Our own crew cleans gutters, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls everything away, and photographs every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Jacksonville customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf drop are finished.
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 sitting in the gutters. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place, though the per-foot figure hides the stories and the steep pitch, which is where the real labor is.
What moves the quote on our Jacksonville homes: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run twenty-four feet up, a rain gutter nobody has opened in years where the compacted leaves and debris have to be dug out by hand, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can reach the trough. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of everything pulled from the gutters are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice. The same three things set the quote on commercial properties, so a storefront gets its number from the same questions.
On our jobs, one that shows the spread is a home where a gutter clog had built up along a run under heavy canopy, with water flow stopped at a blockage in the corner and clogged downspouts packed to the elbow. The crew cleared the buildup, flushed every downspout, left the run clean, and confirmed the drainage was carrying water away from your home. Left alone, water sitting at that corner is how structural damage starts. Most jobs in the city are simpler than that, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text gets us most of the way to a number before we ever speak.

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 book twice a year, and across Florida the two windows are mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and November to December, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in late spring we find seeds and pollen paste making a clog at the downspout elbows. By late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that sagged or pulled loose by spring.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see most, because needles and grit pack the downspout elbows between visits. A single twig wedged at a downspout elbow is enough to start a clog that the next storm fills. Heavy rainfall in the summer months fills a trough fast, so regular gutter cleaning matters more then. With few or no trees over a plain landscape, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Near a busy road or construction, the grit load pushes the schedule toward the shorter interval too. Guards change the job without ending it: they hold the big leaves off, but the surface still needs clearing and the drainage still needs checking. Cleaning and maintenance go on the same visit, and the trough comes out clean either way.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the rainwater flow off the eaves tells us more than any calendar does. If you want to know how often to clean your gutters, ask on the first call; gutter maintenance is set by what the lot needs, not by a fixed sheet. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date for your Jacksonville FL home, or text us a photo of the eaves and we will tell you what we see.
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 works across Jacksonville and the surrounding areas, and for homeowners we regularly clean gutters on the older, close-in streets as well as the newer subdivisions. We book residential and commercial jobs on the same basis, and residential properties get the same photo report as any other job. Booking a Jacksonville gutter cleaning is simple: give us stories, approximate size and whether trees hang over the roofline, and we quote it by phone or text. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for an exterior clean. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, the weeks after spring seed drop and the weeks after the last leaves, so booking early in those stretches keeps the date you want. Typical lead time shows on the booking line when you call. Our gutter services run the same way on every visit, and debris removal comes with it. Gutter guards get lifted, cleared underneath and reseated on the same visit, not billed as a separate job. Every homeowner who books with us gets the same thing from each of our cleanings: the gutter left clean, the gutters and downspouts flushed, and the photos on the phone. That is how you keep your gutters working and protect your home from water damage without making the visit a project. A leak at a seam or joint gets photographed and reported, not left for later.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. A two-story house with a normal pitch is quoted from those two things plus whether trees hang over the roofline. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted from your house, not from a sheet.
Across Florida the usual windows are mid to late April, after the seed drop, and November to December, after the last leaves. Our customers keep to that rhythm. If you wait past the leaf drop, the wet mat is harder to get clean and we more often find runs that have already started to sag. Under heavy trees, every three to four months is more realistic.
Most of our cleaning services in Jacksonville come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. If a same-day slot is open when you ask, we will tell you, but we would rather give you a date we can keep than promise one we cannot. Call and we will help you get your gutters on the schedule.
No. The gutter cleaning process runs outside only: the crew 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 with water and watch it until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often, but the surface still needs clearing. Guards change the gutter system without ending the cleaning and maintenance. On our jobs, twigs and seed casings thread through the guards and mat on top, so the trough can look empty while water never gets in. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the run, reseat the guards, and leave the trough clean.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope, capacity or downspout problem, not a debris problem. Water that keeps spilling over the front edge is how fascia rot starts, so the fix matters more than another visit. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and in that case you hear it and agree to it before they start. The price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
