Our own crew cleans gutters in Park, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and grit bagged and 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 roof, 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 on these roofs through every one of those seasons.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Gutter cleaning services in Park are priced from three things: stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. A quote comes over the phone or by text from those same three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Park homes and two-story houses are priced the same way. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but on our jobs the height of the roofline and the condition of the gutter matter more than the footage alone.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means a boom or scissor lift, and that changes the setup. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed with leaves and debris, with a clog at every elbow, and that takes longer than a light run. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on either end. Flushing the outlets, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. Once the trough is clean, the flow test shows whether water is leaving at the outlet. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice. Gutters left packed for years can also lead to rot and structural damage at the fascia and soffit.
On one recent job the house had two stories, mature tree cover on the back side and a rain gutter pulled loose at one corner, with a small leak at the joint. The crew found a sag in the middle run where buildup of leaves and grit had matted into a dense mat, water was running behind the fascia at the low end, which pointed to poor drainage and weak water flow, and two clogged downspouts had been overflowing onto the landscape beds. The quote covered the full job, the flush of every outlet and the check of where the water was going, and nothing was added at the end. Those are the kinds of findings that keep rainwater moving away from the foundation as it should, and that is what the visit is for.
| 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 twice a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Michigan the spring visit usually falls late May to June. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows and the first few feet of each drop pipe. Once the trough fills, rainwater runs over the front edge instead of down the pipe. In November it is a wet leaf mat that has been sitting since the leaves came down, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that sag under the weight of ice by the following March. Regular gutter cleaning twice a year keeps that from starting.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, our customers are on a schedule of cleanings every three to four months, because needles, twig pieces and grit pack the drop pipes between visits, and a blockage that starts in June can overflow before the next visit, especially when one heavy rainfall hits. On a lot with few or no trees, a single clean in late fall clears the leaves and debris for most houses. Gutter guards change the picture too, since guards cut the big stuff but do not stop what sits on top of them, so the surface still needs clearing on the same schedule.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutter and where the water went. Keep your gutters clean and on a schedule between visits, and treat gutter maintenance as a yearly check rather than a rescue. If you plan to clean your gutters yourself, the ladder is the risky part, which is why plenty of owners hand off the cleaning and maintenance to a crew.
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.
The crew works across Park MI from the nearest base, and no slot is tied to any one neighborhood. Each park gutter cleaning service starts with an estimate by phone or text, built from stories, size and tree cover, and any homeowner can start it with one call. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send, but it is not required. Lead time depends on the calendar at the moment you call, and we tell you the first open date when we talk. Our calendar fills in the late spring and the late fall, which are the two busy windows of the year, so booking early in those months keeps the date you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. Homeowners get the photo report on their phones before the truck leaves, so a homeowner at work all day loses nothing here. Clean gutters and downspouts protect your home from water damage at the foundation and in the soffit, and they keep water away from your home over time. The gutter cleaning process ends with photos on your phone, so you see the work before the balance is due. Our gutter services cover residential and commercial jobs the same way, so owners of residential properties and commercial properties get the same report. If you have other homes or buildings in the surrounding areas, we can quote them together so the crew comes out once. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your gutters on the calendar.
The number comes from stories and size, and we quote it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder. The number we give is the number on the invoice.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall. If the spring visit waits until after the seed drop is through, the drop pipes are already packed. If the fall visit waits past the first hard freeze, the wet leaf mat can turn into ice dams at the eave.
Our cleaning services in Park run on a calendar that fills up in the busy seasons. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. Lead time moves with the season, so the first open date is the one we give you on the phone.
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 downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out leaves, but a guarded gutter system still collects needles, seed casings and grit on top, and eventually they mat into a surface that water runs over. We lift the guards, clear what is underneath, flush the drop pipes and reseat them.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or drop pipe size rather than a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts any further work. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
