Our own crew cleans gutters in North Lauderdale, and we flush every downspout and flow-test it before we leave. Debris goes into bags and off the property, and the photos show every run clean before the truck pulls out. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book for the spring and fall visits, when the seed drop and the leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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 give is the number we charge. The same three inputs price every one of the North Lauderdale homes we visit. Companies that offer gutter cleaning services by the foot land in a similar place per linear foot, but we price the whole house so you know the total before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the number on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and clogged downspouts take more time to clear by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a few minutes per run. Each run is clean and dry before the crew moves on. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Commercial properties with long runs of rain gutter take longer, and residential properties are priced from stories and footage alone. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On one job, a customer with a two-story house and heavy shade had a gutter system that had not been opened in several seasons. The crew found leaves and debris packed into the elbows and a section that had started to sag from the weight. The clearing took longer than a standard visit, and we told the owner that before we went up, so there was no surprise on the invoice.
Gutters that have been left alone hold more than leaves. Once the buildup sets, water flow slows and drainage backs up, so the rain gutter holds water instead of carrying water away from your home. Left long enough, that standing water can rot the fascia board, and we would rather keep it clean on schedule than let the blockage turn into structural damage.
| 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 of our customers book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in 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, but the exact timing depends on your lot. For north lauderdale fl homes, regular gutter cleaning twice a year is the starting point, not the ceiling. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same spring and fall schedule.
In spring the gutter elbows are packed with seeds, seed casings and pollen paste. In fall it is the leaf load, and the wet mat that forms over the leaves before the rainy season. Those are the two places a clog builds up fastest. June, August and September are the wettest months here, at about 56.5 inches of rain a year, so a blockage meets heavy rainfall in those months. Rainwater that cannot drain sits in the trough until it spills over the front edge. A clean trough through the rainy season is the goal.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the usual schedule, because needles and grit pack the run between visits. Near a busy road or active construction the same tier applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Gutter guards reduce the frequency, but you still need to keep your gutters clean on top.
Ask for an estimate and we will tell you which tier your lot needs and how often to clean your gutters between visits. We do not guess from the street; we look at the roofline, the downspouts and the debris we pull out.
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 cleans gutters across North Lauderdale and the surrounding areas, and works from the nearest base so the drive does not eat into the visit. Booking a North Lauderdale gutter cleaning starts with a call at (866) 435-6328 or a text, using stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Most customers hear back the same day with a window, and the lead time depends on the week. Homeowners get the same price whether the visit is a spring one or a fall one.
The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the leaf load arrive together. Book early for those dates if you want a specific morning, because our gutter cleaning service fills first then. Debris removal is part of every visit, not an add-on. We clear gutters and downspouts on each run, and we call before we come. A twig or a wad of seed casings in a downspout gets pulled out on the spot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you are a homeowner dealing with water damage, a clean run is the fastest way to protect your home from water damage getting worse while you decide on anything else. A leak at a seam often starts where water spills over the same spot every storm, and a crew can see that in one visit. Regular cleanings keep that kind of leak from turning into a repair.
If your gutters are overdue, text a photo and tell us the last time they were cleaned, and we will tell you when a crew can get to the house. If you have gutter guards, mention them too, because the visit is different with guards on. Text today to get your gutters on the schedule, and our gutter services will keep your cleanings on a steady spring and fall rhythm.
The number comes from stories and size, so we give an estimate by phone or text from those two things. Our cleaning services in North Lauderdale are priced that way on every house, and we do not give a range on the page because the house decides it. Once we have the stories and square footage, the number we quote is the number we charge.
Our customers here usually book for late spring and late fall, because those are when the seed drop and the leaves are heaviest. Regular gutter cleaning in the spring and fall keeps the trough open through the rainy season. If you wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat can sit over the trough, become a clog, and start to rot the fascia while the heavy rains arrive. In freeze-belt cities that is ice; here it is the wet leaf mat that starts the trouble.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a specific date when you call. Same-day depends on the crew schedule that week, so ask when you book.
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, and the gutters are clean when you get home.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested as part of our gutter cleaning process. Checking underground drain lines is a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it. We will tell you if water is not leaving at the outlet.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep the leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on the surface and turn into a paste that blocks the water. Under a dense landscape of trees and shrubs, that load comes through even a good guard. We clear the surface, flush each downspout and reseat the guards, and we leave the surface clean. Guards shorten gutter maintenance, but they do not end the cleaning and maintenance.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout size problem, not a leaf problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and if it only overflows during heavy rainfall, send the video from that storm. We will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before they start. The quote is the invoice unless the conditions on the roof differ from what you told us. A clean, easy-to-reach roof is billed as described.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
