Our own crew cleans gutters in Weddington, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves bagged and 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 is overhead, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been doing this work on our Weddington jobs since spring, and most of our customers book in the spring and fall.
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 sitting in the gutters, whether that is leaves and debris or a packed run that needs more time. 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 sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a house is not a straight line of gutter, so we prefer to quote the whole house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a steep roof that we cannot walk changes how the crew works the back run. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the gutter sits higher than the number of stories suggests. A run that has started to sag holds standing water, so the water flow out of that low point is slower than the rest of the house, and the drainage stays sluggish until the run is clean again. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted muck, and the buildup takes longer to clean out than a single season of leaves. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on every run.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras. We flush every downspout, including clogged downspouts that need a second pass, and check that water is leaving at the bottom. If we find something that changes the job, a clog below ground or a run that sags, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our Weddington homeowners range from older homes with heavy leaf loads to newer homes on open lots. The most useful thing a homeowner can do before we come is tell us the stories, the size and whether the house sits under trees, and text a photo of the front of the house. Several of our Weddington customers have weddington homes with a mix of trees and open sky, which is exactly where the quote can vary most, so we ask about it up front. Residential properties and commercial jobs are priced differently, and the commercial properties we service in the area are quoted per building, not per linear foot.
Water away from the foundation is the reason for the work. A gutter that overflows drops water at the base of the house, and over time that is how structural damage starts. Keeping the system clear keeps the water where it belongs, and it costs far less than the repairs that follow when it does not.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

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 Weddington NC book regular gutter cleaning twice a year, once in late April to May after the seed and pollen drop, and again in November to early December after the last leaves come down. On our jobs, a gutter opened in May is usually packed with seeds and pollen paste at the elbows, and a gutter opened in November is full of a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia. The two visits are the simplest schedule that keeps a clog from forming, and it is the easiest way to clean your gutters before the seeds or the wet leaves set.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the downspouts fill faster between visits, because needles and grit pack the elbows and heavy rainfall backs water up before the next cleaning. Customers with that much overhead canopy are on a three to four month schedule. A house with few or no trees around it can usually get by with one visit a year in late fall. A rain gutter with gutter guards still needs the surface cleared, though less often than an open system. Watch for a leak at a joint, since a loose elbow can start one long before the trough looks full.
Freeze risk changes what the fall visit is for. In a freeze belt, the first ice can form at the eave once the trough is full of wet debris, and we have seen runs pull loose by the next spring on houses that skipped the fall visit. The point of the November cleaning is to leave a clear trough for the winter. Where freezing is rare, the fall visit is about clearing the wet leaf mat so it does not sit over the winter.
Each clog we clear is a sign of how fast your lot fills, which is the practical side of gutter maintenance. A blockage at the first downspout elbow usually means seeds or twig; a blockage further along the run usually means grit that has settled and compacted. We note both on the photo report so the next visit starts from what we found, not from a guess.
Our Weddington gutter cleaning service is simple to schedule, and our crew is booked around the wettest months, June, August and September, when rainwater tests a gutter hardest. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and every visit ends with a clean trough and a photo report.
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 clean gutters across Weddington and the surrounding areas from our nearest base, and we have worked on homes in several Weddington neighborhoods. Booking our cleaning services in Weddington is simple: you call or text, we ask for the stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees overhang the roof, and we give you a quote over the phone. A photo of the house front helps us see the layout before we arrive, though it is not required.
Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the leaf drop fill calendars at once. If you book outside those windows, a slot usually comes up sooner, so get your gutters on the schedule before the rush. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, though a clean path to the back of the house helps the crew start on time.
The homeowner gets a written quote, a confirmed date and a photo report at the end of each visit. That report is the same whether the job is on a weekday or a weekend, and it is the record you keep across all of your cleanings. Our gutter cleaning process is straightforward, and our crew is not a marketplace, so the person who quotes you is the crew that climbs the ladder.
If you already have a regular schedule with us, we keep the same crew on your house each visit, which makes it easier to spot a clog forming before it becomes water over the edge, and a clean trough makes that easier to see. That kind of continuity is how we keep your gutter system working, keep your gutters and downspouts clear, and help protect your home from water damage, including fascia rot behind a run that has started to back up. Our gutter services stay focused on cleaning and flushing, and we will say so plainly if the problem is in the landscape or the roof rather than the gutter.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with those two figures and we will tell you the number before the crew is booked.
Our customers here book in late April to May and again in November to early December. The spring visit clears the seeds and pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaf mat before the first freeze, so the trough starts each season clean.
Same-day slots are not something we can promise, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week outside the busy seasons, and a lot in a wooded landscape is worth booking early.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and keeps the ladders and debris away from your home, then sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
We flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet, and the trough is left clean. The debris removal is included, but a buried drain line that needs clearing is quoted separately, and we tell you before touching it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep the leaves out but let the needles, seed casings and grit settle on top, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. The wet mat can also rot the fascia behind it. We still clear the surface and check that water is getting in, since a guarded gutter system still needs cleaning and maintenance.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a short video of it 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, we stop, tell you what we found and wait for your approval before going further.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
