Our crew gives your gutters a proper clean from end to end, every run flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled away, and photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover shades the home, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been doing this work with the same crews for spring and fall visits across Florida, and most homeowners who book with us do it on that twice-yearly rhythm.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the rain gutter now. We quote our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the run count is added up, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house than make you multiply.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift rather than a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises how high the back run sits off the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves and grit, which takes longer to clear than a normal season's load. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, and so does getting each run clean to the bottom. Flushing, water flow checks and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter on a home here, the usual story is the same: the clog sits at the elbow, water backs up along the run, and the sag shows up where the hangers have been carrying wet leaves for a season. Left alone, a sag like that can lead to rot and structural damage in the fascia and soffit. Plenty of Apopka homeowners have a few years of buildup in the back run that nobody has checked, and clearing it early keeps water away from the foundation. The same applies on the commercial side, where clogged downspouts send water onto walkways and the crew sets a schedule per building that fits the tenant's calendar.
Our local cases show the pattern clearly. On one house with no trees near it, the job was a standard two-story clean with a light leaf load, and the quote came in on the phone with no surprises. On another under heavy tree cover, the leaves and debris had packed three outlets solid and the crew had to flush the whole system twice before the water ran clear at the bottom. You can read that job on its case page. The point is that the gutter cleaning process follows what is in the gutters, and we tell you what we found before we charge for it.
If you want a written estimate, text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what to expect. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a quote from your stories and size.

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 in Apopka FL book twice a year. Across Florida, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in November to December, after the last leaves are down. In April the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the outlet elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the time the rains settle in. The wettest stretch of the year, June through August, is when a clog costs you the most in standing water, and heavy rainfall makes that worse.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning runs on a three to four month schedule, because needles, grit and small twigs pack the drains between visits faster than a twice-a-year clean can keep up. A house with few or no trees near it usually does fine on once a year in late fall. Guards reduce the load but do not remove it, so they still need the surface cleared, though less often than an open system.
What we find at each visit depends on where you are on that calendar. A spring visit tells you whether the drainage held all winter. A fall visit tells you whether rainwater is still pooling along the roofline into the rainy season. Each visit adds to the record of the gutter, and that record is what lets us say when the next clean is due. A blockage that builds slowly over two seasons is much cheaper to clear than one that has already rotted a fascia board, and the crew sees that difference on every job.
If your home has a commercial side, or you run residential and commercial properties on one account, the schedule is set per building. For residential properties the crew works to your calendar, and for commercial properties we set a recurring visit so nothing gets missed during a busy season. Either way the crew photographs each run before it leaves, so you can see the state of the gutter after every clean, as part of your gutter maintenance record. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the schedule, or ask us to send the estimate by text.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Until then, book the spring visit and let our gutter cleaning service show you where the water goes. That is how you keep the water away from your home.
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 Apopka and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we have cleaned gutters on homes in several neighborhoods in past seasons. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, built from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover shades the home. If you can send a photo of the house front, that helps us give you a firmer number before we get your gutters on the calendar. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busiest windows are late April and November, when most of our calendar fills with spring and fall visits.
We call before we come, and no homeowner needs to be home for the visit. If you want the work done before the next rain, mention it when you book, and we will tell you honestly whether a slot is open that week. We keep the calendar short on purpose so each crew can finish a clean job without rushing the flushing, the removal of any twig jammed in an outlet, or the photos. Once the visit is on the schedule, the crew sends a reminder the day before, so you know exactly when to expect them and can keep the side gate unlocked.
Every homeowner who wants to keep the gutters working between visits can check the gutters and downspouts after a heavy rain and note any water that is slow to drain, or any leak at a seam. Gutter services are most useful when cleanings catch a clog early, and booking on schedule can protect your home from water damage that would otherwise reach the fascia and the foundation. Our crew is there to give that protection and that gutter maintenance without the guesswork.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before the crew is booked. We do not quote a range without knowing the house, and the number we give is the number we charge.
Across Florida, most customers book the spring visit in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, after the seed and the leaves are down. If you wait past those windows, the clog usually gets heavier and the water sits in the trough through the rainy season from June to August.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If you need the work sooner because of an active overflow, tell us when you book and we will say honestly what the calendar allows.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Move planters and lawn chairs away from the landscape under the downspouts before the crew arrives. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the crew handles the cleaning and maintenance.
Yes, we flush every drain and keep at it until the water runs clean at the bottom. Where a drain feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under heavy tree cover, guards keep the big leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and under the panels. We clean the surface, flush the drains and reseat the guards, and the job usually runs shorter than an open system.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised and agreed before the crew starts, and the price you were quoted is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something you did not expect, you hear it before the work begins, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
