Our own crew cleans gutters for local homeowners, every run is flushed and flow-tested, and the leaves are bagged and hauled off. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been working those visits on local homes for years.
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 your gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we price the whole house so you know the total before we arrive.
On our jobs, a few things move the number. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk takes more time on the ladder or the lift. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid with old leaves and grit, and clogged downspouts take longer to flush, so guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the gutter cleaning service and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here in Grandville, the homes we see most often have the same problems: a clog at the elbow, sag in the middle of a run, and buildup at the outlet where the gutter empties. That blockage stops the drainage. When water flow stalls during heavy rainfall, it spills over the front edge and runs back toward the foundation, and that is how structural damage starts, with rot at the fascia and staining on the siding. The homes we clean every spring and fall rarely get that far. We also do gutter cleaning services for commercial properties, but for residential properties the work is the same: clear the leaves and debris, flush the clogs, and check that the rain gutter is carrying water away from your home. The price covers all of it.
| 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.
Clean your gutters twice a year, and many of our customers do: across Michigan the spring visit runs late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves. In spring we open a gutter and find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbow, which is the first place a clog starts, and the rainwater behind it has nowhere to go. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by March. Our snow season runs from January through April and again in November and December, so the fall cleaning matters.
Two cleanings a year covers most lots, but a landscape with heavy tree cover needs regular gutter cleaning every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits, and a single twig at the elbow is enough to stop a run. Keeping up with that is the core of gutter maintenance. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Some customers add a spring visit anyway. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, and we will give you a written estimate for each visit. Ask for a date when you call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what to expect.
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 Grandville from the nearest base, and we cover the surrounding areas on the same schedule. Grandville gutter cleaning follows the same routine on every house, and the gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Lead time depends on the week, so ask when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so those are the weeks to book early. We book residential and commercial jobs on the same calendar.
Homeowners here get the same care whether the job is a small single-story roof or a larger two-story house. We clean gutters and downspouts on the same visit, check that water is leaving at the outlet, and photograph each run. When a gutter still overflows after a clean, we tell you whether it is a leak at a joint or a slope problem, and help you keep your gutters working between visits. Our work keeps water moving away from the house, which is how we protect your home from water damage. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text a photo of the roofline to start. Our gutter services are built around that same routine, so the process stays the same from one visit to the next.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details. Once we have them, the price is the price we charge on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, we find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter, especially in a freeze year. Book a date now to get your gutters clear before April through June, the wettest months here, when heavy rainfall tests every run.
We offer cleaning services in Grandville on short notice, but same-day slots depend on the week, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week during the busy seasons, and we let you know the first open date.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets indoors while the ladders are up, and we send photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves.
We flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. If a buried line needs clearing, we price that separately and do not touch it until you approve the price.
Yes, on our jobs gutter guards still collect needles and grit on top of the guard, so we clear the surface and check the water flow underneath. The job is shorter than cleaning an open gutter, but it is still cleaning and maintenance, and we leave a clean surface behind.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, it is a slope or downspout-size problem rather than debris, and a clean run will not fix that. Send us a photo or short video in the rain, and we tell you what it is without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we call you before we start and agree on it first. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
