Our own crew cleans gutters in Greenburgh, flushing every downspout, checking that it runs clear, hauling the debris away and sending photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your roof size and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Greenburgh customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been on these roofs through both seasons.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
For Greenburgh homeowners, the price depends on how many stories the house has, its 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. Gutter cleaning services in Greenburgh NY are priced from those inputs, not from a flat rate. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of gutter, but on our jobs the stories and the access matter more than the footage alone. A clean run with no tree cover is the cheapest version of this job.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep roofline that is not safe to walk changes the crew's setup, and a walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves and a twig or a clog in the downspout elbow that takes longer to clear. Gutters that were clean at the last visit take a fraction of the time. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Gutters that have just come through heavy rainfall are often full of wet leaves, which are heavier to clear. A loose seam that has started to leak is noted in the photos, not fixed on the spot. Downspout flushing, water flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras, and the quote covers gutters and downspouts on every run. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice, so you hear it and agree to it first.
When a homeowner gets a quote from us, the crew asks about the stories, the rough size of the roof and whether trees hang over it. A photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us confirm the number before the truck rolls. On our Greenburgh jobs we see that gutter cleaning is a slightly different job from gutter maintenance done on a schedule, because the buildup depends on the trees and the rain. A house with a clean maintenance history tends to come out in better shape than one that has been waiting, and the crew can tell the difference from the first run. Regular cleanings help protect your home from water damage, and the price is set once, before the ladders go up. Debris is bagged and hauled away from your home before the crew leaves. Our cleaning and maintenance work follows the same rules: the number you hear is the number you pay, and the crew does not add surprise charges after the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your number.

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 to clean your gutters, in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. Spring seed drop can leave clogged downspouts within a few weeks, and a clean spring visit keeps the fall visit short. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by March. Runs that go too long without a visit start to sag, and a sag holds water. On a wooded lot, the landscape drives the schedule more than the calendar does.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps the system working, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A house with few or no trees usually needs only one cleaning a year, in late fall. Gutter guards change the work but not the need entirely: the surface still has to be cleared, and the guards need to come off so the trough underneath can be checked. Our gutter system work on guarded roofs is less frequent, but it is never zero. Rainwater that sits in a full trough has nowhere to go. During heavy rainfall, a single blockage in one downspout can push water over the front edge of the whole run. A clean trough holds less standing water between rains. The point of every visit is to keep your gutters working and keep water away from the fascia and the foundation.
The gutter cleaning process on our crews is the same at each visit: the surface is cleared of leaves and needles, every run is cleaned by hand, and we flush every downspout and watch it until it runs clear. After a wet week, we check the outlets first. We send photos of the results, so you can see each run clean before the truck leaves. Across Greenburgh the houses that stay on schedule rarely come back with rot at the fascia or water running behind the rain gutter, which is where the structural damage starts when water runs down the wall instead of away. Our cleaning services in Greenburgh follow the calendar your lot needs, not the calendar we would prefer. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and you can decide from there.
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 service works across Greenburgh NY and surrounding areas, including Greenburgh homes, from the nearest base, and we book slots on a first-come basis as the calendar fills. The quote comes by phone or text from your stories, your roof size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date on the call before anyone is scheduled. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a slot.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows: late spring, after the seed drop, and late fall, after the leaves. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule in those windows, call early. Between those windows there is usually more room. Residential and commercial work both get the same crew standard. Our residential properties and commercial properties are cleaned to that standard too, and our gutter services are set up so the crew can move from one property to the next without a long gap on the schedule.
If you are not sure whether your house needs regular gutter cleaning or a single visit, ask us on the call and we will tell you what we see from the first look. For a lot with poor drainage that has already had water over the edge, a slope or capacity problem can be the real cause, and we will say so. If your gutters already run clean after a rain, the problem may be slope, not gutter buildup. Our debris removal is part of every visit, and the photos are sent before the truck leaves.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range on the page because the stories and the load set the number.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, and those are the right times to clean your gutters, when the seed or the leaves start to drop. In spring we clear the seed and pollen; in fall we clear the leaves before the first freeze, which is when the ice dam risk starts on our jobs. If you wait past the fall visit, the runs can sag by March.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Even a clean gutter gets the full run and the downspout flush.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos 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 watch it until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
On our jobs guarded gutters still collect leaves, needles and seed casings on top of the guard, and grit can settle underneath. Guards do not keep your gutters clear on their own. The surface gets cleared, the guards are lifted, and the trough is checked for the buildup that keeps water from getting in.
A clean gutter that still spills in rain usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. If it spills during heavy rainfall, send us a photo or short video and we will 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 it and agree to it before work starts, not after. 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.
