Our own crew leaves gutters clean in Town and Country MO, every drain flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and debris bagged and hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been doing this work for homeowners here most spring and fall seasons, and we keep the same crew on the ladder from the first run to the last.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are priced from three things: stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Each homeowner gets the number by phone or text before the crew arrives, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but a flat figure from the house as a whole is what we give because it is easier to check.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones we see again and again. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk safely, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that takes longer. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves, and the clog takes more time to clear, so the crew works each run until it is clean and draining. 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 gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our experience with Town and Country homes is that the heavier the tree cover, the more leaves the crew pulls out of each run. One customer on a lot with few trees had a light fall visit that took a short time, while a neighbor under heavy cover needed more hours on the same kind of house. Heavy leaf and seed loads are the reason we flush every outlet and check that water is carried away from your home, because clogged downspouts can send water back toward the house. Good drainage is the whole point of the visit, and a run that moves water well is the first defense against a leak at a seam. When we find structural damage from years of standing water, we photograph it and report it rather than sell a repair. A rain gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope problem, and we say so plainly.
| 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 in Town and Country MO book twice a year, in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves come down. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps most homes clear. Those two points in the year catch what builds up fastest. When we open a gutter that looks clean from the ground in late spring, we often find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. When we open one in late fall we find a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia until the next storm. Those two visits are enough for most homes.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site, we see grit and the odd twig pack the outlets between visits. Beds of landscape mulch piled against the foundation can wash into the trough as well. Those houses are on every three to four months, because the blockage builds faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. Homes with few or no trees usually need only one visit a year, in late fall. Gutter guards still need the top kept clean, just less often. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put that in writing.
Freezing winters are part of the reason the fall visit matters here. Rainwater that sits in a gutter clog during late fall can become ice by winter, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag, pull loose and let the fascia rot by March. That is why we do not treat the fall visit as optional. Keeping a clean run through the wet months helps us protect your home from water damage, and it lets us spot a loose hanger or a leak at a seam while the crew is already on the ladder. The gutter system only works when the water flow is unblocked, which is the whole reason for the visit.
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 covers the area from the nearest base and works across town and country, not just a few streets. For town and country gutter cleaning, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a quote from your stories, your size and how much tree cover is overhead. We take calls from surrounding areas too, and the quote works the same way there. A photo helps us judge the roof pitch before we arrive, so the number we give is the number we bring.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busiest windows on our calendar are late spring and late fall, when most homeowners in the area book their cleanings at once, so reserve early if you want a particular week. Gutter services fill fastest in those windows, so get your gutters on the calendar before the rush. We work residential properties here and in surrounding areas. For commercial properties, or a residential and commercial building, call first and we will tell you on the phone whether the job fits our crew. Our crew checks gutters and downspouts on every visit before the ladder comes down. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you'd rather clean your gutters yourself between visits, a quick look after heavy rainfall catches a blockage early, and our crew can flush every downspout on the next scheduled visit.
The number comes from the house's stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before anyone climbs a ladder. Flushing and haul-off are part of the gutter cleaning service, not extras. Ask for the figure in writing before you book.
Our customers here book cleaning and maintenance in late spring and late fall, in the months we find the most seed and leaf buildup. Waiting past the fall visit on a freezing-winter house is how we end up finding sagging runs by March. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date.
Same-day availability depends on the calendar that week. Cleaning services in Town and Country are booked across the week, and most slots come up within it, so we confirm the exact date when you call. Text a photo of your roofline to speed up the estimate.
No. The gutter cleaning process happens outside only: the crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet gets flushed, and we check that drainage is working at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it, and it is not included in the standard visit.
Yes. On our jobs we find twigs, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and settling underneath. The guards are part of the gutter system, and the surface still needs clearing, though less often than an open gutter.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows usually has a slope or capacity problem, not a leak. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice. The number on the phone is the number you pay.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
