Our own crew cleans gutters in The Acreage, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your roof size and how much tree cover is over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our repeat customers book the spring and fall visits, and we have been on the same kinds of roofs here for a long time.
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 give is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way for residential properties and commercial properties, since the three inputs stay the same. Some companies price a rain gutter by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather you know the whole number up front.
What moves it on our jobs is consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. On the acreage homes, a walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run can sit farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and debris, and a clog like that takes longer to clear than a gutter we clean every season. A buildup that sits that long can pull a run down until it starts to sag, and it can cause structural damage to the fascia board behind it. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing and flow testing are included and never billed as extras. Clogged downspouts get flushed with water until they run clear at the bottom, and the water flow is checked before we leave. Clean runs keep drainage working, moving water away from the fascia and the foundation, and that is the whole job. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number in writing. The acreage homes we see can be priced from a photo and those same three answers, so you can get the number before anyone climbs a ladder. Once the run is clean, the photos show the difference on your phone.

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 spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in November to December, after the last leaves come down. Many of our residential and commercial customers book the spring and fall visits as a pair. In spring we open a gutter and find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have pulled loose by the next rainy season. The wettest months here are June, August and September, so the right time to clean your gutters is before then.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see work, because needles and grit pack the drain pipes between visits. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps the runs moving, with debris removal at every visit. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough, and a clean run is the goal at that point. Near a busy road or construction, we move the schedule closer together. Gutter guards cut the frequency, but they do not replace clearing the surface.
When we open a gutter in the wet season and the clog has already backed rainwater into the fascia line, that is the sign the schedule was too long. A rain gutter packed with wet leaves is the same problem, and a blockage at the elbow is usually where it starts. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate covers the roofline and the length of the run.
In The Acreage FL, the same schedule logic applies to residential properties and commercial buildings, since tree cover and rain set the timing, not the type of building. Each visit ends with photos of every run. Keep to the schedule and the gutter stays clean through the season, so the photos show the difference each visit.
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 covers homes across the acreage from the nearest base, and surrounding areas get the same pricing process. Booking in The Acreage FL starts with a price by phone or text from your stories, your square footage and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest windows are the spring and fall visits. A fallen twig or a heavy leaf drop can push a visit earlier. Slots for the acreage gutter cleaning fill first in spring and fall. We call before we come, and nobody has to be home for the work.
If you want to keep your gutters clear through the wet season, call (866) 435-6328 early and we will tell you the first open date. Many of the acreage homeowners we see ask for the spring and fall pair. If you text a photo of the roofline, we can often tell you on the same call which schedule fits. Regular cleanings protect your home from water damage, and a leak caught early is a smaller job. The same crew handles gutter services on each visit: they flush every downspout, check the gutters and downspouts, and reseat any gutter guards they lift, so each homeowner deals with one set of people from the first call to the photos.
Our cleaning services in the acreage are priced from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not put a figure on this page because the house decides it. Call (866) 435-6328 with those three things and we will confirm the price before we book.
Across Florida, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. If the fall visit waits until the first heavy rainfall, the leaf mat has already packed the runs and the drain pipes may be backing up. A visit in mid to late April clears the seed and pollen before the wet months start.
Most slots across the acreage come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If you want to get your gutters done before hurricane season, say so on the phone and we will tell you what is open.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and leaves the ground as clean as they found it. All gutter maintenance is done from outside, so nobody has to be home. Photos of every run and downspout go 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 drainage is leaving at the outlet and well away from your home. If a downspout feeds an underground line that will not clear, we tell you and quote the work separately. We do not bill that as a surprise on the invoice.
Yes. Under guards we still find grit, seed casings and needles that sit on top and mat into a wet layer. The guard keeps leaves out, but cleaning and maintenance still means clearing the surface, so we clean under and around the guards on every visit.
A gutter system that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a clogging problem. Send us a short video of the leak in the rain and we will tell you what it is. A run that stays full can rot the fascia board and cause structural damage, and a landscape bed piled against the eave can hold water there too. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is, and agree on it before we go further. Our gutter cleaning process is quote, visit, flush and photos, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
