Our own crew cleans gutters around here, and we flush every outlet, flow-test it, haul the debris away and take photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you that number. Across Florida, most of our customers book for spring and fall, and that is when the crew is busiest.
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 it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the stories and the layout of the gutter system decide most of the number.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run, and drainage problems at the low corner usually show up there first. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and debris, and that takes longer than a light clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Lauderhill homes come in every age and shape, and the gutter that looks fine from the driveway often has a clog at the elbow, a sag where the hanger has loosened, or a buildup that is holding water against the fascia. On one of our jobs, a two-story house with moderate tree cover had a clogged run that had been overflowing at the corner for months; the crew cleared it, flushed the run and confirmed the water flow all the way to the outlet. The quote came from the stories and the tree cover, and nothing changed once the crew was up the ladder. A flow problem like that is what we look for, because standing water is how structural damage starts, and it is how a gutter quietly pulls away from the house.
Residential and commercial properties both get the same check: we look at the rain gutter, the clogged downspouts and the spots where the gutter is not carrying water away from the building. If you can send a photo of the front of the house by text, we can usually tell you more on the first call.

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 Lauderhill FL book regular gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Florida the pattern is the same for residential and commercial buildings: spring and fall are when the gutters fill fastest. Rainfall here runs about 67.9 inches a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a clogged run costs the most.
In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, a twig or two, and the wet mat it turns into before the rainy season. Across Florida, spring visits land in mid to late April, and when we open a gutter here in that window, the clog is usually at the first elbow below the roofline, where the blockage starts to back water up under the shingles, and that is how a leak starts. On houses that skipped a fall visit, we sometimes find a run that has sagged and pulled loose from the fascia, and that is a sign the gutter was holding rainwater longer than it should have.
Under heavy tree cover, we clean the gutters every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the drains between visits. Residential properties with few or no trees need one visit a year in late fall, which across Florida runs November to December, and that is usually enough to keep your gutters draining. Guards slow the buildup, but they do not stop it, so they need a clean less often and the surface still gets cleared. Most houses land on twice a year, and debris removal is part of each gutter cleaning service visit. The estimate on the first call also tells you how often to clean your gutters on your lot, and why.
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 provides gutter services across the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we book a visit when you call or text. On each visit we flush every downspout and check the flow, and the crew clears the gutters and downspouts from the same ladder setup. Our Lauderhill gutter cleaning process starts with a photo of the house front if it is easy, plus the stories and the tree cover, and we quote from that. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Lead times vary with the season, and the two busiest windows are spring and fall, so if you want to get your gutters cleaned on a particular week, book early.
When you book, we confirm a date and an arrival window, and we send a text the day before, so every homeowner knows when the crew is coming. If the gutters are overflowing now, tell us when you call, because a gutter that is holding water and starting a leak is a different job than a routine clean. We will say so on the phone. A house with a clogged run and water pouring over the edge is a priority, and we would rather know that up front than send a crew out to the wrong job. If you have gutter guards, tell us when you book, since lifting and reseating them adds time. Each of our cleanings is built to protect your home from water damage, and the goal is simple: keep your gutters moving water before it finds the foundation.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details, because a two-story house with heavy tree cover can take much longer than one with none. Flushing and haul-off are included in the number we give you, and that is how our gutter cleaning services are priced for homeowners here. If you want to get your gutters quoted this week, call and we will give you that number.
Most of our customers across Lauderhill book in late spring and again in late fall. In spring the seed and pollen drop packs the elbows, and in fall the leaf mat is the main problem. If you wait past the fall cleaning, the gutters can hold water through the rainy season, the fascia behind them can start to rot, and the clogs get harder to clear.
Same-day depends on the schedule that week, and most of our cleaning services in Lauderhill come up within the week. Our gutter cleaning process starts with the call: we confirm a date and an arrival window. If your gutters are overflowing now, tell us on the call and we will tell you what we can do.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of the gutters and downspouts to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush the run and check that the water is leaving at the outlet. If a line runs underground, we check where it empties and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and it is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes, guards slow the buildup but they do not stop it. Guards are part of the gutter system, and on our jobs guarded gutters still collect needles and grit on the surface, and that mat can keep water from getting in. How much the landscape drops on your roof decides how often you need a clean. We clean the surface and check the flow under the guards, so gutter maintenance on a guarded system is usually a little more involved than on an open one, and the flow check keeps water moving away from your home.
If a clean gutter still spills over the edge in rain, the cause is usually slope, capacity or drain size, not a clog. Send us a photo or 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, because cleaning and maintenance cannot change the pitch of a gutter.
Not for anything we could see from the ground when you called. If the crew finds something that changes the job, such as a gutter that was packed far more than the photos showed, you hear about it and agree to it before the work continues.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
