Our own crew runs a gutter cleaning service in Dayton NV, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your roof size and how much tree cover sits over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Nevada most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we run the same process on every visit here.
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 it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run once you add everything up. Before anyone climbs a ladder, you hear the whole gutter cleaning process.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement puts the back run far higher than the front, and a sloped lot does the same. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, and that takes longer to clean by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. We see clog after clog at the elbows, where the water flow stops, drainage backs up and the sag starts, and we clean that buildup out as part of the job.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and the haul-away are included in the quote and never billed as extras. We flush every downspout until the water runs clean at the bottom. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Dayton jobs the houses with the most leaves and debris are the ones that have waited longest between visits. Those are the Dayton homeowners where we see the most structural damage from water sitting in the trough, and the cleanings there are the ones that prevent the water away from the house problem before it starts. Our gutter cleaning service here is priced the same way as everywhere else: from what we find up top, not from a rate card. The same approach covers commercial properties and residential properties across Dayton, and clogged downspouts are the first thing we check on either.
| 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 Dayton customers book regular gutter cleaning twice a year. The first visit lands in spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and the second in fall, late October to November, once the leaves have dropped. Timing matters more than the count: clean your gutters before the season turns, not during it. When we open a gutter here after the spring thaw we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and in fall it is the wet leaf mat and, on freeze-prone runs, the first ice at the eave.
Houses that skipped the fall visit show the difference by spring. We see runs that sagged under ice and pulled loose from the fascia line, where the board behind has begun to rot, and a rain gutter that spilled its rainwater during heavy rainfall, which one cleaning in November would have prevented. The same thing happens on a run where the trough has filled from the back. The blockage is usually at the downspout, not the gutter itself, so a clog that looks minor from the ground can start a leak and back water up along the whole run.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps up with needles and grit packing the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Guards reduce how often you need gutter maintenance, but they do not remove the need, so we still clean the surface, check the flow and look along the roofline.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. The estimate we give comes from what we see in your gutters, not from a guess about the neighborhood. Debris removal is part of every visit, and the same check applies to residential and commercial buildings.
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.
We clean gutters in several Dayton neighborhoods, and the crew works from a base that covers the city and the surrounding areas. Booking starts with a quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us your stories, your roof size and whether trees hang over the house. If it is an easy clean, text us a photo of the front of the house so we can see the gutter system and the eaves before the crew arrives.
Lead time depends on the calendar, and our busiest windows are spring and fall, when most of our customers book. Plan ahead for those seasons if you can. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit, so the homeowner does not lose a day.
Dayton gutter cleaning is one part of what we do. We serve residential and commercial buildings, so we also clean gutters and downspouts on commercial properties, and we do exterior window cleaning once the gutters are finished. The point is cleaning and maintenance that keeps water away from your home before rain or ice does the work for you, and before runoff floods the landscape along the foundation, so the gutter services are booked as one visit when the house needs both. We would rather you get your gutters cleaned on a schedule that fits your house than wait until something sags. A rain gutter with a twig jammed in the elbow is what starts a leak, and the bagging is part of every visit.
The number comes from the stories and the square footage, along with what is in the gutters, so our cleaning services in Dayton are never a guess. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote it from those things before anyone comes out.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, usually late October to November. If you wait past that fall visit on a freeze-prone house, the ice and the sagging runs show up by late winter, and that is harder to fix than one regular gutter cleaning in November.
Lead time depends on the calendar. Ask for a date when you call, and we confirm it once we have your address and a rough idea of the roof.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets indoors while the ladders are up, and we send photos of every run to your phone before we leave.
Yes, we flush every downspout until it runs clean, and we confirm the water is leaving at the outlet. If a line runs underground and needs clearing, we tell you and quote that separately before touching it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and grit settling underneath. The guard reduces the work, but it does not remove the need for gutter maintenance, so we still clean the surface and check the flow.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a short video in heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if they find something that changes the job, and then you hear about it and agree before they start. The quote you get 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.
