Our own crew cleans gutters across town. The crew flushes and flow-tests each run, the leaves are hauled away, and you get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Homeowners here usually book in spring and again in fall, when the seeds and leaves have come down.
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, how large it is 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. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a number per foot does not tell you how hard your house is to reach.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk changes how we set up. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above the ground, and that means a longer, slower set-up. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted sludge and the odd twig, and clogged downspouts that have sat through a winter take more time to clear. Gutters left full for years can also hide structural damage, which we photograph and report rather than fix on the spot. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras, and the debris goes with the truck. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
A clog at the elbow is the usual reason a run starts to sag, and water that cannot leave the trough finds its way behind the fascia. Buildup at the elbows is what slows drainage most, so we check the elbows first. Chubbuck homes with a lot of tree cover tend to need more time in the gutters than the same house with an open yard, and we measure that on the phone, not after the truck is parked. We want the number to hold, so we ask about the stories and the trees first.
| 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.
Across Idaho, spring visits usually land in late May to June, once the seeds and pollen have finished dropping. Locally, the fall visit falls October to early November, after the last leaves come down and before the first freeze. Most customers book both spring and fall, since spring clears the seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows and fall clears the leaf load before winter.
When a rain gutter sits full through winter, a blockage leaves the water nowhere to go, and the rainwater backs up behind the roofline. Freezing weather is a real risk here, so the trapped water can freeze solid in the pipe and stop the water flow. Chubbuck's wettest months are April, May and June, which means a run clogged in spring has to handle heavy rainfall. A full run finds every seam, and a leak at a seam is usually the first sign. On houses that skip the fall visit, a run left full through winter tends to sag by March. Under heavy tree cover, cleaning more often than twice a year is common, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be cleared.
We give Chubbuck ID homes a real estimate of their schedule after the first visit, based on what we actually find in the gutters. A regular gutter cleaning schedule keeps the whole gutter system draining and keeps water away from your home, and we will tell you which tier your lot needs once we have been up there. Ready to clean your gutters? Book with us by phone at (866) 435-6328 and we will set the date.
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 works across Chubbuck, and every visit follows the same routine. Booking a Chubbuck gutter cleaning is simple. As a homeowner, you call or text us, tell us your stories, the approximate size of the house and whether trees hang over it, and send a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. From there we give you a phone quote and set a date. We offer cleaning services in Chubbuck, and the busiest months fill first, so call early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works outside the house and does not come inside. Our crew takes residential and commercial jobs, and gutter services for residential properties follow the same routine as the work for commercial properties. Regular cleanings keep the runs draining, and the crew leaves every run clean and sends the photos. If your gutters are overflowing now, tell us when you call, because that changes which slot we offer first. Lead times depend on the season, and we confirm the date when you book rather than promise a time we cannot keep.
We also serve the surrounding areas, and the crew will flush every downspout and take photos on every visit. To keep your gutters clear is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage. Checking gutters and downspouts each season costs far less than the repairs that come after overflow.
The gutter cleaning service price comes from how many stories the house has, how large it is and how much leaves and debris are in the gutters. We give you that number by phone or text, and it is the number on the invoice. Flushing and haul-off are included.
Most customers book a spring visit and a fall visit. Across Idaho, spring usually lands late May to June, and the fall visit falls October to early November, before the first freeze. A clog left through winter lets ice build up at the eave and can sag the runs by March.
Same-day slots depend on the calendar. We confirm a date when you call at (866) 435-6328, and we tell you the first open slot.
No. The gutter cleaning process runs outside the house: our crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush each pipe with water and watch it until it runs clean. Where a pipe feeds an underground line, we check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes, usually less often, but the surface still needs clearing. Under heavy tree cover, needles, seed casings and grit work through the gutter guards and sit on top. Once that mat is wet, the water runs off the front edge instead of into the trough, and that water can rot the fascia. On a lot with a busy landscape the mat builds faster, and lifting the guards to clear the gutter system is part of our gutter maintenance.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows during heavy rainfall has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Clean gutters move water away from your home, and we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Before you get your gutters cleaned with us, you hear the full number by phone. If we find something that changes the job, we tell you and you agree to it before the crew starts. Nothing is added on the invoice that was not discussed first, and cleaning and maintenance are priced as one job.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
