Our own crew cleans gutters in Clarkston, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Georgia, most of our customers book in mid to late April and again in the fall, and we have done that work on houses like yours for years.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give you a written estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A run that comes out clean in one pass costs less than one packed for years, which is why we ask what is in there. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, and we are happy to walk through how we arrive at the figure for your house.
On our Clarkston jobs, four things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. A twig wedged in an elbow is a quick fix, but gutters nobody has opened in years hold compacted debris and often a clog that takes real time to clear, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
When a homeowner calls, we ask a few plain questions and sometimes ask for a quick text photo of the front of the house. That is usually enough for an accurate number. Some houses come out clean on the first pass, and others show what the season did to them. If a leak or a run that begins to sag shows up during the visit, our crew photographs it and reports it in writing, and whether you act on it is up to you. We keep the scope to cleaning and maintenance, so the number stays tied to the work you asked for.
Here is how it works with our crew on a typical call. You tell us the stories and the size, we confirm the tree cover, and we give you one number that covers the cleaning and the flush. Our gutter cleaning service in Clarkston GA follows the same gutter cleaning process on every house, whether it is a small ranch or a two-story with a long back run. Get your gutters quoted now and you will know the cost before a ladder goes up. Whatever the heavy rainfall brings, a clean rain gutter that drains moves water away from your home, and that is the outcome we are paid for.
Call (866) 435-6328 for a number from your stories and size, or text us a photo of the house front and we will reply with the price.

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 homeowners in Clarkston GA book twice a year. Across Georgia, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from November to early December, once the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is a wet mat of leaves and debris, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have pulled loose by March. At each visit we check water flow out of every downspout, because that is the quickest way to tell whether the gutter is still doing its job.
On lots across Clarkston with heavy tree cover, we see the downspouts clog between visits, which is why clogged downspouts are the first thing we check on those houses. Those houses go on a cycle of every three to four months. Needles and grit collect in the outlets faster than the seasons alone would suggest, and that buildup can cause a blockage, structural damage, or water backing up behind the fascia, and wood rot follows. A home whose landscape has few or no trees usually needs only one visit a year, in late fall. Houses with gutter guards still need the surface cleared, just less often than an open gutter.
We keep a simple rule for timing: clean before the wet season and before the first hard freeze, not after the water is already coming over the edge. Clarkston gets about 53.2 inches of rain a year, with January, March and December the wettest months, so a gutter missed in the fall will meet heavy rainfall in one of them. Ice dams in the eave are the worst outcome of a missed fall visit, and they show up as soon as the cold arrives. The simplest way to keep your gutters clean through winter is a fall visit, and it helps you protect your home from water damage down the line, keeping rainwater moving away from the foundation.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 works homes across Clarkston GA from the nearest base, so you do not need to be in a particular part of town to book. We give the quote by phone or text from your stories, your home's size and the tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Booking runs on our calendar, and the two busiest windows are spring and fall, when most homeowners want a slot at the same time. We call before we come, and nobody has to be home for the visit. On every visit we flush every downspout, clean the trough and the elbows, then check drainage at each outlet. Addresses in surrounding areas are welcome to call, and we will confirm the route when you do.
Whether you want to clean your gutters and downspouts once or set up regular gutter cleaning on a schedule, we fit the visit to the tier your lot needs. Many Clarkston homes settle into spring and fall cleanings, and we confirm the timing with the quote. Residential properties in town get the same crew and the same photo report as every other job we do, and the process stays consistent from one call to the next. Commercial properties are quoted case by case, and a building that is residential and commercial at once gets the same review before we give a number. Every job ends with clean runs and a photo report to show it. Our gutter services run on the same calendar, and we will tell you when the next opening is when you call.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story with a long back run is a different job than a two-story with a short front run.
Across Georgia, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, and fall visits run from November to early December. Booking early is the simplest way to keep your gutters clean going into the wet months. If you wait past the first hard freeze, the risk of ice dams and runs pulling loose goes up.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call.
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. Once the runs are clean, the photos arrive whether or not you are there.
Yes. Our crew will flush every downspout and flow-test it as part of the job. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate task, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep most leaves out, but debris still builds up on top and roof grit settles underneath. The surface still needs clearing, though usually less often than an open gutter, and a clean top keeps the guards doing their job.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number we quote is the number we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Our work is mostly residential homes. For commercial properties, or a building that is residential and commercial at once, tell us on the phone and we will say whether the job fits our crew. To get your gutters and downspouts on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with a photo of the roofline, and we will answer with a written estimate.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
