ladder and still hold water where it bends. Where the buildup is heavy, the drainage at the outlet slows to a trickle, and a rain gutter with a sag in it cannot send water away from your home, so water spills over the front edge, causes fascia rot and starts structural damage. When we flush a run and watch the water flow to the bottom, the job is not done until the water runs clear and moves away from the house.
We handle residential and commercial work in Pueblo. Residential properties are quoted from stories, square footage and what is in the gutters, and commercial properties follow building size and roof access. Either way you hear the number before we start, and a clean invoice that matches the quote is the goal.
| 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 Pueblo CO customers book twice a year, in spring and fall. Across Colorado, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit lands in October to early November, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in late spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit, the first ice is what loosens the runs; by March we are seeing sag and runs pulling loose from the fascia. Freeze season is the reason the fall visit matters here, and a fall visit leaves a clean roofline going into winter.
The tiers are simple as we see them. Twice a year covers most houses, and a gutter cleaning service on that schedule keeps the rainwater moving. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site, we see the gutter fill every three to four months because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so regular gutter cleaning on that tier is not optional. Few or no trees and a once-a-year visit in late fall is usually enough, and it keeps the system clean through winter. Guards mean less frequent gutter maintenance, but the surface still needs clearing.
A blockage that sits in a downspout for a season is the one most homeowners miss. Water backs up, finds the seam, and runs down the wall. After heavy rainfall, that backed-up water is what stains the siding first. A gutter that looks clean from the driveway can still hold a clog, so the visit checks the runs, not the look. If you are not sure when to clean your gutters, ask for an estimate and the first visit answers it. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs and leave every run clean and flowing, and we put the photos on your phone so you can see the same runs we did.
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.
Pueblo gutter cleaning is what we do, and Pueblo homeowners who want a crew that shows up when it says it will are our regulars. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will pick a date with you. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and early fall, so calling early in those months is how you get your gutters on the schedule.
Lead time is listed on your quote, and if the landscape around a downspout is in the way, we say so when you book. Tell us if the job is urgent, such as water coming through a ceiling, and we will say what we can do. If you see a leak at a seam or a drip at the fascia, say so when you book. Our gutter services cover the surrounding areas on the same route, so the visit fits the day, and our cleanings are booked the same way. If your house has gutter guards, we lift them to clear underneath. Our crew checks that every run is clean before the truck leaves, and a clean first visit sets the baseline for every visit after. A single twig lodged in a downspout can become a clog that holds back a whole run, so we flush every downspout on the way out. Every visit ends with photos of gutters and downspouts on your phone, and those photos show you what we saw. They help you keep your gutters clear and protect your home from water damage.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before we book.
Most of our customers book in late May or June and again in October or early November. If you wait past the fall visit, we see sag and loose runs by March on houses that freeze hard.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. As a homeowner you don't have to be there. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, clear the landscape near the downspouts so the crew can reach them, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
We flush every downspout, check that water leaves at the outlet, and tell you if it does not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it. Debris goes in bags, and the landscape is left as we found it.
Yes, guards do not replace cleaning or maintenance, because a guarded gutter system still collects needles, seed casings and fine grit on top of the guard, and once that mat gets wet, rain runs off the front edge instead of into the gutter.
A clean gutter that still spills in the rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. If it only spills during heavy rainfall, send us a photo or a short video from that storm, because water that keeps going over the edge is how fascia rot starts, and we will tell you what it is.
The number we quote is the number we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
