Our own crew cleans gutters, flushes and flow-tests every run, hauls the leaves away, and takes photos of each section before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, when seed drop and falling leaves have done the most damage. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front and we will tell you what your gutters need before we clean a single run.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on most homes the stories and the buildup decide the number, not the footage. Gutter cleaning services for residential properties and commercial properties are priced from the same three numbers.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care up high. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters that nobody has opened in years hold compacted muck that takes longer to clean out, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. We flush every downspout, flow test it and haul off what comes out, and that is included in every gutter cleaning service we quote, never billed as an extra. If anything changes the job, we tell you before work starts, never on the invoice.
The houses we clean in brooklyn park homes tend to show the same pattern: the gutter fills with leaves and debris in the fall and seed casings in spring, and the first sign is water spilling over the edge of the rain gutter instead of out the downspout. When we open the trough we often find clogged downspouts at the elbow and a sag where the hangers have loosened, which is why we check the drainage on every run and not just the ones you can see from the driveway. Where the water flow is slow at the bottom, we flush from the top and watch the outlet until it runs clear. Once the clog is cleared, the water away from your home is what protects the foundation from structural damage, so we check that too.
| 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, in spring and fall, to clean your gutters before the weather turns. Across Minnesota, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from October to early November, after the last leaves are down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows where the pipe turns. In fall it is the leaf load, and then the first ice at the eave. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag and pull loose by March under the weight of ice, which is why the fall visit matters more here than it does in warmer cities.
The schedule shifts with the lot. Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and a clog can start in weeks. Near a busy road or a construction site the dust does the same thing. Homes with few or no trees on the property do fine with one clean a year in late fall. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still gets cleared, because the needles and seed casings sit on top of the guard and the water never gets in. Heavy rainfall in May, June and July tests the gutters hardest, so regular gutter cleaning matters most in early summer.
A blockage that goes unchecked between visits tends to show first at the roofline: a line of rainwater running down the siding, a stain on the soffit, or a gutter that is full to the top after a rain. Those are the signs we are looking for at each visit. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your Brooklyn Park MN lot actually needs, and we put the reasons in the report so you can see them for yourself.
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.
On our Brooklyn Park gutter cleaning jobs we have worked across many neighborhoods, and we can tell you which ones once you call. We serve surrounding areas too, and the quote works the same on every street. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text: tell us your stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof and drop twig litter, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. Homeowners get the same three questions, because every quote depends on the same three numbers. Debris removal is part of every visit. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills and slots are harder to find. Residential and commercial jobs share one calendar, so the two busy windows fill up together. If you want a spring or fall date, call early to get your gutters on the schedule. Outside those windows, we can usually fit one of our gutter services in sooner. We will give you a date when you call, not a guess.
We aim to keep your gutters working through the rainy months, not just to clean them once. Regular cleanings mean the water keeps moving, the pipes stay clear and you do not find out about a leak from a wet basement wall, and it helps protect your home from water damage. If you have questions about your gutters, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through what we would check first.
Our cleaning services in Brooklyn Park are priced from your stories, your home's size and what is in the gutters, and we give the number by phone or text. The number we quote is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are included in the cleaning and maintenance visit.
Across Minnesota, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit runs from October to early November, after the leaves are down. If the fall visit is skipped, we often find runs that have sagged under ice by March.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day visits depend on the calendar that week, so ask when you book.
No. The gutter cleaning process is all outside, and the crew does not come inside. We send 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, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and we check the outlet and where the water runs across the landscape. If the water is not leaving through an underground line, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, but less often. Guards are part of the gutter system and cut down on gutter maintenance, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top and turn to paste, so we clean the surface and check that water gets in before it can rot the fascia.
A clean gutter that still spills over the edge in rain usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. 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.
It should not. If something changes the job, we tell you and you agree to it before the crew starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
