Our own crew cleans gutters here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the yard left clean, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Florida, most of our customers book for spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves have finished falling.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way for residential and commercial buildings. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but the total still depends on how many stories and how much buildup the crew finds. Our crew gives you a single number before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means a boom or scissor lift and more time. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down heavy, with compacted leaves and grit packed into the trough. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a few minutes per run. Every downspout gets flushed, and a slow leak at a seam or a sagging run gets noted before the crew packs up. 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.
On one of our jobs, a two-story house with heavy tree cover had its gutters packed with leaves and muck to the elbow of every downspout. The crew found clogged downspouts on the back run and water sitting behind the fascia on one side, the kind of damage a clog hides for a season, until the fascia starts to rot. The quote reflected the extra time on the back run. We flush every downspout and run a flow test before the photos go out, and the back run came out clean. You can see that job here: this two-story job.
Westwood Lakes homes and commercial properties in the same area get the same plain pricing: you hear the number before we start, and the crew does not stop mid-job to ask for more. Keeping water moving is how we protect your home from water damage, so the flushing never gets left out. If the job looks like it needs something other than cleaning, the crew photographs it and reports it. We do not sell repairs on the ladder.

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 runs mid to late April, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs November to December, after the last leaves. In Westwood Lakes FL, when we open a rain gutter in spring we find seeds, seed casings, a twig or two and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat and debris that sits on the trough, and a blockage in the trough holds rainwater against the roofline. Houses that skip the fall visit are the ones where we find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next spring. If you only remember one thing, clean your gutters at both windows.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months keeps up with needles and grit packing the downspout elbows between visits. Few or no trees around the house or the landscape beside it, once a year in the November to December window, is usually enough to keep water away from the house. Houses near a busy road or construction need three or four cleanings a year, because the grit does not stop coming in. Guards, when a house has them, get less frequent gutter maintenance, with the surface still cleared. Keeping the trough clean between visits does most of the work. Rain here totals about 69.7 inches a year, so heavy rainfall is when a clog or a sag shows up first.
On our Westwood Lakes gutter cleaning jobs we see two patterns. One customer with no trees on the lot books once a year, and the gutters stay clear and water runs out the bottom and away from your home. Another customer with trees over the roof is on every three to four months, and the downspout stays clean between visits. You can see those jobs here: no-tree job and tree-cover job. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a 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 cleans gutters across the surrounding areas, working out of the nearest base. Homeowners book by phone or text: we ask for stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the slot, so get your gutters on the calendar early when you call. Our calendar fills in the spring visit window and again in the fall window, so booking early keeps the choice of date open. We also handle gutter services for residential properties, and our process starts with that phone call and ends with a clean yard.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works outside, and the photos of every run come to your phone. If you want to keep your gutters clean through the rainy season, tell us when you call and we will set the visit to match your schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will get back to you with the date and the number. If you are looking for cleaning services, that is the call to make.
Our cleaning services in Westwood Lakes are quoted from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We give the number over the phone or by text, and it is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are included, and the crew leaves the gutters clean.
Across Florida, the spring visit runs mid to late April and the fall visit runs November to December, after the last leaves. If you wait past the fall window, we usually find sagged runs by spring on houses that skipped the visit.
Lead time depends on the calendar when a homeowner calls, and we confirm a date when you book. Most cleaning service slots come up within the week, and we do not promise same-day in advance.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of the gutters and downspouts, run by run, 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 flow-test it, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet so rainwater drains away from your home. If the drain line is buried and needs clearing, that is a separate job and we quote it before touching it.
Yes. A guarded gutter system still collects needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet water runs over the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath, and check the flow.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not debris. Send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Cleaning and maintenance alone will not change a slope, so we do not sell a second cleaning for it.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and you hear it and agree before work starts. The quote from the phone is the number on the invoice. That is part of our gutter cleaning process: anything that changes the job gets raised first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
