Our own crew cleans gutters in Bozeman, flushes every downspout and checks the flow, hauls away what comes out, and leaves the gutters clean with photos of every run before we go. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we would rather see your roofline before the first heavy rainfall than after it.
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 buildup is sitting in the gutters. We put an estimate together over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but on our jobs the stories and the buildup matter more than the footage alone. Our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way on every call, and a clean gutter run is the simplest figure we give.
What moves the quote is usually what our crew finds once they are on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits further up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed solid, and guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. A small leak at a seam gets photographed and reported, not priced on the spot. Gutters that sag or pull away from the fascia can point to structural damage behind them, and the crew flags it before anything else is done. Every homeowner hears the number before the crew climbs, and if anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included and never billed as extras. Bozeman gutter cleaning works the same way on every house.
Bozeman homeowners with heavy tree cover usually need more frequent visits, and that is part of what we check when you call. The point is drainage, not an empty trough, so the crew checks water flow at the outlet and makes sure it is not running behind the gutter. Commercial properties follow the same logic on a different schedule, and we keep the approach the same: find the blockage, clear it, and keep the water away from your home. Every flagged issue, from a sagging run to a clogged downspout, is written down before the crew leaves. A clean run is the goal on every job.
| 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.
On our jobs, most customers book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Here the wettest months are April, May and June, so a spring visit clears seeds and pollen before heavy rainfall arrives. Fall visits run late September to October, and snow falls from October through May, about 91 inches a year. A rain gutter with a blockage holds rainwater right at the eave, and that is where the ice forms, so the fall visit leaves a clean path into the downspouts before the freeze.
Under heavy tree cover the gutters fill faster, so the schedule runs shorter than twice a year. Near a busy road or active construction the same logic applies. With few or no trees, a single visit in late fall is enough for most houses. Guards reduce how often the gutter fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded systems run on a longer schedule rather than none at all. Regular gutter cleaning is the core of gutter maintenance, and it keeps a clean run from turning into a clogged one. Commercial sites follow a similar logic with their own timing, and residential and commercial customers get the same tiered schedule. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
If you want a clean start before the fall rains, call (866) 435-6328 and we will hold a date. Tell us about the trees, the stories and any sagging run, and we will say whether the house needs the twice-a-year schedule or a lighter one. On a schedule, clean your gutters and the visits stay short.
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 works across Bozeman, so the schedule depends on the route and the season rather than the neighborhood. Our gutter cleaning service covers every run on the house, and our gutter services include the gutters and downspouts from the front run to the back. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house if that is easier. We ask about stories, rough square footage and whether there are trees over the roof, then give you a quote before we set a date. Lead time changes with the season, and in the busy windows of the year the calendar fills quickly, so it helps to book early. Each of our cleanings leaves every run clear, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
If you have a particular concern, such as water running behind the gutter or a corner that never drains, say so when you call. Our crew will check that area first and tell you what they find, whether it is a clog, a twig wedged in the outlet, a slope problem or a leak at a joint. Flush every downspout as part of the standard visit, and we will check the surrounding areas for any sign of overflow or staining. The goal is to keep your gutters working, to move water away from your home, and to protect your home from water damage. A rain gutter that drains clean is much easier to live with than one that has been left to overflow.
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 name a figure without those details, because a two-story with a steep roof takes a different crew and more time than one with a walkable pitch. The quote you hear is the price on the invoice, and haul-away is already part of it.
Most of our customers book once in spring and again in the fall window, which runs late September to October in Bozeman. Waiting past that fall visit is where we see trouble, with ice at the eave, runs that have sagged by March, and wood trim that has started to rot behind them. A spring visit clears the seeds and pollen before they set into the elbows. Get your gutters on the calendar before the first heavy rainfall.
The calendar moves with the season, so we confirm a date when you call and tell you what is open. Call to get your gutters on the schedule, and we will say whether a faster slot is possible.
No, you do not need to be home. The gutter cleaning process is outside work only, so the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested during the visit, and we watch the water until it runs clear of the foundation and the landscape beside the house. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it. Debris removal is part of the standard visit, and the standard visit does not include excavation.
Yes, guarded gutters still need attention. Guards keep out most leaves, but seed casings and fine grit still settle on top and underneath, and once that wet mat builds up, water runs over the front edge instead of into the gutter system. The job is shorter with guards, but the surface still gets cleared and the gutter system still gets flushed. Guarded systems still need cleaning and maintenance, just less of it.
If the gutter is clean and still spilling over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size rather than buildup. Send us a photo or a short video 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, such as a loose hanger or a clog deeper than expected, you hear about it and agree before work starts. Anything that changes the number is raised before we begin, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
