Our own crew cleans gutters in Hobe Sound, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves and debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, which is when we see the most seed, pollen and leaf load in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline for a written estimate.
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 what is in the gutters. We quote residential and commercial properties the same way, over the phone or by text, from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but we find stories and clog load are what actually drive the job.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk. A walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the house. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with compacted muck, where the buildup has to be broken loose before the water flow and drainage can come back. Guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get at the trough. We check the gutters, flush every downspout, and include debris removal, so the trough is left clean before we pack up. None of that is billed as an extra, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Hobe Sound homes show the pattern. On a house with heavy tree cover, the sag and clog load comes from the same few runs every visit, and that is why the crew keeps those runs on the list. Per visit, the number is set by what we see, not by a rate card. Hobe Sound homeowners who ask us for the number on the phone hear which of these applies to their house before we book the date.
| 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 in Hobe Sound FL book twice a year: across Florida, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in November to December, after the last leaves come down. In the spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that sag or pull loose by the next rain season. Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months keeps the rainwater moving, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. Few or no trees, once a year is usually enough, and it leaves the trough clean for the summer rains.
When we open a gutter on the spring visit, the question is whether the buildup has reached a blockage at the elbow, and we check the trough of the rain gutter for the first sign of a leak where water runs behind it. Keeping the trough clean is one of the simplest ways to keep water away from your home, so heavy rainfall runs down the downspout instead of over the front edge, and it protects your home from water damage across the surrounding areas. Skipped cleanings are how a fascia board starts to rot and a soft fascia turns into structural damage, so the next visit is also the time to talk about the gutter services we offer.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the schedule follows from that. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the spring or fall date and keep your gutters clean and on track.
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 from the nearest base and cover residential properties across Hobe Sound as a whole, so the quote comes from the house, not from the zone. Hobe Sound bookings are taken by phone or text: send the stories, the approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof, plus a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. Every homeowner gets the quote before the date is set. The lead time on your date depends on the calendar, and the two busiest windows are the spring and fall visits, when most of our customers want a slot at the same time.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the job. Ask about the gutter guards you already have, the clean you want on the front run, and the gutter maintenance schedule that fits your lot. Cleaning and maintenance are quoted together, and if landscape runs close to the foundation, tell us on the call. Give us the details and we will set the gutter cleaning process around your day, so you can get your gutters done with the crew arriving in the window we confirm on the call. Tell us about any twig or limb sitting in the trough. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book your date.
We price our cleaning services in Hobe Sound by stories and house size, and we give you the number by phone or text. We do not quote a range here; we quote your house. Flushing every downspout and hauling the leftovers away are in the number.
Across Florida, most customers book a visit in mid to late April and again in November to December, after the seed drop and after the leaves are down. Wait too long between visits and the clog load packs the elbows, so clean your gutters on that schedule and the trough stays open.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If a same-day slot is open on our calendar when you reach us, we will tell you then.
No. Our 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.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the drainage is leaving at the outlet, so a clogged downspout gets caught on the visit. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. A guarded gutter system still collects needles, seeds and grit on top of the guard, and the trough fills underneath it. We clean the surface, flush the downspouts and reseat the guards.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge 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. Water that keeps sitting behind the trough is how the fascia starts to rot.
Only if something changes the job, and in that case you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
