Our own crew cleans your gutters from start to finish. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, everything gets hauled away, and you get photos of every run before we leave. 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. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for our gutter cleaning services depends on stories, 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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place once you do the math, though we do not quote that way. Nothing here is a rate card; the figure you need is the one we give you for your house.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that takes longer. A walk-out basement or a lot with a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavy, with compacted muck packed into the trough and the outlets, and that is a longer visit. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter in New Providence homes, the clog is usually the same story: leaves and debris pressed into the elbow, then grit washed down until the water has nowhere to go. Left alone, that is where the sag starts, the fascia begins to rot, and the overflow starts to damage the wall below. The visit clears the buildup, leaves the trough clean, and checks the drainage at the outlet, so the water flow carries the water away from your home. The same crew does residential and commercial properties on a per-building schedule, and the approach is the same on a rain gutter, clogged downspouts, or a run that has already started to show structural damage.
After a first visit, the quote for the next one is usually simpler, because we already know the house. Ask for the written estimate and we send it with the photos, so you can compare the number to what you were told on the phone.
| 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 book twice a year, in late spring after seed and pollen drop, and in late fall after the last leaves. Across New Jersey, the spring window runs late May to June, and that is when seed casings and pollen paste pack into the downspout elbows. Late October or November is when the wet leaf mat is thickest, and in New Jersey the cold months are when a missed fall visit shows up as ice on the gutter lip, a leak at the seam, and runs that have pulled loose by March. The months that matter here are the ones your gutter shows you, not a calendar date.
Under heavy tree cover, we see a gutter clog faster, because leaves and grit pack the trough between visits, and heavy rainfall washes the rest into the outlets. Houses like that need regular gutter cleaning every three to four months. With few or no trees overhead, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutter maintenance with gutter guards still means keeping the surface clean, and that visit comes less often than on an open gutter. The rainwater runs off the shingles into the trough, and any blockage at the eave or the outlet means the water does not leave the house the way it should.
When we open a gutter here in May, we find the spring seeds and pollen. When we open one in November, the leaves and the water that has sat under them. On either visit we check the gutters and downspouts and the outlets so the estimate for the next visit is based on what is actually in the system. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not guessing about the schedule. Clean your gutters on the schedule your house actually calls for, and the crew will tell you what that is.
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 across New Providence and the surrounding areas, and our cleaning services in New Providence follow the same steps on every job. Booking for New Providence gutter cleaning starts with the quote by phone or text, from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. Lead time changes with the season, so we tell you the first open date when you call rather than promise a day. The two busy windows are spring and fall, when our calendar fills fastest. We handle residential properties, and the gutter cleaning process is the same on each one.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. You can book a date, or ask for a written estimate first and decide later. Either way, the first contact is the same: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with what we need. Every one of our cleanings ends with photos of each run on your phone.
For the homeowner, the goal is simple: keep your gutters working, so water stays out of the wall and the foundation, and so the next storm does not turn into a call. Our gutter services protect your home from water damage, and we do the work with our own crew, with photos of every run and a clean trough, so you can see what was cleared before the truck leaves.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Tell us the stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and you get the same number on the invoice. Nothing is added for flushing or haul-off.
Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run late October to November. If you wait past the fall visit, we see ice on the lip and runs that have sagged by March. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you which visit your house needs first.
Same-day visits in New Providence NJ depend on the week, and most slots come up within the week during spring and fall. We confirm a date when you call (866) 435-6328, and we do not promise a day we cannot keep. Call early and we can get your gutters on the calendar before the busy weeks fill.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. A twig or seed casing left in the trough gets pulled out by hand, 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, every downspout is flushed and checked at the outlet until it runs clean, so you know the water is leaving the gutter system and the house. If a downspout feeds an underground line that needs clearing, we tell you, and that work is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes, usually less often than open gutters, but the surface still needs clearing. Guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, yet shingle grit and seed casings still sit on top of the guard and keep water out of the trough. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still spills water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree before work starts. The number we quote 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.
