Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Lighthouse Point, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Clean gutters protect your home from water damage, and the sooner a slow run is cleared, the less rot you pay to fix later. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book their cleaning in spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the leaves are down.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Every gutter cleaning service we book is priced that way. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but the per-foot math hides the parts of the job that take real time on a ladder.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the setup and the time on the ladder, and so does a walk-out basement or a sloped lot that raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, a clog that takes longer to clear, and the trough is not clean until the last of it is out. Clogged downspouts are the usual cause of slow drainage, and the flush shows how far down the blockage runs. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we see most often in Lighthouse Point. When we open a run that has not been touched in a while, the sag is usually from the weight of wet leaves and debris, and the buildup has often reached the downspout. Water flow stops at the elbow, and the water runs over the front edge instead of away from the house. Structural damage can follow if that goes on through a few rainy seasons. Lighthouse Point homeowners see heavy rainfall in the summer months, so a rain gutter running slow in June is one that will be overflowing by August. A gutter system that runs clear is what keeps the foundation dry, and when the gutter is clean, the water away from the foundation comes back the same day.
For experience, we will say what moved the quote on one recent Lighthouse Point job when we have it on file, and we will not make up the rest. The point is simple: tell us stories, size and tree cover, and send a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy. Walk through the gutter cleaning process with us on the phone, and we will give you the number.

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 Lighthouse Point customers book twice a year: in spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall, after the last leaves are down. Across Florida the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, and the timing shifts a little with the weather each year. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps leaves and needles from setting in, so it is simpler to clean your gutters once than to chase a clog all summer.
In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds, seed casings and pollen paste. In fall it is the leaf load, a wet mat that sits in the trough and holds rainwater against the fascia until the next storm pushes it over the edge. When we open a gutter at the spring visit we find the seed mat, and at the fall visit it is the leaves. Houses that skip the fall visit tend to show a clog building in the spring run, and a clean trough at the fall visit prevents most of that. One twig lodged in the elbow is enough blockage to start a leak at the seam, and it shows up as a ceiling stain before anyone thinks to look at the gutter.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see work, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so plan on three or four cleanings a year. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Guards mean less often, but the surface still needs a clean. Near a busy road or a construction site, or where a landscape drops grit onto the roof, the schedule tightens for the same reason: grit.
After the first visit we tell you which gutter maintenance tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate for each visit comes with that answer.
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 Lighthouse Point FL, cleaning the same streets we drive through every week, and covers the city and surrounding areas from the nearest base. Lighthouse Point gutter cleaning service is booked by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. The quote comes back the same conversation, and we confirm the date when we call. Lighthouse Point homes get a clean quote and an invoice that matches it.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fastest, so a gutter cleaning booked early in those months gets the earlier slot. Get your gutters on the schedule before the rains set in, and the crew leaves a clean job behind. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home. If your gutters are already overflowing or you have gutter guards, tell us on the first call so the crew can plan the visit around the rain.
Our gutter cleaning services cover residential and commercial properties, and our gutter services include downspout flushing and debris removal. Residential properties and commercial properties get the same plan: clear the runs, flush every downspout, and send photos of the work to your phone before we leave. Whether you are a homeowner who wants the water kept away from your home and the foundation, or a building manager who needs a schedule, regular cleaning and maintenance keeps the fascia dry. Keep your gutters clean between visits by walking the house after each storm, and call if anything looks off.
The number comes from stories, size and tree cover, and we give it to you by phone or text before the crew books the date. Ask for the written estimate and it matches the invoice, which holds for every one of our cleaning services in Lighthouse Point.
Late spring and late fall are when most Lighthouse Point homes book with us, after the seed drop and after the last leaves. If you wait past those, the clog is usually further down the run and takes more time to clear, so it pays to clean your gutters before the window closes.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Tell us if the gutters are already overflowing and we will move you up where we can.
No, you do not need to be home. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Debris goes away from your home with the truck, not onto the lawn. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the crew leaves the yard as clean as it found it.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check where it drains, including underground drain lines, as part of the gutter maintenance on every visit. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, they still need clearing, usually less often. Under guards we find needles threaded through the mesh, seed casings, grit, and the leaves and debris that settle on top of the guard, along with water that never gets in. A guarded gutter still gets a clean run and a flushed downspout.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. If the gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge, it is a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem, and we tell you what it is instead of selling a second cleaning.
No. The price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 and you get that number before anyone books a date. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
