Our own crew handles gutter cleaning services in Windsor CO. We flush every downspout, flow-test it, haul the leaves away, and take 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 the invoice. Across Colorado, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we run the same check on every house we work on.
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 runs. Gutter cleaning services are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A clean gutter system carries water off the house, and that is what the quote pays for. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the house is measured.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a steep pitch that cannot be walked changes how we work the back run. A walk-out basement puts the rear gutter far above grade. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves and grit, and that takes longer than a light clog. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and a sagging run needs more care to empty. Downspout flushing, flow testing and hauling away the leaves and debris are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is a recent job that shows the pattern. The house had mature trees along the back, and seed and needle buildup had started to block the downspout. The crew cleared the runs, flushed each downspout and confirmed the water flow all the way to the outlet, which is the step that stops a blockage from coming back a week later. That is the kind of job we see most often here, and it is why the quote always starts with what is actually in the gutter. See this job.
Our Windsor homes are not all alike, and the gutter we clean on one street can carry a very different load than the one two blocks over. Drainage problems usually show up first at the low end of the run, where water flow slows and the run starts to sag under the weight of wet buildup. We check that every time, because a sag is the first sign that the rain gutter is no longer carrying water away from your home. Clogged downspouts that go unnoticed can push water back into the eave, and a small leak at a seam can show up before any sag does.
That is the reason we inspect as we clean. Left alone, a blockage turns into structural damage that costs far more than a cleaning. We would rather find it in an afternoon than a rotted fascia board in the spring. Commercial properties with flat or low-slope tops face the same issue, and we handle those on a per-building schedule.
| 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 runs from October to early November, after the last leaves. Most of our customers book spring and fall, and that keeps the schedule the same from year to year. Our gutter cleaning service is built around those two windows. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In the fall the leaf mat gets wet, and the first heavy rainfall pushes rainwater over the edge. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose or sagged by March under the ice. Freeze and thaw is a real factor here, so the fall cleaning is about getting water moving before the cold sets in.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is the rhythm we see work, because leaves pack each downspout faster than the runs fill. Homes with few or no trees near the roofline usually do fine once a year in late fall. Guarded systems need less frequent work, but debris removal still happens on the surface, because what sits on top of the guard washes into the runs when it rains. Those are the three tiers we use, and the choice depends on what the lot actually sends into the runs.
A customer with no trees over the house books once a year in late fall, and that schedule keeps the water moving off the house through the winter. A second customer, with large trees over the house, is on the every three to four months schedule because the downspout fills with needles between visits. Each one is documented with the neighborhood and what we found at the first visit, and you can read those jobs through their links.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. We do not guess from the street. We open the runs, look at each downspout, check the flow, and write down what we found. For most houses, that first visit sets the schedule for the year ahead, and catching a clog early keeps a small cleaning from turning into a bigger repair. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you when to clean your gutters. The same three tiers apply to residential and commercial buildings.
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.
The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote, and our crew covers the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Windsor gutter cleaning is the same job whether it is an older block where the runs have been up for decades or a newer subdivision where the trees are still young. Each homeowner gets a call before every visit, so nobody has to be home. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your home's size and the tree cover over the house, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We provide the same gutter services on residential properties, whether it is one house or a row of townhomes, and the phone quote is the same for every house we serve.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, late spring and early fall, and we tell you the lead time when you call. If you want to book before the rush, a text with a photo of the front of the house gets things moving faster. We hold slots for the twice-a-year customers first, so the sooner you call, the easier it is to get your gutters done on the same date each season. Repeat cleanings keep that date once the schedule is set. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text, and we will confirm the next open date.
We work carefully around fences, the landscape beds and the side of the house. A twig or a seed clump goes in the bag, not on the lawn or the deck. We work around gutter guards the same way, lifting and reseating them rather than pulling them off. Our goal is to keep your gutters and downspouts working and protect your home from water damage, which is why we treat the cleaning as part of the larger job of keeping water away from the foundation. We flush every downspout on every visit. Thinking about gutter maintenance for the whole year? We can set up a schedule that matches your lot, and you can keep your gutters clear without guessing.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you over the phone or by text. We do not quote a range without those details, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the runs. The quote you get is the number we charge.
Across Colorado, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit runs from October to early November. Most of our customers book those two windows. If you wait until the snow months, the first freeze can lock the leaf mat into each downspout, and we find sagging runs by March on houses that skipped the fall visit. Those are the two windows we see most often on our jobs.
Most slots for cleaning services in Windsor come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. The same booking process runs across Windsor. If a same-day opening is available we will tell you on the phone, but we do not promise it.
No, you do not need to be home. 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, every downspout is flushed and we check the flow to the outlet. If a downspout drains into an underground line we confirm water is leaving the outlet, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we quote before we touch it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs attention. Needles and grit sit on top of the guard and work their way through the mesh, so the guard does not hide a blockage. We clear the surface, flush each downspout and check the flow. Guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, but they do not end it.
If a gutter is clean and still sends water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than what is in the run. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Water that keeps spilling over the edge can rot the fascia, so do not wait on it. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. The quote is built from stories, size and tree cover, and if anything at the house changes the job we tell you before work starts. You will not see a surprise on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
