Our own crew cleans gutters in Nicholasville, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess 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 sits over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall, and we are glad to quote from the instant estimator above or a quick call.
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, how much square footage it covers 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 gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once you run the numbers, but the figure you hear from us is a single number for the whole job.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with leaves, grit and the odd twig, and guards we have to lift and reseat before anything else happens. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the number and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
A clog that has sat in a run for a season tends to hold more leaves and grit than the top layer suggests. We lift the buildup out by hand, then flush each run so we can see where the water flow stops. Where a clog sits deep in a downspout, we clear it from both ends. In a few cases the leaves and grit have built up enough to sag a run or cause a blockage at the outlet, and we photograph that and note it in the report rather than selling anything on the spot.
Our experience with homes in this part of town is that the same few things show up again and again. Nicholasville homeowners with older trees overhead come up with the heaviest buildup. A clogged run is the usual cause of water pooling near the foundation, and that is the first sign we check. Keeping water away from your home is the reason we do this at all, and a clean rain gutter that flows is far cheaper than the structural damage that follows when it does not.
We do not do commercial gutter repair or install commercial properties' gutters as a service; when something needs that kind of work, the crew photographs it and reports it to you. Commercial properties are on a separate schedule, and we also do residential properties on a regular rhythm for any homeowner who wants us on that schedule. Ask for a quote by phone or text and we will tell you what the job looks like before we start.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |

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.
On our jobs in Nicholasville KY most customers book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Each visit finds something different. In spring we see seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and by the time the first ice comes, any run that skipped the fall visit tends to show sagging by March.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a three to four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees overhead, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards change the schedule a little; we still clear the surface even when the guards are on, but the visits can run less often. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough along the roofline is what tightens the schedule.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you know when to clean your gutters again. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the date.
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 services run across Nicholasville and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and the Nicholasville gutter cleaning route follows the neighborhoods where we clean most often. Our routes cover residential and commercial properties, each on its own schedule. Booking a cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text, and our gutter cleaning process begins with a few questions about stories, the size of the house and tree cover. A photo of the house front is helpful if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our calendar fills up in two busy windows each year, one in late spring and one in late fall, so calling early helps. Lead time is confirmed when you call. Once the date is set, we keep it. If a gutter still overflows or shows a leak after a clean, tell us and we will look at it the same way we look at every job. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the gutters, and we will book a date to get your gutters cleaned.
The point of all this is to protect your home from water damage and keep the drainage moving where it should go. Booking regular cleanings with us is the simplest way to keep your gutters and downspouts working through heavy rainfall, and our crew handles the cleaning and maintenance from start to finish.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Nothing gets added after our crew is on the ladder.
Our customers here most often book in late spring and late fall. Waiting past the fall visit means the leaf load sits through the first freeze, and that is when we see runs sag by March.
Our cleaning services in Nicholasville mostly book within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day unless the crew actually has an opening that day.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs the surface cleared, so gutter maintenance gets shorter rather than going away. On our jobs we find leaves, seed balls and seed casings sitting on top of the guards, with wet grit underneath, and debris blown in from the landscape settles there too.
Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain. A clean gutter that still overflows usually has a slope or downspout size problem, and we tell you what it is rather than selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If something we find changes the job, we call you and agree on it before work starts, so the number on the invoice matches the number you were quoted.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
