Our own crew cleans your gutters, every run flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of each run before we leave so you can see it is clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaves have finished.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our cleaning services in Lacey are priced from stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote these cleanings over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A clean run and a packed run are not the same job, and the quote reflects which one the crew finds. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of gutter, but the stories and the roofline are what drive the total on a house like yours, and a homeowner sees the same three factors at work.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down packed with muck and wet leaves, and a seam that has started to leak takes longer to seal. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing every drainpipe to keep water away from your home, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our work here, one recent visit on a two-story house in a heavy tree neighborhood is a good example of how the quote gets built. The crew found a leaf mat two inches deep in the back run and a drainpipe with a twig jammed at the elbow, and the job was priced from those two findings on the phone before we arrived. The link to that job is on the case page.
Gutters are priced the same way whether you have a single run or a full system, but the more the crew has to clear, the more it costs. We keep the gutter cleaning process the same on every house so the number stays predictable. That holds for gutter maintenance on a one-time visit and for a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule too, and every visit ends with the crew leaving a clean run behind. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house, or ask for a written estimate to get your gutters on the calendar, and we will tell you what it covers.
| 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.
Most of our customers here book twice a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds packed to the elbow and pollen paste sitting in the drainpipes, and a run that looks clean from the ground can still be full at the elbow. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, plus the leaves and debris that come down with it, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March, which is where structural damage and fascia rot start.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the drainpipes and leave clogged downspouts between visits. On a landscape with few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough, and a clean gutter going into winter is the goal. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be cleared, because wet material sitting on top of a guard runs off the front edge.
The gutter system across Lacey takes a beating from the same nor'easters that hit across New Jersey, so the timing of each visit matters more than the number of visits. Lacey's wettest months are March, August and December, and that is when heavy rainfall finds the gutter that was not cleared. Our crew checks the full run and will flush every downspout to keep water away from your home and the foundation, so it does not sit behind the fascia. That is how we protect your home, and it keeps the rain gutter clean and working through a heavy storm.
After the first visit we tell you how often to clean your gutters and which tier your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 or ask for a written estimate to book a date.
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 work in Lacey and leave every run clean, covering residential properties from single-story ranch homes to three-story houses with steep roofs. Lacey homes get a quote by phone or text based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Calendars fill up in spring and fall, so book early. Once the quote is set, the crew confirms a date and an arrival window, and the lead time depends on the calendar when you call. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the house, or book a date and we will hold it. Our crew covers the surrounding areas of NJ from the nearest base, and if you want to clean your gutters once or on a schedule, the booking works the same way.
We also do residential and commercial gutter services in the area. Commercial properties are billed per building on a scheduled basis, but the residential side is where most of our work here sits. A homeowner who sees a sag, buildup or a clog gets the same drainage check, water flow test and debris removal as any other job. Whether you need a single cleaning or regular gutter cleaning, ask for the quote and we will explain the timing and what it takes to keep the gutters clean on schedule.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a figure in writing without those details, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Our customers book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the leaves come down. Lacey gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, so a clog or blockage left until winter means rainwater backing up under the roofline and ice in the runs. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date and keep your gutters clear.
Lead time depends on the calendar when you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, the same way in every surrounding area we serve. We send 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 flow-test it, and check the outlet to see that water is leaving. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top and mat when they get wet. The crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and flushes the drainpipes, and leaves the guards seated and the ground clean.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, it usually has a slope or drainpipe-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, because a second cleaning will not protect your home from water damage.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, and that goes for every one of our gutter services. The price for gutters and downspouts stays put, and the balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
