Our own crew cleans gutters in Decatur, flushing every downspout, flow-testing each run, and hauling the debris away. You get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, house size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice.
Spring and fall are when seed drop and the last leaves pack gutters hardest, so that is when most visits land.
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 packed in the gutters. We quote from those three things by phone or text, and the number we quote is the number we charge. If you are a homeowner comparing cleaning services in Decatur, ask every company for the same three details before you accept a number.
On our jobs, the gutter cleaning process slows for a third story or a steep pitch that cannot be walked safely. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above grade, and gutters nobody has opened in years come out heavy with compacted leaves. A twig jammed in a downspout elbow means extra work before the flush runs clear. Where there are gutter guards, we lift them, clean underneath and reseat them, which adds time too. Once the run is clean, we check water flow at every outlet, and downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included, with every bag leaving with the truck, away from your home. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
To get your gutters priced for your own house, text us a photo of the front and tell us the stories, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will quote it on the phone. If the house needs more time, you hear it before we climb, and the invoice matches the quote.
Keep your gutters clear between visits as part of your gutter maintenance. Repeat cleanings on the same house are quoted the same way as the first, from stories and what is packed in the gutters. Pair cleaning and maintenance with a look after each big storm, and the next visit stays quick. A heavy rainfall is the first real test: if the rain gutter still pours water over the edge instead of carrying water away from the house the day after a clean run, that is a slope or capacity question, and we tell you so instead of selling a second cleaning. A leak at a seam gets a photo and a report, not a patch on the spot.

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.
Plan two visits a year. Across Georgia, spring usually lands in mid to late April, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit fits November to early December, after the last leaves are down. In spring the buildup is seed and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is the wet leaves and debris, and a clean pass before the freeze helps. Our gutter cleaning services across Decatur follow the same two-visit rhythm. Skip the fall visit and wet debris can rot the fascia through winter, while a gutter system can sag or pull loose under the weight of ice. That is structural damage a visit would have caught.
Decatur gets about 53 inches of rain a year, and January, March and December are the wettest months, so the winter runs carry the most water. Under heavy tree cover, clogged downspouts fill back up faster, since needles and grit build a clog at the outlet between visits, so plan visits more often. The landscape around the house sets the schedule more than the calendar does. Near a busy road or construction, or on commercial properties, the same logic applies.
With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards mean fewer visits, but you still need to clean your gutters on the surface. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot needs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters to book your next 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 Decatur homes and the surrounding areas, so most addresses nearby are a short trip for the crew. Booking our gutter cleaning service works like this: you call (866) 435-6328 or text, we ask about stories, house size, tree cover and how the water flow runs off the roof, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We confirm a date and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home. The crew leaves the yard as clean as it found it.
The two busy windows on our calendar are spring and fall, when most homeowners book at once. If you can wait a little, slots come up faster in the weeks between, unless a clog has already backed water up at the eave. We handle residential and commercial work, so residential properties and commercial properties can be booked on the same call. Our gutter services include bagging, hauling and photos for every run.
Homes on a regular gutter cleaning schedule can keep the same crew where the route allows, so the visits stay consistent. If a slot is tight, tell us the gutters have been packed for a while and we will work you in where the calendar allows, because a packed run is slower to clear.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not give a figure without knowing the house, so tell us the stories and send a photo of the front for an estimate. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Plan spring and fall visits. Across Georgia, spring usually falls in mid to late April, and in November to early December the leaves are down. In spring a clog can form in each downspout from seed and pollen; in late fall it is the leaf mat, and if it waits until after the first freeze, ice can sag the runs by March.
We do not promise same-day service in Decatur GA, but we confirm a date when you call and tell you the earliest opening on the calendar. A sooner slot helps protect your home from water damage when the gutters are already packed.
No. Our crew works on the gutters and downspouts from outside, along the roofline, and does not come inside. You get photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves. Everything is bagged and hauled away from your home. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving the outlet, so you know the drainage is working. If a line drains into the ground, we report what we see; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes, but less often. Keep your gutters checked anyway: guards keep out leaves, but twigs, seed casings and grit still settle on top and can clog the run. We clear the surface, flush every downspout and reseat the guards.
Send us a photo or a short video of the overflow in the rain and we tell you what it is. If rainwater still spills over the front edge after a clean run, the cause is usually a slope or capacity problem rather than a blockage, and we say so instead of selling another cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The invoice matches the quote you were given on the phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
