Our own crew cleans gutters in South Fulton, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been on ladders across Georgia for years, and most of our South Fulton customers book in the spring and fall, when seed, pollen and leaves are heaviest in the gutters.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
For South Fulton homes, the price depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters, and our gutter cleaning service quotes it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge, and a clean invoice is what we aim for on every job. We look at the whole gutter system before we quote, so the number covers the full house. Other gutter cleaning services price by length and land in a similar place per linear foot, but on our jobs the stories and the height of the eaves drive it more than the run length does.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means a boom or scissor lift, and that is priced in. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Leaves and debris are the easy part. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted sludge, which takes longer to clear. Gutters and downspouts fitted with guards add time too, since we have to lift and reseat each panel. We flush every downspout, check water flow at the outlet, and include debris removal, which is never billed as an extra. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent South Fulton job the lot had heavy tree cover and a walk-out lower level. The rain gutter was packed, and the crew found a clog at the first elbow of the back run; a slow leak had been sending water down the wall for a season. The clog and drainage problem were both cleared, and the photos showed the water running clear at the outlet before we left. Most of the homes we clean here have the same mix of trees and grade, so the quote is built around those details, and the sag and buildup we see on the back run are noted in the photo report.
A run that looks clean from the driveway can still hide structural damage at the fascia, and we say so when we find it. We are not selling a repair on the spot. We photograph it and put it in the report so you can decide what comes next. Water pooling against the foundation is one of the first signs that rainwater is not moving away from the house, and a flushed, flowing system keeps water away from your home.
Tell us the stories, the approximate size and whether trees cover the roof. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate. Commercial properties are quoted per building.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

| 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.
On our jobs in South Fulton GA, most customers book twice a year, in the spring after seed and pollen drop, and in the fall after the last leaves. Across Georgia, spring visits run mid to late April, and when we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds packed into the elbows and pollen paste over the screens. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag and pull loose by the following spring.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and clogged downspouts back water up the run. A single blockage at a downspout elbow can back up a whole run, and a twig wedged in the outlet does the same. With few or no trees, one visit a year in late November to December keeps a clean run for most lots. Gutter guards still need the surface cleared, and those cleanings come less often. A gutter that backs up after a heavy rainfall has usually been running on a schedule that was too long for the tree cover.
Gutters that stay clogged let rainwater sit in the trough and spill behind it, and that is how the roofline and fascia begin to rot. Regular gutter cleaning on the right schedule keeps that water moving away from the house. Our gutter maintenance visits, residential and commercial, follow the same logic: the building and the trees set the interval. Residential properties and commercial sites both get a written cleaning and maintenance schedule after the first visit.
Before you book, know that a missed visit is cheaper to fix than a rotted board, so get your gutters on the schedule before the overflow starts. A clean gutter stays clean longer when the schedule holds, and that is the easiest way to keep your gutters draining. The first visit is also when we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and it is the start of a regular gutter cleaning schedule that we keep. For South Fulton gutter cleaning, call (866) 435-6328 and we will check the calendar with you.
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.
The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text. We offer cleaning services in South Fulton and surrounding areas from our crew base, and we cover the city as a whole and the neighborhoods across South Fulton. Send us the stories, a rough sense of the size and how much tree cover is over the house, and a photo of the gutter line if that is easy. Lead time depends on the calendar at the moment you call, and we confirm the date with you before we come.
Our gutter services fill in two busy windows, one in late spring and one in late fall, so if you want a slot in those months, call early. We call before we come. Most South Fulton homeowners do not need to be home, but we set ladders so the landscape is not damaged. You do not have to be around for the work, and the photos of every run arrive on your phone either way, so you see the clean result.
We keep the crew busy enough to protect your schedule, not to fill every hour, which means a slot stays open for a homeowner who calls about a clog after a storm. If your gutters are overflowing now, say so when you call. A clean gutter that still overflows after a storm is worth a call too, and we will tell you whether the problem is a clog or a slope issue. We will book the earliest date we actually have.
Between visits, watch the front of the house during heavy rainfall, because that is how you know to clean your gutters early. If water runs over the edge instead of out of the downspouts, call us and text a photo. That single photo helps us decide whether it is a cleaning job or something to flag in the report, and it is a faster path to protect your home from water damage than waiting for the next scheduled visit.
Our gutter cleaning service is priced from stories and size, and we quote it by phone or text. We do not give a figure in this answer because the same two-story house can land in very different places depending on how much buildup is packed in the trough and how steep the pitch is.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the leaves come down. If you wait past those windows, the wet leaf mat or the packed seeds have usually had time to back water up behind the fascia. On a freeze-belt site that delay shows up as ice in the runs by winter, even on a gutter that was clean in the fall.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week, and our cleaning services in South Fulton run on the same booking calendar. We confirm a date when you call, so you know before we are on the ladder.
No. South Fulton homeowners do not need to be home, because our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends before-and-after photos of every run and downspout to your phone so you see the clean result. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet, and clogged downspouts get the same treatment, flow-tested until the water runs clear. A buried drain line that needs clearing is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it, and we do not add it to the cleaning price.
Yes. Under guards we find litter threaded through the mesh, seed casings and grit that settles on top of the screen. Once that mat is wet, rain runs over the front edge. We clear the surface and check that water is getting in, which is a shorter job than an open gutter but not zero.
A clean gutter system that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the job changes, and you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice. The quote we give on the phone is the number we charge when the job is done.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
