Our own crew cleans gutters in Hammond, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of 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 the invoice. Most customers book in the spring and fall, and the same crew does the ladder work on every visit. Call (866) 435-6328 today and we will leave the yard as clean as we found it.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutter system. We give the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. A two-story house with a steep pitch costs more to clean than a single-story ranch with clear runs. A rain gutter full of leaves and debris is the easy job; one packed with wet mat and seed casings takes longer. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of gutter, but the stories and the pitch do more to the crew's time than the length does.
What moves the number on our jobs is what the crew actually finds. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down with a buildup of compacted muck, sag between the brackets, and clog at the elbow. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A clean run with a good slope is the quick end of the range. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are part of the job and are never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Hammond jobs the quote follows the same pattern. Hammond homes with clogged downspouts at the back run and leaves packed into the valleys come in higher than a one-story with clean runs, and we say so on the phone. Once the crew has walked the stories and the tree cover, the number on the phone is the number on the invoice. A sag at a joint or a run pulling off the fascia can mean structural damage or rot behind the board, and that gets flagged to you, not fixed on the spot.
Companies that offer gutter cleaning services price differently from us, and the difference is mostly in the setup. Our crews handle residential and commercial work alike, but a commercial building takes scheduling around business hours, a lift on a lot that may be busy, and a route that covers every run in one pass. We do commercial properties on a per-building basis, and the same rules apply: the quote is the price, and the crew tells you before the ladder goes up if the building is bigger or harder than the phone call suggested. The aim on every job, residential or commercial, is drainage that moves rainwater off the roof and keeps water away from your home and out of the wall. Good water flow out of every downspout, with no pooling at the foundation, tells you the system is doing its job.
| 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.
A homeowner here usually books spring and fall, twice a year, and the timing follows the weather. Across Indiana the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and in Hammond the fall visit lands in late October to November, after the last leaves come down. On the spring visit we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows where a clog starts, and pollen paste sitting on the bottom of the trough. The fall visit is the leaf load along the roofline, and houses that skipped it show runs that sag or pull loose by the time the snow is off the ground in March.
Hammond in winter is the reason the fall visit is the one customers keep. Snow falls from December through March, about 28 inches a year, and when we open a gutter in January or February after a fall we did not see, the first thing we find is ice at the eave and water backing up under the first course of shingles, sometimes with a leak through the ceiling below. Hammond gets about 40 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are May, June and August, when heavy rainfall leaves rainwater standing in whatever is left in the trough.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the right schedule, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, and a twig or seed casing turns into a blockage faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. Residential properties with few or no trees on the lot are fine once a year in late fall, and that is the regular gutter cleaning most homes need.
Guards are a different case. A guarded gutter needs less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs to be cleared, because the mat that sits on top of the guard holds water once it is wet, and rain runs over it and off the front edge instead of going in. We clear the surface, check that water is getting into the run, and flush the outlets on the same visit. A clean trough under the guard is the goal, not just a tidy top, and guards change where the muck sits without replacing debris removal.
After the first gutter cleaning service visit we tell you which of those schedules your lot actually needs, and that estimate rests on what the crew finds in the gutter system and at the outlets, not on a guess from the street. You get the photos and a short note on each run, so you can see the result yourself. For residential and commercial buildings alike, if you want to clean your gutters twice a year, book both cleanings at once and we keep the notes on file.
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 Hammond and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, so a call on a Monday usually gets a slot inside the next few weeks. Booking our Hammond gutter cleaning starts with a gutter cleaning service estimate over the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We ask for stories, rough square footage and whether trees are over the roof, because a twig in an outlet is one of the usual ways a blockage starts. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. The lead time depends on the season, and across Indiana the spring window runs late May through June, while in Hammond the fall window is late October through November, when the calendar fills fastest.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The homeowner usually books the cleanings once and then keeps the same schedule, so the crew knows the house before the next call. We clean gutters and downspouts on every run, and we flush every downspout to the outlet so water is leaving the house the way it should; that keeps water away from your home and helps protect your home from water damage. If the crew sees a leak at a joint, you get a photo and a note with any repair quoted separately, so tell the crew at the quote if you have gutter guards or want to keep your gutters clear between visits. Every visit ends with a clean yard and the photos on your phone. Call now to get your gutters on the calendar.
Gutter services for commercial buildings follow the same booking process, scheduled around the building's hours and the people who work in it. The quote is the same kind of number, and we confirm the date with the property contact before the crew is dispatched. Gutter cleaning works the same way for residential properties, and the cleaning services in Hammond come with the same photos, whatever the building.
The gutter cleaning process starts with a number built from the stories and the square footage, and we give it by phone or text. Nothing comes from a rate card, so ask for the figure with those two details and we quote it on the call, the same way for every one of our cleaning services in Hammond.
Across Indiana the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Hammond the fall visit lands in late October to November, which matters most for homes here. Snow is the reason: the first hard freeze comes in winter, and on houses that skip the fall visit we see ice at the eave, runs that pull loose by March, and rot behind the fascia. Heavy rainfall in May, June and August fills whatever is left in the trough, so the spring visit clears what the winter left behind.
No, you do not need to be home for gutter maintenance. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. The gutter cleaning process runs the same whether or not anyone is home. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the yard is left clean when the crew goes.
No. Guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often, and a clean guard can still hide a full trough. Across Hammond, under guards on our jobs we find a mat of seeds, pollen and roof grit sitting on top and packed into the trough under the mesh. When that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge, so we clear the surface, flush the outlets and check that water is getting in.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check where it drains, including the underground lines where we can see the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it, so you know the cost before the crew starts. Checking the drainage is part of every visit, and it shows whether the whole gutter system is moving water away from your home.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what the problem is. A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, and we say so rather than sell a second cleaning. Gutter maintenance fixes debris, not slope.
Yes. The price 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. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters booked.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
