Our own crew comes out to clean your gutters, every drainpipe flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled off, and photos of every 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 on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers book spring and fall visits, and we will tell you which visit your lot needs.
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, whether that is a twig or a packed mat of wet leaves. 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 of the house and how packed each trough is matter more than the total length.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the lift we need. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, and that adds time. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes out packed with leaves and debris, and it takes longer before the trough is clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat are one more step. Drainpipe flushing, water flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Where a trough will sag or a run has pulled loose, the crew notes it in the report with a photo. Rainwater that cannot get through a blockage backs up and spills over the edge, and that is how it ends up against the foundation and causes structural damage over time. Clearing the clog so the drainage works and water runs away from your home is the job we quote, and that is the core of our gutter services.
We have seen this on Troy homes with big trees over the roof, where the rain gutter fills within a season. On that kind of job, the gutters and downspouts carry a buildup of seeds and leaves, and clogged downspouts are usually why water spills onto the walkway. The quote follows the stories, the tree cover and what we find, not a rate card.
We handle residential and commercial work. Residential properties get the same flush and photo report, and commercial properties are priced per building and scheduled around the lease, but this page is about the houses we clean here.

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.
Across Missouri, spring visits run late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Fall visits run late October to November, after the last leaves. When we open a trough in May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows, even on a trough that looked clean from the ground. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and with freeze risk here, the first ice builds at the eave once the cold settles in. Most of our customers book a spring and fall visit, and houses that skip the fall visit tend to show a sag in the runs by March.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what we see, because needles and grit pack the drain pipes between cleanings and a clog can turn into a leak at the joint faster than a season allows. Near a busy road, a construction site or a landscape bed with mulch, the dust does the same thing. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall keeps the lot clean for most homes. Guards cut the frequency, but the surface still needs clearing.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the troughs, not a general rule. Regular gutter cleaning is the cheapest way to keep a clog from becoming a repair, and each gutter cleaning service visit is gutter maintenance that keeps the system doing its job through heavy rainfall. Call (866) 435-6328 to set your spring or fall date, and we will text you the photos from each visit so you can see the change over time.
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 Troy MO and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, so the drive is already in the quote. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a quote from stories, size and tree cover. A photo of the roofline helps us set the lift before we arrive. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills first. Homeowners across Troy get the same written quote whether the house has one story or three. Most homeowners want the visit and the photo report booked together. We offer gutter cleaning services on a one-time or repeat schedule, and a troy gutter cleaning visit is priced the same way from the first call.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. We work from the outside and do not come inside, and the photos arrive on your phone before we leave. We leave the yard as clean as we found it. We flush every downspout and check the flow before we leave. Our debris removal is in the quote, not a line item on the invoice. If you want to lock in a date, ask for a written estimate and book the slot. Clean your gutters on schedule, keep your gutters clear, and keep water moving away from your home, which is how you protect your home from water damage.
The number comes from stories and size, and we quote it by phone or text. The number we give is the number on your invoice, and drainpipe flushing and haul-off are already included.
Across Missouri, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run late October to November. If the fall visit is skipped, we often find sagging runs and fascia rot by March. Under heavy tree cover, the schedule we see most is cleaning and maintenance every three to four months, and gutter maintenance is the part that keeps the runs from sagging.
Same-day depends on the calendar, so call and we will check. If you want to get your gutters done this week, say so when you call, and we will tell you the earliest opening when we quote the job.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Every drain pipe is flushed and flow-tested, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a line drains underground and needs clearing, we quote that separately before we touch it.
Yes, usually less often, but gutter guards still let needles, seeds and grit sit on top of them. On our jobs we lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the drain pipes and reseat the guards.
A clean trough that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or pipe-size problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we tell you what it is without selling a second cleaning.
Only if something changes the job, and then the homeowner hears it and agrees before work starts. The gutter cleaning process runs on the quote from the phone call, so otherwise the number we quoted is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
