Our crew cleans gutters for homeowners, flushing every downspout, testing the flow, hauling the debris away, and sending you photos of every run, clean and clear, before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. The crew handles homes of every size, and most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when our calendar fills. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a price.
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 in the gutters. Every homeowner gets a price over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that sell gutter cleaning services by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and the state of the gutter usually decide the number. Residential and commercial properties get the same phone quote on that basis.
What moves the price on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot in the landscape raises the effective height of the house. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavy with compacted buildup, and a sagging run can lead to fascia rot and structural damage. Clogged downspouts can take longer to clear, and leaves and debris on a roof add time before the crew even starts. A rain gutter with guards to lift and reseat adds time to the job. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Biddeford homes the price shifts most with tree cover over the roof. One customer had a two-story house with heavy leaf load and the crew found a sag at the back run that needed a flush to confirm the water flow; the price was raised before we started and the job was finished the same day. Keeping the outlets clean is what moves water away from your home, so we check the drainage there first. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and the size, and we will price it on the phone.
| 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.
For a Biddeford ME house, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and the fall visit runs October to early November. Across Maine the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and that is when you want to clean your gutters before the summer. In spring we find the seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows and the pollen paste sitting in the trough. Debris removal comes with every visit. In fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see the first ice, ice dams at the eave, and runs that sag or pull loose by March.
Under heavy tree cover we see the clog build between visits, so those lots are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets before the next scheduled cleaning. Residential properties with few or no trees need one clean a year in late fall, the regular gutter cleaning that keeps them flowing, and so do residential and commercial roofs under open sky. Biddeford gets about 50.7 inches of precipitation a year, with April, October and December the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a blocked run shows first. Near a busy road or construction, the gutter fills faster and the rainwater backs up sooner. Across Maine, nor'easters dump wet snow and rain in the same storm, and the water has to leave through the outlets. Guards mean less frequent gutter maintenance, but the surface still needs clearing. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we will flag any blockage we see at the roofline in the photos. Your estimate for the next visit comes by phone or text.
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 has worked across Biddeford and the surrounding areas, and Biddeford gutter cleaning runs from the nearest base to cover the whole city. Every homeowner starts with a call or text about the stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We confirm the date when you call, and our calendar fills in the two busy windows of spring and fall, so book early if you want a slot in those months. We call before we come, nobody needs to be home for the visit, and we clean the gutter line and every run before we leave.
Our cleanings keep your gutters clear and your foundation dry, and our gutter services flush every downspout so the gutters and downspouts carry the water away from the house. If your house has gutter guards, the crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and reseats them. Our goal is to protect your home from water damage before it starts, not after the first leak shows up. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a price and a date.
Our cleaning services in Biddeford are priced from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We give the number by phone or text, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book the fall visit for October to early November, and across Maine the spring visit lands in mid to late June. Waiting past the first hard freeze means the ice and the sag show up before we get there, so plan your cleaning and maintenance visits around both.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Ask us what is open and we will get your gutters on the calendar.
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 run and check the drainage at the outlet until the water comes out clean, even where the landscape slopes toward the foundation. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we price it before we touch it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still collects leaves and debris on top of the guard. Under the guard we often find seed casings, needles and the odd twig packed into the trough, so the surface still gets cleared and needs gutter maintenance.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over in rain has a slope or outlet problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
