Our own crew cleans gutters in Uxbridge, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, 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 overhead, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Uxbridge customers book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and leaf fall have finished.
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. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is worked out, but a per-foot rate hides the things that actually take time on a roof.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk is the biggest change. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot with tight landscape beds raises the effective height of the roofline, and that means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A gutter system nobody has opened in years arrives packed with compacted buildup and leaves and debris that take longer to clean out. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent visit to one of our Uxbridge homes, we found a two-story house with a heavy leaf mat in the back run and a downspout that had not drained in a long time. The work was left clean, flushed and checked for flow, and the number on the phone held. The rain gutter tells us what the job is once we are up there, and we tell you before we start if it is different from what we quoted.
For a city like this, a gutter clog is usually a buildup problem rather than a slope problem, and the drainage tests tell us which one we are dealing with. We clean your gutters to the point where water flow is clear, and we say so in writing. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the cost of each visit lower than waiting until the trough is full. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential properties and commercial properties, and residential and commercial jobs are priced the same way: per visit, from what we find.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $225 | from $295 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $260 | from $335 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $235 | from $305 | from $395 |
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 Uxbridge customers book twice a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in late May or June, a trough that looks clean often hides a clog. Seed and pollen paste packs the elbows of clogged downspouts, the kind of rainwater blockage that backs water up under the roofline and starts a leak on the first heavy rainfall. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and a house that skips the fall visit can carry that mat into a freeze, where the trapped water begins to rot the fascia board. A visit in each window helps protect your home from water damage.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule our crew sees work, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. On every visit we flush every downspout and clean out the elbows, not just the ones that look full. Near a busy road or a construction site, the same frequency applies. With few or no trees overhead, once a year in late fall is enough for most homes. Guarded gutters need less frequent gutter maintenance, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because seed casings and grit mat on top of the guard and stop water from getting in.
Before you estimate a schedule, we need to see the gutters and downspouts and the drainage at the foot of the downspouts. If the water is not leaving clean at the outlet, or the downspout is not sending water away from your home, we flag it. The estimate we give a homeowner after the first visit says which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing so you can plan a clean schedule and keep your gutters clear all year.
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 works across Uxbridge MA and the surrounding areas, and drives in from the nearest base to cover it. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a quote from the number of stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our cleanings are priced per visit, and lead time changes with the season, so we confirm a date when we talk to you rather than promising a slot we cannot keep. Anything beyond cleaning is one of our gutter services and is quoted separately. The gutter cleaning process starts with one call and a clean, written quote you can check before the crew arrives.
The busiest windows are late May through June and late October through November, when the spring seed drop and the autumn leaf fall both land at once. Booking early in those windows locks in uxbridge gutter cleaning dates, and cleaning and maintenance visits fill up fastest then too. If a gutter is already overflowing when you call, tell us that first, because it changes what we check when we arrive. A twig wedged under the gutter guards is the usual reason a clean-looking run still overflows, so the crew lifts the guards and checks underneath, not just the trough. The quickest way to get your gutters done is to call before the busy window opens. Outside those windows, the calendar is usually clean and a visit comes sooner.
The cost for a two-story house comes from stories and size, and our cleaning services in Uxbridge are quoted by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before we book, so you know the number before the crew is on the way.
Late May or June and late October or November are the months most Uxbridge homeowners book. If you wait past the fall leaf drop in a freeze-prone area like ours, the first ice can already be in the eave, so the fall visit is the one to keep.
When a slot is open, we can often come within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. We work outside and do not come inside, and we send photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. We flush every downspout, check the flow at the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving clean, including where the downspout feeds an underground line. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Guarded gutters still need cleaning. On our jobs we find seed keys, leaves, needles and the odd twig sitting on top of the gutter guards and packed under them, which stops water from getting in even when the gutter system looks clean.
If the gutters still overflow after we leave, send us a clip of it during a rain. A gutter system that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, and if the fascia is already showing rot or structural damage, we will say so and tell you what it is rather than book you another visit.
No. Nothing gets added after the call. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
