Our own crew cleans gutters around here, flushes every drain pipe, flow-tests each run and hauls the debris away. You get 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 house. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs here, most customers book in spring and fall, and we are glad to fit you in.
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 an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a house with a second story the difference shows up in how the crew works the ladder.
On our jobs, a third story or a pitch too steep to walk changes the work the most. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, and gutters nobody has opened in years arrive packed with compacted buildup that takes longer to clear. When a run has guards, we lift them to clean the trough and reseat them afterward. Flushing the drains, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote, never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts.
What we see most often on East Point homes is a gutter that looks fine from the driveway but has a clog two feet up the drop pipe, or a run that sags or shows a leak at the seam and holds water until the next storm. Those are the calls where the crew takes the extra time to clear the blockage and check the water flow all the way to the outlet, so the drainage works after we leave.
Our crew has cleaned gutters on houses with heavy canopy, where the leaves and debris pile up faster than on open lots. When the homeowner told us about the trees and we saw the house, we quoted the extra visit up front and kept the number on the phone. For commercial properties the same logic applies: the count of stories and the build type decide the crew size, and we quote each building separately.
Keeping water away from your home is the reason to clean on schedule, and it is how you protect your home from water damage. A clean rain gutter carries rainwater down the drop pipe, and a clogged one lets it spill over the edge onto the landscape at the foundation, soaking the fascia and soil and leading to structural damage. Clogged downspouts are the cheapest thing to fix now and the most expensive thing to fix after the water has done its work.
| 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 here, in East Point GA, book twice a year, once in spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in the spring, we usually find seed casings and pollen packed into the drop elbows. In late November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by February, one of the wettest months here.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig collect in the pipes between visits. Homes with few or no trees usually need one visit a year in late fall. Gutter guards change the picture less than most people expect: they keep leaves out of the trough, but the surface still needs clearing and the water flow still needs checking.
Winter storms are not the main concern here, though a heavy rainfall can push water over a blocked run in a matter of minutes. A clog of debris that holds water through a wet February can rot a fascia board before spring. The clean-out before the rainy months matters more than the exact date, so clean your gutters before the wettest stretch arrives.
Residential properties follow the schedule above, and commercial properties follow a similar pattern with a longer list. Office and retail buildings that drain to internal scuppers get a check between full cleanings, because a blocked drain on a flat-topped building backs up without warning. Our crew schedules those visits per building and sends the same photos we send homeowners.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot needs for regular gutter cleaning, and we put it in writing so you can plan the next visit. That first visit doubles as a cleaning and maintenance check, and it is the right time to plan your gutter maintenance.
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 East Point and the surrounding areas, and we cover the city as a whole from the nearest base. We book by phone or text: send us a photo of the front of the house if it is easy, and tell us the stories, the approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof. From those we give you a quote you can rely on. Every visit covers the whole gutter system, meaning the gutters and downspouts together, from the first run to the outlet.
East Point gutter cleaning lead times depend on the season, and the calendar fills during the two busy windows of spring and fall. Book early if you want to get your gutters done in a specific week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Residential and commercial jobs both go on the same schedule, so one call can set up a home and a shop. If you are not sure what the gutters need, ask us to look at the photo first and tell you what we see, before you commit to a visit. Keep your gutters clean between visits, and the crew has less to do on the next call. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will tell you what the next step is.
We also do residential cleaning for homeowners who want regular cleanings on a set schedule, and the same crew handles both kinds of gutter cleaning services.
The number comes from the stories, the size and what is in the gutter system. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, and the price we give you is the price on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seeds and pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. If you wait past that, we usually find the drains packed and the runs holding water.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If you need something sooner, tell us when you call and we will see what the calendar allows for your service. Cleaning services in East Point run on one calendar, homes and shops alike.
No. Our gutter cleaning process runs outside only: the crew works from ladders, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet 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 so you can see the water leaving at the bottom. If a drop pipe feeds an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards keep the leaves out of the trough, but on our jobs we still find twigs, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and packing the drains underneath.
Send us a photo or a short video of the overflow in the rain. A gutter that is clean and still spills over usually has a slope or drain-size problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell you a second cleaning.
It should not. Once you get your gutters booked, the quote is the number, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
