Our own crew cleans gutters in Wichita, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Each run is left clean at the outlet. The price comes from the stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been doing this work on houses like these every spring and fall, and most of our homeowners book those two visits each year.
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. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and 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 full figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Ask for an estimate on the phone and plan around it, whether you want to clean your gutters once a year or twice.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift and the job takes longer. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave line, so the back run sits farther up than it looks. Gutters that nobody has opened in years hold compacted debris that has to be dug out by hand, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most of the clog problems we see in Wichita homes are not the leaves on top. They are the buildup in the elbows and the blockage a few feet down the downspout, the way clogged downspouts usually start, where water flow stops and the run starts to sag. Clearing that is part of a regular gutter cleaning, which is why we flush every run and check drainage at the outlet instead of just scooping the trough. The goal is a clean run from the top to the outlet.
On a recent job the house had two stories, moderate tree cover and a gutter that was pulling away from the fascia at one corner, which the crew reported in the photo set without repairing. That visit covered the full run, every downspout and the haul-off in one stop. Text us a photo of the front of your house and we can tell you what we will be looking at before we give you a number. If you want to keep your gutters working through the seasons, the spring and fall visits do most of the work.
Residential and commercial jobs both start with the same question: how much water has to leave the house, and how fast. For residential properties that comes down to the stories and the trees, and for commercial properties it is the footprint and the number of drains. Either way, the quote is given up front and that number holds on the invoice.
| 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 customers in Wichita KS book twice a year. Across Kansas the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop; here we book the fall visit in late October to November, after the last leaves are down. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In November it is the wet leaves and debris that cause trouble, and every fall we find the first ice forming at the eave. Water backing up along the roofline is the early warning, before any rot shows on the fascia. On houses that skipped the fall visit we often see the runs sagging by March, pulled loose under the weight of ice, and a loose run is where structural damage starts. Book after the spring drop and the trough comes out clean.
The answer to when to clean your gutters depends on the trees around the house. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction where grit collects, the gutter needs attention every three to four months. Needles and grit pack the downspout between visits, and a gutter that looks clear from the driveway can still be backed up at the bottom. With few or no trees over the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the gutters clean and the rainwater moving. Gutter guards change the schedule a little, since the crew still has to clear the surface and check that water gets in, but the visits do not disappear. A single clog in one elbow can back up a whole rain gutter run even when the trough looks clean, and heavy rainfall is when a blocked run shows itself, usually as water spilling over the front edge.
On our jobs we open the gutter, clear the blockage, flush every downspout and look at the flow at the outlet, then leave the trough clean. That same check tells us whether the home is set up to protect your home from water damage at the eave, and whether the gutters and downspouts are doing the job they were installed for. A clear gutter system carries water away from your home, which is the whole point of the check. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the photos on your phone so you can see what we saw.
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 crews cover the surrounding areas across wichita and dispatch from the nearest base, without tying a visit to one neighborhood. Our gutter services start with a quote by phone or text. We ask for the number of stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest. Call early and you can get your gutters on the calendar before the next opening fills.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for an exterior cleaning. Most wichita homeowners who keep to a schedule see fewer surprises, since the twig and debris load stays manageable between cleanings. If you want a wichita gutter cleaning slot in a busy stretch, book early, because the cleaning services in wichita fill fastest in spring and fall. Gutter maintenance done on time also means less of the leak work that comes from a run that has been overflowing for a season. Cleaning and maintenance on a set schedule is the easier route for most households.
When a job runs long, the crew reports the reason on the spot and sends the photos afterward. Our gutter cleaning process follows the same order on every visit so you know what to expect, and we keep the visit short by planning the lift, the access and the landscape beds before the truck arrives. We leave the work area clean. If you have a question about your own house, call (866) 435-6328 and the person who answers will tell you what the crew will need.
Our cleaning services in Wichita are quoted from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before anything is scheduled. There is no guessing on our side, and the price you hear is the amount on your bill.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Waiting past the spring visit means the seeds and pollen have had time to pack the elbows, and waiting past the fall visit means the leaves and debris are wet and matted when the freeze arrives. Booking both visits keeps the runs clean from spring to freeze.
Most slots come up within the week across Wichita, and we confirm a date when you call. Ask about the next opening when you reach us, since availability changes with the season.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Before the truck pulls away, the crew leaves the yard clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and watched until it runs clean at the bottom. Clogged downspouts are where most of the trouble starts, so the crew checks the drainage at the outlet and confirms water is not pooling in the landscape beds. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before touching it.
On our jobs, guarded gutters still collect tree seeds, fluff, needles and grit on top of the guard, and the wet mat can shed water over the front edge. The crew clears the surface, checks the flow and reseats the guards, leaving the gutter clean underneath.
If a clean rain gutter still spills water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or capacity in the gutter system rather than debris. Water that keeps spilling over the edge can rot the fascia behind it, so send us a photo or a short video taken during the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and approve it before work starts. For questions about your own house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to the same number and we will reply with what we see.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
