Our own crew handles gutter cleaning here. We flush every downspout, flow-test each run and haul it away. You get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep those slots open for them.
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 quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and tree cover are what move the total on our jobs.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked is the biggest single change. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the crew needs a boom or scissor lift instead of a standard ladder. Gutters nobody has opened in years arrive packed with compacted leaves and debris, and that takes longer to clear than a normal season's leaves. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, and we tell you about them before we start.
Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. The gutters and downspouts are priced as one job, so there is no separate charge for either. If something changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice. The gutter is only half the story; drainage has to carry the water away from the house, so once the gutter is clean we check the water flow at every outlet to see where the water ends up.
Most homeowners we clean have a single gutter run and a clear path to the ground, and the clog we see most often is at the downspout elbow where leaves, grit and the odd twig collect. Palm Bay homes with more than one storey or heavy tree canopy usually show a larger buildup, and that is what the price reflects. We also do commercial properties and residential properties for the same work, priced per building.
Our crew has cleaned houses where the gutter was sagging from years of leaves and standing water, and the price reflected the extra time to clear the buildup and check for structural damage. On one of those jobs the rain gutter had pulled away from the fascia, so we photographed it and reported it rather than selling a repair. You can see that job here: [linked case]. Clogged downspouts and water left standing near the foundation are the two things that cause the most damage, and we check both.
| 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 customers book twice a year, in mid to late April after the seed and pollen drop, and again in November to December after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag or have pulled loose by the time spring comes. Every visit includes debris removal, so nothing is left sitting in the bottom of the run.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps the gutter clear, because needles and grit pack the downspouts and set a clog between visits. Heavy rainfall in the wettest months of the year fills a gutter faster than one visit can keep up with. A lot with few or no trees is usually fine with one visit a year in late fall. Gutters with guards need less frequent cleaning, but gutter maintenance still means clearing the surface, since pollen and fine grit sit on the guard and turn to a mat.
Our crew has cleaned gutters on a clear lot here that only needed a fall visit, and on a shaded lot across the street that needed cleaning every three months. The clear lot had a clean roofline with almost no blockage; the shaded lot had a downspout packed solid by the wettest months of the year. Both jobs are on file, and we can send you the photos of each clean run.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. The point of the schedule is to keep your gutters clear, and we set it on that visit. Book your estimate by calling (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the house and we will walk the schedule with you before the first truck rolls 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.
Palm Bay gutter cleaning runs from the nearest base, and the crew books each gutter cleaning service by phone or text. To give you a quote, we ask how many stories the house has, roughly how big it is and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time changes with the season, and we tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, and our calendar fills during those months, so booking early keeps the date you want for our gutter services. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you want a date before storm season across Florida, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house and we will book it.
Any homeowner who has had water damage from a clogged gutter system knows how fast a small leak can turn into a soft fascia board. Regular gutter cleaning costs less than fixing rot, and our cleanings catch a clog before it can spill over. We also clean residential and commercial properties on the same schedule, priced per building, for properties in surrounding areas.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Tell us how many stories the house has and roughly how big it is, and we quote the job before we book the crew. The quote is the number you pay.
Across Florida, our customers usually book in mid to late April and again in November to December. Plan to clean your gutters before the wet leaf mat has a full season to sit, because a mat left through winter can hold rainwater in the gutter and cause sagging by spring. Under heavy tree cover the schedule runs tighter, and we set it for your lot after the first visit.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning services in Palm Bay run on one shared calendar, so we do not promise same-day service across Palm Bay, but we do fit in urgent calls when a crew is already nearby.
No, you do not need to be home. The gutter cleaning process stays outside: our crew does not come inside and sends photos of every clean run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, clear landscape beds under the downspouts, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed until it runs clean at the bottom, then flow-tested, and we check where the water drains. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it. We will tell you if the water is not leaving at the outlet.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, though less often. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and once they turn to a wet mat, the rain runs over the front edge instead of going in.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not debris. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we 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, you hear about it and agree before they start. The invoice matches the quote unless you approve a change first. Cleaning and maintenance visits are priced the same way, from the quote you agreed to.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
