Our own crew cleans gutters in Miami Lakes, every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of each 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.
We do this work across Florida, and most of our customers book for spring and fall. Use the estimator above or text a photo of the front of the house and we will come back with a quote.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give you the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and that number is what we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, but for most homeowners here the stories and the clog in the runs are what actually drive the figure.
Here is what moves the quote when our crew is on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk adds time and equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted debris and a clog that takes longer to clear and flush. Guards we have to lift and reseat add labor. A clean run with no guards is the easy version of this job. Flushing, water flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Miami Lakes homes, the biggest jobs usually come from houses with heavy tree cover and gutters that have gone a long time without a visit. Those runs hold a lot of wet leaves and grit, and clearing them properly to get a clean flow is most of the work. Most of our work here is on residential properties, and the price follows the stories, size and tree cover. Ask for a Miami Lakes gutter cleaning quote, and we will tell you which of those apply to your house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate, and we will confirm the date when you book.

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 Miami Lakes FL book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down across Florida in late fall. On our jobs the spring visit usually finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows of the gutters and downspouts. A blockage in one elbow can back the whole run up, and a single twig caught there is enough to start it. The fall visit finds a wet mat of leaves and debris that builds up before the rainy season, and if a house skipped that visit we often find runs that have pulled loose or sagged by the next spring.
June, July and September are the wettest months of the year, and heavy rainfall in those months tests every gutter that is already full. Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits. With few or no trees around the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutters with guards still need the surface kept clean, and we check that water is actually getting in, so those houses tend to run on the less frequent schedule. A rain gutter that sits full through the wet months is the one that sags, and a small leak at a seam can end in structural damage at the eave. A clean gutter system carries rainwater off the roofline, and that keeps the schedule short. Treat gutter maintenance as a fixed visit, not an emergency. The point is to move water away from your home before the rain arrives. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Regular gutter cleaning helps protect your home from water damage, so keep your gutters working through the rainy season by booking a visit that fits your trees.
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 the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and the neighborhoods we clean are the ones we have supplied to our booking team. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text. We ask about stories, the size of the house and how many trees are over the roof, and a photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the job quickly. Our gutter cleaning services run across Miami Lakes, and the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so book early if you want a particular week.
Once you book, we call before we come, and no homeowner needs to be home for exterior work. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date with you when you call. Repeat cleanings are booked the same way. Cleaning and maintenance on the same visit keeps the schedule simple. Residential and commercial buildings are different jobs, and this page covers houses only, so mention any commercial properties when you call. If you have a question about the process or want to get your gutters on a clean schedule, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through our gutter services.
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 seeing the house, because the buildup and the access both change the time on the ladder. Our cleaning services in Miami Lakes are priced this way on every house, and the number we give you is the number you pay.
Across Florida, the usual spring window is mid to late April and the fall window is November to December. Our customers here usually book in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. When gutters wait past the fall visit, we find a wet mat of leaves packed into the runs, and sometimes runs that have started to sag or fascia boards that have started to rot.
Same-day availability depends on the week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so you know exactly when the crew will arrive.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, 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 and check its drainage, and we report where water exits. Clearing a buried underground line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it. We do not add that cost to the cleaning without telling you first.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but on our jobs we still find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and packed underneath. The job is shorter with guards on a gutter system, but the surface still has to be cleared and the water checked. If you plan to clean your gutters yourself, plan on the same surface work.
If a clean rain gutter still overflows during heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope or pipe size, not clogged downspouts. 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. Water that overflows lands in the landscape beds and can wash soil away from the foundation.
It should not. The quote is built from stories, size and tree cover, and the job runs from that number. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we raise it and you agree to it before work starts, so the number on the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
