Our own crew cleans gutters in Brent, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris 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 roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been booked here most spring and fall visits, once the seed and leaf drop has finished, so we know what a Brent gutter looks like when it is full.
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 buildup is sitting in the gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather tell you the whole job up front.
On our jobs, a few 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. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out packed solid and take more hours than a clog that formed last season. A run that comes out clean on the first flush is the quick case, and a run packed solid for years is the long one. Clogged downspouts at the elbow add time, and so do guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we see most often on our recent Brent work. A homeowner with heavy tree cover had a rain gutter packed solid, with the elbow clogged and a slow leak behind the fascia at one corner. The crew cleared the runs, flushed each downspout until the water runs clean at the bottom, and photographed the drainage path before leaving. The number came from stories, size and tree cover, the same three things we use on every quote.
Brent homes vary, and our cleaning services in Brent are scoped the same way for each one. We look at what is holding the leaves and debris, where the water is supposed to go, whether the landscape around the foundation is holding water against the house, and whether any section is showing structural damage or sag. If the water flow is blocked before it reaches the downspout, we say so in the photos. We do not sell a second job from the ladder. Residential properties are quoted by stories and size, commercial properties are quoted per building, and the same rule applies to both: the number you hear is the number you pay.
| 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 Brent customers book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Florida the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit here runs December to early January. In spring we open the downspout elbows and find seeds and pollen paste packed in tight. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see a run sagging by the next spring. Under heavy tree cover we see clogs form faster, so those customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. A gutter that is only lightly used by the weather will still run clean through a summer of heavy rainfall.
When we open a gutter here after a summer of heavy rain, we often find a blockage at the first elbow, and by the next fall visit the same clogged downspout has a wet mat sitting above it. The rainwater has nowhere to go, so it spills over the front edge and runs down the siding. Left through a rainy season, that is how structural damage starts at the fascia. Our crew sees it on every visit, and it is the reason we check the drainage on each run rather than just the gutter bed.
Brent gets about 68 inches of rain a year, with June, July and August the wettest months, so the schedule follows the calendar. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Our calendar fills most in spring and fall. Tell us if the landscape drops leaves onto the roof, and the estimate for your next visit is based on what we found on this one, so you know when to clean your gutters again.
For residential and commercial properties alike, the same rule holds: a gutter with a clog above the downspout is a gutter that is not doing its job. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the roofline clean and clear, and gutter maintenance is the simplest way to keep water away from your home without any repair work. Once you have had your first visit, you will know the interval your house needs. The debris removal is part of every visit, so there is nothing to haul yourself.
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.
We clean gutters across Brent from our crew base, and our gutter services cover every route as the calendar opens. Booking Brent gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text. Send us the number of stories, a rough square footage, whether trees hang over the roof and whether you have gutter guards, and a photo of the house front if that is easy. Once we have those, we give you a date and the number on that date. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the day when you call.
The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the leaf drop each arrive. If you want a particular week in those months, call early so we can get your gutters on the calendar. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our crew works outside, so you can keep the house as it is, and the crew leaves the yard as clean as it found it. A twig lodged on the roof gets cleared with the rest of the debris.
We cover Brent and the surrounding areas, and the crew can reach most houses in the city in one trip. If you have a question about whether we service your street, call and we will tell you. Some of our work is for Brent homeowners who want to protect your home from water damage, and some is for property managers who want the job done once and done right. Either way, the work is the same: keep your gutters and downspouts running, flush every downspout, and leave you with photos to see the result.
The number 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 figure without those details, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you.
Across Florida the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and in Brent the fall visit runs December to early January, after the leaves come down. If you wait past that fall visit, the wet leaf mat can freeze into the runs, and that is when sag and fascia rot show up.
We confirm a date when you call, and most slots come up within the week. We do not promise same-day service.
No. The gutter cleaning process happens outside only: the crew arrives in the window we gave you, works from ladders with stand-offs, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested. Where a downspout 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 quoted separately.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep the leaves out but the seeds, needles and grit sit on top, and the runs still need checking. We clear what sits on the guard so the runs stay clean and make sure water is getting in.
If a gutter is clean and still spills over the front edge in rain, that is a slope or capacity problem, not a leaf problem. The water should leave by the downspout and run away from your home. Text us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for it.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or ask us for a written estimate for your cleaning and maintenance visits.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
