Our own crew provides gutter cleaning services in Speedway. Every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, leaves and seed 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 the invoice. Most of our customers here book spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves are the heaviest on the gutters.
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 gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Homeowners here get the same written number whether the rain gutter is light or packed. A clean gutter with no clogs is the quick end of the range. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run of gutter, but for our gutter cleaning services the whole house is what the crew has to climb and clear.
What moves the quote is usually what the crew finds once they are up the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more safety setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted debris, and a clog that long needs more hands and more passes. A run that has started to sag holds water and slows the drainage at the outlet. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends of the job. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Speedway homes under tree cover tend to come in with leaves and debris packed into the trough and the elbows, and the first pass is usually just getting the water flow moving again. A clog at the first elbow of a downspout can back water up behind the fascia for a season, and a small leak at the joint above it is the kind of thing the crew checks for on every run. Clogged downspouts like that are the buildup that becomes structural damage if it sits. When a run has to be opened twice to get it moving, that is the one part of the quote that changes; the rest of the house is as quoted on the phone. Commercial properties get the same kind of check, but that is a different schedule and a different quote, and we do not mix the two.
| 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.
Homeowners here usually book spring and fall, twice a year: late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter along the roofline in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and if the house is in a freeze risk area we are also looking for the first ice and the dams it starts at the eave. Our fall visit usually lands in late October to November. On houses that skip the fall visit, a run can sag or pull loose before spring, which is why the fall visit matters more than it looks.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see work, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits and a single season can be enough to start a blockage. Any gutter that is already packed overflows fast once heavy rainfall hits in May, June and July. A house with few or no trees and a simple landscape usually does well with regular gutter cleaning once a year in late fall. Guards change the rhythm a little: they hold the big leaves back, but the fine grit still sits on top, so those houses get cleared less often and the surface still gets cleared on every visit.
Here is how the schedule breaks down. A house with no trees over it can usually wait for the late fall visit, with very little buildup in between. A house under heavy trees is better on the three to four month schedule, so the downspout gets cleared before the rain season. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you know when to have us clean your gutters again, based on what the crew sees in the gutters, not on a general rule.
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 Speedway in Indiana and covers the city as a whole. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with your stories, your home's size, how much tree cover is over the house, and whether you have gutter guards, and a photo of the front of the house is helpful if it is easy to send. Every Speedway gutter cleaning booking gets the same written quote we give over the phone. We book a date when you call, and we call again before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the work. The calendar fills in two busy windows each year, late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call, the sooner we can get your gutters on the schedule. We book residential and commercial jobs on separate calendars, so tell us which one it is when you call.
We clean gutters and downspouts, and we send photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Our crew leaves each run clean and checked before the truck pulls away. If a gutter is overflowing again after we have been out, call us and we will look at it, and where the trouble is the slope or a downspout that is too small for the house, we will say so. Gutter problems in surrounding areas usually trace back to the same tree cover and heavy rainfall. Keeping water away from your home and the foundation helps protect your home from water damage, and a clear trough is how the rainwater goes where it is supposed to.
Between visits, a quick look from the ground can keep your gutters clear of twig and seed, and our cleaning and maintenance visits settle the rest. Residential properties under heavy trees get the most attention from our gutter services in the fall.
Our cleanings are priced from the stories and the size of the house, plus how much tree cover is over it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Our customers here book spring and fall. If the gutters wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat can start the fascia board to rot, and on houses in freeze areas the ice dams start at the eave. Regular gutter maintenance on that schedule keeps the buildup from turning into a repair, and those are the months we see the most buildup.
Every cleaning we book gets a confirmed date when you call, and most slots come up within the week during the busy windows. We do not promise same-day unless we have an opening that day.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process happens entirely outside, the crew does not come inside, and the crew 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. The crew leaves the ground clean.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water flow out the bottom. If a line drains underground, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop the big leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top of the gutter system and can mat into the trough. We clean the surface, lift the guards where needed and check that water is actually getting in.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. A homeowner whose gutter is clean and still overflows usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a clogging problem, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for that.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice. The usual causes are a steeper pitch than the photo showed or gutters packed worse than described on the phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
