Our own crew cleans gutters in New Albany, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have run this work across Indiana every spring and fall, and most of our New Albany customers book in those same two windows.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for gutter cleaning services in New Albany depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We work out an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the price we give is the price we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but on our jobs the house itself decides it more than the footage does.
What moves the number on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well above the ground, gutters nobody has opened in years, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear anything underneath. A rain gutter that has gone years without a clean takes longer, and the quote says so. Debris removal, downspout flushing and flow testing are included on every gutter system we take on, and none of it is billed as an extra. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
A clog, or a blockage, at the bend of a downspout, often a twig or a packed wad of leaves, is one of the usual reasons water runs over the edge, and a run that has started to sag can point to structural damage or rot behind the fascia. We flag both before we set the price. On New Albany homes the heaviest work tends to come from places where the gutters have gone a long stretch without a visit, so the buildup is packed and the clogged downspouts need a longer flush. Shaded lots and older runs both take longer than open ones. Commercial properties follow the same logic: the number is set by the building, its height and what is in the drains. Our homeowner visits and our commercial visits are priced separately, and you get the breakdown before anyone climbs.
If you want the number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what it looks like from the ground. Water away from your home is the point of the whole job, and good drainage at the outlet, with steady water flow, is what the number is written around. A seam that has started to leak gets photographed and reported to you once the run is clean. Keeping the outlet clean is the goal of every visit.
| 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.
Regular gutter cleaning in New Albany usually means two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and the fall visit finds the leaves and debris that sit wet in the trough all winter. The same schedule works for residential and commercial buildings. When to clean your gutters is a simple question here, and on our jobs the answer is spring and fall.
On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have opened runs in early spring that had sagged or pulled loose from the fascia under the weight of ice. That is the freeze that makes fall the visit to keep here, and it is what we check first when we come up the ladder in November. Water that cannot drain in a freeze backs up under the shingles and forms ice dams at the eave, and a clean gutter in fall means that water has somewhere to go.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the gutters refill faster, so those homes are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A home with few or no trees over the roof does well on one visit a year in late fall. Homes with guards still need the surface kept clean, and that visit is usually shorter than an open run. Guards do not end cleaning and maintenance, they only change it.
Heavy rainfall in March, April and May is when a packed gutter shows its problem first, because the rainwater has nowhere to go but over the edge. Some of our New Albany customers have no trees and book once a year, while others have trees over the roofline and book every three to four months; both sets are cleaned the same way, just on different calendars. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and you can book the next date right then or call later. Set the next visit to fit your lot, and a small clog stays a small job.
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 offers cleaning services in New Albany from the nearest base, and each gutter cleaning service call starts with a photo. We do not need a special visit to see a house, just the front of it in a photo and the three things that set the price: stories, size and tree cover. New Albany homeowners usually hear back the same day from a text with that photo, and a landscape with trees close to the eaves is priced on the same three things.
Booking is by phone or text, and every gutter cleaning process we run is scheduled the same way at every address. We give you the number before we set a date, and we call before we come, so nobody has to be home. Our crew books New Albany in spring and fall, which are the busy windows, when most homeowners think about gutters at the same time and the calendar fills up in those weeks. Book early in those months if you want to get your gutters done on a date you pick, and tell us about any deadline you have. The earlier you book, the better your odds of a date you like, and a clean gutter before the spring rain.
We clean residential properties and commercial buildings across New Albany and in the surrounding areas as well, and we do the same work at every site: the leaves and debris come out, we flush every downspout, and the photos come to your phone. Gutter cleaning is most of what we do, and our gutter services keep your gutters and downspouts working through the rainy season. Keeping gutters clean is how we protect your home from water damage. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you when the next opening is, or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a quote.
A two-story house is quoted from its stories, its size and its tree cover, and we give you that number by phone or text before anything is booked. The price covers debris removal, downspout flushing and flow testing, with no add-on fees on the invoice.
Most homes stay ahead of the freeze with the gutters clean by late spring and again by late fall. Skip the fall visit and the freeze can leave a sagging run or a clog in the downspout by March, so that is the visit we push hardest.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day gutter cleaning service depends on an opening that day, so we do not promise it.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the flow at the outlet, leaving it clean before we go. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it. Debris goes into bags and leaves with the truck, away from your home.
Yes. Gutter guards keep most of the leaves out, but seed casings, needles and grit still get through and settle on top of the guard. Once that surface is clean and the downspouts flush, the water gets in, and that is the gutter maintenance a guarded system still needs.
A clean gutter that still overflows in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not debris. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem. If a run has pulled loose from the fascia, or the fascia behind it has started to rot, that is structural damage, and we will say so.
The price is the price we gave you. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, and that is the only way the number moves. Our gutter cleaning process works the same way on residential and commercial jobs alike, and we clean every run before we leave.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
