Our own crew cleans gutters in Norcross GA, flushes and flow-tests every run, hauls it all away, and sends photos 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 your invoice. Most of our homeowners book in spring and fall, and we have been on those roofs through every season the calendar offers, leaving each gutter clean when we go.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our pricing starts with the number of stories, the square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run of gutter, but we find the stories and size are what the customer actually needs to understand. For residential properties, those two answers usually settle the quote before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the house. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a heavy buildup packed into the trough, and that takes time to clear by hand. A sag in the run or a clog near the outlet adds time too, because the drainage has to be checked once the run is clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to the job. Flushing, water flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job the house had a steep front roof and a heavy leaf load along the gutter clog line, and the crew spent extra time getting the gutters clean before the run could be flushed and tested. We told the customer what we found before we started, and the number on the invoice matched the number on the phone. That is how we want every one of our Norcross homes to go, whether the house is a small ranch or a large home near the busy corridor.
For commercial properties we price per building and schedule it, which covers the same flushing and haul-off. We clean residential and commercial buildings across Norcross and the surrounding areas, and the approach is the same: clear the run, flush each outlet, check the water flow, and photograph the result.
Ask for a written estimate and we will put the stories, the size and the tree cover in it so you can see what drives the number. If you want us to clean your gutters on a set schedule, most homes book a spring and fall visit, and we can talk through regular gutter cleaning at the same time.
| 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 book our gutter services twice a year. Across Georgia, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and in Norcross GA the fall visit runs November to early December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in spring we usually find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and a run that is not clean by then holds water through the summer rains. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next season.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and the rainwater backs up before the next scheduled cleaning. A roofline with few or no trees does well on once a year in late fall, though the leaves and the odd twig still need clearing so the troughs stay clean. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be cleared, and the guard does not stop everything that collects on top of it. Across Georgia, tropical remnants bring heavy rainfall, and a wet year is when a skipped visit shows first.
A clog in one run often shows up as an overflow at the other end of the gutter, which is why we flush every downspout and check the water flow in the gutters and downspouts, rather than only scooping the trough. Left alone, a slow blockage keeps water against the fascia and the eave, and small leaks can grow into fascia rot and structural damage. A clean run moves water away from your home and off the foundation. Keeping it open is how you protect your home from water damage, and that is the real reason the calendar matters.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate goes in writing so you can plan the year around it. If you are unsure whether your house is on the twice-a-year or the every-three-months schedule, text us a photo of the front of the house, whether you are in town or the surrounding areas, and we will say so. Once you know, you can get your gutters on the calendar and keep your gutters clean between visits.
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 crews provide cleaning services to the homes nearby, working from a base close enough to keep the calendar tight. Every homeowner gets the same crew whether it is a first visit or a fifth. Booking with us starts with a quote by phone or text; call (866) 435-6328 and we will take it from there. Tell us the number of stories, roughly how big the house is, and whether there are trees over the house. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Lead time depends on the week. Spring and fall are the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills, so the earlier you call the better your choice of date. Outside those windows we can usually find an open slot faster. Norcross gutter cleaning visits and gutter guards jobs are booked the same way as gutter maintenance: a quote, a date, and a photo set at the end. If you want a particular day, ask when you call and we will tell you what is open before you commit. A clean run on the first of our cleanings makes every later visit faster.
A homeowner with a leak or a sagging run after heavy rainfall usually wants the work done sooner than the calendar allows, and we will tell you honestly what we can fit in. If the gutter is still overflowing after cleaning and maintenance, we want to know, so we can look at it and get the water away from your home. We will not bill you for another visit to fix a slope problem.
Once the date is set, we confirm it the day before with an arrival window and again when the crew is on the way. Ask us how the gutter cleaning process works for your house, including what a clean finish looks like, and we will help you get your gutters on a schedule that fits.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. For commercial properties we quote per building. It is the number on your invoice, with gutters and downspouts flushed and haul-off already included.
Most of our customers book in late spring and late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, we usually find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next season. A rain gutter packed with leaves and debris is heavy enough to pull loose, and the fascia behind it can start to rot.
Same-day depends on the week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what is open.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, move any landscape furniture off the path, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every run, check the water flow at the outlet, clear any clogged downspouts, and leave the trough clean. If a run feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guard panels keep out whole leaves, but needles and seed casings ride on top and form a sticky layer once wet. Every visit, the crew clears the top surface and checks that the trough stays clean below the panels, so the guard does its job.
If a run still spills water over the edge in rain after we leave, the problem is usually slope or capacity, not a clog. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what the gutter system needs to move water away from the house.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
