Our own crew cleans gutters in Homestead FL, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess 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 house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book in mid to late April and again in November to December, and we find a first visit usually settles which schedule your lot needs. The gutter comes out clean, and the photos prove it. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar.
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, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the stories and the eave line decide more than the length does. Our cleaning services in Homestead are quoted the same way for every homeowner who calls, and repeat cleanings are quoted the same way too.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on arrival. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck and take more time to clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. If the crew finds a leak at a seam, it is photographed and reported, and it is quoted separately before anyone touches it. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every house: the trough is emptied by hand, every downspout is flushed, and the crew checks that water leaves at the bottom. A clean run is the goal, not a guess. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included and are never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, not on the invoice.
Across Florida, the homes we clean are a mix of single-storey and two-storey houses, and the cost difference between them is almost always the height of the work, not the size of the house. When a homeowner asks us to walk the lot before a quote, we photograph the eave line and tell them what we expect to find. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a range for your lot before the crew is scheduled. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your quote. Gutter maintenance is priced on the work you actually need, and a twig or two in the trough is part of a normal visit, not an add-on. Ladder stand-offs hold the ladder away from your home so nothing rests on the gutter lip, and the cleaning and maintenance side of the job is quoted up front.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

| 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.
Across Florida, most of our customers book twice a year, in mid to late April after the seed and pollen drop, and again in November to December after the last leaves have fallen. On our jobs the spring visit finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and the fall visit finds leaves and debris sitting in the trough through the rainy season. Clogged downspouts are the first sign. When we open a gutter here in the wet summer months and flush it, the flow is often half what it should be, and that is the clog building up.
Under heavy tree cover, the schedule changes. Needles and grit pack the drain outlets between visits, so those lots are on every three to four months. Near a busy road, a construction site or a freshly worked landscape bed the grit load is higher and the same schedule applies. A house with few or no trees is fine on once a year in late fall, and a house with gutter guards still needs its surface cleared, though less often than an open gutter. The rain gutter itself is the same job on each lot; what changes is how quickly the buildup forms. The buildup shows fastest in heavy rainfall, and a gutter that sits full through a storm is the one that sags first. A clean gutter on a shaded lot still gets a second look at the downspout.
Freeze risk does not apply here the way it does in colder cities, so we do not sell a winter-prep visit here. Our crew does check each run for a sag or a loose hanger during the fall visit, because a gutter that has been sitting full all summer will often show a bend by the time the rain stops. A sagging run can pull away from the fascia and let water in behind it, which is how structural damage starts. A tight run keeps water away from the fascia, and the rot that follows a missed sag is slow to show. Regular gutter cleaning twice a year keeps a gutter system level, and a clean inspection at the fall visit catches a sag while it is still a bend. Any leak at a joint is photographed and reported on the same visit. We clean gutters across Homestead and the surrounding areas, and after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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.
The crew covers Homestead from the nearest base, and we work across the neighborhoods on the same schedule. Homestead homes get the same crew and the same photos. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your size and your tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm a date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Across Florida, our calendar fills in two busy windows, mid to late April and November to December, when most of our customers book their spring and fall cleanings. Our gutter cleaning service fills fastest in those windows, so booking early gives you the most choice of date. Spring and fall are the peak, and those two visits are what keep a gutter system running clear. Outside them a slot usually comes up sooner, and we can plan a visit around your schedule.
Residential and commercial work runs on the same crew and the same reporting, so the photos and the flow check are the same whether it is a house or a building. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential properties and commercial properties alike, and every run is left clean. The crew checks each drainage outlet and confirms the water flow runs clear and away from the foundation. Debris removal is part of the visit, not a separate trip. If something other than the gutter shows up higher on the house, the crew photographs it and puts it in the report. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the list, and we will tell you what the crew needs to see.
The number comes from the stories and the square footage, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a figure from the road, so send us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what it will be.
Across Florida, most of our customers book in mid to late April and again in November to December. If you wait longer than that, the seed load and the wet leaf mat build up, the downspout clogs, and rainwater spills over the edge. To clean your gutters on time, book in those windows and the crew will clear the gutters and downspouts in one visit.
We also serve surrounding areas. We confirm the date when you call, and most slots come up within the week. Same-day work depends on the calendar that week, so ask us when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter services are done from outside, and the crew does not come inside. Before the truck leaves, you get photos of every run and downspout on your phone. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and flow-test it so we can see the water leave at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving, but clearing a buried line is a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, although less often. On our jobs we find leaf litter and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and grit settling underneath, and a blockage there stops the water before it reaches the trough. So we clear the surface and check that water is actually getting in.
A clean gutter that still spills over the edge in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Fixing that is how you protect your home from water damage. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, and the crew checks the roofline and the downspout run first. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised with you and agreed before the crew starts, so the number on the invoice matches the number we quoted by phone. Our job is to keep your gutters running clear for the price you were given.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
