Our own crew cleans your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, 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, when seed drop and the last leaves have finished coming down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price on Kendall homes depends on how many stories the house has, how big it is and what is sitting in the gutters, whether that is leaves and debris or packed seed. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning services are priced from those answers, and other companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place once the stories and access are counted. Even a light job means the crew has to clean the runs by hand. We do not give a price here, because the figure that fits your house comes from those answers.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline at the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and that takes longer than a light cleaning. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and a single twig jammed in an elbow can stall a run that otherwise looks clear. The quote covers the whole gutter system, flushing, flow testing and haul-off, and none of it is billed as an extra. We flush every downspout, and everything the crew pulls out goes away from your home in the truck. If something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Kendall jobs the clog usually shows up at the same few places: the elbow at the bottom of each downspout, the low end of a run where the pitch is flat and drainage stalls, and the corners where a leaf mat sits. Clogged downspouts are the first thing the crew clears, because a packed run backs water up behind the fascia and can start a sag or fascia rot within a season. The point of the visit is to get water away from the house, so those spots come first on the list. When the gutters are clean and water still runs over the edge, the problem is slope or capacity, not buildup, and we tell you that plainly.
Here is how the experience works in practice. On one job the house had three stories on the back run and a heavy tree canopy over the roof. The crew needed a lift for the full length, had to clean the packed runs, flushed every downspout and photographed each one before leaving. The quote had already included that work, so the price did not change on the roof. Homeowners and owners of commercial properties ask the same question, and it is the same answer: will the number hold once we are up there? It does, because we measure stories and access on the phone and confirm the rest before we arrive.

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.
On our jobs most customers book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Florida the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we find runs holding water and a gutter that has started to pull loose. How often to clean your gutters depends on the trees around the house. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough.
A clog that sits through a rainy season does more than slow the rainwater down. Kendall gets about 66 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are June, August and September, so heavy rainfall hits when a blockage does the most damage. Standing water in a blockage works into the fascia and the roofline, and wet wood that stays wet long enough starts to rot. The first sign is usually a stain on the ceiling, a leak at the seam or a run that starts to sag. Water that sits this long can lead to structural damage before anyone sees it. That is why the spring and fall visits are scheduled before the rain sets in, not after, so the runs are clean when the first storm arrives. Our Kendall fl customers who keep to a schedule rarely need a repair call, because the gutter cleaning service catches the problem while it is still a clog. On the houses that skip a visit, the buildup is often what turns a simple gutter cleaning into a longer job.
Guards change the schedule, not the need. Under guards the crew still has to clean the surface grit and check each downspout, and the visit is shorter than on an open gutter. Regular gutter cleaning on the schedule above keeps each visit small, and gutter maintenance does not stop because the guards are on. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, whether that is twice a year, every three to four months, or once a year, and we keep to it. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
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 covers every neighborhood from the nearest base, and we don't clean one corner and call the job done. Booking for Kendall gutter cleaning runs by phone or text: give us the stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy. Here is the gutter cleaning process: a quote on the same call, a confirmed date, then the crew on site. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call rather than guess at it.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, the weeks after the spring seed drop and the weeks after the first hard leaves. If you want a slot in either window, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. We clean residential and commercial properties on the same calendar, and the photos come to your phone when the job is done. Every visit covers gutters and downspouts on the whole house, not only the runs you can see from the driveway. Debris removal is part of every visit, and the crew steps around landscape beds, so the yard is left as it was found. For a homeowner who wants to protect your home from water damage, this is the simplest way to keep your gutters ready for the rain, and the same crew handles the gutter services you add later.
Surrounding areas are served on the same schedule, and the calendar is the same wherever your house sits, in the middle or on the edge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get your gutters on the calendar, and we will tell you the earliest date we have.
The number comes from the stories, the size and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text before anything is booked.
Across Florida the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, and most of our customers book those two windows for gutter maintenance. Wait past the fall visit and the leaf mat is wet, and by the time the rain sets in the runs are starting to sag.
Most slots come up within the week across Kendall, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and steps around landscape beds. They still clean every run while you are out, and photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested as part of the quote. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under guards the crew still has to clean the surface. A guarded gutter system still collects needles, seed casings and grit on top, and that has to be cleared for the water to get in. Treat it as cleaning and maintenance, not a one-time fix.
A clean gutter that still runs over in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem. If the fascia behind it has gone soft, that is rot, and it is worth catching now. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is.
It should not. We measure stories and access on the phone, and anything that changes the job is raised and agreed before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
