Our own crew handles every gutter job we take in North Fort Myers: every run flushed and flow-tested, the mess bagged and hauled off, the gutters left clean, and photos of each run on your phone before we leave. The price comes from stories, square footage and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, once the seed drop and the leaf drop are done and the gutters are full of what they left behind.
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. A homeowner gets an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and the layout of the house are what drive the total on a real home.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift, so the quote goes up. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with leaves and debris, and a run that has started to sag takes longer to empty than one that was clean last spring. Guards that we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Many North Fort Myers homes have clogged downspouts in the same place every year: an elbow that fills with leaves and grit and backs water up behind the rain gutter. When the buildup is that heavy, drainage stops at the bottom and the water finds its way back up the wall. Left alone, that backup can cause structural damage to the fascia and soffit. We clear the clog, flush the run and watch the water flow until it runs clean at the outlet. The same job on a house with fewer trees is quicker. On one job, the quote moved because the rear run sat two stories up over a sloped yard and the outlet was full of wet leaves; the crew flushed the run and kept the water away from your home. The case is linked in the coverage section. We do not put a price inside a case, and we do not name a client here. Quotes for commercial properties go the same way, by phone or text, before anyone climbs a ladder.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
For context, nationally: Angi 2026, US average $168, most $119 to $234, $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot.
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 residential properties we clean get booked twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in late spring, we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. When we open one after the leaf drop, it is a wet mat of leaves and grit that sits in the trough along the roofline and holds rainwater against the fascia. The spring and fall visits catch what each season leaves behind, and that is when to clean your gutters.
Homes under heavy tree cover get cleaned every three to four months, because the needles, twig fragments and grit pack the elbows faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. On that schedule, regular gutter cleaning catches the clog before it reaches the fascia. A gutter cleaning service that only scoops the trough misses the elbows, which is where the clog actually forms. Both residential and commercial buildings with few or no trees near the roof do well with one visit a year in late fall. A blockage in the gutter system shows itself during heavy rainfall, and June through August is when that happens most here. A blocked run can also leak at the joints behind the trough. A clean run going into the wet months holds up better. Homes with gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still gets cleared, because leaves and grit sit on top of the guard and the water never gets in. Houses near a busy road or a construction site fall in the shorter schedule, and keeping a clean run there is easier than fixing a clog, since dust settles into the gutter faster. Every visit includes debris removal.
Here is how the schedule plays out on two of our North Fort Myers FL jobs. One customer has no trees overhanging the house and is on a once-a-year schedule in late fall; the gutters came down clean and the water ran out the bottom without a hitch. Another customer has trees overhead and is on a visit every three to four months; the crew cleared the back elbow at each visit, and the clog that used to form there never came back. Both cases are linked in the coverage section. The gutter cleaning process stays the same on every visit: check, flush, photograph. Ask for an estimate when you book, and after the first visit we tell you which 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.
Our crew handles North Fort Myers gutter cleaning, and we work the neighborhoods where we have cleaned on our own jobs. Our gutter services are built for residential and commercial properties alike, and most of our work is on residential properties.
A homeowner starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Tell us the stories, the rough size and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. The quote comes back the same call. The lead time depends on the week, so ask when you call and we will tell you the first open slot to get your gutters cleaned.
Across Florida, the spring window runs from mid to late April, and the fall window runs from November to December, when the leaves are down. Book early in those windows and you get the day you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Clearing the gutters keeps water moving off the house and away from the foundation, and a clean run is how you protect your home from water damage and stop a leak at the joints before the next storm rolls in.
The crew works on gutters and downspouts only, and every one of our cleanings is a single visit that ends when every run is clean and the photos are on your phone. We flush every downspout on every visit, and a twig lodged in an elbow gets pulled out before the crew leaves. If the house has gutter guards, say so when you book. If you want to keep your gutters clear between visits, ask us about gutter maintenance and we will tell you what to watch for. Our customers in the surrounding areas book the same way.
Across North Fort Myers, a two-story house is quoted from its stories and square footage, the same way as any other house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us for the figure, and it is the number we charge on the invoice. Flushing and haul-off are included in the quote.
Across Florida, the usual booking windows are mid to late April and November to December, once the seed drop and the leaf drop are done. Waiting past the leaf drop means a heavier wet mat, more packed elbows, and a fascia board that can start to rot once heavy rainfall arrives. Homes with heavy tree cover do better on a shorter schedule.
We tell you the first open slot when you call, so you know the earliest date you can get your gutters cleaned. We confirm the date with you before the crew comes out.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and the gutters are left clean. The gutter cleaning process is the same either way: check, flush, photograph. We send photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush each run and check that the water is leaving the outlet clean and running away from your home. If a line drains underground and water is not coming out, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and drainage problems below grade are quoted before anyone digs in the landscape.
Yes. A guarded gutter system still needs cleaning and maintenance, just less often. Guards keep the leaves out but not the needles, the seed casings or the grit, which sit on top and turn into a mat. We clear the surface, flush the run and reseat the guards during the regular gutter maintenance visit.
If a clean gutter still sends water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually the slope or the pipe size, not the buildup. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts. The quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
