Our own crew cleans gutters for Monsey homeowners, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled off, and photos of every run 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, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves have finished. Call (866) 435-6328 for your number.
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 price gutter cleaning services by phone or text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge, so a homeowner knows the cost before the ladder goes up. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but the total is what matters on your house.
On our jobs, four things move the price most. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care on the edge. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years holds compacted muck that has to be cut out by hand, and that is where a clog turns into a sag. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on every run, and the same four things set the price on commercial properties too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and the leaves and debris hauled away are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
Most of the monsey homes we see have the same story: the gutter looked fine from the driveway, and once the crew reached the back run the buildup was packed to the outlet. We find poor water flow where the drainage should be carrying it, and on the older houses a few runs have started to sag from the weight. When clogged downspouts back up, the rain has nowhere to go but over the edge, and that is how the water ends up at the foundation. Over time that water causes rot in the fascia board behind the run. Our job is to clean the outlets and get the water away from the foundation again and to report any structural damage we see along the way.
On a recent Monsey job, the price moved because of tree cover and the back run. The customer had a two-story house with heavy leaf load, and the crew found the rear gutter packed with leaves and grit, with the downspout elbow fully blocked. Clearing it and flushing the line took the time the estimate had allowed for, and the price stayed where it was quoted. Our crew does the same thing on every house: we look at the whole gutter system before we set the price, so the number is the number. Gutter services are only worth the money if the water actually moves away from the house, and that is the standard we hold ourselves to.
| 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.
On our Monsey NY jobs, most customers book twice a year, in spring and fall: once after seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves come down. Across New York the spring visit falls in late May to June, when we open a gutter and find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In late fall the wet leaves are the problem, and debris removal takes the most time on the ladder; the gutters with a heavy blockage are the ones we are called back to in March. Snow falls in the winter here, and a clog that froze in November is the kind that sags a run by spring.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that holds to keep your gutters clear. Needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, and a rain gutter that looks clean in June can be half full of grit by September. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Gutter guards, if they are on the house, still need the surface cleared, just less often. Cleaning and maintenance here matches the schedule to what is on the roof, not to a calendar.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not guessing about the schedule, and gutter maintenance is set from that tier. Rainwater has to get away from the house in every heavy rainfall, and regular gutter cleaning keeps the blockage from building up between visits. The same check works for residential and commercial buildings alike: a clear outlet at the low end, a downspout that flows freely, and a roofline that drains instead of pooling. Residential properties on the shorter tier get their debris removal in the same visit, and the gutter cleaning service stays on the calendar. We clean your gutters on the schedule the lot calls for, and we give you the estimate in writing before the first visit.
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.
Monsey gutter cleaning runs from the nearest base, and we clean the homes on every street we can reach by ladder, plus the surrounding areas within a short drive. You call or text, and we price the job from the number of stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, plus a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. The quote comes back the same day we talk. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when most homeowners book. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
The gutter cleaning process is simple: a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text, a date that works, and a written estimate before anything is scheduled. Most residential cleanings take under an hour, and the crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Our gutter services come down to one promise: we protect your home from water damage, and we flush every downspout and make sure the clog is gone, so gutters and downspouts drain as one system. Gutter guards, a twig in the elbow or a small leak at a seam all get checked on the same visit, because the point of the call is to keep your gutters working.
Across Monsey, 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 on this page; the figure you get on the call is the figure on the invoice.
Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit comes in late October or November after the leaves are down. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we see ice that has already started to lift the shingles and sag the runs by March. A heavy rainfall that sends water over the edge is the first sign the spring visit is overdue, and cleaning and maintenance in the fall is what prevents it.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Call and we will help you get your gutters on the calendar, and our cleaning services in Monsey are booked the same way. We do not promise same-day service on this page.
No. Our 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, move any landscape edging away from the downspout outlets, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout in the gutter system is flushed and flow-tested, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, priced before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep out the leaves but let needles, seed casings, a twig or grit settle on top, so the surface still needs clearing. Gutter maintenance on a guarded run is shorter, but the outlets still need flushing.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage problem. A leak at a seam or a run that sags is a different job, and if it is left alone it can rot the fascia board behind the run, and we will tell you so. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is and where the water should be running away from your home.
It should not. The gutter cleaning process has one rule on price: if we find something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
