Our own crew will clean gutters on Lexington homes, flush every downspout, flow-test the run, haul the bags away, and send you photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Nebraska, most of our customers book for late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the last leaves have come down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge, on residential and commercial jobs alike. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place once they add the same steps, and we are glad to walk through either method with you.
On our jobs, a third story or a pitch too steep to walk is what moves the number most, because it takes longer to set the ladder and work the run safely. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years take the longest to clean, and the crew has to work that buildup loose by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step too. Downspout flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and haul-away of the bags are included in the quote and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice. Regular upkeep keeps the water flow clear, and a clean run is simpler to price than a neglected one.
Before we give an estimate, we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text, because a clog, a sag or a buildup along the gutter line usually shows from the driveway, even on a house that looks clean from the street. Lexington homes are the same kind of system as any other, and the gutter cleaning process is the same on every job we price, so the number you hear on the phone holds.

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 Lexington NE customers book twice a year, in spring and fall, because a visit in each window helps protect your home from water damage. Across Nebraska, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Our fall visit runs from October to early November, after the last leaves come down, so the fallen leaves are off the gutters before the snow. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and a single rain can turn that paste into a blockage at the outlet, and that is how a clog starts. In November it is the wet leaf mat that matters. Houses that skip the fall visit can end up with runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March, because the water froze in the trough and nobody cleared it out.
Under heavy tree cover, gutters need more visits, since needles and grit pack the downspout and the roofline between visits and the rainwater has nowhere to go. Lexington's wettest months are May, June and July, and heavy rainfall finds every blockage in a downspout. With few or no trees over the house, one visit a year in late fall is often enough, and homes in surrounding areas follow the same schedule. Gutter guards cut the frequency, but we still clean the surface and check the gutter on each visit, because a guard holds back leaves without stopping the grit underneath. Between the big visits, keep your gutters clean through regular gutter cleaning, because gutter maintenance is what our gutter services are built around. Clearing the gutters keeps water away from your home.
After the first visit, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutters, not on a chart. That is the only honest way to set the schedule, and it is why every clean comes with photos of every run.
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.
Booking with us is simple for Lexington homeowners and for businesses with a few buildings. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us your stories and roughly how big the house is, and say whether there are trees over the gutters, a twig or leaf load in the trough, or gutter guards already on the house. If a gutter already shows a leak at a seam, say so when you call and we note it on the quote. We give you the quote on the spot, and you decide whether to book. Lead time depends on how many crews are already out that week, and we confirm the date when you call so nothing is left to guess.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so those are the weeks to call early, and cleanings in those windows fill first. Before a heavy rainfall, get your gutters on the schedule, since a run that is already full can overflow and cause structural damage. We call you before we come and nobody needs to be home. Our crew is ready to start on the day you choose, and we send the photos to your phone before the truck leaves. Whether you want Lexington gutter cleaning on one house or a whole street, the process is the same for every clean we book, and the cleaning and maintenance steps do not change with the size of the street.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 for that figure. There is no fixed number for a two-story house because the trees and the run length change it, and we confirm the number before the crew arrives.
Our customers here usually book late May or June, and again in October or early November, when it is time to clean your gutters before the weather turns. If you wait past the first hard freeze, the fallen leaves and the ice can damage the runs before we get there. Across Nebraska, late May to June is the spring window, and we tell you which fall date fits your lot.
Same-day service across Lexington depends on how many crews are out that week, so we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning services in Lexington fill faster in the busy windows than in the quiet months.
No, a homeowner does not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water runs clear at the outlet, and we keep the water away from the foundation. If a line drains underground, we tell you what we see at the outlet, but clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out the leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard and mat into a paste, and a guarded gutter system still needs a visit, more so if your landscape has heavy trees near the house. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush the downspout run and reseat the guards.
If a clean rain gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is slope or downspout size, not debris, and water left running over the edge can rot the fascia and lead to structural damage. Clogged downspouts get cleared on the visit; slope problems do not. Send us a short video of the clean gutter in the rain and we tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell you and you agree before work starts. The same rule holds on residential properties and commercial properties, and the number 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.
