Our own crew cleans gutters here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, the gutters left clean, 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 house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been doing it that way 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 stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price cleaning and maintenance by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured. What moves it on our jobs: a third story or a pitch too steep to walk on, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted debris and twig mats, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clean underneath.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts, not on the invoice. Monroe homeowners with a heavy tree canopy tend to need more time at the outlets, and the gutter cleaning process is the same whether the house is small or large. Most jobs finish with clean gutters and nothing left on the lawn.
Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the stories and the rough size, and say whether trees hang over the house. That is usually enough for a firm number. A homeowner who wants to get your gutters cleaned before the rainy season can call (866) 435-6328 and we will give the quote on the spot. We provide cleaning services in Monroe that are quoted this way, and quoting by the foot is the other way companies do it. We are happy to explain how it compares once you have our number in hand.

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 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, spring cleanings usually land in mid to late April. On our jobs in spring we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. Fall visits usually land between November and early December, when leaves and debris have had weeks to settle in the trough. A clean trough going into fall is the cheapest defense against rot. Where we have cleaned the gutter system in past years, the rot still starts at the fascia boards behind the runs that were never opened, which is the real cost of skipping gutter maintenance.
Under heavy tree cover, plan a visit about every three or four months, since seed casings and grit build up and clog the outlets between cleanings. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps the trough from filling. On a sloped landscape or near a busy road, the rain gutter collects dust and silt fast, and the same schedule applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most homes. Guards cut the work down, but the surface still needs a clean, so guards go on the same schedule as an open gutter, just a little less often.
Gutters and the surrounding roofline rarely fail all at once. Monroe gets 50.9 inches of rain a year, and January, March and August are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall finds any weak joint quickly. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough finds a small leak first, then the fascia. We see runs that sag and clogged downspouts that stop moving water away from your home only when the buildup is left alone long enough to cause structural damage. Keeping the trough clean is the surest way to stop that. Poor drainage at one corner usually means the whole run needs a look. 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.
We have cleaned gutters across Monroe, and the crew covers the city and surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking is simple: give us the stories, the size and whether trees shade the house by phone or text, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We check water flow and drainage at every outlet, call before we come, leave the site clean, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The services we book here start with that call. Debris removal is included in every quote.
Monroe homes fill the calendar in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so the sooner you call the better your chance of getting the date you want. Lead times change with the season, and we confirm the date when you book. We serve residential and commercial properties on the same booking system, and we keep homeowners and building managers on separate schedules so each one gets a straight answer. Whether you want to clean your gutters once or set up regular gutter cleaning, tell us when you call.
For a clear quote and a firm date, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of your roofline. We can usually tell from the photo whether the gutters need a quick flush or a full clean. Our gutter cleaning service and our other gutter services are quoted the same way, by phone or text.
The number comes from the stories and size of the house, and we give you the estimate by phone or text. Once we have those, the quote is firm and it is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in late spring after the seed drop and again in late fall after the leaves come down. If you wait past the first hard freeze on a house that skipped the fall visit, we often find runs pulling loose by March.
Same-day slots in Monroe GA depend on the week. Most open slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so there are no surprises.
No. The 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.
Yes, the crew flushes every downspout as part of the gutters and downspouts work and checks that water is leaving at the outlet. If a buried drainage line runs off the downspout, checking the outlet is included, but clearing the line itself is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, just less often. To keep your gutters clear you have to lift the guard and check what sits on top, because seed casings and grit collect there and some of it drops underneath. Doing that protects your home from water damage, so we clean both sides when we reseat the guards.
A gutter that is clean and still spills rainwater over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage. Send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning for it.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before any work starts, and downspout flushing and haul-off are already in the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
