Our own crew handles every job from start to finish. We flush every downspout, test the flow, haul the debris away and photograph every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover shades it, 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 fall, and we keep the same schedule here.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is multiplied out. What we hear and see most often on Olympia Heights homes is a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a sloped lot or walk-out basement that puts the back run far up, gutters nobody has opened in years, and guards we have to lift and reseat before the crew can clean underneath.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice. A clog or buildup that sits in a downspout is cleared as part of the visit, and leaves and debris packed in a rain gutter come out with it, because standing water in a blocked downspout is how structural damage usually starts. A drainage line that runs underground is checked at the outlet and quoted separately if it needs more work.
On local jobs the quote usually moves for the same reasons: a gutter system where one run holds sag from years of leaves, water flow that stalls at a single elbow, and houses where the leaves have packed in tight enough to need a second pass. When the flow stalls at one elbow, a blockage is usually the reason, and the gutter stops moving water away from the house, so the crew checks the whole path until it runs clear. Clogged downspouts can back up a whole run, so the number of runs and any clogged downspout set the quote more than a guess from the street. We also clean gutters for commercial properties on a per-building schedule, and the same rule applies: we quote from what we see and say the number before anyone climbs.
| 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.
Across Florida, most of our customers book two cleanings a year: the spring visit in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. In spring we find seed casings and the odd twig packed into the elbows and a pollen paste that holds water. In fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the following season. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction site, we are back every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. A roofline with few or no trees is usually fine with one visit a year in late fall. Rain here totals about 69.7 inches a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months, which is when heavy rainfall tests a gutter that is already full.
On our Olympia Heights FL jobs, a gutter that overflows at the front edge after a heavy storm nearly always has a clog at the downspout or a sag in the run, not a problem with the crew's work. Left alone, rainwater that sits in the trough works into a seam, becomes a leak, and then starts structural damage and rot at the fascia. Gutter guards cut the frequency, but we still keep the surface clean and check the flow every visit. Water that spills off the front edge should run away from your home, and if it does not, the crew says so. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the photos of the gutters on your phone so you can see what we saw.
Residential properties and commercial buildings are handled the same way, because residential and commercial gutters fail for the same reasons: the number of trees, the proximity to a road, and whether the gutters drain onto a walkway decide the interval. Clean your gutters before the rainy season and before the leaf drop, and book a regular gutter cleaning service with us so we keep the same schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will give you an estimate for the next visit, along with the debris removal included in the visit.
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 Olympia Heights gutter cleaning crew works from the nearest base, and when your street is on our route we say so when you call. Homeowners, and anyone in the surrounding areas, book the same way: you give us the number of stories, the rough square footage and whether trees hang over the house, and if it is easy, a photo of the front of the house by text. That is enough for a quote. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and the fall, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to get the slot you want.
Our gutter services include the flush, the flow check and the photos, and we flush every downspout before we leave. Lead time is listed on the booking line when we confirm the date. We keep the gutters and downspouts in view so the visit covers everything that is holding water. Every homeowner gets photos of the work, so there is a record of every run. Our aim is to protect your home from water damage between visits, and to leave the gutters clean and flowing, not just emptied for the moment. The simplest way to keep your gutters clear is a short look after heavy storms.
The number comes from how many stories the house has and its size, plus what is packed in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the details and we give you a number over the phone. That number is what you pay, and it covers a clean from the first downspout to the last.
Across Florida, our spring visit runs mid to late April and our fall visit runs November to December. Across Olympia Heights, a gutter left past the fall leaf drop usually shows sagging runs and a packed downspout by the following season.
We confirm the date when you call and tell you the lead time on the phone, so you know what to expect before you book with us.
No. The 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, so we can get your gutters cleaned in one visit.
Yes. We flush every downspout as part of our gutter cleaning process, and each one is flow-tested before the crew leaves. We check where the water goes at the outlet, and if an underground drain line needs more work, we quote that separately and do not touch it without your approval.
Yes, though less often. Guards hold back leaves, but needles, seeds, grit and mulch from the landscape beds still sit on top of the guard and make the water run over the front edge. Guards lower how much gutter maintenance you need, but cleaning and maintenance still happen on every visit, when we keep the surface clean and check the flow.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before any work starts. The quote you get 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.
