Our own crew provides gutter cleaning services in Dunedin FL: every downspout flushed, each run flow-tested until it runs clean and drainage is confirmed at the outlet, the debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Dunedin gutter cleaning is priced from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book in spring and fall, when seed drop and leaf fall are heaviest, and we fit them in around those busy weeks. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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. The same three questions decide the quote for residential and commercial buildings alike. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we quote the whole house.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a clog of leaves and debris that has compacted in the trough and has to be dug and bagged by hand. Guards we have to lift, clean underneath and reseat add time, and so does a gutter system that has started to sag under its own weight. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Dunedin homes we have seen the quote climb most on older houses with heavy canopy over the back run, where the gutters hold a thick mat of leaves and grit that has settled into the downspout elbows, and clogged downspouts at the bend take the most time. Clearing from the bottom and the top before flushing through is what gets water moving again, and the run is clean before the crew leaves. Most of the time the difference between a quick visit and a longer one is how long the gutters have gone without a visit, and the photos go to your phone before the truck leaves.

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 Dunedin customers book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Florida, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and when we open a gutter then we find seeds and seed casings packed into the downspout elbows and a paste of pollen that has backed up behind the rain gutter. Even a clean gutter picks up seed and pollen within weeks. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, which can sit thick in the trough and start to decompose, and water held in the trough can rot the fascia board behind it if it is left through the rainy season.
Heavy tree cover changes the schedule. Under big trees over the roof, needles and grit pack the downspout bends between visits, and a single twig can lodge there and hold the whole run full, so most of those customers book cleanings every three to four months. Homes with few or no trees near the house can get by with one visit a year, at the fall visit. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because grit and seed casings sit on top of the guard and keep water from getting in.
We see the clog and the rainwater backing up at the eave most in late summer, when heavy rainfall has been running for months and the gutter has been holding debris since the last visit. Dunedin gets about 55.2 inches of rain a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months. A blockage at the downspout bend is hard to see from the ground, which is why the photos matter, and a missed one can turn into structural damage. After the first visit, with the gutters clean, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we send you the photos so you can see what we found. If you want a written estimate for a regular gutter cleaning schedule, ask for it when you call.
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 Dunedin reach across Dunedin and the surrounding areas, and our gutter services run from one crew base. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, based on stories, house size and tree cover, and a clean photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Every homeowner gets a call before the crew arrives, and nobody needs to be home, though we ask that the landscape under the ladder path is clear. Across Florida the busiest weeks are the spring and fall visits, when customers are clearing seed drop and leaf fall, so booking a few weeks ahead is the safest way to get your gutters done on the date you want.
Gutters exist to carry water away from your home, and for Dunedin homeowners who want to protect your home from water damage the simplest step is to keep your gutters on a regular schedule so the runs never back up. Our crew will flush every downspout on every visit, which keeps the run clean and catches the buildup that the rain alone won't clear before it becomes a leak. If you have a question about which schedule suits your lot, call or text a photo of the house and we will tell you what we see. Quotes for residential properties and commercial properties start from the building itself, so the call is the same either way. Our work covers gutters and downspouts only; we do not do repairs or installation, and anything else we find is photographed and reported to you.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Most of our Dunedin customers book twice a year, and across Florida the spring visit lands in mid to late April while the fall visit falls in November to December. If a gutter waits past the wet season, the leaf mat breaks down in the trough and can rot the fascia under it.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day gutter cleaning service.
No. The gutter cleaning process happens entirely outside, the crew does not come inside, and a clean set of photos of every run and downspout goes to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and move anything from the landscape beds that sits under a ladder.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested on every visit, and we check that the run is clean and that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Gutter maintenance still matters with guards, because on our jobs we find seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and that mat keeps water from getting in. A guard that stays clean on top lets water in less, which is why the surface still gets cleared, though the visits are usually less frequent.
A clean gutter system that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, often a run that has started to sag, not a debris problem. 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. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, not on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
