Our own crew cleans gutters in West Palm Beach, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Plenty of homeowners only think about their gutters once rainwater starts running over the edge, and a clean system before the wet season keeps that from happening. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been running that schedule across Florida long enough to know where the leaves and seed drop collect first. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your quote.
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 an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we price the whole house so you can see the total before anyone climbs. Our cleaning services in West Palm Beach start from those same three questions, and a homeowner approves one number before the crew goes up.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually plain. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with seed and leaf paste that takes time to clear by hand. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, with the leaves hauled off, is included in the price. Regular gutter maintenance is usually cheaper than replacing a fascia board that has started to rot, and a small leak at a joint is priced apart from the cleaning. If anything changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs here, the price is driven almost entirely by what we find when we get on the roof. A house with no overhanging trees and two stories can be a quick visit. The same footprint under a heavy canopy, with seed casings, needles and a twig packed into every elbow, is a longer one. One blockage at a downspout elbow can hold up the whole run, and flushing each downspout restores water flow and moves the water away from your home. The quickest way to get your gutters priced is a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to take, and we will tell you which of those your lot looks like before we come out. Our price covers cleaning and maintenance in one visit, and a clean gutter run takes less time than one packed with seed paste.
| 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.
Most of our customers book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is leaves and debris matted into the trough, and the rain that follows it is what overflows the front edge. Across Florida the spring visit falls in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. Across West Palm Beach the wettest months are June, August and September, and the heavy rainfall in those months loads the system, so the spring visit clears what the rainy season would otherwise sit in. A rain gutter that is clean before June gives the rainy season room to work.
Where landscape trees overhang the roofline, clogged downspouts are the usual problem, and the gutter system fills faster. Needles and grit pack each downspout between visits, and customers in that situation are on every three to four months. Each clog we find is cleared and flushed before we leave. How often to clean your gutters comes down to trees: few or no trees around the house usually means once a year in late fall is enough. Guards cut the frequency, but they do not cut it to zero: the surface still needs clearing, and we do it on the same schedule.
The gutter cleaning process is the same at every visit, and what changes is only how long each downspout takes to run clear. Commercial properties, and any lot near a busy road or active construction, tend to see faster grit buildup, which pushes the schedule shorter as well. Across Florida, hurricane season brings the storms that can pull a gutter loose and cause structural damage. To keep your gutters clean between visits, check the trough after a storm and call us when a run starts to sag. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing so you can plan the year.
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 the surrounding areas of West Palm Beach, FL too, and the schedule is set by the calendar, not by which side of town you are on. We work on West Palm Beach homes of every size, from single-story to three stories. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, built from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to take. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call. The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when most of our calendar fills with the regular gutter cleaning schedule.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works from the outside and does not come inside, so a side gate unlocked is usually all we need from you. Every visit includes debris removal, so nothing is left behind for you to bag and the gutters come out clean. Our gutter services cover residential and commercial properties, and residential properties get the same drainage check at the outlet. If you want to book a standing visit for next spring and fall, call (866) 435-6328 and we will put it on the calendar.
The number comes from stories and size, and our gutter cleaning service gives it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure from the website because the house decides it. Once we have the stories and an approximate square footage, the number is the number we charge.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. If the spring visit gets missed, the seed and pollen paste sets in and a clog forms in each downspout, and the rainwater runs over the front edge. Across Florida the fall visit falls in November to December, and clearing the system before the wettest months is how you protect your home from water damage.
Lead time for West Palm Beach FL jobs depends on the week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you need something sooner, say so when you book and we will tell you what is open.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and 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. The gutters are left clean, and you get the photos either way.
Yes, we flush every downspout with water and watch it until it runs clean at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check the drainage at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves but not the needles, seed casings and grit that sit on top of them. On our jobs the surface still needs clearing, usually on a slightly longer schedule than an open system. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain, it has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. 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. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. That rule applies to every gutter cleaning service job we book.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
