Our own crew gives South Venice homeowners a clean gutter run, every run flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage 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 in the spring and fall, and that is when we see the seed and leaf loads that cause overflow.
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. 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 price by the linear foot and land in a similar place per run, but the total still depends on how the house is built.
What moves the quote on our jobs: a third story or a steep pitch that is unsafe to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the roofline, a setup common on South Venice homes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with compacted debris, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Florida, the buildup we find most often is a wet leaf and seed mat that has set into the rain gutter and starts to clog the outlets. A single clog or twig in one elbow of the gutter system can slow drainage and water flow, push water behind the fascia-line of the house, cause a leak, let the run sag, and lead to structural damage over a few seasons. Our crew flushes every outlet until the water comes out clean at the bottom, because clogged downspouts can hide behind a gutter that looks empty, and a blockage like that sends water over the edge when it should be carrying water away from the wall.
If you want to see how that plays out on a real lot, we have cases from the South Venice area with their links on this site. Each one shows the stories, the tree cover and what our crew found, with the quote we gave on the phone. As a homeowner, text us a photo of the front of your house and we can tell you more quickly which parts of the job are likely to matter.
| 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 twice a year, in late spring after seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves. Across Florida, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and when we open a gutter then we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. Across Florida, the fall visit lands in November to December, and by then it is the wet leaf mat. Either load can cause a clog that backs water up under the eave, and it shows first when heavy rainfall hits in July, August and September, the wettest months here.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months keeps needles and grit from packing the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, the cleanings can drop to once a year, in late fall, which is usually enough to keep rainwater moving through a clean run. Where gutter guards are installed, the schedule is less frequent, but cleaning and maintenance still means clearing the surface.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and how often you should clean your gutters from there. A blockage that is caught early is a short clean; one left through a full rainy season becomes a larger job with more buildup and more time on the ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters and we will set the first gutter cleaning service 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.
We do South Venice gutter cleaning from our local crew, and the same crew works the surrounding areas on the same route. The gutter cleaning process starts with booking: give us your stories, your approximate size and whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We quote over the phone or by text, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We quote residential properties by phone or text; for commercial properties or a residential and commercial mix, call first so we can tell you whether the job fits.
Our calendar in South Venice FL fills in two busy windows each year, the spring seed season and the fall leaf drop, so if a certain week matters to you, book early. To lock a date, call (866) 435-6328 and ask for the day you need.
We are the crew that answers the phone and sends the photos, and we offer gutter services across South Venice. Our goal is to keep your gutters clean and working through gutter maintenance, and to protect your home from water damage before the next storm, not to sell extra work. If something else on the gutters and downspouts needs attention, it is photographed and reported, and what you do about it is up to you.
The number comes from stories, size and tree cover, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. Two-story houses vary in pitch and in how much tree cover they carry, so no two quotes come out the same.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the fall leaf drop, the mat gets heavier and the clogs get harder to clear. Text a photo of the house and we will tell you which tier fits, so you can get your gutters on the schedule.
We are one of the cleaning services in South Venice that confirms the date when you call, and the same crew runs across South Venice on a single route. Most slots come up within the week, and if you need a faster slot, mention it when you book and we will check the calendar for an opening.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Anything we pull out of the gutters is carried away from your home first. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the outlet to confirm water is leaving the house. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings wedged against the guard panels, with a grit layer underneath, so the surface still needs clearing even when the trough stays clean. Houses with heavy landscape planting drop more into the trough, so they need it sooner.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or outlet size rather than a clog. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Left alone, that water can rot the fascia behind the run. 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 work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
