Our own crew cleans gutters in St. Simons GA. We flush every downspout, flow-test it, haul the debris away, leave the trough clean, and send photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your house size and how much tree cover you have, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our homeowners book the spring and fall visits, and we have been running those schedules across Georgia for years of regular work. Text us a photo of the gutters and we will tell you what they need.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. The same method covers residential and commercial properties. Other gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the stories and the pitch do most of the work. Our crew sees the same pattern on St. Simons homes again and again, and a clean run is cheaper to keep.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds once the ladder is up. A third story, or a steep roof that cannot be walked, means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, and it takes longer to get them clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and checking the drainage at the outlet are included and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs we see the same things drive the number up. Clog buildup in the trough, a rain gutter that has started to sag, and drain pipes blocked at the elbow all take extra time, and we photograph each one so you can see what we found. Where leaves and debris have sat through a rainy season, the water flow is slow and the gutter fills faster than it drains. Clogged downspouts push water toward the foundation and into the landscape beside it, and that is how structural damage starts on a house we would rather keep dry. Clearing it early keeps the water away from your home, and a clean gutter costs less over time for homes across St. Simons.
Our experience is from the work itself. On a recent job here, the quote moved because the house had a third story and two heavy tree runs, and the crew cleared a sag in the back gutter and left it clean before flushing. That one visit was priced from the stories, the size and the tree cover, and the owner saw the photos before the truck left. Pricing for the houses we see works the same way every 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 homeowners book twice a year, in the spring and fall. Across Georgia the spring visit lands in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit lands in late October to November, after the leaves come down. When we open a gutter in the spring we find seeds and seed casings packed in the elbows and a pollen paste sitting over the clog. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat that leads to rot in the fascia if it sits through the rainy months. Those spring and fall visits keep the rainwater moving and the gutters clear.
Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the run from filling. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, the gutters on our jobs need a visit every three to four months, because needles, a stray twig and grit pack the drain pipes between cleanings. With few or no trees over the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Homes with gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still gets cleared, because what sits on top of the guard still turns into a blockage. Our crew checks the run at each visit and leaves it clean.
Here is the calendar that works for most houses. The spring visit catches the seed and pollen. The fall visit catches the leaves before the tropical remnant storms that hit across Georgia. A gutter system that is kept clean along the roofline in both windows stays clear and does not sag. A gutter that skips the fall visit can pull loose or leak by the next spring, and that is the job we are called back to fix on other people's houses. Book the visits so the gutter is clear before the wet months, not after the water is already over the edge.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters and we will give you a written estimate and book the date. Our crew will walk you through the schedule before we leave the first time.
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 crew covers St. Simons GA from the nearest base and works the island through the year. We have kept gutters clean on homes across the island, and the calendar is most crowded in the two busy windows, spring and fall, when most homeowners book. Each St. Simons homeowner gets the same crew and the same photos on every visit. Book early in those months so you get the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. We also serve surrounding areas when the schedule allows, and most of our work is on residential properties.
Booking a St. Simons gutter cleaning visit starts with one call or one text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories, the rough size of the house and whether there are trees over the roof. A photo of the front of the house is easy to send and helps us see the layout. If you are looking for cleaning services in St. Simons, we will give you a price from those details, and the same number goes on the invoice. Every gutter cleaning service visit ends with photos on your phone. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date when you call.
Our crew keeps the work simple: cleaning of gutters and downspouts, debris removal, and photos sent to your phone. Keep your gutters clear between visits by checking them after heavy rainfall, and if they overflow, we want to hear about it so we can protect your home from water damage before it starts. The page for the other gutter services we provide in the area lists what we do and what we leave to others.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, plus what is in the gutters. Call or text us and we will give you a price from those details. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall windows. Across Georgia the spring visit lands in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit lands in late October to November, after the leaves come down. If the gutters wait past the fall visit, we find sagging runs and buildup by the next spring.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and we tell you honestly when the crew can come.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process happens outside only: the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and drain pipe go to your phone before the truck leaves. To get your gutters ready, leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every drain pipe is flushed and flow-tested so the water comes out clean at the outlet, and we check that water leaves there. Clearing a buried underground line is a separate job, and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need the surface cleared, because a guard does not replace gutter maintenance. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and that buildup can still block the water from getting in.
If the gutter is clean and still overflows, the problem is usually the slope or the size of the drain pipe, not the leaves. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The price we quote is the price on the invoice, and cleaning and maintenance are priced together. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell you and you agree before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
