Our own crew cleans gutters, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled off, 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 hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Georgia, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed and pollen drop and the leaves come down.
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. Most gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place per foot, but on these homes the stories and the condition of the runs usually decide the total.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds once they are on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the crew size and the equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave. A clean run takes minutes, but gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, and that takes longer than a light clog. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing, 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 the Macon homes we clean, the most common surprise is a run that looks clear from the ground but has a buildup of seeds and grit at the elbow, which is where a clog forms and where the drainage stops. Our crew clears the elbow, runs water down the drop pipe, and watches the bottom until the flow is steady. On our jobs that check is what tells us whether a gutter needs a second look or whether the sag at the end of a run is a slope problem. When we see a sag or water flow that does not clear, we say so and do not sell a second cleaning for it.
Residential and commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis: what we find, the size of the building, and the access. Residential properties get the number on the phone, and commercial clients get a written quote per building. Either way, you hear the price before we roll a ladder out. Clean your gutters in spring and fall on a schedule that fits the tree cover on your lot, and the regular gutter cleaning keeps the job short. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what the job will cost.

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 in Macon GA book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Georgia, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and when we open a gutter then we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. The fall visit runs November to early December, and by then we find a wet mat of leaves that has been sitting since the first rains. Either way, the rainwater has nowhere to go until the blockage is cleared.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site, the gutters fill faster, so those customers book cleanings every three to four months. Needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits, and clogs are the usual result of a skipped visit. Flush every downspout on each visit, because that step keeps the water moving. A lot in the surrounding areas with few or no trees is usually fine on a once a year schedule in late fall, and a clean gutter run there may need only the one visit. Guards cut the frequency, but the surface still needs clearing, and the crew checks what is sitting on top of them each visit.
On our routes a pattern shows up every year: houses that skipped the fall visit come back to us in late winter with runs that have pulled loose from the fascia, a leak at the seam, and water pooling at the foot of the drop pipe. That is the kind of home water damage the schedule is meant to prevent, and it is much cheaper to catch it at the twice a year visit than after the wet season has run through the gutter. Macon gets about 51.3 inches of rain a year, with June, July and December the wettest months, so a rain gutter that is clean going into June keeps the water moving. Keep your gutters on a schedule and protect your home from water damage.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the trough and the outlet. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a date when you text us a photo of your roofline and we will set the schedule for your house. Regular gutter services on a schedule are the simplest way to keep the job short, and the landscape around the house decides how often your lot needs them.
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 Macon and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and our cleaning services book in the order the calls come in. Book by phone or text, and we will ask for the stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof. Each homeowner gets the same questions, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We do not need to see the inside of the house, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, one in spring and one in late fall, when most homeowners are thinking about their gutters at the same time. Macon gutter cleaning books up fastest in those windows, and cleanings booked late wait longest, so book early. We call before we come. The crew flushes every outlet and clears any twig jammed in the elbow, and photos of every run go to your phone when the job is done. Get your gutters on the calendar before the first heavy rain, and the crew can work the job dry.
Homeowners who want the gutter cleaning process laid out before they book can ask us to walk them through it on the phone. We will explain the steps, what we check at each outlet, and where we stop if the gutter needs a second look. Our gutter maintenance schedule works around the rain, so a wet week pushes the cleaning and maintenance visit back a day rather than sending the crew out to work in standing water. Gutter guards get the same flush and check as open runs, and any leak at a seam is reported before the crew leaves. Heavy rainfall is the time most people want their gutters cleaned, which is why the calendar fills then. Once the runs are clean and the water runs out the bottom, the job is done.
If you want a quote for your house, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with the quote. Extensions go back on and keep the water away from your home.
Our cleaning services in Macon are quoted from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those three things, so call or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the price.
Across Georgia, the spring visit falls in mid to late April. Across Macon most of our customers book the fall visit from November to early December, after the leaves are down. If the gutters wait past fall, we find sagging runs and water pooling before the December rains on houses that skipped the visit.
Same-day depends on the calendar, so most slots come up within the week and we confirm a date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first opening.
No. Our crew works outside, 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, every outlet is flushed and flow-tested, and clogged downspouts get cleared before we leave. We check that water is leaving at the outlet, carrying the water away from the foundation. The same check applies to commercial properties. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep most leaves and debris out, but needles, seeds and grit sit on top of the guard, a twig can jam the gutter system underneath, and the water stops getting in. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush the outlet and reseat the guards. Tell us about the landscape and the trees over the roof, and we price that in.
If a clean rain gutter still sheets water over the edge, the problem is slope or outlet capacity, not a clog. Send us a short video taken in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem. Rot in a fascia board is structural damage, and we flag it rather than quote a repair on the spot.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after. Any question these frequently asked questions skip, call (866) 435-6328 and we will answer it on the phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
