Our own crew cleans gutters in Palm City, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers here book spring and fall, and we keep the calendar open for both windows.
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 and the drainage path that carries water away from the house. We quote homeowners over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the three things above are what we actually measure first.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds once the ladder is up. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time and more safety setup. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits higher than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years sag under compacted debris, and that takes longer to clear than a seasonal load. Guards on a gutter system we have to lift and reseat add time at both ends of the job. Downspout flushing, water flow checks and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, one of the clearest examples of what drives a quote is a home where the gutters were packed with leaves and debris from a heavy tree canopy. Flushing every downspout and clearing the clogged downspouts took longer than the outside of the house suggested, and that was the difference between the phone estimate and the final visit. Palm City homes vary, and a fast visit usually means the gutter was kept clean between cleanings. Under heavy tree cover, the gutter and downspout fill faster, which is why we ask about the trees before we give you a number. If your home gets leaves and seeds from a heavy canopy, tell us when you call, and we will price the job from what we expect to find.
Our gutter cleaning services for commercial properties follow the same logic: the number of stories, the building design and the amount of buildup decide the number, and we work out each building on its own. A flat roof with internal drains is priced differently from a pitched roof with a simple rain gutter, and that is why we ask for a photo of the front of the building before we give a number. Text a photo of the front and your stories, and we can give you a starting estimate that will not change unless the job changes.
| 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, the usual spring visit falls in mid to late April, after seed and pollen drop, and the usual fall visit falls in November to December, after the last leaves come down. Most of our customers book both windows. When we open a gutter here in late April we find seeds packed in the downspout elbows and a pollen paste sitting on the trough. In November we find a wet leaf mat that holds water before the wettest months and sends it over the edge. Customers who skip the fall visit tend to see the first clog show up in the rainy months, when the water has nowhere to go.
Under heavy tree cover, needles, seed casings and the odd twig pack the downspout faster than twice a year allows, so those customers are on every three to four months. A home with few or no trees, or a light landscape around it, is usually fine on a once-a-year schedule in late fall. Guards mean less frequent cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still needs to be cleared and the run kept clean, because a mat of grit on the guard blocks the water as well. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. June through August are the wettest months here, with nearly 60 inches of rain a year overall, and heavy rainfall is when a clogged run shows itself.
A clog that goes unnoticed becomes rainwater running down the wall, the roofline and fascia pay for it first, and a fascia that stays wet can rot before it turns into structural damage. Blockage in a downspout shows up as overflow at the corner of the house before it shows up anywhere else. Regular gutter cleaning is how we run this service, and it is part of your gutter maintenance, so you see the clog before it causes a leak and the run stays clean. Residential and commercial properties follow the same rhythm, with commercial buildings scheduled by building. Residential properties can be booked for the same windows. If you want a written estimate for the gutters, ask for it when you book, and we will send the date and the scope in the same message.
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 provides cleaning services in Palm City FL and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we keep the schedule so that the first visit comes up as early as the calendar allows. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house. If it is easy, send a photo of the house front so we can see the gutters and downspouts before the visit. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The Palm City gutter cleaning calendar fills in two busy windows each year, one in the spring and one in the fall, so the sooner you book, the sooner the crew can clean your gutters. Outside those windows slots open up faster. Our goal is to keep your gutters clear enough that a rain storm never sends water over the edge or into the wall. Clear gutters protect your home from water damage, and that is the reason we book the regular visit.
Gutter services at this level only work if the schedule is kept. If you have a clog that started between visits, call and we will look at it first. Tell us about the trees, the gutter guards and the rainwater path at the downspout, and we will tell you when we can come. Text a photo of the front of the house, call (866) 435-6328, or book online, and we will confirm the date when we call back.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. The number we give you is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and debris removal are included.
Across Florida, the usual windows are mid to late April and November to December, and that is when most visits here get booked. In spring we find seeds and pollen in the elbows; in fall we find the wet leaf mat. Customers under heavy tree cover book every three to four months, so you can clean your gutters on the schedule your trees set.
Same-day slots are not something we can promise, but we keep the calendar open across Palm City and confirm a date when you call. If you need the job sooner, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us when, and we will check the schedule so you can get your gutters cleaned as fast as the calendar allows.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process keeps the crew outside, and nothing inside the house needs attention. The crew 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 and check that the water is leaving at the outlet, carrying water away from your home. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out the leaves but not the needles, seeds or grit that settle on top, and that mat blocks the water. We lift the guards, clear the surface, reseat them and leave the run clean.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in the rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and every homeowner gets a straight answer on what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the job changes. If the crew finds something that changes the scope, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
