Our own crew clears every gutter run, flushes each downspout until it flows clear, and hauls the leaves and clippings away before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Every run and downspout is photographed, clean and empty, before the truck leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote on your house.
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. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Owners of commercial properties should ask for a separate quote, because the stories and access still move it most. Nothing here is a fixed rate card; the crew sees the roofline, the drainage path and the gutter load before the work starts.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story on the gutter system, or a steep pitch we cannot walk, means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the back roofline. A rain gutter that has not been opened in years comes down packed with compacted leaves and debris, plus the odd twig, which takes longer to clear than a light fall load. For a homeowner with guards, lifting and reseating them adds time as well. Downspout flushing, water flow checks and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Edison homes with heavy overhead cover often arrive with gutters full of leaves and grit, and clogged downspouts often sit at the elbow. On those jobs the crew clears the runs, flushes each downspout until the water runs clear at the outlet, and photographs every run before leaving. The quote is set by the stories and the tree cover, the same way we quote every job, and it does not change once the crew is up there. Clean gutters and downspouts keep water away from the foundation, and a sag or buildup in the trough is usually the first sign of structural damage starting behind the fascia.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $225 | from $295 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $260 | from $335 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $235 | from $305 | from $395 |
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.
Across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Most of our customers in Edison NJ also book the fall visit, in late October or November after the last leaves. When the crew opens a gutter here in May, we find seeds and pollen paste packed in the elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that have sagged under ice by March.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. The wettest months here are June, July and August, so a trough that is clear in spring can overflow by midsummer under heavy rainfall. Regular gutter cleaning with few or no trees around the house usually means once a year in late fall is enough. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still gets cleared on the same schedule. Any gutter clog or blockage left alone lets rainwater spill over the edge and into the fascia, and that is how wood rot and a roof leak start.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. If you can only clean your gutters once a year, pick late fall. The estimate from that visit is written down and the schedule is set from what the crew saw on your roof, not from a general rule.
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 handles Edison gutter cleaning from the nearest base, and we clean gutters on homes nearby. You get a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is overhead, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm a date when you call. We book residential and commercial work through the same phone line, and residential properties get the photo check after every run. Call (866) 435-6328 to book; the two busiest windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fast.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works from the outside, so you do not have to clear anything inside. Book a date now if you want a slot in the busy windows, and tell us about any gutter guards or tall sections when you call so the quote is right the first time. Any homeowner who wants to protect your home from water damage before the rainy months can book the same crew, and it also handles surrounding areas if you need a quote for more than one property. Keep your gutters clear between cleanings and the water stays away from your home. Every one of our gutter services follows the same steps, and our cleaning and maintenance visits are the same from the first call to the photos. Call us now to get your gutters on the schedule before the rains start.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We quote every house across Edison this way, and we do not publish a figure on this page, because the price is set from what the crew sees up top.
Across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November. If the fall visit is skipped, we see runs that sag under ice by March.
Our cleaning services in Edison run on the calendar, so same-day slots depend on it. Slots open as the calendar allows, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. The gutter cleaning process runs outside, our crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and downspout go 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 it for flow. Checking an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone starts on it.
Yes, guards keep leaves out, but needles, seeds and grit still build up on top and under the guard, so gutter maintenance does not stop. On our jobs the surface still gets cleared on the same schedule.
If the gutter is clean and still spills over in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
No, the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
