Our crew cleans gutters in Genoa Township, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled off, 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 hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been on these jobs through both seasons, leaving every run clean.
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 by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your number. Genoa Township homes vary in height and pitch, and the price follows the house. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but our gutter cleaning services quote the whole house once rather than adding up footage. Our quotes are written for residential properties. If you are asking about commercial properties, ask before you book, and we will tell you whether we can price it.
For homeowners here, the things that move the number are consistent. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run well above the ground, so the effective height of the roofline is higher than the front suggests. Gutters that nobody has opened in years hold a buildup of leaves and debris that takes more time to clear, and guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of what comes out are included and never billed as extras. Clogged downspouts get flushed from the top and checked at the outlet for drainage, until the water comes out clean. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our work here has taught us where the trouble usually starts. On one recent job the homeowner had a two-story house with a full run of leaves packed behind a sag in the front gutter, and the rain was pouring over the edge rather than out the downspout. The clog had been building for a while, and the water flow at the corner had been running into the fascia. Left alone, that kind of sag can lead to structural damage in the fascia and soffit. We cleared the whole run, and on every job we flush every downspout until it runs clean at the bottom, then photographed each section before we left. Whether your house is like that or not, the number comes from what we see when we are on the ladder, and we tell you what it is before we start. Ask us to text you a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a number from it.

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 Michigan the spring window runs late May to June. Here, the fall window runs October to early November. Most of our customers book twice a year, once after the spring seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves are down in the fall. When we open a gutter here in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and a clog that forms there is the first thing to clear. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and where the house skipped the fall visit, the runs have often sagged or pulled loose by March. Our crew treats the rain gutter as part of the rainwater path, so we look at the whole route from the roofline to the ground, because the job is to carry water away from the house.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees hanging over the house, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits and the blockage builds faster than a seasonal schedule can keep up with. On that schedule, regular gutter cleaning keeps heavy rainfall moving through the system. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough on most lots. Gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still needs a clean. When we clean your gutters we check every seam and hanger, and if something is failing we photograph it and put it in the report, never sell you a fix on the ladder.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the runs and how much leaves and grit came off the house. Here, May, June and August are the wettest months, so the runs carry the most water then. Ask for a gutter cleaning service estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, and we will schedule your first visit against it so your runs are clean before the first storm.
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 covers Genoa Township MI and surrounding areas from our nearest base, and the neighborhoods we have cleaned in are the ones listed on this page as our recent work. Homeowners start with a quote by phone or text, based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us to book a date, and call early to get your gutters on the calendar. The calendar fills in two busy windows each year, one in late spring and one in late fall, so booking early in those months gets you a better slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
If you need gutter services outside the regular cycle, say after a storm that left a lot of limbs and twig in the gutters, tell us when you call and we will check the calendar against that. Heavy rainfall can push that mess into a downspout and cause a leak at the joint, so flag it early. We keep the schedule tight so each visit gets the full flush of every downspout and ends with clean runs and photos of every run. For residential customers across the area, the goal is to protect your home from water damage. The way to keep your gutters and downspouts moving is a steady visit schedule, which matters more than a single deep clean. Our cleanings follow the same routine, cleaning and maintenance included, and debris removal is part of every visit.
If you have gutter guards, the visit still clears what sits on top of them, and we lift them, clean underneath, and reseat them. If a building is part residential and commercial, ask before you book, and we will tell you whether we can quote it. Genoa Township gutter cleaning is planned around the calendar, so tell us if you want a regular schedule.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range here because the number depends on what is in your gutters and how the house is built. Tell us the stories, the square footage and whether the big trees are over the roof, and we will give you one number.
Across Michigan the spring window runs late May to June. In Genoa Township the fall window runs October to early November. Most of our customers book in those windows, in late May or June after the spring seed drop, and again in late October or early November after the leaves are down. If the fall visit is skipped, we find sagging runs and ice-loaded gutters by the following March. Late spring and late fall are when a clean gutter pays off most.
Our crew books cleaning services in Genoa Township, and most slots come up within the week. Visits run across Genoa Township from one shared calendar, so we confirm the exact date when you call. If you need a visit sooner after a storm, tell us when you book and we will check the calendar for an opening.
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. Leave the side gate unlocked, move any landscape furniture off the ladder path, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout with water and watch it until it runs clean at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and running away from your home, and we tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs attention. Leaves stop at the guard, but needles, seed casings, winged seeds and grit get through and mat on top, and once that is wet, rain runs off the front edge. Guards cut the work, but they are no substitute for gutter maintenance, and a run that stays wet can rot the fascia behind it. We lift the panels, clean underneath and flush each downspout.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than a clog. 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. The price we quote is the price on the invoice, and that holds through the whole gutter cleaning process. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about 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.
