Our own crew will clean your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and grit 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 book in spring and fall, when the seed and pollen drop ends and when the last leaves come down. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for High Point homes depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but on our jobs the count of stories and the condition of the gutter matter more than the length.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves and grit, and a gutter that is sagging or has a clog at the elbow takes longer to clear. Guards on a rain gutter that we have to lift and reseat add time as well.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and hauling away the leaves and debris are included in the price and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice. If we find a sag, a loose hanger, rot in the fascia, water running behind the fascia or anything that looks like structural damage, we photograph it and tell you what we saw, and you decide what to do about it.
On our jobs the houses with the heaviest tree cover tend to collect the most buildup in the elbows, because leaves and grit settle into the same spots every season. On one recent job in a neighborhood with heavy tree cover, what we found was a gutter run with a clog at the first elbow, clogged downspouts below it, and water running over the front edge. Clearing the run brought the water flow back to normal and sent the water away from the fascia. That is the kind of job where the stories and the tree cover decide the number, not a guess.
Gutter cleaning services for commercial properties are quoted separately per building and scheduled to the site, and the same rule applies: the number on the phone is the number on the invoice. We also clean residential gutters for the homeowner, and the quote comes the same way for both.
| 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 customers in High Point NC book twice a year, in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves have come down. When we clean a gutter here in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall we find the leaf mat and the grit that washed in with it, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see sagging runs and loose hangers by the next season.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, our customers are on a tighter schedule than twice a year, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. Near a busy road or a construction site the schedule tightens for the same reason, and regular visits keep debris removal quick. Gutter guards cut the frequency, but the surface still needs a clean.
On our jobs, a gutter with a blockage at the outlet and water running over the edge is usually the first sign that the roofline has backed up. Clearing the run and checking how much gunk came out tells us which schedule the house actually needs, and the estimate we give after that holds for the next visit. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the rainwater moving away from the fascia, the soffit and the foundation, and it catches a clog before it becomes a leak.
Between our visits, if you clean your gutters yourself, look at the outlets after every storm. After the first visit, this gutter cleaning service tells you which tier your lot actually needs. We schedule residential and commercial jobs the same way, and residential properties usually land on the twice-a-year plan unless the trees say otherwise.
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 cleans gutters across High Point and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we keep a regular route through town so the calendar stays consistent. High Point gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm a date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Two windows fill our calendar every year: the late spring window after the seed drop and the late fall window after the leaves. If you want a slot in either, call early. A homeowner who waits tends to get a later date, and our cleanings in those windows go fast, so the earlier the booking, the easier it is to get the date you want.
Keeping gutters clear is one of the simplest ways to protect your home from water damage, and a regular schedule keeps the rain moving away from the house. Our gutter services clean the whole run, and one visit handles the leaf load, the seed drop and the grit after a storm. We keep your gutters and downspouts clear, flush every downspout, and tell you about anything else before it gets done. If the gutters are full, or the water is going over the edge, call us and we will tell you what we find.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters and how the whole gutter system drains.
Most of our customers book gutter maintenance in late spring and late fall. In the spring we find seeds and pollen paste in the elbows, and in the fall we find the leaf mat. If you wait past the fall, the runs can sag by the next season, so get your gutters on the schedule before the leaves come down.
Lead time varies by the week for our cleaning services in High Point, so most slots come up within the week and we confirm a date when you call. Call us and we will tell you what we have open.
No. Our gutter cleaning process runs entirely outside, the crew does not come inside, and the yard is left clean. Photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and we check the drainage at the outlet. If a line drains underground and needs more work, we tell you before anything else is done, and that is quoted separately.
Yes. Under gutter guards we find grit, seed casings, needles and the odd twig that sit on top of the guard, and water can still run over the edge if that mat builds up. We clear the surface, check the flow, and point out any landscape that drops mulch toward the gutter so the water runs away from your home.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a leaf problem. Send us a photo or a short video during heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is.
Only if the job changes, and if it does you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts. Cleaning and maintenance are quoted as one number, and the number 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.
