Our own crew cleans gutters in Dodge City, 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. Across Kansas, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep the same routine on every house. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 in the gutters. Dodge City homeowners get an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge, a clean, firm number with nothing added later. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once you do the math, but the number you hear from us is one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. After heavy rainfall, a run full of wet leaves weighs more, and a loose seam or a blockage at the elbow can start to leak, so expect a longer visit. A twig wedged in an elbow is a small job once we are on the ladder, but it still has to be found. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off, which carries the mess away from your home, are included, and the downspouts come out running clean. Nothing is billed as an extra. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Dodge City, the houses that come to us with a gutter maintenance history tend to take less time. Among the cleaning services in Dodge City we book, the homes already on a schedule are the lightest visits. The homeowner who books regular cleanings and keeps the runs clean between visits spends less on the visit because the crew is clearing a light load, not chipping out a year of buildup. That is the simplest way we know to hold the number down: cleaning and maintenance on a steady schedule, not a rescue every few years. Get your gutters on a schedule and the quote tends to stay where it was.
Send us a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy to take, and tell us the stories and the rough square footage. That is how the gutter cleaning process starts, and it is usually enough to give you a firm number without anyone climbing up first. If we need to see the back run or a steep section, we say so before we quote.
| 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 Dodge City, KS customers book twice a year. Across Kansas, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs late October to November, after the last leaves come down. On our jobs, the spring visit is mostly seeds, twigs, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and a freshly mulched landscape adds grit to that load. The fall visit is the load of leaves and debris, and it is the one that matters most because the gutter system has to be clear before the first cold snap, so the system starts winter clean. Getting a clean gutter line into winter is the goal.
Freeze risk here means the fall visit is also the one that prevents ice dams at the eave. When we open a gutter here after a winter that was not cleaned out, we find runs that sag under the weight of ice by March, and a lot of them trace back to a house that skipped the fall visit. Where the trough stays full, that ice causes structural damage and rot in the fascia and soffit. Clean gutters keep water flow and drainage moving at the eave and carry water away from the roofline, so rainwater never sits under the shingles.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, we see the gutter pack up faster. Needles, grit and dust build in the runs and clog downspouts between visits, so those houses go every three to four months. A rain gutter full of wet needles stops draining the first time it rains hard. A house with few or no trees usually does fine once a year in late fall. Guards mean fewer leaves reach the trough, but we still clear the surface, so guarded gutters get cleaned less often without going unchecked, and we still flush the clogged downspouts.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what came out of the runs and how clean they were when we opened them.
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 gutter cleaning service works across Dodge City, KS and the surrounding areas, and the call goes to the same people every time. Booking is simple: you give us the stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and we send a quote by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 to start, or text a photo of the house front, which helps us size the job if it is easy to take.
Lead time for our gutter cleaning services depends on our calendar at the moment you call, and we will tell you the first open day when we talk. The two busy windows are the spring visit, late May to June across Kansas, and the fall visit, late October to November, when most of our Dodge City homes are booking at the same time, so the sooner you call during those months, the better your chance at the day you want, and the sooner we can clean your gutters. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
We offer gutter services for residential properties and commercial properties, and the crew keeps the two schedules separate. For homes we keep a consistent route, so the same people are on your gutters each visit and they know how your house drains. Ask for regular gutter cleaning on the same cadence each year, and we will keep your gutters on that schedule and hold a slot for you. Commercial properties are booked on their own calendar. Debris removal is part of every clean visit, and if you need a one-off visit after a storm, call and we will check what we can offer.
The number comes from stories and size, so we give it to you by phone or text once we know those, and the quote is what you pay.
Across Kansas, the spring visit lands in late May to June, and the fall visit for Dodge City homes falls in late October to November. If you wait past the fall visit, a clog at the downspout elbow can turn into ice dams and sagging brackets by March.
It depends on the calendar that day. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Ladder stand-offs protect your home from scrapes on the siding.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet and running clean, since gutters and downspouts only work as a system. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. Under guards in Dodge City we find fluff, seeds and needles threaded through, plus seed casings on top and grit underneath, and the surface still needs clearing so water flow gets in.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge is usually a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage. Send us a photo in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and you agree to it first. Keeping your gutters clean on a schedule is one way to protect your home from water damage, and it costs less than rebuilding a fascia.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
