Our own crew cleans gutters in Doraville GA, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, 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. Most customers book in spring and fall, so that is when our calendar fills up.
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 size and what is sitting in the gutters. A Doraville gutter cleaning quote is built from those three things, given by phone or text, and the number we give is the number we charge. Other companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot once the job is done.
What moves the quote on our jobs is almost always what the crew finds up top. A third story, or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run much higher than the front. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out with packed leaf mass that has to be dug and bagged, not scooped. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time before the trough is clean. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away of everything the crew pulls out are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, not on the invoice.
On a recent job at a two-story home in one of our neighborhoods, the front was clean but the back run had a clog at the outlet that was sending water over the edge; the crew flushed it until the water ran clean at the bottom, and the quote held. Doraville homeowners with heavy tree cover tend to have more leaves and debris in the spring, which is why the crew checks the downspouts before they leave. For homes that have gone a long time without service, we look for structural damage at the fascia and the joints and tell you what we see. Where drainage is slow, we check the water flow at every outlet and photograph the run so you can see where it backs up.
To get a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible. For residential and commercial properties we quote per building, and the same rule applies: what we see is what we price.
| 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 residential properties book twice a year, in the spring and fall windows we run every year. Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps seeds and leaf mat from setting, so it is worth booking both. When we open a gutter here in spring, we find seeds, seed casings and pollen packed into the elbows, and a clog is often forming by then. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by the next winter. Booking both windows is the simplest way to clean your gutters before the buildup sets.
Under heavy tree cover, plan a visit every few months, because needles and grit pack the gutter elbows between trips. A house with few or no trees can usually go once a year, in late fall, and stay clean between visits. Guarded gutters need less frequent gutter maintenance, but the surface still needs clearing, and we check the gutter system underneath each time. A rain gutter that stays full lets rainwater spill over the front edge and down the roofline, and that is how rot starts behind the fascia after heavy rainfall. Blockage is the usual cause, and it is the first thing the crew clears.
Every visit includes debris removal, so the bags leave with the crew. On one job with no trees, the customer stayed on a once-a-year schedule and the gutter was clear at every visit. On another under a large canopy, the customer moved to a visit every few months after the first one showed a full buildup in the gutter elbows. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we give you the estimate in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
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 across Doraville and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we have cleaned gutters in several of the neighborhoods you would expect to see on a typical street. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text, from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to take. We give every homeowner a lead time when you call, and we confirm the date in writing. The two busiest windows on our calendar are late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months helps.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you have a question about the scope before we arrive, ask it on the phone and we will answer it there. We flush every downspout before we leave, and the crew checks gutters and downspouts for sagging runs, a twig or leaf jam, and any leak at a joint. Our goal is to keep your gutters clean and working between cleanings and to protect your home from water damage, not to sell anything beyond the cleaning. Our cleaning services in Doraville are priced the same way: the number we give is the number on the invoice. If you have gutter guards, tell us when you call, because the crew prices the lift and reseat as part of the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your gutters on the schedule, and we will confirm the date with you. You can also reach us about gutter services for other properties in the same area.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We give it by phone or text, and it is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in late spring and late fall. If you wait past the fall leaves, we often find the wet leaf mat has already started to work into the outlets.
Our gutter cleaning service usually has a slot within the week, and we confirm the date when you call, so you know when the crew will arrive.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested. If a line drains underground, we check the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep out the leaves but not the needles, seeds or grit, which settle on top and then block the water. We clear the surface and check the flow underneath.
A clean gutter that still overflows has a slope, downspout-size or landscape grading problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video 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, we tell you and you agree before work starts. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
