Our own crew cleans your gutters, flushes each run and flow-tests it, hauls the debris away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across New York, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we keep the calendar open for both.
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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the house is what counts, not the footage of trough. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk is the first thing that moves the quote, because the crew needs a boom or scissor lift and more time up top. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot can put the back run far higher off the ground than the front, and that changes the setup. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed solid with old leaves and grit, and the clog is a longer job than a light seasonal clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat also add time, and we say so before we start.
Flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it before work begins, never on the invoice. A blockage in an underground line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Massapequa homes tend to have one of two patterns: a steady seasonal clean on a modest house, or an older house where the clog has been building for seasons and the drainage shows it at the eave. In both cases the first visit tells us what the gutter system needs, and we put that in writing. Commercial properties follow the same logic but are quoted per building, with the access and height worked out for the whole building.
Gutter cleaning services are priced to what we find, and what we find is the leaves and debris that have packed the trough, the sag in a run that has held standing water, and the buildup that has choked the water flow in the rain gutter. Left alone, clogged downspouts push water back under the shingles and into the fascia, and that is where the structural damage starts. We would rather clear it on a schedule than quote the repair that follows. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what your roof needs to keep the water away from your home.
| 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.
Most of our customers book two cleanings a year, in the spring and fall. Across New York, the spring visit comes after the seed and pollen drop, late May to June, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves, in November or early December, before the first hard freeze. On houses in Massapequa NY, a gutter opened in late spring has seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under ice by March.
Freeze risk is real in this part of New York, and a clog left over winter becomes an ice dam at the eave, which lifts shingles from underneath. Massapequa gets about 42.8 inches of precipitation a year, with March, April and December the wettest months, so heavy rainfall tests a full trough hardest then. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough spills over the front edge and soaks the fascia. A rain gutter that has been full all winter can pull loose from the fascia before spring. The fall visit is the one that prevents that, and it is the visit we push hardest.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps up, because needles and grit pack the outlets faster than a twice-a-year visit can clear them. Near a busy road or active construction, the same tighter schedule applies. Landscape work nearby, like fresh mulch or trimming, sends more into the trough for a few weeks, so the schedule tightens then. Houses with few or no trees near the house do well on one visit a year in late fall. Each residential and commercial job gets the same check: we look at the roofline, find any blockage at the outlets, and give you an estimate for the tier that fits. Gutter guards reduce how often the trough fills, but they still need the surface cleared and the drains checked, so they move the schedule out a little, not off it.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. A house with one mature tree on the back side is not the same job as a lot surrounded by heavy canopy, and we do not guess. We give residential properties the tier that fits the lot, not a default. We write down what we found, photo by photo, so the next visit starts from the same record.
A gutter cleaning service on a set schedule is the cheapest way we know to keep a clog from becoming a leak, and regular gutter cleaning is how we set that rhythm up at the first visit. The rule is simple: clean your gutters on the plan, not on a reminder, and you will rarely need debris removal beyond what the crew already hauls.
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 Massapequa. Massapequa gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Our gutter services run the same way every time. We confirm a date when we call, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for an exterior clean, though the crew will need the side gate open.
Spring and fall fill our calendar faster than any other stretch of the year, so book early if you want a particular week. Outside those windows slots tend to open up sooner, and we tell you the first open day when you call. Keep your gutters and downspouts working by booking the spring and fall cleanings together, and flush every downspout while the crew is up there so the water flow stays clear all season. A twig or a seed casing stuck in an elbow can stop a downspout cold, so the crew checks each one. If you have gutter guards, the crew lifts the panels and clears the surface too, because a wet leaf mat on a guard is how a small leak starts.
A clean gutter system helps you protect your home from water damage that starts at the eave and works inward. Every homeowner here gets the same crew and the same photo record as every other job, whether it is one house or a commercial building. We handle residential and commercial work on one schedule, and each homeowner sees the photos before the truck leaves. If your house is in the surrounding areas and you are not sure we reach you, call (866) 435-6328 and we will say so plainly.
The number comes from stories, square footage and the state of the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. Our cleaning services in Massapequa are priced the same way for every house, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a written estimate.
Most of our customers book late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves. Heavy rainfall tests a full trough hardest, so the fall visit matters most. If you wait past December on a house that has not been cleaned, we usually find ice-related sag by March. If you did landscape work recently, mention it when you text us a photo of the house front and we will tell you when to get your gutters done first.
We book across Massapequa, and same-day depends on the calendar that week, so we check it when you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date before we come out.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the lift is up.
Yes, every run is flushed, and we check that water leaves at the outlet and runs away from your home. If an underground drain line is blocked we tell you, but clearing a buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone starts it.
Yes, a gutter system with guards still needs gutter maintenance: the surface cleared and the drains checked. On our jobs the leaf mat and grit sit on top of the guard and the water never gets in, so the cleaning and maintenance schedule is a little longer but not gone.
A clean gutter that still spills over the edge in rain has a slope or drain-size problem, not a cleaning problem, and left alone that water can rot the fascia. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The gutter cleaning process is set up so the number does not move, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts, never on the invoice. The number we quote on the phone is the number you pay.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
