Our own crew cleans gutters here, and every run is flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Leaves and muck are hauled off the property, and you get photos of each run. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
On our jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been running that schedule across New Hampshire long enough to know which runs fill first.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our cleaning services in Windham depend on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Homeowners get the same question first: how many stories, and how packed is the trough? Get your gutters quoted by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and how packed the trough is are what actually moves the number for a homeowner on our jobs.
A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care on the lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with years of buildup packed into the trough, and a hard clog has to be dug out by hand before flushing starts. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time on either end of the job. We raise any change like these before work begins, never on the invoice.
Flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included as part of our gutter cleaning process, and they are never billed as extras. Everything we pull out is carried away from your home in the truck. Flushing is what separates a clean run from one that only looks clean, since it shows the water flow at the outlet. If a run is not draining after the cleaning, we photograph it and tell you what we see.
On our jobs, the number comes down to the same three things every time: the house height, the pitch, and what the crew finds when the first section comes out. A heavy leaf load on a two-story house with no trees around it is quoted differently from a three-story house under heavy tree cover, and the phone quote reflects that. Regular gutter maintenance is quoted the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from what we see.
| 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 Windham customers book two cleanings a year, in spring and in fall. Across New Hampshire, the spring clean lands in mid to late June, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in late spring, we find seeds and seed casings packed into the corner elbows and a paste of pollen sitting in the trough. In October and early November it is the wet leaf mat that matters, because heavy rainfall turns leaves and debris into a dam at the elbow, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by March under the weight of ice.
Under heavy tree cover, our customers book every three to four months, because needles, twig pieces and grit pack the troughs between visits. A gutter system packed with leaves backs the whole rain gutter run up, and a clog at the elbow is where a leak starts, usually at the fascia, and rot and structural damage follow. Houses with few or no trees need a clean once a year in late fall. Guards reduce how often the gutter needs cleaning, but the landscape around the house decides how much debris still reaches the surface, and that surface still has to be cleared to keep water away from the house.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what came out of the gutter and what the trees are dropping. Our crews work across New Hampshire, and the calendar is built around the rain and the leaf drop, not the other way around. We also do regular gutter cleaning for residential and commercial properties, and the cleaning and maintenance schedule for each is set separately.
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 Windham and surrounding areas, serving Windham homes and the surrounding areas. Windham homeowners start with a quote by phone or text, based on stories, size and tree cover. A photo of the front of the house helps us see the roofline before we arrive, though it is not required. Call us at (866) 435-6328 or send a text to request a slot.
Lead time for any gutter cleaning service depends on the calendar. The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the spring seed drop and the fall leaf load both come down at once, and slots in those windows fill first. If you want a date in those months, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for a clean.
Whether you want one visit or a regular schedule to clean your gutters through the year, we set the date and confirm it by phone before the crew arrives. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential properties in this area. We also offer debris removal from the valleys when the gutter is full, and that is included in the quote.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters and downspouts. We give that quote by phone or text, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Nothing is added after the crew is on the ladder.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the last leaves. In Windham NH, a gutter left until after the first hard freeze is harder to clear and can start to sag by March. Houses under heavy trees need a visit every three to four months.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day availability for our gutter services depends on the calendar that week, so ask when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. The process runs outside only, and the crew does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets indoors while the ladders are up. We send photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, we flush every downspout on the property, including clogged downspouts, and flow-test each one at the outlet. Where a run feeds an underground drain, we check the drainage at the outlet and confirm that water is leaving the drain. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone starts.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep leaves out of the trough, but needles, seed casings and roof grit still settle on top of the guard and into the gutter underneath. The surface still needs a clean, though the visit is usually shorter, and it is the simplest way to keep your gutters working.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows when rainwater comes down has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what it is, because catching it early helps protect your home from water damage. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, such as a steep section or gutters packed far worse than described, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. 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.
