Our own crew cleans gutters in South Valley, every gutter run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your roof's size 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 here book in the spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaf fall are done.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price of gutter cleanings depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that ends up in a similar place, though we find the per-job quote easier to check against what the crew actually finds up top. Our gutter cleaning process is built around that one number, so homeowners here know the total before the ladder goes up.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift, and that goes into the quote before we arrive. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a clog of compacted seed casings and leaf mat that takes more time to clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and the crew carries every bag away from your home before we leave a clean drain path behind. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs here the quote usually moves most with how much of the house is under trees and how long the gutters have gone without a clean. Most of our customers get on a schedule that keeps the leaf and seed load from building up, which is the most economical way to keep each job short. Our crew provides cleaning services in South Valley, NM from that one quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number from what is actually there.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
Across New Mexico, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Our fall visit runs late October to November, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter here in May, we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows, a twig wedged at the bend, and a pollen paste at the bottom of the trough, and sometimes a clog that water has to get past. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that sag or have pulled loose by the time the snow comes. The wettest months, July through September, bring heavy rainfall, and a rain gutter that is stopped up then has no room to take the rainwater. A run that has pulled loose is where a leak, rot in the fascia and structural damage start.
Under heavy tree cover or a landscape bed against the walls, every three to four months is what keeps up, because leaves and debris build up in the gutters and leave clogged downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough on our jobs, and a clean run going into winter keeps the spring visit short. Near a busy road, or next to commercial properties with construction going on, the grit settles faster, and that moves a house up a tier too.
Guards come into it as well. A guarded gutter system needs less frequent cleaning, but gutter maintenance still means clearing the surface and flushing the drain path. Cleaning and maintenance on a guarded house is a shorter visit, not a skipped one. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutter, not a schedule off a chart, so you know when to clean your gutters next. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters to book your spring or fall 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.
We have cleaned gutters across South Valley, NM, and the crew covers the city from its nearest base. Our gutter service works for South Valley homes and residential properties, and the crew covers surrounding areas when the calendar allows. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. We ask about stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over it, then give you a number on the phone. Lead time depends on the week; we confirm the date when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of spring and fall, and gutter cleaning services booked for those windows fill first, so if you are planning on a particular month, it is worth asking early.
Every homeowner gets a call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. The crew goes around the outside of the house, leaves the yard as clean as it found it, and does not come inside. If you have a gate, leave it unlocked, and move any cars that block the runs facing the driveway. Regular gutter cleaning keeps each visit short, since there is less buildup to clear. Clear gutters keep drainage working and move the water away from the walls and foundation, and that is the whole point of the visit. The same crew and the same photo report apply to residential and commercial jobs. To get your gutters booked, text a photo of the house front first.
Our gutter services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, plus what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will give you the number on the phone, which is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the seed drop and after the leaves are down. If you wait past that, we find the runs packed and the drain pipes stopped up, and that takes longer to clear. Keep your gutters on that schedule and every visit starts from a clean run.
Lead time depends on the week for South Valley NM jobs. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, the crew checks the gutters and downspouts as one system: we flush every downspout, flow-test it, check the water flow at the outlet, and look at the roofline where the gutter meets the shingles. Flushing and flow testing help protect your home from water damage. If a line runs underground, we tell you whether water is leaving it. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes, though less often. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and under it. The crew clears the surface and checks the flow, and the guard does not replace that visit.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a blockage or a clog. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and you agree to it first. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
