Our own crew will clean your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, and we are on the ladder for every job.
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 in the gutters. We give the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. A clean run and a packed one get priced from the same three things. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that gets you to a similar place, but the stories and the state of the gutters are what actually move it. This pricing describes residential properties, and if you have commercial properties, say so on the phone and we will tell you whether we take them on.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and costs more to do safely. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits higher than it looks. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes down packed with compacted leaves, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A landscape with tall shrubs against the wall adds time for ladder setup, and a packed gutter takes longer than a clean one. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
The Sleepy Hollow homes we clean tend to have a lot of leaves and debris coming off mature trees, and we find clogged downspouts where a twig or seed pod has jammed the elbow solid. Once the gutters are clear, we check the outlet so the water flow carries water away from the foundation and does not run back toward it, because good drainage at the bottom is what keeps it moving. A gutter that has a sag in it, or is full of buildup, can also be the first sign of structural damage or rot in the fascia, so we photograph every run and report what we see. A leak at a seam is the other thing we look for, so we check the joints too. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a text photo of the front of the house, which helps us give you a quote you can trust, and ends with photos of every run. We walk through the job before anyone climbs up.

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 local jobs, most customers book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows and a pollen paste that holds water. In fall it is a wet leaf mat, and that is the clog that matters before the rainwater starts.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is usually what keeps the water moving, because needles and grit make a clog in the elbows between visits. Few or no trees, and once a year in late fall is enough. Near a busy road or construction, we move closer to the quarterly schedule. Even with gutter guards on, we still clean the surface, so guards do not change the regular gutter cleaning schedule much.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs and how often to clean your gutters, and the estimate is written from what we find on the roofline and any blockage.
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 Sleepy Hollow and the surrounding areas. When you call us at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, we give you a quote from stories, size and tree cover, and we will tell you when the next slot opens. Sleepy Hollow gutter cleaning is priced from those three things, the same way for every one of our cleaning services in Sleepy Hollow. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows, late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months helps. Homeowners here get a clean run and photos of it, every time. Ask about our gutter services when you call, and if you are asking about residential and commercial work, say which it is, since commercial properties may need their own quote.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you are a homeowner and want to protect your home from water damage, keep your gutters clean and get on a regular schedule. Keeping the water away from your home is the reason gutter maintenance matters, and a rain gutter full of wet leaves is the first thing to fail in heavy rainfall, so get your gutters cleared before the wet months. Our work on residential properties covers the area, and the crew can clear gutters and downspouts while they are up there.
Each visit covers cleaning and maintenance, and our cleanings always come with a report, so a clean trough and a loose hanger get reported the same day.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Gutter cleaning service pricing in Sleepy Hollow NY works that way for every house, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Our customers in town book around those windows, and if the fall visit gets skipped, a gutter can pull away from the fascia by March under the ice.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call at (866) 435-6328. If the forecast calls for a wet week, say so when you call and we will tell you the earliest opening we have.
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 and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the outlet to see that water is leaving. Debris removal is part of the same visit, and the run is clean when we leave. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of them. We clear the surface and check that water is getting in, so the job is shorter but still needed.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
