Our own crew cleans your gutters, flushing each outlet and flow-testing the run before we leave. Everything that comes out of the gutters is hauled off the property, and you get photos of every run before the truck pulls out.
The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Nevada, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we open the calendar.
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 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. Our cleaning services in Reno are priced that way for every house. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the gutter profile and the stories matter more than the length.
What moves a quote on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed solid with old leaves and the odd twig, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and every run comes out clean. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, the houses that take the longest are the ones with a steep roofline and a long back run, because the crew has to set the ladder and the boom or scissor lift on uneven ground. Homeowners who send a photo of the front of the house by text often get a number that matches the invoice on the first try. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see before we schedule anything. If you want to get your gutters quoted in writing, ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day we give you the number.
When a gutter is still full of leaves or sitting heavy with a clog, the crew clears it by hand until the trough is clean, and that is part of the gutter cleaning process we price in. Some homeowners ask why a price on a small house can run higher than a neighbor's, and the honest answer is usually the three things above, not the square footage alone. Heavy rainfall in the weeks before the visit means more soaked muck to haul, and that goes into the number too.
| 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 book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Nevada, our spring visit runs mid to late July, and an open gutter then still holds seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall, the visit runs late October to November, and by then leaves and debris have filled the trough. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see a leak at the seams by the next season.
Under heavy tree cover, where needles and grit cause buildup in the gutter system between visits, our customers are on every three to four months. Near a busy road or a construction site, the same schedule applies, because the dust settles in the gutter faster than leaves do. A landscape with mulch beds right against the house sends fine grit into the trough too, and that is on the same schedule. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall keeps the run clean. The cleaning and maintenance schedule is set by what is around the house, not by the calendar alone.
Along the rain gutter run, the first thing we check is drainage, meaning whether the gutter is keeping water away from the foundation. Clogged downspouts are the most common cause of trouble we find on a return visit, even on a gutter we left clean, and they turn into rot and structural damage faster than most homeowners expect. A gutter that sags can also mean a blockage at the elbow is holding water that should be draining away from your home.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Across Nevada the mix varies from lot to lot, and the first clean is the cheapest way to learn what your gutters are doing.
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 gutter cleaning services start with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Our crew covers Reno, NV from the nearest base and works across the surrounding areas, on residential and commercial buildings. The lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows are the two stretches of spring and fall when our calendar fills.
We call before we come, and you do not have to be there for the visit. If you are a homeowner and the gutters are over-full, we can often fit a visit in before the next rainfall, but we will confirm a date when you call rather than promising one we cannot keep. For properties with a regular schedule of gutter services, we set the dates a season ahead so the calendar holds. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front to book a date, and every run is left clean before we leave.
Commercial properties get the same written estimate and the same photos of every run. Reno homes get the same routine as every other residential property we service, and the crew adjusts the visit length to the house rather than to a standard block of time. If you want to clean your gutters on a set schedule, tell us the months you prefer and we will build the calendar around them. Every run comes back clean in the photos.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. For a two-story house in Reno NV, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will give you the number before anything is scheduled. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the leaves come down. If the gutters wait past the first hard freeze, the runs can sag under ice by March. Under heavy tree cover we see clogged gutters every few months.
Same-day gutter cleaning service depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so the visit is not promised before we know it fits.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see that every gutter is clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check it at the outlet until the water comes out clean, and the gutters and downspouts get checked as one system. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep the leaves out but not the needles, seeds and grit, which settle on top and clog the run over time. We clear what sits on the guard and check the water flow underneath, so the run stays clean. To keep your gutters working between visits, look at the guard after a big storm.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows when rainwater hits it has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, so you can protect your home from water damage. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts. The estimate 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.
