Our own crew cleans gutters in Lemay, every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of each 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been booked here every spring and fall, so most of our Lemay customers are already on the calendar before the first leaves drop.
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 how much leaves and debris is sitting in the gutters. Our gutter cleaning services for Lemay homes are quoted by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the job is measured, though it rarely shows the full picture on a two-story house with a steep back run.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift rather than a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the gutter line. Gutters that have not been opened in years hold a compacted gutter buildup that takes longer to clear, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, water flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. A clean gutter run is the goal on every visit, and if something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our Lemay jobs. One customer in a neighborhood with a mature canopy had gutters packed with leaves and grit, a clog at one elbow, and clogged downspouts pushing water back toward the fascia. Our crew flushed every line, cleared the blockage and sent photos of the whole run. Another had a sag in one section holding standing water, which can lead to structural damage if it goes unchecked, so we flagged it in the report rather than selling a repair. Both calls were made from the same three facts: stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the front of the house sent by text.
Our gutter services also cover the commercial properties around town on a per-building schedule, and the same rule applies there: the number we quote is the number we bill. For homeowners, the first step is simply to tell us what you can see from the driveway, and we take it from there.
| 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 Lemay MO customers book twice a year: spring, which across Missouri runs from late May to June after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late October to November after the last leaves. When we open a gutter in the spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows, which is why the spring and fall visits follow the same routine. We book residential and commercial work on the same calendar. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under ice by March.
A roofline under heavy tree cover needs a visit every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A landscape with heavy tree cover drops more of the same, so plan on the shorter schedule. A rain gutter that looks fine from the ground can hide a twig or a blockage at the elbow, and rainwater backs up before anyone sees it. Near a busy road or active construction, the grit load is heavier, and the same schedule applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Plan to clean your gutters on that schedule, not when they overflow. Guarded gutters need less frequent work, but the surface still needs to be clean.
Here is how we see the tiers. Twice a year covers most houses. Heavy canopy or a dusty location moves residential properties to every three to four months. A lot with almost no trees is on a once-a-year schedule. Gutter guards change the work but not the need for a visit. Each tier is booked as a gutter cleaning service with a set date. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put that in writing on the estimate so there is no guessing about the next date.
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 gutter services reach homes across Lemay and the surrounding areas from our nearest base, and the neighborhoods we work most are the ones where the homes sit under mature trees and the gutters are hard to see from the street. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Every homeowner books the same way, and most slots fill in two busy windows: late spring and early fall, when everyone with a clog remembers at the same time. Lemay gutter cleaning books fastest in those windows, so book early and you get the date you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside. On every visit we flush every downspout and send the photos before the truck leaves. If you want to keep your gutters clear between cleanings, text us a photo of the gutters and downspouts after heavy rainfall, and we will tell you whether a leak needs a visit or just a loose hanger. Regular gutter cleaning keeps water away from your home and helps protect your home from water damage, so the rain goes where it should. To book, call (866) 435-6328.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before the crew arrives. Flushing and haul-off are already in that number.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait, the spring seed load and the fall leaf mat are both harder to clear, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see sagging runs by March. Keeping up with gutter maintenance in those two windows means fewer surprises, and standing water in the trough can start rot in the fascia.
Same-day depends on the week, so most of our cleaning services come up within the week and we confirm the date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open date.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, 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, and the gutters come out clean.
Yes. Flushing and flow testing are part of our gutter cleaning process, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before touching it.
Yes. A guard is an add-on to the gutter system, so it still needs cleaning and maintenance. Pollen, seed casings and grit sit on top and mat down, and water runs off the front edge. We clear the surface and check the flow under the guard.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, and cleaning it again will not fix that. After heavy rainfall, send us a short video and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell another cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. To get your gutters on the calendar, text a photo of the house front and we will confirm the number before the visit.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
