Our own crew cleans gutters in Newport, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the 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 is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Kentucky, spring and fall are when most of our customers book.
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. Newport homeowners get the quote over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, and we are glad to walk through that comparison with you. Nothing about the quote is a guess, and we keep the process clean: one number, agreed before the ladders go up. To get your gutters quoted, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more care. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run, so it sits higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted buildup that has to be dug out by hand, and a twig or clog at the elbow can stop the drainage right where the run should empty. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time, even when the rest of the run comes out clean. Cleaning gutters and downspouts and flow testing are included and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
A run that has been kept clean is a quick visit. A house nobody has opened in a few years shows it at the ladder: the back run is usually full of seed casings and pollen paste, and a downspout packed to the elbow takes longer than the front. Most of the time the difference between a quick visit and a longer one is simply how long since the gutters were last opened. Our cleaning services in Newport start with the photo, so text one of the front of the house if that is easy, and we will tell you what to expect from there.
A gutter system that stays clean on a regular schedule is quicker and more predictable for us to work on, and it is easier to keep the water moving away from your home. Gutter maintenance on that schedule keeps the gutter cleaning process short, and regular cleaning and maintenance keeps the bill steady from one visit to the next. The landscape around the foundation decides where the water goes once it leaves the downspout, so we look at both. For a homeowner in Newport, that is the most useful thing a quote can do: tell you what the next visit will look like.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $165 | from $215 | from $280 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $190 | from $250 | from $325 |
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.
Across Kentucky, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Here in Newport, the fall visit in late October to November is the one that matters most, once the last leaves and debris are down. Newport gets about 43.4 inches of precipitation a year, with May, June and July the wettest months, so when we open a gutter in late May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. A full gutter during heavy rainfall is a problem long before it looks like one, because the rainwater has nowhere to go but over the edge. Snow adds to the load: about 16 inches a year falls from December through March, and freezing water in a full trough is how runs start to sag.
Under heavy tree cover, plan on cleanings every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the gutters between visits and each flush gets harder. A leak at a seam or a clog at the outlet is often the first sign, and it is cheaper to clean sooner. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to clean your gutters and keep the rain gutter flowing. Guards change the pace a little, since they stop the big debris, but the surface still needs to be cleared and the water flow checked.
Across Newport, the pattern that shows up most is the same: the clogged downspouts are the first thing to give out, and the water starts running where it should not. A regular visit helps protect your home from water damage and keeps the water away from the foundation. Clean gutters also save you from structural damage and rot that start small and get expensive. Keep your gutters on a schedule that fits your trees, and call (866) 435-6328 to book a date; we will look at your gutters and roof on the first visit and tell you which schedule your lot actually needs.
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 cleans gutters on Newport homes, and we take work in the surrounding areas when the schedule allows. Booking a gutter cleaning service with us runs by phone or text: you tell us the stories, the rough size of the house and whether there is tree cover over the roof, and we give you a quote before anyone is scheduled. A clean quote starts with those three things, so nothing is guessed. Debris removal is part of every job, so hauling is never a separate line on the invoice. If a photo of the house front is easy to send, that helps us size the job faster.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, late spring and late fall, so if you want a particular week, call early. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will confirm a date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside.
For residential and commercial customers, the same crew handles both kinds of building. Residential properties and commercial properties in Newport KY each get their own record, so the history of the building is on a clean file before we arrive. Regular gutter cleaning is easier to plan when we have that history, so tell us what was done last time and when. Ask for a written estimate with the date we would be out, and we will hold that time until you confirm.
Our gutter cleaning services in Newport, KY are quoted from stories and size, and the number comes to you over the phone or by text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story house with a steep back run is a different job from one with a low, open roof.
Across Kentucky, spring visits run late May to June. In Newport, the fall visit in late October to November is the one we plan around. Skip it, and the wet leaves and first freeze are what we find on the next spring visit, and the runs that sagged are harder to fix than the clean ones were to keep.
We do not promise a same-day visit we cannot keep. Call (866) 435-6328 and we confirm a date on the call. If your gutters are overflowing right now, say so first so we can see what we can move.
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 that it drains at the outlet, and a blockage found there is cheaper to clear than water in the basement. Those checks are part of our gutter services. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it, so you know what it costs before work starts.
On our jobs, yes. Needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard and turn to paste, and the water stops going in. We lift the guards, clear what is underneath, and reseat them over a clean trough.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is, and agree on the change before we do any more work. The number you were quoted is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
