Our own crew cleans gutters in Greenville, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, 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 hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed, pollen and leaf load have built up.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote 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. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the height and the state of the runs matter more than the length.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years where the buildup has turned to a clog, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can reach the trough. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything the crew finds changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Greenville homes in older neighborhoods often have a run that has pulled away from the fascia and holds water in the middle, which is where the sag shows up first. When we open a gutter like that we flush it and check the water flow until it runs clear at the outlet, and if the water still stands the slope is the problem, not the leaves and debris. We say so in the photo report and do not sell a second cleaning to fix a slope issue. The same logic applies to clogged downspouts: flushed from the top, checked at the bottom, and photographed either way.
Commercial properties in the area are priced per building and by how often they need the work, but the rules are the same. The crew checks the gutter line, clears the rain gutter from end to end, and checks that the run keeps water away from the building rather than letting it pool at the foundation. If the drainage is working and the trough is clean, we say so. If the structural damage is beyond cleaning, we photograph it and report it in writing; we do not repair it.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
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 Greenville customers book twice a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the bends of the pipe. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that makes a clog in the trough, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs sagging once water has frozen and pulled them loose. A gutter that is clean after the spring visit and full of leaves by the fall visit is normal for most lots here.
Under heavy tree cover, where big limbs hang over the roofline, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and the rainwater backs up at the eave. A house with few or no trees in the landscape needs a visit once a year in late fall, which is enough to clear the year's drop. Houses with gutter guards still need the surface kept clean, usually less often than open gutters but not never.
We run the same schedule for residential and commercial jobs in the area, and for residential properties the frequency is set by what is on the roof and around it. A house with a lot of blockage from a nearby tree or a busy road gets a visit more often than one that sits in the open, and summer storms bring heavy rainfall, with July through September the wettest months here. Clean your gutters on a schedule that fits the lot, not on a calendar date that fits us. Greenville NC homes with heavy canopy and a tight budget ask us for an estimate on the regular schedule first, then adjust once they see what comes out of the gutter. Regular gutter cleaning service keeps the water moving and the fascia dry.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, with photos of the trough before and after it is clean, so you can see it yourself.
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 Greenville and the surrounding areas, and we handle cleaning services in Greenville from the nearest base. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the stories, the rough size and whether trees hang over the house and shed twig and limb debris, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the job. Lead time depends on the week, and we give you the actual date when you call.
The busiest windows on our calendar are the spring and fall visits, so book early if you want to get your gutters done in a particular week. Cleanings in those windows tend to fill first, and a slot in the off months is easier to get. Whether you need one visit or a regular schedule of gutter maintenance to keep your gutters and downspouts clear, we set the date around your call. Every homeowner gets a written confirmation with the time window, and the crew leaves the gutters clean. Our gutter services cover the whole gutter system from the eave to the downspout outlet, and we flush every downspout on the way down.
If a gutter has already let water leak into the fascia, the crew will tell you, photograph it and send the report, so you know whether to protect your home from water damage with a separate job. We cover the Greenville gutter cleaning side of that report and leave the rest to you.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before you book. Once you have the quote, the price holds unless something on the roof changes the job, and we tell you before we start.
Most of our customers book late spring and late fall. In spring the seed and pollen are packed into the gutter, and in fall the leaf load turns to a wet mat. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs sagging once water has frozen and pulled them loose.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and move cars away from your home if they block the runs.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check the outlet. If the water is not leaving through an underground line, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep leaves out but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and pack the trough, so we clear the surface, flush the downspouts and reseat the guards. That is cleaning and maintenance on the same visit, and it keeps a guarded gutter clean where it counts.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem, and water left running down the fascia is how rot starts. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Not unless something changes the job, and if it does you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
