Our own crew cleans gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything pulled out carried away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Seaford customers book in the spring and fall, and we are glad to put you on the calendar.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our cleaning services in Seaford are priced from three things: how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Those cleanings are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather you know the full figure before the crew is on the ladder. Any gutter maintenance you add to the visit, like a loose hanger or a small leak, is named and priced on its own line.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaf matter, a single twig jammed in an elbow can stop a whole run, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add labor. Our gutter cleaning process includes downspout flushing, flow testing and hauling away what comes out, all of it in the quote and none of it billed as an extra. Everything pulled from the trough is carried away from your home before the crew leaves. If anything we find changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice. Seaford homeowners get the same promise on every visit: a clean invoice that matches the quote.
Our work here has a few patterns you can plan around. Our crew cleaned a homeowner's gutters on a two-story house where the tree cover was heavy, and what we found was a leaf mat two inches deep and seeds packed into the downspout elbows, which is the reason the job took the time it did. Customers with heavy tree cover often hear the same thing from us: the clean is the same work, and the quote simply reflects what came out of the trough. Every job runs on the same cleaning and maintenance checklist, so the quotes compare fairly from house to house. To get your gutters priced before the season, send a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy, and tell us what you already know about the roofline. The more we know up front, the less surprises there are on the day.
| 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 Seaford customers book twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall. Precipitation runs about 42.8 inches a year, and the wettest months are March, April and December, so the gutter system carries the most rainwater right then, and a clean gutter system matters most in those months. Across New York the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and in Seaford the fall visit falls in November to early December, after the last leaves come down. When our crew opens a gutter here in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the clogged downspouts. In fall the story is leaves and debris, and in our experience the runs that sag or pull loose by March are often on houses that skipped the fall visit.
Under heavy tree cover, the gutter system needs an extra visit between the regular ones, because needles and grit pack the downspouts over time. A clean trough in late fall means little if the downspouts are full by December. A clog that sits through a wet spring can start rot in the fascia, and rot is how structural damage begins. A landscape bed packed against the foundation holds water right where it does the most harm, so each visit ends with a flush of every downspout to carry water away from the foundation. Few or no trees around the house means once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because guards hold leaves and not the grit that washes through them, and a leak at a loose seam can still show up in the wrong place. Our gutter cleaning services for commercial properties follow the same schedule logic.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what the rain gutter looked like when we opened it. Regular gutter cleaning sets the baseline, and heavy rainfall is the real test: if water comes over the edge or the drainage and water flow both slow, the buildup is ahead of schedule. Across Seaford the same pattern shows up on the houses we clean, and the first visit is the most accurate way to set the schedule for your own house. If you want to keep your gutters working through the storms, the simplest rule is to clean them on the calendar we set, not on the day the water starts pouring over.
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 Seaford NY from the nearest base. Seaford homes get the same crew and the same calendar, and the surrounding areas get the same storms. Booking starts with a written estimate by phone or text, using stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the next open window when you call. Our gutter cleaning service fills fastest in spring and fall, and the other gutter services follow the same calendar, so booking early helps. Across New York, nor'easters load a run hard, and a clog that sits through a storm can sag the gutter before anyone sees it.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you are one of the homeowners who want a clean that you can plan around, we are glad to set a date that works for your schedule. Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps a run from sagging and helps protect your home from water damage, and debris removal is part of every visit so nothing is left in the trough. Residential and commercial jobs are on the same calendar, and the crew handles residential properties the same way it handles commercial ones, one building at a time. To clean your gutters before the next storm, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will book a date.
Our gutter cleaning services are quoted from stories and size, and you get a written estimate by phone or text before the crew arrives. It is the number we charge.
Most Seaford customers book in late spring and late fall. Wait past the fall leaves and you get a wet leaf mat, a clog in the downspout elbows, and ice on the runs in winter. Freeze risk is real here, so get the gutters clear before the first hard frost.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week in the surrounding areas. A clean booking starts with one phone call. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date with you on that call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. We flush each downspout and check the water flow at the outlet, so you know rainwater is leaving the gutters and downspouts. If the drainage line underground needs clearing, that is a separate job we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. On our jobs we find seeds, leaves and needles sitting on top of the guard, and the surface still needs clearing so the water can get in.
A clean gutter that still sheets rainwater over the edge usually has a slope or downspout problem, not a blockage. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, and we will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem. Keeping the runs open is what stops the water from reaching the fascia and the foundation.
No. The price is set from the quote you get by phone, and it holds unless we find something that changes the job. In that case you hear it and agree to it before work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate, or text us a photo of the roofline to get started.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
