Our own crew does the work: we clean gutters across O'Fallon, flush every downspout, test the flow and haul it all away. We send photos of each run once it is clean, before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you when you call is the number on the invoice. Most customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
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 gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the height and how much buildup sits in the gutter matter more than the length of the run.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape puts the back run higher than it looks from the yard. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes down packed with compacted leaves and grit, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is how the gutter cleaning process runs on a typical visit. The crew arrives, sets stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip, clears the runs by hand and flushes each downspout until it carries the water away at the bottom. Where the water leaves through an underground line, we check the drainage and the water flow at the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. O'Fallon homes are mostly one or two stories, and most O'Fallon homeowners get the simplest quote we write. Gutters on taller homes or under heavy canopy take longer, and we say so on the phone.
Gutter cleaning services in O'Fallon are a regular job for us, and regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the price down, because a gutter cleaned twice a year is far easier than one left for three years. Our crew does residential and commercial work. On residential properties and commercial properties alike, the job is the same: clean out the leaves and grit, flush the line and check the flow. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a rough estimate from what we can see from the ground.
| 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 O'Fallon gutter cleaning customers book twice a year. Across Missouri the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs late October to November, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we find the seeds packed to the elbow of the downspout and a pollen buildup sitting in the trough. In late fall it is a wet mat of leaves and debris, and that is the visit that stops the clog from becoming a blockage before the freeze. Heavy rainfall here peaks in April, May and June, so a clean run going into spring matters.
Winter in O'Fallon brings snow in January, February, March and December, and the fall visit is what keeps the runs from freezing full. Houses that skipped the fall visit are the ones where we find a run with a sag in it or pulled loose by March, because the water had nowhere to go and the ice took it. That kind of structural damage is what the calendar protects against most. Our crew can tell you what the first hard freeze does to a gutter that is still full of wet leaves.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees hanging over the house, most of our customers are on every three to four months, because seed casings and grit pack the run between visits and the rainwater backs up before the next scheduled clean. Few or no trees and the schedule is once a year in late fall, which is enough. Gutter guards change the frequency a little, but the surface still needs clearing, and we say so on the quote. Regular gutter cleaning helps protect your home from water damage, and a clogged downspout is usually where that damage starts.
We keep a record of the gutters and downspouts we touch on each visit, so the next crew knows what they are walking into. After the first visit, once the gutters are clean, we tell you which of those tiers your lot actually needs, and the schedule runs from there. Between visits, a quick look along the roofline from the ground shows whether it is time to clean your gutters early, and that few-minute check is the easiest way to keep your gutters clear.
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 covers O'Fallon MO and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we serve every neighborhood rather than a few blocks. Booking for our gutter services works the same way everywhere: call (866) 435-6328 or text, give us the stories, the rough square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We quote from those and confirm the date with you. Most slots open up within the week, and the lead time shows up in the confirmation when you call.
The calendar fills in two stretches a year, the late spring window and the late fall window, so if you want a date in either one, call early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works outside, does not come inside, bags the leaves, twig pieces and grit that come out of the gutters and carries it away from your home. Every visit ends with a clean run, a flushed downspout and photos on your phone.
If you have a house in O'Fallon that has been left for a few seasons, tell us when you call. The first visit on a long-neglected gutter takes longer, and we would rather quote it right than rush it. The simplest gutter maintenance we know of is a regular cycle of cleanings, and that is how you get your gutters through the wet seasons without the costly repairs that a slow leak behind the fascia brings on.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. A homeowner gets the same number on the phone that shows up on the invoice. We do not quote a range without those details. Flushing and haul-away are already included.
Across Missouri the spring visit lands in late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November. Most of our customers here book both. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find a run with a sag in it, or fascia starting to rot, by March, because the first freeze caught full gutters and clogged downspouts. Under heavy tree cover the schedule is every three to four months.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day is not something we promise on every job, so ask us when you book and we will tell you what is open. Our cleaning and maintenance visits are booked the same way.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see how clean each run is. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. A clog in one downspout backs the whole run up, so every downspout is flushed and watched until it carries the water away at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line we check the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. On our jobs the guards keep the leaves out, but seed casings, bark bits and grit still settle on top and turn into a wet mat. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards.
A rain gutter that is clean and still spilling over the front edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video taken 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 the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
