Our own crew cleans gutters in Auburndale, flushes every run and flow-tests it, hauls everything off so the yard is clean, and takes photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs overhead, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed, pollen and leaves have finished dropping and the gutters have the most to hold.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on the number of stories, the square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 and we quote it by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price per linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, but our cleaning services in Auburndale are priced on the stories and how clean the gutters are, not on the foot.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care on the way down. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years hold packed leaves and seed that have to be dug out by hand, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add their own time. A single twig jammed in a bend can stop a whole run. Everything comes out and goes away from your home before the truck leaves, debris removal is included, and none of it is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is how our gutter cleaning process works on the houses we clean. An Auburndale homeowner with heavy tree cover usually sees a bigger quote than the same house under open sky, because the leaf load is heavier and the runs clog faster. Auburndale gets about 46 inches of rain a year, and that heavy rainfall is what finds a weak run first. What the crew finds on the roof sets the time, and the time sets the number, which is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text when it is easy to send one. Water that spills behind a clogged run is how a leak starts, and we photograph it for you rather than sell a repair on the spot. Cleaning and maintenance is one number on the phone, and gutter maintenance is priced the same way whether the gutter is open or guarded. Across our cleanings the same three things move the quote every time, so you can get your gutters priced once and know what to expect. Any customer example we would show you comes with its link, and the price stays with the quote that was given on the phone.
| 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 Auburndale most of our customers book the visit twice a year. Across Florida the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in November to December, after the leaves are down. Opening a gutter in that window tells us most of what we need to know about the house, and whether anyone has kept the gutter system clear since the last visit.
In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and a flush shows whether the water still moves. In fall we find the leaves and debris, a wet mat in the trough, and water running behind the fascia where the leaves have dammed it, and that is where a leak starts. A run that does not carry water away from the fascia lets it rot, and left long enough that causes structural damage to the fascia and soffit. Auburndale's wettest months are June, July and August, and that heavy rainfall is when a blocked run shows first. On houses that skipped the fall visit, the runs that sag or pull loose tend to show up by the rainy season, after a clog has held rainwater against the board.
The schedule depends on the tree cover. Under heavy tree cover, needles and grit leave clogged downspouts between visits, so those lots need a visit more often than the twice-a-year calendar, and we set the interval after the first look. With few or no trees, a single late-fall visit is often enough for a house. A landscape bed under a low eave sheds mulch and needles into the trough too, so the yard counts as much as the trees. A rain gutter with guards still fills more slowly, but the surface still needs clearing, so a guarded gutter system stays on the calendar at a slower pace. Cleaning and maintenance on a guarded run is mostly clearing the top of the guard, and that is ordinary gutter maintenance. Commercial properties run on their own calendar, so the schedule here is for homes. After the first visit we tell you how often your lot needs gutter cleaning services, and which tier it 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 cleaning services in Auburndale FL cover Auburndale homes from the nearest base, so the drive to your house is short across most of Auburndale. Homes in surrounding areas get the same phone check first. Booking runs on a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Tell us the number of stories, roughly how large the house is, and whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the front of the house if it is easy. The usual reasons to book are a clog, slow drainage, a sag in the run or a buildup of leaves, and we check the water flow at the outlet before we leave. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. This page is about residential properties, and commercial properties are quoted separately. Calls about residential and commercial work come to the same phone line, and we say up front which one we can take.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, spring and fall, so a slot taken earlier in the year holds you through the rest of it. Call early in those windows and we set the date around your schedule, so you can get your gutters done before the rain. Between visits, a clean trough and clear runs keep a house dry, and across Florida hurricane season is the time to look after any big storm if you want to clean your gutters yourself. Our gutter cleaning service and our other gutter services keep the same crew and the same debris removal on every visit, and the same record of what we found on each run, which is the simplest way to book a regular gutter cleaning.
Call for an estimate and the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text, for Auburndale homes and surrounding areas. Our gutter services are priced the same way, and we do not quote a figure from the outside of the house alone. The number you hear is the number on the invoice.
Our customers here book in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in fall after the leaves are down. A blockage in the trough holds rainwater against the fascia until the next storm, and if the fall visit gets skipped, the runs that sag tend to show up by the rainy season. Call us at (866) 435-6328 and we will set the date around your schedule.
Slots in the busy windows fill first, so we confirm the exact date when you call. We do not promise a same-day visit unless a slot is open that day, so call early in those windows.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and takes everything out of the gutters away from your home before the truck leaves. Photos of every run and downspout go to your phone. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the drainage at the outlet, so water away from the foundation is actually leaving. A clog that stops at the outlet shows up here, and a line that runs underground and is not draining needs a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it. Flushing itself is included in the number.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out of the trough at the roofline, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top of the guard and under it. The surface gets cleared and the guards get reseated, which is how you keep your gutters draining on a slower schedule than an open gutter.
A clean set of gutters and downspouts that still spills in the rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts. The number we gave on the phone is the number on the invoice, and a clear quote is how you protect your home from water damage in the first place.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
