Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Marshall, 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 is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been doing this work for spring and fall visits across Missouri, and most of our Marshall customers book the spring visit after the seed 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 what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is multiplied out, but the gutter cleaning services we run are quoted per house.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline at the back of the house. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with compacted leaves and debris, and a clog that long makes the crew spend more time per run. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. 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.
We see this across marshall homes and the commercial properties we service, and the pattern holds. A rain gutter that has been sitting full all season is a different job from one we opened last spring, especially once it starts to sag. Clogged downspouts that have been sending water down the wall for a year, or a leak at a seam, are the jobs that find structural damage behind the fascia, and we photograph it and report it rather than repair it. What we are paid to do is get the water away from your home and the foundation, keep the drainage moving and keep the water flow steady through the drains, and the quote reflects how much work that takes on the house in front of us.
If you want a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will give you a written estimate from the stories, size and tree cover and tell you what the crew will find when they get on the ladder.
| 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 |

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 in marshall mo book two cleanings a year. Across Missouri, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop finishes, and the fall visit usually lands in late October or November, after the last leaves are down. A regular gutter cleaning schedule in the spring and fall catches the gutter before the clog forms, and it is the timing we see most often on the houses we clean. When we open a gutter in May we find seeds packed in the elbows and a paste of pollen and buildup along the bottom of the run. In November it is a wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that sag under the weight of ice once the snow sets in.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, we see customers on every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the drains between visits and the rainwater stops moving freely. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough on our jobs. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still has to be cleared, because the debris that sits on top of a guard turns to a blockage over time. Gutter maintenance is mostly about timing, not the size of the job.
Winter also matters here, for residential and commercial buildings alike. The months we see the most snow and ice on the roofline are the ones that finish the job the fall leaves started, so the late fall visit is the one we push hardest. A clean run in November means the first melt has somewhere to go, and the heavy rainfall that comes in May, June and July has somewhere to go too.
After the first visit we tell you which of those tiers your lot actually needs, so you can clean your gutters on a schedule that fits. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for your spring or fall visit, or ask us to flush and check the runs on your schedule.
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 has worked on houses across town, in several neighborhoods, and the marshall gutter cleaning we do here is the same work we do on every house we clean. Booking is simple: you call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, we give you the quote from stories, size and tree cover, and we set a date. Every homeowner gets that quote in writing, and homeowners can ask for it by text or phone. Lead time depends on how many slots we have open that week, and we will tell you the first date we can actually get to when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
The calendar fills in two busy windows for our gutter services. Across Missouri, late May and June are the first, when seed and pollen drop is at its heaviest, and late October and November are the second, when the leaves come down all at once. Booking early in either window means a better choice of date, and it also helps keep your home from water damage by getting us to the first clog sooner. Call early, get your gutters on the calendar, and keep your gutters clear while you protect your home for the whole season.
Our cleaning services reach residential properties throughout town and the surrounding areas, from the nearest base, so a house on the edge of town, with more landscape around it, gets the same visit as one near the center. Whatever part of town you are in, the process is the same: we quote it, we book it, we clean it, and we send you the photos.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure in writing without seeing the house, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we will give you the number.
Most of our customers across marshall book late spring and late fall. In May we find seed casings and pollen in the drains, and in November the wet leaf mat is what we clean out. Clean your gutters in both windows, because houses that skip the fall visit can end up with runs that sag once the snow sets in.
Same-day slots are not something we promise, even for our cleaning services in marshall. Most open slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process is all outside: the crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run and drain to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every run is flushed and flow-tested, and the crew checks that water is leaving the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, on our jobs guards still need the surface cleared and the runs flushed, usually less often than open gutters. We find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and that is where the blockage starts.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A clean gutter system that still overflows has a slope or outlet-size problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than selling a second cleaning. Water that keeps spilling over the edge can rot the fascia behind it, so do not wait on it.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised with you 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.
