Our own crew cleans gutters in North Druid Hills. We clear every run, flush every downspout and flow-test it, haul the leaves off, and send photos of every run before we leave. Every job ends with the gutters clean.
The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover sits over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills.
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 in the gutters. Each visit covers a clean job, every run cleared and every downspout flushed. Every homeowner gets the same process: it starts with a phone call or text and ends at the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but we price the whole house.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, a rain gutter nobody has opened in years and packed solid with compacted leaves, and guards we have to lift and reseat. A clog at a downspout elbow adds time, and a buried drainage line is a separate job, priced first. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our North Druid Hills homes, the calls that stand out are the ones where a gutter system has been left to fill over several seasons. On one of our cases, the crew found the gutters so full the run had started to sag, with water spilling over the front edge and running behind the fascia. That is the kind of structural damage a full clean is meant to stop before it spreads. Keeping water away from the house is the point, and the number was set from the stories and the amount of leaves we found, and it did not change once we were on the ladder. You can see the case here.
Gutter cleaning services are priced to the house in front of us, not to a rate card, and that goes for commercial properties too. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the number.

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 customers in North Druid Hills GA book in spring and fall, so regular gutter cleaning becomes a calendar habit rather than a rescue. Across Georgia, the pollen and seed drop peaks in mid to late April, and that is when seed casings pack into the downspout elbows. The fall visit lands in November to early December, after the last leaves come down.
In spring we find seeds and pollen packed into the downspout elbows, and a clog there can back water up the gutter in the first hard rain. In fall we find the leaf mat, and in our winters that matters before the first freeze, since trapped water becomes ice at the eave. Houses that skip the fall visit are the ones where runs sag or pull loose by March, while houses on a set schedule stay clean through the wet months.
Heavy rainfall is the real test. Locally we get about 53 inches a year, and January, March and December are the wettest months, so a blocked run shows up fast. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough spills over the front edge, and a blockage at the elbow makes it worse. The gutters need to be clean before the rain, not after.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Gutters with guards need fewer visits, but the surface still needs clearing. Most owners only think about it once the water starts coming over the edge, but the time to clean your gutters is before that.
Regular cleaning means a short visit and a clean run. Waiting for a problem means a sagging run, a stained ceiling or a soft fascia board. Our gutter service starts with an estimate on the first call, and 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.
Our crew covers the surrounding areas, and we are one of the cleaning services that gives the number by phone. We clean gutters for homeowners across the neighborhoods we serve, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Cleanings are booked by phone or text. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house. We ask about the number of stories, the rough size of the home and whether trees hang over the roof, then give you an estimate on the phone. North Druid Hills gutter cleaning books fastest in spring and fall, so booking early keeps your preferred date. A short visit on a set day is the simplest way to keep your gutters clean all year.
Every visit covers gutters and downspouts from the roofline down, and we flush every downspout until it runs clear. Debris removal is included in the price. We also clean commercial properties on a set schedule. Our plan for residential properties runs on the same calendar, so residential and commercial work is priced on one call.
Our gutter service is one ticket for cleaning and maintenance, so you do not pay for two trips. Our gutter services include a check for a leak at the seams and a twig caught in the elbows, and that check is part of the quote. Homes with gutter guards get the same gutter maintenance check, since the guards come off to see what the cleaning actually found.
A clean run is how you protect your home from water damage, and it is how you keep your gutters working between visits. Water that goes down the downspout stays away from the foundation, the fascia and the soffit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text, as one of the cleaning services in North Druid Hills that prices before the visit. We do not give a range here, because the same two-story house can need a different visit depending on its tree cover and what is packed in the gutters.
Most customers book in spring and fall, with the fall visit landing in November to early December. Gutter maintenance is easiest to book before the wettest months, January, March and December. If the fall visit is skipped, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March, and a fascia board that has started to rot, so the late fall visit is the one we push hardest.
We work across North Druid Hills, and most slots come up within the week, so get your gutters booked when you call. We confirm the date on that call, and we do not promise same-day service.
No. The crew works outside around your landscape, 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. Ladder stand-offs keep every ladder away from your home and off the gutter lip.
Yes. We flush every downspout with water and watch the water flow until it runs clear at the bottom, since a clogged downspout is the usual reason a gutter spills. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. On a guarded gutter system, the guards hold back the big leaves, but small debris, seed casings and grit settle on top of them and turn to a mat that sheds water over the edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, and reseat them.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in heavy rainfall, and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. In our process, anything that changes the job is raised and agreed before work starts, so the number we gave you is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
