Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Coral Terrace, flushes every run until the water runs clean at the bottom, and hauls the debris away. The price comes from your stories, house size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. Across Florida, spring visits fall in mid to late April and fall visits in November to December.
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 size 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. Coral Terrace, FL homeowners often ask how that compares with a per-foot rate. Other companies price per linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, though we do not work from a per-foot rate. Every homeowner gets a quote that includes a gutter cleaning service visit, with debris removal.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, and a clog at the elbow, or a blockage further along the run, adds time. Guards we have to lift and reseat do too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and drainage checks are included, and we watch the water flow until it runs clear at the bottom, with haul-off never billed as an extra. Cleaning and maintenance on the same visit go on one quote, which is the simplest way to get your gutters checked. The price buys a clean trough, not a partial job, and downspouts that carry water away from your home get the same flush. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
What we see most often on any lot is that the price stays flat once the crew is on the ladder, because we measure the stories and the run lengths from the ground before we give you a number. A run that looked fine in spring can leak once the wet season packs it, so the quote covers what we actually find. If you send a photo of the front of the house by text, we can usually give you a firm estimate the same afternoon. Every dollar of that figure is accounted for in the visit itself. Every run gets a clean finish before the crew moves on, and the crew will tell you about any change before the ladder goes up.
| 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 here book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the leaves are down. Across Coral Terrace, that rhythm holds for the whole gutter system. In spring we open the gutters and find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, plus the grit and buildup that sits in the trough through the rainy months. On houses that skipped the fall visit we find the runs that have sagged or pulled loose, and the boards behind them starting to rot, by the time the wet season is well underway. Once the runs are clean, the wet season is far easier on the whole gutter system.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a cycle of every three to four months, because needles and grit form a clog faster than the rain can clear it, and clogged downspouts back water up into the gutter. Coral Terrace gets about 66 inches of rain a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall lands on runs that are already full. Across Florida, hurricane season adds storm-blown branches and twig litter to the mix. Near a busy road, a landscape job site or active construction, the same schedule holds, since the grit settles in the trough. A lot with few or no trees is usually fine on once a year in late fall. Guards mean less often, though the surface still needs clearing, and we check under them every visit.
Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the gutter system doing its job. A clean gutter moves rainwater away from the foundation and helps protect your home from water damage, while a run with a sag can lead to structural damage. Keep your gutters on the calendar, and clean your gutters before the wet season starts, not after the first overflow. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Gutter maintenance and gutter cleaning services are the same visit in our schedule, so there is nothing else to book in between.
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 provides cleaning services in Coral Terrace from the nearest base, and our gutter services cover Coral Terrace homes and the surrounding areas. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and whether trees overhang the roof. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season and the day, and you can call (866) 435-6328 to get the first open date. The two busiest windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills earlier than usual, so calling early in those months gets you a better slot. The gutter cleaning process runs the same way every time: quote, visit, photos.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside, and it leaves the ground clean when it finishes. If you want the visit scheduled around a particular day of the week, say so when you book and we will see what the calendar allows. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same booking process, so commercial properties are quoted from what we see on the call, the same way residential properties are. Every run is left clean and photographed before the crew leaves.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We give it by phone or text, and it is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Wait too long after the leaves drop and the wet leaf mat is in the trough before the rains come.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most open slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the crew leaves a clean yard.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch it until it runs clean at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain, we check that drainage leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not; clearing a buried line is a separate job, quoted before we touch it.
Yes. On our jobs guards hold the leaves but let the needles, seed casings and grit settle on top of the guard, so we lift the panels, clear any clog underneath and check that water still gets in.
A rain gutter that is clean and still sheets rainwater over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. 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 a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. We measure the stories and the run lengths before we quote, and if something changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
