Our own crew cleans your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the waste hauled away, and 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 hangs over the eaves, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Florida customers book in the spring and fall, so pick a date with us and we will confirm it when you call.
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 how much leaves and debris sits in the gutters and downspouts. We quote residential properties over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a flat number from the three facts above is easier to check before the crew arrives.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep pitch you cannot walk changes the crew's time on the ladder more than anything else. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave at the back, so that run needs a boom or scissor lift. Landscape beds right up against the wall push the ladder farther out, which adds time too. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaf mass, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time on every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Once a run is clean, the crew checks the water flow through it to the downspout. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Bithlo homes we often find that the gutter is not the only problem. A clog at the elbow of a downspout, a twig or a wad of grit, can push water back up the run, and a run that has sagged leaves a low spot where rainwater sits. Clogged downspouts and a sag like that are the usual reasons a gutter is not doing its job, and packed grit at the elbow is where we look first. We check the drainage that carries water away from your home while we are on the ladder and tell you what we see. The residential and commercial jobs we clean, including commercial properties, are quoted the same way, but this page is about the houses on our route. Our crew will flush every downspout, and where a line runs underground we tell you what it is doing at the outlet.
A homeowner who sends a photo of the front of the house by text gets a read on the stories, the tree cover and the likely time before we book the crew. Any rain gutter that has pulled loose from the fascia gets a note in the photo report, and it is not sold as a repair on the spot.
| 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 customers book twice a year, in the spring after seed and pollen drop, and in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Florida the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, and the fall visit usually lands in November to December. When we open a gutter here in the spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall we find the leaves and the grit they leave behind, so we clean the run before the first heavy rainfall.
Under heavy tree cover the rhythm changes. Needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, so those lots go on regular gutter cleaning every three to four months. A lot with few or no trees is fine once a year in late fall. Gutters with guards still need the surface clean, usually on the same schedule as the open gutters on the lot, because the mat on top of a guard turns to paste and the water never gets in. Miss a season and the rhythm breaks, so the simplest rule is to clean your gutters on the schedule the lot calls for.
A clog that sits all year is a problem for the whole roofline and gutter system, not just the run. We see rainwater pooling at the low spots of a sag, and the blockage holds water against the fascia board until it softens and the joint starts to leak. That soft wood is where rot starts, and structural damage follows. Buildup in the trough makes it worse each season. A gutter that is only cleaned once every few years can look fine from the ground and still hold a summer's worth of standing water up under the eave.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your Bithlo FL lot actually needs. Most lots start with two cleanings a year, and our gutter cleaning service includes debris removal and puts the next date in the photo report so you can see what we found on the first run.
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 can clean gutters across Bithlo and the surrounding areas, and we work the neighborhoods where we have cleaned before. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring and the fall, so if you want a particular week, call early. Bithlo gutter cleaning books up fastest then, so get your gutters on the calendar before the rush.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, so a side gate that is open is usually all we need. If you have a question about the job before we arrive, call (866) 435-6328 and we will answer it. Ask about any of our gutter services on that same phone line, and you hear the same answer whoever picks up.
Homeowners here often have trees over the house, and those change the quote and the calendar, so we ask about them on the first call. That is the one thing we need to know to keep your gutters on the right tier, and the rest of the booking follows from it. A gutter on the right schedule is what helps you protect your home from water damage through a wet year.
The estimate comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range on the page, because the figure depends on what is in your gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the number before we book.
Most of our customers book in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall after the last leaves. If you wait past that, the blockage gets packed and the first heavy rainfall finds the low spots. Across Florida the spring and fall pattern holds, and a tree-heavy lot goes every three to four months, which is the gutter maintenance most of those lots need.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Our cleaning services in Bithlo are not promised same-day, because the calendar moves with the weather and the spring and fall rush.
No. The gutter cleaning process is outside only: our crew does not come inside, and 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 run out at the bottom until it runs clean. Where a line runs underground 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. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seeds and grit sit on top of the guard and turn to a paste that lets water run over the edge. Guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often. We lift the panels, clear what sits underneath, and reseat them.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris 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 problem.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and then you hear about it and agree before work starts, never on the invoice. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
