Our own crew will clean gutters in Long Beach, flushing every run and flow-testing it, hauling everything away, and sending photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover sits over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across New York, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December.
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 is sitting in your gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, though the method is different.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaf mat, and guards we have to lift and reseat. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
Residential gutters on Long Beach homes usually come down to a clog at the elbow, a sag in a run, or buildup that has held water long enough to change the water flow and slow the drainage. Work on commercial properties follows the same logic at a larger scale, scheduled per building. We keep both residential and commercial jobs on the same standard: clean your gutters to the outlet, check where the water goes, and take the material away from your home. Regular gutter cleaning on a set schedule is usually cheaper over a year than waiting for water to spill over the edge, and the spring and fall visits are where we see the most change between jobs.
We offer gutter cleaning services in long beach for residential properties, and the quote follows the house in front of us. Text a photo of the front of the house if it is easy, and we can usually tell you the number before we call back.

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 long beach homeowners we work with book two cleanings a year, once in the late spring after seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. 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 and seams that leak.
Under heavy tree cover, a gutter in long beach ny will clog every three to four months because needles, twig and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits, and clogged runs overflow first. Houses with few or no trees do well with one clean a year in late fall, with the gutters left clear for winter. Gutters with guards still get checked, less often, with the surface still cleared, since guards stop leaves but not the grit that washes through.
Gutter services that run on a schedule catch the blockage before rainwater reaches the fascia and the roofline, and a schedule helps protect your home from water damage. Regular visits keep your gutters clear and keep water away from the foundation. On every visit we flush every downspout, and after the first visit we give you an estimate and tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 across long beach ny, and we can usually get a visit on the calendar within the week. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and no homeowner needs to be home for the exterior work.
Across New York, the spring window runs late May to June, and the fall window runs November to early December, so the earlier you call in those months, the better your choice of date. The crew covers long beach and surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we can book a long beach gutter cleaning visit or a twice-a-year schedule in one call. Ask about gutter maintenance plans if your home sits under trees, and we will walk you through what that looks like as a gutter cleaning process.
If you want to get your gutters on the calendar before the next heavy rainfall, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline. Plenty of homes with gutter guards still need the visit, since guards help with leaves but do not stop a sagging run or a dripping seam, and we check both on every visit. We handle the cleaning and maintenance end to end, keep the schedule visible on your phone, and leave the gutters clean and the water running away from your home when we go.
The number comes from the stories and size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range here, because the same two-story house can land quite differently depending on how much is in the gutters. The number we quote is the one on the invoice.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. If the fall visit gets skipped, we see runs that have sagged under ice by March in the houses that waited. Houses under heavy tree cover book every three to four months, before clogged downspouts send water over the edge.
Most slots across long beach come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day depends on the calendar that week, so call (866) 435-6328 and ask when you book.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up. The landscape is left as we found it.
Yes, we flush every run and check that water leaves at the outlet, so the drainage is clear. Clearing an underground line is a separate job and gets quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find leaves and debris, seed casings and needles sitting on top of the guard in your gutter system and washing into the trough. The surface still needs a clean, though less often than an open gutter.
A rain gutter that is clean and still spills over the edge has a slope or outlet problem, not a blockage, and it will not move water away from the house. Left alone, that spill can rot the fascia and cause structural damage. Send us a short video 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. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree before they start. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are already in the number. Commercial properties are quoted by building before any work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
