Our own crew cleans gutters in Kings Park. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, haul the leaves away, and leave every run clean. You get photos on your phone before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most customers book in spring and fall, and we have been on those roofs every season since.
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, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but the total is what matters to you and that is what we give you up front.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the gutter line, so the back run sits higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaf mat, and the buildup under it has to be cleared by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. Downspout flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. In one neighborhood, a two-story house with a heavy canopy over the back run had the downspout packed to the elbow with wet leaf mat, and the quote came in higher than the front-yard estimate because the crew had to clear the back run from the top. The job ran long but stayed on the number we gave on the phone. Every house is different, which is why we ask about the trees and the stories first. Text us a photo of the front of the house if it is easy and we can usually give you a number on the same call.
Kings Park homes that have run clogged downspouts for a season often show a leak at the foundation, water seeping near it, or rot starting at the fascia, which is exactly the kind of structural damage we would rather catch early. Leaves and debris left sitting in the trough also add weight. A run that starts to sag pulls loose from the fascia, and a twig lodged in the outlet slows the water flow enough to start the whole cycle.
Commercial properties follow the same pattern: a building with a flat roof and internal drains is priced per building, not per run, and we say that number before the crew goes up. Every rain gutter on the building gets the same photos before the crew leaves. Ask for a written estimate and we will send one.
| 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.
Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in November to early December, after the last leaves come down and before the ice sets in. Most of our customers book both, because regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the system moving. On our jobs the spring visit clears the seed casings and pollen paste that pack the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat that sits in the trough and freezes in place. When we open a gutter here in May we often find a blockage at the first elbow that the rainwater has been fighting all winter. When we open one in November on a house that skipped the fall visit, we see runs that sagged under the ice by March. A clean gutter going into winter gives the melt somewhere to go.
The schedule depends on your lot. Under heavy tree cover we see customers every three to four months, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits, and a single clog can run water over the roofline during heavy rainfall. Near a busy road or an active construction site, dust and grit do the same. On a lot with a sparse landscape and few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the system moving, and residential properties with that setup rarely need more. Guards extend the interval, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters stay on a shorter schedule than the bare numbers suggest. Ask us to clean your gutters on this schedule and we will write the next date down.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the next date in writing so there is no guessing. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the first visit, or text a photo of the house so we can see what we are walking up to.
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 has been doing Kings Park gutter cleaning for a while now, and the homes we clean most often sit under the older tree lines where leaves build up fast. Our gutter services reach the surrounding areas from our nearest crew base, and we work on residential and commercial buildings across Kings Park. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a quote: we ask for your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover you have, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Every homeowner gets an honest date when they call rather than one we cannot keep, because lead time depends on the week.
The calendar fills in two busy windows every year, late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months keeps you from waiting for a slot on our gutter cleaning service. Our cleanings start with a call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you are dealing with water damage already, tell us when you call and we will move the visit up where we can. A cleaned gutter helps protect your home from water damage, and it keeps your gutters and downspouts carrying water away from your home. We leave every run clean. Keep your gutters working through the season and the rest of the house stays dry. To get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the eaves, or book a date with the crew.
The number 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 a two-story with a heavy canopy is a different job from one with no trees. Once we have the three things we need, the number we quote is the number we charge.
Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we often find ice that has already sagged a run, and the earlier fall visit keeps ice dams off the eave.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call so you can get your gutters cleaned on a day you can plan around. We do not promise same-day unless the crew has an open slot that day, and if it does we will tell you when you book.
No. Our cleaning services in Kings Park are exterior work, so the 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 watch the water flow until it runs clear at the bottom. 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.
Yes, but less often. On our jobs the guards hold the leaves off, while needles, seed casings and grit settle on top and turn to a paste once it rains. Guards do not end gutter maintenance. We clear the surface, flush the downspout and reseat the guards, and the job runs shorter than an open gutter system.
A gutter system that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Not unless something changes the job, and if it does you hear it before work starts and agree to it first. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the photos of every run arrive before the truck leaves. That goes for every cleaning and maintenance visit we book.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
