Our own crew cleans gutters in Palm Springs, FL, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Homeowners here get the same crew and the same written number, whether the house is a single-story ranch or has a steep pitch that is hard to walk. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the last leaves come down. Nobody leaves the job until the gutters are clean, and the photos show it.
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 size 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 price cleaning services in Palm Springs by the linear foot instead, and that approach lands in a similar place once the full run is counted.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep pitch takes more time on the ladder and the lift. 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 that is the job where the crew has to clean the most by hand. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. The gutter cleaning process runs top to bottom: the crew clears the valleys first, then each run, then the drain outlets, and checks every joint for a leak before moving on, so water is headed away from your home by the time the truck leaves. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
A homeowner who has us out on a regular schedule usually finds the work stays quick, because cleaning and maintenance on a set schedule keeps the gutter system from reaching heavy buildup. Regular cleanings keep the trough clear, so the next visit is quicker. If you have been waiting a few seasons, expect the first visit to take longer, and say so when you call. We text a photo of the front of the house if you send one, which helps us tell you the likely number before we arrive. Ask for a written estimate and we will put it in writing before the crew is booked, so you have the same figures on paper that we quoted on the phone. Gutter maintenance done on schedule is the easiest part of the house to plan for. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters priced for your house.

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 twice a year, in mid to late April after seed and pollen drop, and again in November to December after the last leaves come down. Our goal is a clean trough going into the wettest months. On our jobs we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows in spring, and in fall the leaves and debris sit in the trough as a wet mat until the next rains come. Local rainfall averages 63.7 inches a year, and heavy rainfall in June, August and September pushes whatever is in the trough over the edge. Missing a visit lets the buildup compact, and that is when the gutter system starts to lose its drainage.
Here is how the tiers look from the ladder. Twice a year covers most houses. Under heavy tree cover, we see needles, the odd twig, and grit packing the drain outlets between visits, so those lots need a visit every few months. Few or no trees means one clean a year in late fall is enough. Gutters with guards are cleaned less often, but the surface still needs clearing, since the leaf litter that rests on top of a guard turns to paste and blocks the water flow. A blockage at the outlet shows up first as water over the edge, and by then the fascia board behind it may already be soft. Clogged downspouts are the first thing to check after a storm. Landscape matters here: a yard with heavy plantings and overhanging branches drops more into the trough than a bare lot does, and a run that has started to sag under that weight is already holding too much. Left alone, that sag can turn into structural damage at the fascia, and the fascia can rot.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Our gutter services use the same tiers, and the first visit is also how we learn what your particular house catches. Those tiers hold even where the trees vary. For commercial properties, the schedule is set by square footage and the number of runs. Keep the rain gutter clean and the water away from the foundation, and the rest of the schedule follows from there.
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.
We cover Palm Springs and the surrounding areas from our nearest base. To book a gutter cleaning service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with a rough count of stories and whether trees hang over the house. We will give you a quote from those details and set a date. Most of our bookings here fill up in the spring and fall, so calling early in those windows helps.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not enter the house. When we are booked, you get a time window the day before and a call on the way. The calendar is a practical matter, not a promise, so we tell you the real lead time when you call rather than guessing. If you want to clean your gutters on a fixed rhythm, ask about regular gutter cleaning, and we will note the dates on the same booking.
Palm Springs homes differ in how much gunk they collect, and the schedule is set by what your gutter system actually needs. Look for a run that has started to sag, a gutter that still holds rainwater after the storm passes, or a clog at the outlet. Those are the signs we check first. If you are unsure whether your house needs a clean now or in a few weeks, call and describe what you see at the roofline, and we will tell you straight. Residential and commercial work is booked the same way, through the same number, and residential properties get the same written quote.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure before we know those two things. The quote we give is the number on your invoice.
Across Florida, most customers book in mid to late April after the seed drop, and again in November to December after the leaves are down. If the spring visit is skipped, the drain outlets get packed with seeds and pollen paste that is hard to clear without more time on the ladder, and a clog can form before fall.
We confirm a date when you call, and we do not promise same-day service unless we have an opening that day.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Ladder stand-offs keep the ladder off the gutter lip, which helps protect your home from scuffs. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone starts, so you know the cost ahead of time. The drain check is part of our gutter services, and it helps keep your gutters moving water between visits.
Yes, though less often. On our jobs we find leaf litter resting on top of the guard that turns to paste and blocks the water flow. We clean the surface and check that water is still getting in, which is how a guarded system helps protect your home from water damage.
If the gutters are clean and still spill rainwater over the edge during a storm, the problem is usually slope, capacity or drain size, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. A written estimate for your house holds unless the crew finds something that changes the job, and then you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after. Call (866) 435-6328 with any questions before the visit.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
