Our own crew cleans gutters here, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled away, and the yard left clean, with 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 customers book in spring and fall, and we keep those visits on the calendar before the busy weeks fill up.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our 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 give is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services often price by the linear foot and land in a similar place per foot of run, but a single number tied to the house is easier to check before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our Jackson homes the things that move the price are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with leaves and debris packed into the trough, and the crew spends the extra time clearing it so the gutter comes out clean and drainage and water flow are restored. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. 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.
Here is what we have seen on local homes. One customer had a two-story house with heavy leaves and grit in the back run, and the crew found a clog at the first elbow of the run that had been overflowing at the rear corner. The fix was a flush and a flow check, and the gutter came out clean without any further work. Another house with a long run of gutter sat low enough to show a sag, which we reported in writing rather than selling a repair. When we see clogged downspouts, we flush every downspout and check that the gutters carry water away from your home. Our commercial properties are priced per building, and the same approach applies: count the stories, measure the run and clear what is packed in and leave the trough clean before we move on.
| 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.
Most of our customers book regular gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seed casings, pollen paste and the odd twig packed into the elbows. In fall it is a wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that have pulled loose, sagged by late winter, or fascia boards starting to rot. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months keeps the gutters clean and water moving, because needles and grit pack the outlets and a clog can form between visits. Few or no trees and once a year in late fall is usually enough. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs, and we note any rainwater problem or blockage on the roofline in our photos.
If you are scheduling for next season, a gutter cleaning service estimate by phone or text now lets us hold a slot before the spring and fall calendars fill. Regular cleaning and maintenance is what matters: cleanings on that schedule keep the trough clean and the water moving, and the same timing works for residential properties. For the most part, gutter maintenance follows the leaves and the seeds, not the calendar date, so a house with heavy tree cover overhead will need more visits than a house in the open.
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.

Our crew cleans gutters for residential and commercial customers across Jackson, in several neighborhoods where we have done regular work. The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote from our crew: call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we price it from stories, size and tree cover. A clean photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those windows helps. Our gutter services cover Jackson MI and the surrounding areas, and Jackson gutter cleaning is booked the same way. Jackson homeowners get the same approach as every other homeowner, whether the house sits in the middle of town or out past the edge. We work to protect your home from water damage by clearing gutters and downspouts before a leak or the next storm reaches the house. If you want to keep your gutters clean on a steady schedule, we can set the next two visits when you book the first one, and that is the easiest way to get your gutters on track.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not give a figure without knowing those two things, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will come back with a number before anything is booked.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. If the fall visit gets skipped, we often find sagging or loose runs by the next spring. A written estimate from us will help you get your gutters on the right schedule for your house.
Our cleaning services in Jackson usually have openings within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service, because the crew builds the calendar around the rainy weeks.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the landscape as it was found, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet is flushed and watched until it runs clear. If a line runs underground, we check that water is leaving at the outlet, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we quote before we touch it.
Yes. Gutter guards keep leaves out, but needles, seeds and grit settle on top and turn into a paste that stops water from getting in. Cleaning and maintenance on a guarded system means we clear what sits on the guard, flush the outlets and reseat the panels so the gutter stays clean.
A rain gutter system that is clean and still spills over in heavy rainfall has a slope or capacity problem, not a buildup problem. Left alone, that water can lead to rot and structural damage. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
