Our own crew cleans gutters here, and every run gets flushed and checked for water flow before we leave. Everything comes off the property, and you get photos of every run. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover sits over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been booked in Somerset every spring and fall, and most of our customers come to us in those two windows.
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. For Somerset homes, we give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place, but per-foot pricing rarely reflects a steep pitch or a second story, which is where most of the extra time goes.
What moves a quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the back run, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted buildup, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clean underneath. We flush every downspout and check the drainage at the outlet, and flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included every time and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, the homes with the most work are the older ones with clogged downspouts, and often a clog in the first elbow, where years of leaves and debris have turned into a sag in the run. Those are the jobs where a clog has already started to cause structural damage to the fascia behind the gutter, and the pipe above it is usually where the trouble started. When we open a run and find standing water or a leak at a joint, we flush it, photograph it and tell you what we saw, so you can decide how to move water away from your home.
| 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.
Most of our customers book regular gutter cleaning twice a year. Across Kentucky, the spring visit falls in late May to June. The fall visit lands in late October or November, after the last leaves come down. For a home in Somerset KY, spring and fall are the two windows that matter. In spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the weight by the next March.
Under heavy tree cover, the kind of roof where big trees hang over the eave, our customers are on a three to four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the outlets faster than a twice-yearly visit can keep up with. A home with few or no trees usually needs one visit a year in late fall. Guards mean less frequent cleanings, but the surface still needs clearing. Heavy rainfall in March, May and June, the wettest months here, pushes more of that grit into the troughs, and the rainwater running down the upper slope carries enough of it to build a blockage between visits.
Ice matters here too. Kentucky winters bring snow in January, February, March and December, and the first freeze can lock a clogged run into an ice dam at the eave. A fall cleaning clears the path before that happens, and the debris removal is finished before the crew leaves. Plan a visit before the first freeze and clean your gutters before the snow sets in. After the first visit we tell you which tier 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.
On our jobs we have worked for homeowners across the neighborhoods with the most mature trees and the older rain gutter systems, and the crew reaches the surrounding areas from our nearest base. Booking for our gutter services starts with a phone call or a text. Tell us the number of stories, the rough square footage and whether big trees hang over the roofline, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We will give you the price from those three things, and a date when we confirm the slot.
Lead time changes with the season. Our Somerset gutter cleaning calendar fills in late spring and again in late fall, so if you want a particular week, book early. The process is the same at every house. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside.
We clean for the homeowner who wants to protect their home from water damage, and for property managers who keep a list of addresses. Our crew handles residential and commercial work, so the same photo report comes with every job, whether it is one of the residential properties or one of the commercial properties on a manager's list. Whatever brings you to us, the goal is the same: keep your gutters clean, move water away from the foundation, and keep the fascia sound through the next storm.
The number comes from the stories and size of the house, plus what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters and we will quote it on the spot. The number we quote is the number on the invoice, so you can get your gutters done without guessing.
Across Kentucky the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October or November. Good gutter maintenance means both visits. Waiting past the fall visit is where we see sagging runs by March, especially on houses that froze before the work got done.
Same-day slots are not guaranteed for cleaning services in Somerset. Most open slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. If you need a faster visit, ask us when you book.
No. Our gutter cleaning process is outside only: the crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, move any landscape items away from the ladder path, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, the gutters and downspouts both get checked, each one gets flushed and flow-tested, and we check where the water exits. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before we touch it. Water that leaves at the wrong spot for years can rot the fascia, so we point it out either way.
Yes. On our jobs under guards, we usually find a surface mat of needles, twig bits, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and water running over the front edge instead of in. We clean the surface and reseat the guards, so the gutter system drains the way it should.
A clean gutter that still overflows has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video during heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, because cleaning and maintenance cannot fix a pitch that is wrong.
It should not. Our gutter services across Somerset are quoted the same way on every job. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after. Call (866) 435-6328 if you want the number confirmed before the visit.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
