Our own crew cleans gutters in Kokomo, 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 hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Indiana most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, and that is when we see the most clogged runs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what it takes.
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, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote 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 would rather you know the whole figure before the crew climbs. A gutter system on a two-story house takes more time than one on a single story, and the quote reflects that. Commercial properties are quoted the same way, from the stories and the roofline.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually plain. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted debris that has to be worked loose by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add minutes to every run. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the back run from packing up, and a light visit on a clean gutter is quicker than a catch-up. Gutters and downspouts get flushed and flow tested, the water flow is watched at the outlet, and debris removal and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Downspout drainage is checked at the outlet on every job. If anything changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Gutter cleaning services in Kokomo are where we spend most of our days, and the homes we see on the schedule are a mix of older and newer builds. On one back run with heavy tree cover, the buildup is usually thick, and the crew clears any clog at the downspout elbow before it can push water onto the foundation. Our crew prices from the stories and tree cover we can see from the drive, and that is the same way we quote every job. Most of the Kokomo homes we clean get the same plain check: the gutters first, then the downspouts, then the photos. Clean your gutters on a schedule that fits the lot, and the sag that starts with one neglected run never gets a chance to form. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the back run and we will quote it.
Residential and commercial work both start with the same question about what is in the gutters, and we answer it on site. Residential properties in Kokomo get the same flush and flow check as anywhere else on our route, and the crew photographs every run so you can see what came out.

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 Indiana, most of our customers book twice a year, in late May or June after the spring seeds and pollen drop, and again in late October or November after the last leaves come down. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seed casings and pollen paste that the rain has turned to mortar. In Kokomo in November it is the wet mat of leaves and debris, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag by March under the weight of ice. Heavy rainfall peaks in May, June and July, so a clean run matters most before summer. Under heavy tree cover we see rainwater backing up at the roofline between visits, and clogged elbows are usually the reason. Those lots are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the drain pipes before the next scheduled visit. A twig lodged in a downspout can stop a whole run, so we check the elbows on every visit, and a small clog caught early costs a few minutes. Once the run is clean, we check the slope and the outlet. A leak at a seam often shows up first as a stain on the ceiling, and a run that sags for years can lead to structural damage in the fascia. Few or no trees and once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards mean fewer visits, but the surface still has to be cleared. A rain gutter is only as good as the outlet below it, so good drainage at the outlet is the goal of every visit. Keep your gutters clear between visits, and a clean gutter helps protect your home from water damage. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs, and we put the next date in writing so there is no guessing about the blockage that builds up between cleanings.
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.
We clean across Kokomo from the nearest base, and the neighborhoods we clean most are the ones where tree cover and older roof lines are common. Every Kokomo homeowner with heavy tree cover gets the most visits, and the landscape around the house decides where the crew sets the ladders. Homes in the surrounding areas with gutter guards get the same flush and flow check when they are on the route. Our job is to keep the water away from your home, so the run gets cleared before anything else. Booking runs by phone or text. Give us the stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. Lead time is set by the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, fill first, so call early if you want to get your gutters done in a particular week. Booking for gutter maintenance works the same way, and the cleaning and maintenance visit is confirmed in writing. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you want the kokomo gutter cleaning process laid out before you commit, ask for the written estimate and we will send it along with the date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not put a range here because the house decides it.
Our customers here book late spring and late fall. If the fall visit gets skipped, we see the damage by the following March on houses that carry a heavy load of leaves and debris.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Ask about the calendar and we will tell you what is open.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Every homeowner gets the same photo set, whether or not they are home. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving at the outlet, and the outlet should run clean before the crew leaves. Debris removal is included in the quote. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and roof grit underneath it. The surface still has to be cleared, and gutter maintenance on a guarded roof is still a job for the crew, even though the visits come less often.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or capacity, not clogged downspouts or debris. Water left spilling over the edge for months can rot the fascia board, so send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
Not without your agreement. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it before they start. For commercial properties we handle the same frequency questions on a per-building basis, and our gutter services cover residential gutter cleaning for homeowners too. Gutter services across Kokomo follow the same rules, and the same photo set goes to the building owner. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate, and we will book your date.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
