Our own crew comes out to clean gutters for local homeowners. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, haul it away, and send photos of every run after the clean. The price comes from your stories, your roof size and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across New York, most customers book a visit in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and we will quote you from there.
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. A homeowner gets it over the phone at (866) 435-6328 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, and we are happy to talk through either way of counting before you decide.
What moves the number on our jobs is usually plain to see once the crew is on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more gear. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters that have not had a clean in years come down packed with compacted debris, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add their own minutes. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Homes here range from ones with no trees over the roof to houses with heavy canopy close in, and the second kind is where the price tends to climb. A twig and leaf load packs the runs faster, and heavy rainfall in June, September and December pushes that material down the downspout. A house with a clean run and little overhang is a quicker job. A quick photo of the front of the house by text tells us early what to expect for your gutter cleaning process, and it lets us give you a number before the crew is on the ladder.
Quotes for cleaning services in Tarrytown come out of the same three measures every time, so you can compare a figure from us with what you have been told before. Gutter maintenance is priced from those measures too. Two cleanings a year are priced the same way as one, and every cleaning and maintenance visit includes downspout flushing and haul-away. A leak at a seam or joint is photographed and raised before work starts. Bags go away from your home on the same truck, so none of it ends up on the lawn. If you want to get your gutters on a regular plan, ask us to walk through the price line by line and we will.
| 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.
Across New York, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Most customers book our gutter cleaning services for spring and fall together, two visits a year. Around here, the fall visit lands in late October to November, after the last leaves come down, and that regular cleaning rhythm holds up well for most houses across Tarrytown.
A gutter doing its job carries water away from the house, and clogged downspouts stop doing that. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the gutter and the downspout elbows. In fall it is leaves and debris, plus a wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we tend to see runs sagging or pulling loose by March. A single clog at a downspout elbow is usually where that starts, and a flush at the elbow clears it before a run sags. A sagging run left through winter can turn into structural damage at the fascia, and the wood behind it can start to rot. The first ice of a winter here brings ice dams at the eave, and a gutter full of wet muck is where those dams start. Once the run is full, drainage stops at the outlet and water goes over the front edge instead. Freeze-belt conditions here mean a clean fall run is worth more than it looks on the calendar.
How often a house needs a visit depends on what hangs over it, and on how the whole gutter system is built. Under heavy tree cover, or where a landscape bed sits right under the eave, the needles and grit pack every downspout between visits, and our customers in that situation are on every three to four months. Near a busy road or active construction the grit is finer and comes faster, so the same schedule applies. A rain gutter with few or no trees above it usually stays clean enough for one visit a year in late fall. Gutter guards change the work but not the need entirely: we still clear the surface buildup on top of the guard, and the schedule is usually a little longer than for an open gutter system. Commercial properties go on the same tiers, scheduled per building.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and from there we keep your gutters on that schedule. Staying on it keeps a clean gutter from turning into a sagging one, and it is how you protect your home from water damage across Tarrytown.
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.
We cover Tarrytown, NY and the surrounding areas, and the crew works the older blocks with deep roof lines the same way it works the newer streets with simpler gutters. Booking starts with a call at (866) 435-6328 or a text, and we take stories, size and tree cover into account. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time is set by our calendar, and we will tell you the next open slot when you call.
Across New York, spring visits fill up in late May through June, and fall visits fill from late October through November. Tarrytown homes get the most choice of date when they book spring and fall early, before the calendar tightens.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. To get your gutters ready for the crew, unlock the side gate and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
We do residential and commercial work the same way. Commercial properties get scheduled per building, and residential properties get a quote per house.
Our gutter services cover both kinds of property. Tell us whether you want one gutter cleaning service or regular gutter cleaning on a set schedule, and we will price both. Before any run is cleaned we check the water flow and the drainage at each downspout, because a sag or a buildup of leaves is where a clog begins. You can clean your gutters on the calendar you choose, and we will keep to it.
The number comes from your stories and your square footage, and we give an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the stories, the rough size, and whether trees hang over the gutters, and we will give you the same figure we charge. Every homeowner has that number before the crew arrives.
Across New York, spring visits land in late May or June. For a house in Tarrytown NY, the fall visit lands in late October or November. Skip the fall clean and the leaf mat and the first ice tend to leave runs sagging by March, since a clog left that long is how the trouble starts. The fall visit is the one we would not skip on a house with any trees.
Same-day depends on what the calendar holds that day. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call, so nothing is promised that we cannot keep.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout, before and after the clean, to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up.
Yes. On every visit we check the gutters and downspouts together, flush every downspout, and watch the water until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the drainage at the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes. A guarded gutter can look clean from the ground, but even with gutter guards we still find twigs threading through, seed casings and pollen mat on top, and grit settling underneath. Once that mat is wet, rain runs off the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards.
A clean gutter that still sheets rainwater over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video taken in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The number you get on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
