Our own crew cleans gutters in Jericho, every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off and the ground left clean, with photos of each one before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across New York our customers most often book in the spring and fall, the two windows when the seeds, pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 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. Some companies price their gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather you know the full number before we are on the ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs more equipment on site. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline and changes the drainage at the foundation. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted debris, and a clog that has been sitting for a long time takes more time to clear than a fresh one. If guards are on the house, we have to lift and reseat them. 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 our Jericho jobs, the houses with the most leaves and debris on the roof and in the trough are the ones where the first visit reveals the most. One recent job had a buildup of wet leaves that had been forming through a full season, with water running over the front edge and the outlets half blocked with leaves and twig. Once the trough was clean and the outlets flushed, the water flow was clear through the whole run, and the customer knew exactly what to watch for before the next visit. Clogged downspouts and a sag in the middle of a rain gutter run are the two things we look for first, because they tell us where water is getting away from the house and where it is pooling, and pooling is where structural damage starts.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job needs before the crew is booked. Ask for a written estimate when you call so you have the number in writing.

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, in spring and in fall, so they can clean your gutters before the seeds and leaves arrive. Across New York, late spring and late fall are the windows when the gutter does its heaviest work, carrying rainwater off the roof. Across New York, spring visits fall in late May to June, and when we open a gutter then we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows at the bottom of each pipe. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat that has to come out before the rain season.
When freeze risk is part of the picture, the fall visit matters more. A clog that sits through the first hard cold becomes an ice dam at the eave, and heavy rainfall in March or December pushes water over the edge of any gutter that is still full. On houses that skipped the fall visit we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps up with the needles and grit that pack the pipes between visits. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the gutter clean and clear of blockage. Guards need fewer cleanings, but the surface still needs to be cleared.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Ask for a written estimate on the phone so you can plan the next visit around the seasons, and call (866) 435-6328 to book a date. Residential properties and commercial properties both follow this schedule, and for a regular gutter cleaning service the calendar is the same whether you own a home or a building in Jericho NY.
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 Jericho gutter cleaning crew works across Jericho from the nearest base, so we do not name a single neighborhood to say where we have been. Booking is straightforward for every Jericho homeowner: you call or text, we ask about stories, approximate square footage and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps us quote from the image. Lead time varies with the season, and we confirm a date when you call. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early is the simplest way to get a slot.
For Jericho homes, the point of gutter maintenance is to protect your home from water damage at the roofline, the fascia and the foundation below. Gutters and downspouts that are clear carry water away from your home. A gutter that stays clean is less likely to leak at a seam or overflow onto the walkway. We flush every downspout on each visit so you know the water is actually leaving the gutter system, not just sitting in the trough. This cleaning and maintenance work is what helps you keep your gutters clean through the seasons.
We also do residential and commercial gutter services in the surrounding areas, and the same crew handles both. If you have a question about scheduling or coverage, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what is available, or text a photo and we will reply with what we see.
The price for our cleaning services in Jericho comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details, because the number changes with what is on the roof.
Most Jericho homeowners book in late spring and late fall, after the seeds and pollen drop and after the last leaves come down. If you wait past the fall visit, the first freeze can turn a clog into an ice dam at the eave, and water held in the trough can rot the fascia behind it.
Same-day gutter cleaning in Jericho is not something we promise. Most slots come up within the week. The gutter cleaning process starts with a call or text, and we confirm the date when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush the outlets and check where the water drains, including the underground lines where we can see water leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
If your house has gutter guards, they still need cleaning, although less often. Under the guards we find the surface debris on top: seeds, leaves and needles from the trees overhead that have worked through, plus the grit underneath. The guard keeps the big leaves out, but the mat that builds up on the surface still has to be kept clean for water to get in.
If the gutters still overflow after we leave, send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a debris problem, and we will tell you what it actually is.
The price you hear 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. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate, and to get your gutters on the schedule.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
