Our own crew cleans gutters in Fulton, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. 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 Fulton customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we open the most gutters on the slate.
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 in the gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Per-linear-foot pricing lands in a similar place, but it is not how we quote a house.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted muck, and guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
A gutter that has sat for years often has a clog low in the run that has been holding water behind it. Left that way, the water can cause structural damage and fascia rot. We find the sag, the buildup and the blockage at the elbow, and we flush each downspout until the water runs clean at the bottom. On many Fulton homes the fix is a clean run that restores water flow, not a repair, and we say so when we see it.
Fulton homeowners come from every part of town. On one Fulton job last spring, a two-story house with heavy tree cover had two runs packed with seeds and leaves and the rain gutter sagging at the back run. The quote moved because the crew had to lift the guard to reach the clogged downspout, and the work was done in one visit with photos sent to the owner before we left. See the case for that job.
If you want Fulton gutter cleaning that takes the leaves and debris away, not just pushes them down the wall, ask for a quote from stories and size. Commercial properties are quoted per building, and we keep the same rule there: the number we give is the number we charge, and water away from your home is the point of the job.
| 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 Fulton customers book twice a year, in spring and fall. In spring we open gutters that are full of seeds, pollen paste and the first green growth. In fall, after the last leaves, the wet mat is what sits in the trough. Missing either visit is how a rainwater blockage starts behind the fascia.
In Fulton MO the wettest months are April, May and June, and the snow comes in January through March and December. When we open a gutter here in May we find the seed casings packed into the elbows, and when we open one in November we find the leaf mat two inches deep. That is the roofline working against the gutter, and heavy rainfall is when it shows. That is also why the estimate we give depends on what we see at the first visit.
For most houses two cleanings a year covers it, and that is the core of our gutter maintenance plan. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, plan on every three to four months, because seeds and leaves pack each downspout between visits. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Residential properties follow the same rule of thumb, and commercial buildings are scheduled per building.
Schedule a regular gutter cleaning when the seasons turn, and clean your gutters before the rain season sets in. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a gutter cleaning service date that fits the calendar.
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 offers cleaning services in Fulton and the surrounding areas, and we cover Fulton without needing a special trip. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Every homeowner gets the photos before we leave.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the leaf drop hit at once. Book early for those months, and call early to get your gutters on the calendar. Lead time is confirmed when you call, and we do not promise a slot we cannot hold. The gutter cleaning process stays the same on every visit: the gutters come out clean, the downspouts get flushed, the debris goes in the truck, and the photos go to your phone.
If your gutters have had a leak or a clog for a while, or a twig has jammed a downspout, tell us when you call so the crew brings the right ladders and equipment. Our job is to keep your gutters and downspouts clean so the water goes away from your home and off the landscape beds. A clean run helps protect your home from water damage, and it keeps the gutter services on your house predictable from one visit to the next.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. It is the same number we charge when the crew finishes. The cleaning and maintenance visits are quoted the same way.
Across Missouri the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed drop, and in Fulton the fall visit is late October to November, after the last leaves. Wait past those and we find the leaf mat packed and the runs sagging by the time the first freeze comes.
We cannot promise same-day slots, so we confirm a date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep the leaves out, but the seeds, needles and grit sit on top and the water runs off the front edge. We clean what sits on the guard and reseat it.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris 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.
Only if the job changes, and you hear it before work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the number before the ladder goes up.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
