Our own crew handles Security-Widefield gutter cleaning from start to finish. Every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested, the debris is hauled away, the gutters come out clean, and you get 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 sits over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our crews come out every spring and fall, and that is the rhythm most homeowners here keep.
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. Every gutter cleaning service we sell starts from those same three inputs. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we prefer to see the house before we say a figure.
On our jobs, four things move the quote. 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 lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the driveway. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves and grit, and that takes more time than a normal clog to get clean. A gutter system with a leak at a joint usually holds wet grit behind the seam, and we clear it from both sides. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we see when we open a gutter run in a Security-Widefield homes neighborhood. Leaves and debris pile up at the low spot, a twig wedges across the outlet, the sag from years of weight shows at the hangers, and the buildup at the elbow is often the clog that makes the water flow back over the edge. A run can look clean from the ladder and still hold packed seeds at the elbow. We flush every downspout and watch the water until it runs clean at the bottom, so the rain has a clear path away from your home. Commercial properties in town get the same method, scheduled per building, and our crew is on the same ladder for both. Our rain gutter jobs and clogged downspouts jobs are priced the same way, and we have seen the structural damage that comes from skipping a season.
If you want a figure for your house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number from what we can see. Ask for a written estimate if you want it on paper before the crew books the date.

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 finishes. Most of our customers here book the fall visit for October to early November, after the last leaves are down. That spring and fall rhythm covers most houses, and we find the same things each time. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In fall it is the leaf load, and on our jobs the first ice and the ice dams at the eave come with it. A run that skipped the fall visit often shows sag, pulls loose by March, and the fascia board behind it can start to rot. Whether you clean your gutters yourself or book a crew, do not skip the fall visit.
Residential properties under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, see clogs come back faster, so they need regular gutter cleaning every three to four months. Needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. Few or no trees over the roof means once a year in late fall is enough. Gutter guards still need the surface cleared and kept clean, and we book those on a less frequent schedule with the top of the guard checked each time.
Heavy rainfall is where a blockage shows itself. Security-Widefield gets about 18.1 inches of precipitation a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so a backed-up run shows up fast. Snow adds about 32.5 inches a year, mostly from October through April. Rainwater runs off the roofline into whatever is left in the trough, and a blockage anywhere in the run pushes it back over the edge. That is why our visits focus on the whole run, not just the stretch you can see from the street. A gutter can look clean from the ground and still have the downspout backed up. Ask for an estimate, or call (866) 435-6328 to set a date, and after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 works across Security-Widefield and the surrounding areas, and we handle cleaning services in Security-Widefield for homes in each part of town. When you call, we ask about stories, size and tree cover, and if it is easy a photo of the front of the house by text is enough to start. We give the quote by phone and confirm the date, and the lead time depends on the week. Our busy windows are late spring and late fall, when most of the town books at once, so the earlier you call the easier it is to get the day you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Clean gutters are the point of the visit: good drainage keeps water away from the foundation, and that is what protects your home from water damage before the rain sets in. Our gutter cleaning services include cleaning and maintenance on the gutters and downspouts, and where a homeowner also wants the exterior glass done, we can schedule the glass for a separate visit.
We handle residential and commercial jobs, and the photo process is the same for both. If you already use other gutter services and want a second opinion on the work, we are happy to look. Most of our customers book repeat cleanings in spring and fall, and the schedule is easy to keep. Keep your gutters clean and working through the rainy months by booking the next visit before the last one is out of mind. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule before the fall rush, call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing those two things. Once the number is set, it is the number on the invoice.
Across Colorado, the spring visit lands in late May to June, and most of our customers here book the fall visit for October to early November. That gutter maintenance schedule catches the seed and leaf load before it sets. If you wait past the first hard freeze, the wet leaf mat and any ice at the eave are harder to clear and more likely to sag the run by March.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service because the schedule fills in the busy windows of spring and fall.
No. The gutter cleaning process runs outside, and our crew does not come inside. Photos of every run and downspout reach 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 watch the water until it runs clear at the outlet. Keep landscape beds clear of the outlet so the water has room to run. If a line runs underground and water is not leaving the outlet, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under guards we find needles, seed casings and debris sitting on top of the mesh, and once that mat is wet the rain runs over the edge. The job is shorter than an open gutter, but the surface still needs to be kept clean and the downspout still gets flushed.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice unless you have approved a change in writing first, and the yard is left clean when the crew leaves.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
