Our own crew cleans gutters in Winder, GA, every run flushed and flow-tested, the leftover muck hauled away, and photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give you on the phone at (866) 435-6328 is the number on the invoice. Most of the homes we visit book in spring and fall, and we have been running that schedule on these streets for years. The goal is simple: keep your gutters clean long enough that the next heavy rainfall runs off where it should.
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 set it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we work from the house as a whole. Our gutter cleaning process starts with those same three things, so every homeowner knows the number before a ladder goes up. We want every estimate to be a clean number, not a starting point.
On our jobs the things that move the price are consistent. A third story or a steep pitch that cannot be walked takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with a solid buildup that has to be worked loose by hand, and a house left alone that long takes longer to get clean. Lifting and reseating gutter guards adds time on both ends of the visit. We flush every downspout and check the water flow at the outlet, and the haul-off is included in the price, never billed as an extra. Anything that changes the job, such as a seam that has started to leak, is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we see on these houses. A two-story home with a plain layout and no overhead trees is the simplest visit we run. A larger lot with heavy tree cover needs more passes and more flushing, and that shows in the estimate before we arrive. Our customers in those cases get the same photos of every run as everyone else, and they know the number going in. Our cleaning and maintenance visits are priced the same way across the board. If you want a number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many trees hang over it; that is usually enough to give you a clean, firm figure on the phone.
| 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 local customers book twice a year. Across Georgia the spring visit falls in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from November to early December, after the last leaves are down. The spring job is mostly seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows on Georgia lawns and yards. The fall job is the full load of leaves and debris along the roofline, and on houses that skipped it we open runs in late winter that have sagged or pulled loose under the weight of the wet mat that sat all season, sometimes with structural damage and rot in the fascia behind them. A clean fall visit makes the spring job shorter.
Under heavy tree cover, next to a landscape bed, or near a construction site where grit blows in, we see gutters fill faster than a twice-a-year schedule can handle. Winder gets 52.6 inches of rain a year, and March, June and August are the wettest months, so a rain gutter that is already partly full overflows fastest in those stretches. A twig or a wad of seeds lodged at a downspout can start a blockage that becomes clogged downspouts within a single storm, and the water backs up and spills over the front edge instead of carrying water away from the house. Needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, so those lots are on a cycle of every three to four months. On that schedule, regular gutter cleaning keeps buildup from settling at the elbow. A house with few or no trees usually needs one visit a year in late fall, and houses with guards still need the surface cleared, just less often than an open gutter.
Our calendar fills fastest in those two windows across Winder. If you are not sure which tier your gutter system needs, we will tell you after the first visit once we have seen what actually comes out of the gutters and where the water is going. A clean first visit tells us a lot. After a stretch of heavy rainfall, a blockage at the elbow is often the first thing we find, and that is when a call is worth making. Ask us for a booking date and we will confirm the crew window when you call.
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 gutter cleaning service covers Winder GA and the surrounding areas, run from the nearest base. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text, tell us your stories and roughly how much of the house sits under trees, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We give you a firm number and a date window. Our firm price for Winder homes is the same whether the house is a small ranch or a two-story on a wooded lot.
Lead time changes with the season. Our busy windows are the spring and fall stretches described above, when slots fill first, so calling early in those months helps. For Winder homeowners, regular gutter cleaning is easier to plan around than a rush job, so get your gutters on the calendar before the spring and fall rush. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The same crew handles residential and commercial properties through our gutter cleaning service, but this page is about homes, and our residential crews keep to the schedule they confirm when you call. Homes here get the same careful routine. If you want a date that works for your household, tell us when the gutters last came down and we will plan a clean visit around it. Debris removal is part of the price, not an add-on.
For a two-story house here, the number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. There is no fixed figure we can give without those details, but the estimate we give is the price you pay.
Our local customers usually book in mid to late April and again in November to early December. Across Georgia, waiting past the leaves in winter can let runs sag or pull loose from the fascia, and booking on that schedule protects the home from water damage better than waiting for the first freeze.
Same-day slots depend on the week, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we will tell you the first clean window we have. Booking early helps you protect your home from water damage.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and we send photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we check the gutters and downspouts, flush every downspout, and check the water flow where water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we give you a separate estimate for it before anyone touches it.
Yes, gutter guards still need the surface cleared. A guard that looks clean from the ground can still hold a mat of needles and seed casings from the trees overhead, and on our jobs we find grit packed underneath it too, so the guard cuts down on gutter maintenance but does not end it.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, outlet size or a blockage further down the run. A gutter's job is to carry rainwater away from your home, so send us a photo or short video taken during rain and we will tell you the real cause. A slope problem is not fixed by another cleaning.
No, the number you agreed to is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
