Our own crew gives your gutters a clean, careful pass, flushing every outlet and flow-testing each run, with the debris hauled away and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most homes book in mid to late April and in November to December, and we keep those windows open for local homes.
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 gutters. 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 maintenance by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot, but we would rather give homeowners one number for the whole house. Cleaning and maintenance are quoted together as one job, so there is no second number to wait for.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually the same handful of things. A third story or a steep pitch takes longer on the ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaf grit that has to be dug out by hand. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and debris hauled away from your home are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a typical visit, the crew finds the same thing again and again: seed casings, a twig or two, and leaf grit in the elbows, plus water that runs back behind the fascia when a run is too full to drain. A clean trough is only half the job, so the crew checks each outlet until it runs clear at the bottom. Heavy rainfall in the wet months will show a gutter that is holding back water faster than it can move it, so we flag it on the spot. For Cheval homeowners, the cleanings that go wrong are the ones where the crew skipped the outlets; a clean trough with a blockage in one elbow still lets water leak over the edge in the first heavy storm. That is why we check every outlet and tell you what we found at each one.
Here is how our gutter cleaning process usually plays out in Cheval FL. You call or text, we ask about stories and trees, and we give you the number. Then we schedule a visit, the crew arrives, and the clean runs from the top down. We do not sell repairs or installs off the back of it. If something else is wrong, a loose hanger or a seam that drips, it goes in the photo report, and what you do about it is up to you.
Get your gutters clean and on the schedule before the wet season takes hold, and you will not be on the phone in the middle of a storm asking why water is coming over the edge.

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 Florida, most homes book a clean twice a year, in mid to late April after the seed and pollen drop, and in November to December after the last leaves have come down. In April we open the gutter and find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose from the fascia by the next spring. A gutter system here takes the full rainy season, and the first visit tells us how much of that it can handle before it backs up.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the house, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. A clean once a year in late fall is enough for homes with few or no trees. Near a busy road or a construction site the dust settles into the gutter faster than the leaves do, so those lots also go on the shorter schedule. Across Florida the pattern holds: the rain gutter is the first thing to show a problem after hurricane season, and the clogged downspouts are the second.
Here is what we look for at each visit on Cheval homes, and why the schedule matters. The spring visit leaves a clean trough before the seed and pollen load can rot into the boards, and it catches any run that has started to sag. The fall visit clears the leaves before the heavy rain and the wet months can turn them into a sealed mat. In between, the leaves and debris sit up top and feed the buildup that causes structural damage to the fascia and soffit. Rainwater that cannot drain gets pushed sideways, and on a sloped landscape it finds the foundation. A clog at the outlet is the one that matters most, since Cheval gets about 60.7 inches of rain a year and June, July and August are the wettest months. A regular gutter cleaning helps protect your home from water damage.
On our jobs, homes that stay on a schedule keep the rot out of the fascia, and the ones that wait until water comes over the edge pay for it in damage. After the first visit we tell you how often you should clean your gutters, and we write it down so you have it in hand.
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 gutter cleaning services run across Cheval FL and surrounding areas, and the visits are booked from our nearest base. Booking is simple: you call or text, we ask about stories and tree cover, and if it is easy we ask for a photo of the front of the house. That gives us what we need to quote over the phone or by text, and we hold the slot once you accept. Lead times depend on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, the calendar fills first, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to keep your gutters on the date you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for an exterior clean. If you do want to be there, you are welcome, but the crew does not come inside the house. We book residential and commercial work on the same calendar, and commercial properties get their own scheduling step, separate from residential properties. We provide cleaning services in Cheval FL and regular gutter care for residential properties, and we keep a fixed slot open for the customers who want their gutters cleaned on the same day every year. Once a run is clean, the crew checks the water flow and the drainage at the outlet, then takes the photo before moving on.
If you are not sure whether your home needs the spring or the fall visit, or both, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us what you see up top and in the gutters now. Our gutter services start with that look, and we will tell you what the crew would find and whether it is worth booking this month or the next.
Your estimate comes from stories and square footage, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story house with a steep pitch and one with a low pitch are two different jobs. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and the size, and you will have a firm number before we book anything.
The right window depends on the tree cover and the season. Across Florida, most homes book in mid to late April and again in November to December. If you wait longer than that, we find seeds and leaf mat packed into the elbows, and water that has already backed up over the roofline and started rot on the fascia.
We confirm the exact date when you call. Same-day visits depend on the calendar for our gutter cleaning service that week, so ask when you book and we will tell you what we have open.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up; that is the whole list.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. If the pipe feeds an underground line that will not clear, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep the leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and into the guard, and that mat can turn the water away from the gutter. We lift the panels, clean underneath, and check that water is getting into the gutters and downspouts.
A clean gutter that still overflows in the rain usually has a slope or outlet problem, not a clog or leftover debris. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The price is set from stories, size and tree cover before we arrive, and if the crew finds something that changes the job you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are already in the number.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
