Our own crew cleans gutters in Sebastian, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled off, and photos of every run on your phone before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book their spring and fall visits with us, and that schedule keeps water moving away from your home.
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 give the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. A clean estimate is one with no surprises on the invoice. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though that method leaves the height and the clog out of the math. We have seen the same house priced two ways, and the per-foot version usually misses the back run where the clog is.
On our jobs, a third story or a pitch too steep to walk changes the crew's setup and the time on the ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years arrive packed with old buildup that takes longer to clear and sometimes leaves a drainage path that has to be reopened by hand, and a long run can sag under it. A guarded gutter system adds a step, since we lift and reseat each guard. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of leaves and debris are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our Sebastian homes. One house on a corner lot had a two-story back run that held a full season of leaf and seed buildup, and the crew found the first downspout blocked at the elbow. Once it was flushed and the water flow was clean, the house was shedding water away from the foundation at the bottom of the drop. The price came down to the same number we gave on the phone because nothing new turned up at the top of the house. That is the pattern we aim for: a clear picture before we climb.
When the job is a commercial building, the same questions apply, and the answer usually depends on how many levels there are and whether the building has internal drains. For commercial properties, we price per building and confirm the scope before the lift arrives. On a larger site, gutter cleaning services cost more because the lift time is longer, not because of any surprise line item. We run residential and commercial jobs the same way: residential properties get a number by phone, and commercial properties get a number per building. Whether we are clearing a rain gutter on a small home or a multi-level site, the goal is the same: a clean run, no standing water, no clogged downspouts, and no structural damage from water sitting where it should not.

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: once in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and once in November or December, after the last leaves come down. On our jobs in Sebastian FL, the spring visit clears the seed casings and pollen paste that bind into a clog in the elbows, and the fall visit clears the leaf mat that sits in the trough through the rainy months. The wettest stretch of the year runs July through September, so the gutters need to be clean and clear before the heavy rainfall starts. Those spring and fall visits cover both halves of the year, and the same schedule works for residential and commercial buildings.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring, the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the drains and slow the water flow to a trickle. In fall, leaves are the main problem, and a wet mat in the trough can hold water that backs up under the first course of shingles. When the leaf mat stays wet and the rainwater has nowhere to go, the roofline starts to sag and the buildup along the fascia runs the risk of rot. When we open a gutter in late April we find the seeds, and when we open one in November we find the leaves; both need to be clean before the next rain.
Most houses do well on twice a year. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, or on a landscape that drains toward the house, the gutters fill faster because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, so those homes need a tighter schedule. Residential properties with few or no trees do fine with one visit a year in November or December. Gutters with guards still need the surface kept clean on the same schedule, though the job tends to go faster. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and you can adjust from there. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the blockage from building up, and each gutter cleaning service includes debris removal from the trough and the elbows. Clean your gutters on the schedule that fits the trees on your lot, and call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
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.
Sebastian gutter cleaning is most of our work, and our crew has cleaned gutters in several neighborhoods. We serve the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking starts with a price by phone or text, using your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house. A homeowner who texts a photo of the front of the house makes that price come faster, and we can usually tell from it whether the back run will need extra time. A single twig wedged in a downspout elbow can stop the whole run, so we check every elbow. Lead times depend on the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Across Florida, our calendar fills in the two busy windows, mid to late April and November to December, so booking early keeps your slot open.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. A short call the day before gives you the arrival window, and the crew checks in when they are on the way. Owners often ask whether a clean gutter will stop a leak in the attic or a stain on the soffit. It will clear the blockage that causes most of those, though a leak can also come from a joint or a downspout that needs reseating. On every visit we flush every downspout, check the gutters and downspouts for loose runs, and confirm the gutters carry water away from the house. The goal is to keep your gutters draining, and that is the whole point of gutter maintenance. We tell you what we find in the report, and you decide what to do next.
Homeowners who book us regularly tend to keep their gutters clean and working through the seasons. A regular schedule keeps the cleanings on time, and that helps protect your home from water damage. Gutter services are most useful when they fit the rhythm of the trees and the rain on your lot. Book a visit now to get your gutters cleaned before the next heavy rain. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline, and we will tell you what schedule will protect your home.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with your stories and your home's size, and we give you the number by phone or text before we book. We do not post a range on the website because the same two-story house can land in very different places depending on what is in the gutters. The number we give is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book cleaning and maintenance visits in mid to late April and again in November or December, after the seed drop and after the last leaves come down. If you wait past the fall visit, the landscape has usually dropped its last leaves, and we often find a wet leaf mat and sagging runs by the time the rains settle in. Each visit leaves the gutters carrying water away from your home. Across Florida the same two windows work for most homes.
Same-day slots depend on the week, and most open dates come up within the week. Our cleaning services in Sebastian run on the same route plan, so when you call we confirm the earliest date that works for your lot and the crew's route. Call now and get your gutters on the schedule.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout, clean and clear, to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested until the water runs clean at the bottom, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a downspout drains into an underground line, we check the outlet, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes, gutter guards still need the surface cleared, though the job is usually shorter than on an open gutter system. On our jobs across Sebastian we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and under the panels, so we lift, clean and reseat each one.
If a gutter that is clean still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than debris. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. Left alone, that water can rot the fascia board behind the gutter. 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 to it before they start, never after. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that goes for every gutter maintenance visit.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
