Our own crew does every cleaning job in Los Lunas, from the first run to the last downspout. Each downspout is flushed and flow-tested, the debris is hauled off, and you get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we can work your schedule around them.
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 how much leaves and debris is in the gutters. We quote commercial properties and homes alike over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our Los Lunas homes the height and the load matter more than the length. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot that raises the effective height of the house. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with compacted leaves and a clog at every elbow. Guards we have to lift and reseat before the run can be cleared. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a two-story house under a heavy tree canopy, a sag in the back run and a buildup of leaves and grit at the downspout elbows are the findings to watch for. We clean every run, flush the downspout, and report the sag in the photo set so the homeowner knows what to watch. The quote covers the whole house, and nothing new appears on the bill. We find this pattern often on homes where the rain gutter has gone too long without service.
The blockage is usually the same story. Leaves and grit settle in the trough, the drainage path closes, and rainwater runs over the front edge instead of draining out the bottom. On houses that have collected years of sediment, clogged downspouts can send water back toward the foundation. Our crew flushes every downspout to check the water flow and confirms it leaves the house. Structural damage often starts with a single overflow, and wood that stays wet can rot before anyone sees it, so we keep an eye on the fascia and the house front while we work. If the water away from your home is not moving the way it should, we say so before we leave.

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 in Los Lunas NM book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in fall after the last leaves. Across New Mexico the monsoon puts most of the year's rain down in short, violent cells, so a gutter that is clean in spring can still clog by late summer. Heavy rainfall from July through September pushes whatever is loose down into the gutter. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and in cold years the first ice shows up at the eave and the ice dams start to form. Houses that skipped the fall visit have runs that sag or pull loose before the next spring visit.
Residential properties under heavy tree cover get the three-to-four-month rhythm our customers keep, because needles and grit pack the gutters between visits. The same schedule works for residential and commercial buildings. With few or no trees, regular gutter cleaning once a year in late fall is enough for most homes. Gutter guards need fewer visits, but the surface still needs to be cleared. Once we see your lot, we tell you which tier your gutter system actually needs, and we give you a written estimate for that schedule. A gutter cleaning service booked early means a clean start, and if you would rather clean your gutters yourself, plan on ladder time and bagging. Call (866) 435-6328 or book a date and we will set your first visit.
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 from the nearest base and cleans gutters on houses across the area. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote from stories, size and tree cover. Call and we will get your gutters on the schedule, and we confirm the date on the spot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Fall visits run late October to November, so book early if you can, though we keep a few slots open each week.
We protect your home from water damage by clearing the leaves and twig litter that cause overflow, and we flush every downspout so the water flow carries away from the foundation. A small leak at a joint can start behind the trough, so the crew checks for it at the same visit. If you have gutter services due, we can check the house front too. Our Los Lunas gutter cleaning covers gutters and downspouts in one visit. This is the same work we do for homeowners across the surrounding areas, and it is how we keep your gutters working between cleanings.
Homeowners get the number from stories, size and the yard around the house, by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a written estimate.
Across New Mexico, spring visits run late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Our fall visits across Los Lunas run late October to November, after the last leaves. A fall visit before the first freeze keeps the leaf mat from holding water into winter.
Most slots come up within the week for cleaning services in Los Lunas. We confirm a date when you call, and if a same-day opening exists we will tell you when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends 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 check the water flow at the outlet. If a line runs underground and water is not leaving, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of them and turn into a wet paste. Guards cut down on gutter maintenance, but they do not replace cleaning and maintenance. We clear the surface, lift the panels and check that water is still getting in.
A gutter that is clean and still overflowing in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the job changes, and you hear about it before work starts. The gutter cleaning process starts with a call and ends with photos on your phone. 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.
