Our own crew cleans gutters in Lexington, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, 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 is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Lexington customers book in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we confirm the date while you are on the line.
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 an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies quote by the linear foot, but on our jobs the height and access of the house matter more than the length of the run. If you are comparing cleaning services in Lexington, ask each company how it prices the whole job, since a gutter exists to carry water away from the house.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk needs a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years holds a heavy buildup of leaves and debris, and a clog that old means clogged downspouts that take longer to flush. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. Downspout flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and haul-away are included and never billed as extras, and we check the water flow at the outlet after every flush. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Lexington homes show the same pattern: tree cover and height decide the number, not the length of the gutter. A run that has been left too long starts to sag, and water that spills over the edge for a season can lead to structural damage in the fascia. Gutter cleaning services priced this way keep surprises off the bill, and we would rather give you the number on the phone than revise it on the ladder. The same three inputs apply to commercial properties, where a longer roofline and extra stories change the number.
| 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.
On our Lexington NC jobs the two windows we plan around are spring and fall. Across North Carolina the spring visit runs late April to May, after seed and pollen drop. The fall visit in Lexington lands late October to November, after the last leaves. When we open a gutter in late spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and a gutter that looked clean from the ground is packed inside. In November the leaves that come down are soggy, and a run that skipped the fall visit can sag over the winter. Every clog we clear at the roofline started as a small blockage that nobody saw from the driveway.
Under heavy tree cover the schedule has to run more often than twice a year, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A single twig lodged in an elbow is enough to start a buildup that holds water against the fascia, and that is how wood rot gets started. With few or no trees, one clean each year in late fall is enough for most houses. Guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs a clean, and rainwater still needs a clear path to the outlet. Our residential and commercial calendars run on the same logic, so commercial properties and residential properties with a busy road or construction next door get the closer schedule.
This is the cadence we would schedule for a regular gutter cleaning service at a home or a building. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a walk around the roof, a check of the whole gutter system and a look at the lot. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and you can clean your gutters on that schedule without guessing. Debris removal is handled on every visit, so the landscape beds under the runs stay clear and the spring and fall calls stay simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your gutters, and we will book a date for your spring or fall clean while you are on the line.
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.

Lexington gutter cleaning follows the seasons on one calendar, because our crew has worked across Lexington on gutters and downspouts of every size. Booking starts with a quote from stories, size and tree cover. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front to book a date, and we confirm the lead time on the line. A homeowner does not need to be home for the visit, and we call before we come. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills first.
We cover the surrounding areas from the same schedule, and the crew treats each house the same way: clean the gutters first, every downspout flushed, and photos on your phone before we leave. A clean gutter helps protect your home from water damage, and regular cleanings catch a small leak at the seam before it reaches the ceiling. Gutter guards hold back most of the leaves, but a twig or a film of grit still gets through, so the visit still counts. Keep your gutters working through heavy rainfall, and we will flush every downspout so the water leaves the house instead of pooling at the foundation. Gutter services are quoted for the house in front of us, and regular cleaning and maintenance on the schedule you pick holds the same number on the invoice.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text for any house across Lexington. We do not quote a range without those facts. To compare cleaning services in Lexington, ask each company how it prices the whole job.
Our fall visit in Lexington lands late October to November, and across North Carolina the spring visit runs late April to May, so the gutter goes into winter clean. Book before the wettest months, July through September, and you get your gutters clear before heavy rainfall starts. If you wait past the fall visit, we find runs that sag over the winter, and in a freezing winter that can mean ice at the eave. Regular gutter maintenance catches a sagging run before it becomes a repair.
Same-day service in Lexington depends on whether the calendar has an opening that day, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. Our gutter cleaning process runs outside, the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves, so you see a clean job either way. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. We set ladder stand-offs so no feet land in the landscape beds under the runs.
Yes, we flush every downspout in the gutter system and check that water is leaving at the outlet and running away from your home. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out, but needles, seeds and grit still settle on top and under the panels. We lift the guards, clean underneath and reseat them, and leave the trough clean. Guards cut the cleaning and maintenance down, but they do not remove it, so get your gutters on a schedule that fits the trees.
A clean gutter that still spills in the rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a clog problem. Water that keeps spilling can lead to wood rot and structural damage in the fascia and soffit, so send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
