Our own crew cleans gutters in Miami Shores, every outlet 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 on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been doing this work across Florida long enough to know which runs fill first.
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 is the same one we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a long gutter packed with compacted leaves costs more to clean than a short one that is only lightly loaded, and the per-foot method does not show that. Gutter maintenance on a fixed interval is the simplest way to keep the price steady.
On our jobs the quote moves for four reasons. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means boom or scissor lift work. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline at the back of the house. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out heavier than they look and take longer to clean. And gutter guards we have to lift and reseat take time. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras, and everything we clear goes away from your home in the truck. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Homeowners see the same story repeated house after house, because our gutter cleaning process runs the same way on every job. Heavy tree canopy means more seed, leaf and twig load, and more of the gutter has to be cleared by hand, which is why the quote follows the trees as much as the stories. Ask us to clean the whole run, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. A run that has sat full through heavy rainfall is heavier and slower to clear. Between cleanings, routine cleaning and maintenance keeps each job short. Each job gets priced from what we see when we get up the ladder, and that is the number you hear before we get your gutters cleaned.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number before we schedule anything. We are one of the cleaning services in Miami Shores that gives the number first and schedules second. Ask for a written estimate if you want one before you book your clean.

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.
Our customers across Miami Shores mostly book twice a year, in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Florida the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, and the fall visit in November to December. In spring we open the elbows and find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed in tight, which is how clogged downspouts start. In fall it is the wet mat of leaves and debris, and in our part of the state the rainy season is the real test of whether the runs can carry the water away.
Under heavy tree cover we see the gutter system fill faster, and those customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits and hold back the rainwater. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Near a busy road, a construction site or a landscape with mulch beds at the eave, the load is grit rather than leaves, and the quarterly interval makes sense for the same reason. A grit buildup at the elbow can form a clog before the first storm. Guards, where they exist, lower how often the gutters need work, but the surface still needs cleaning.
When we open a gutter here in late April we find the seed casings first and the leaf mat under them. We flush the run once it is open and watch the water come out the bottom. When we open one in November the mat is wetter and heavier, and any run that has been sitting full all summer shows rot and a leak at the joints, which is where structural damage starts. A rain gutter full of wet mat is the one that spills first in a storm. After the first visit we tell you which cleaning tier your lot actually needs.
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.
We clean gutters across Miami Shores homes from the nearest base, and we do not hold a same-day promise we cannot keep. Our crew serves homeowners the same way, with a quote first. Booking starts with a phone call or a text, and we work from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. Typical lead time is shown when you call, and the calendar fills in two busy windows, the spring and fall runs, so booking early in those months helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
We run residential and commercial work from the same crew, so the calendar is shared between residential properties and commercial properties, homes and buildings alike. For a homeowner, the practical point is that a fall date booked in September holds better than one requested in November, when the leaf load is heaviest and every crew is busy. Our gutter cleaning services handle routine clearing, and debris removal is part of the same visit, not a second trip. Regular gutter cleaning on the schedule that fits your lot keeps each visit short.
Keep your gutters clear between visits if you can, and call before a storm, not after, if you want us to clean your gutters sooner. A quick look after a heavy storm, and a call if water is coming over the edge, tells us what needs attention before the next scheduled date. Good drainage and steady water flow at the eave is the goal, and a clog at the elbow is the first thing the crew checks. Call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the gutters, or book a date and we will confirm it.
Our gutter services are priced from stories and size, and we give the number by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and roughly how many square feet the house is, and we will quote you the same figure we charge.
Our customers in Miami Shores FL book in late spring and again in late fall. Waiting past the fall visit lets the wet leaf mat sit through the rainy season, and on houses that skipped it we see a clog at the elbow and runs that sag or pull loose. Across Florida the visits usually fall in mid to late April and November to December.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We cover Miami Shores and surrounding areas, and we do not promise same-day unless the calendar has an open slot that day.
No. 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 with water and watch it until it runs clear at the bottom, which is how we protect your home from water damage. Where a run empties into an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. Under guards we find needles threaded through, seed casings on top, and grit underneath, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. We lift the panels along the roofline, clean underneath and reseat them.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets rainwater over the edge in a storm has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job on your gutters and downspouts, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after. The number we give on the phone is a written estimate, and it is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
