Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts across Indianapolis, and every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Debris is hauled off, and the ground is left clean. A clean trough means nothing if the water does not leave, so we check the flow too. You get photos of every run. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most indianapolis homes we clean book in spring and fall, and that schedule keeps water away from your home.
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 big it is, and what is sitting in the gutters. We give an estimate by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge for the whole gutter system. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we quote the whole job so you know the total before the crew arrives. That is what we mean by a clean quote.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, and gutters nobody has opened in years. Those carry compacted debris, and sometimes a clog that has been holding water behind it for a season. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat also add time before the trough is clean. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the number and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, we tell you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On indianapolis homes we have seen a sag in a back run hide a buildup that only showed up when we opened the trough. Once it was cleared and the water flow tested, the drainage on that side ran clean. For our regular gutter cleaning service, the homes that get on a set schedule rarely find that kind of damage. If you clean your gutters on a schedule, the clog never gets the chance to build. Residential and commercial properties both get the same check on every downspout, and we flush each one as part of the standard visit so the water leaves the roof and runs away.
| 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 Indianapolis customers book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the gutter and the elbows, even on a trough that was clean in the fall. In fall it is the leaves and debris, and across Indiana the first ice can form on the eave by winter. Runs that skipped the fall visit sag, pull loose or leak by March, and the fascia board behind them can rot.
Homes in indianapolis in the wettest months, May through July, see the overflow first. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is usually what we see between cleanings, because needles and grit pack the bottom of each drop. A single twig can jam a downspout elbow and start the overflow. Homes with few trees and a tidy landscape do fine with one cleaning a year in late fall. Homes near a busy road, or in surrounding areas with active construction, need the more frequent schedule too. Guarded gutters still get cleaned, less often, and the surface comes off clean.
Regular gutter services help keep rainwater moving off the roofline before it finds a blockage, and that is how we protect your home from water damage. To keep your gutters flowing between visits, the first visit tells us which tier your lot needs, so you are not guessing about the schedule.
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 cleans gutters across indianapolis and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. These cleaning services in indianapolis are booked by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. One call is enough for indianapolis homeowners: give us your stories, your home's size and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. That is enough to give you a quote on the spot, and we call before we come. A homeowner doesn't need to be home for the visit, but we do ask that the side gate is open.
The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early helps. If you have a slot that works, we can usually confirm a date without much back and forth. Heavy rainfall is a good time to call, because the overflow shows up quickly and a leak at a seam is often the first sign. We clean residential properties and commercial buildings alike, and the same crew handles the gutter cleaning process from the first call to the photos. Gutter maintenance is quoted the same way: one number, with no add-ons. Whether you need a single cleaning and maintenance visit or a regular schedule, the goal is to get your gutters moving water away from the house. Every visit ends with a clean sweep of the ground where the water comes out.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. If you wait longer, the fall leaves and debris can freeze into the gutters before the crew arrives, so an early booking helps you keep your gutters flowing and moving water away from the house.
When a slot is open we can, and most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water leaves at the outlet, so the run is clean at the bottom. Any clogged downspouts get worked from the top where they can be reached. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Guarded gutters need cleaning less often, but they do need it. Under the guards we usually find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top, and that mat keeps the water from getting in. We lift the guards, clear the surface, check the flow, and leave the trough clean.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge, the problem is slope or downspout size, not debris, and water that keeps spilling can cause structural damage to the fascia. Send us a photo or video of the rain gutter overflowing in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
It should not. Anything that changes the job, such as a bent section of the gutter system, is raised and agreed before work starts, so the invoice matches the quote. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
