Our own crew cleans gutters across Williston. We flush every downspout until the water runs clean, haul the material away, and send photos of every run before we leave. Gutter services here start with a quote built from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Spring melt and the fall leaf drop are the two windows that matter most, and we know why gutters fill up when they do.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are priced on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. A homeowner gets the number by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place, but the stories and the roof pitch decide the crew time more than the footage does.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk is the biggest change. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted material, and that takes longer than a light clean. Guards we have to lift, clean under and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of the material are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Williston homes vary, and so does what the crew finds in them. Gutters that have sat for years usually hold more compacted material, and a blockage at a downspout elbow means extra time to clear and flush the run. The price is set before we climb up, and it stays the same at the end. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the buildup from getting that far. Our gutter cleaning process is the same on residential and commercial properties: clear out what has collected, check the water flow and drainage, and confirm nothing is sagging or pulling loose before we leave. Clean your gutters on a schedule and the work stays light. If you want to know what your house will cost, call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate, or send a photo of the front of the house by text. Our crew will quote it from there.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $165 | from $215 | from $280 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $190 | from $250 | from $325 |
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.
Two cleanings a year, one in spring and one in fall, match the weather here. Across North Dakota, the spring visit falls in mid to late June, once the spring melt is over. In Williston, the fall visit falls in late September to October, after the last leaves come down and before the deep freeze. Williston gets 15.9 inches of precipitation a year and 48.2 inches of snow, falling from January through April and again from October through December. Across North Dakota, spring melt is the main event, because a winter's snowpack runs off in days with nowhere to go.
Heavy rainfall in May, June and July loads the gutters, and a rain gutter already full of seed casings and pollen cannot carry it. Under heavy tree cover, needles and grit pack the gutters between visits, and clogged downspouts are usually the first sign. A clog in a downspout pushes rainwater over the edge, and a small leak at a seam often shows up next. Freezing is a real risk here, and water held in a clogged gutter can freeze at the eave and push ice up under the shingles.
Homes nearby see the same spring melt, and the schedule should follow the trees and the traffic. Near a busy road or a construction site, grit builds up fast, and a mulch bed from the landscape can wash straight into the trough. A twig caught in a downspout will back up a run between visits, and the crew clears it on the same visit. Gutter guards cut down on visits, but a clean surface still matters, because leaves and debris sit on top of the guard even when they cannot get in. Each visit confirms the runs are clean, checks the seams, and looks at the surface on gutters and downspouts alike.
Regular gutter maintenance costs less than fixing rot in a fascia board. A gutter cleared on time helps protect your home from water damage, and it keeps water away from the foundation. Each downspout should empty away from your home. Left alone, a packed gutter can cause structural damage to the fascia and soffit, and runs start to sag. Keep your gutters clean between visits, and book early to get your gutters checked before winter. After the first visit, we tell you which schedule your lot needs, based on what we find in the trough and the downspout, not on a guess.
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 covers Williston ND and the surrounding areas, and the calendar works the same for every part of town. Booking works like this: you give us the stories, the approximate size, and whether trees hang over the gutters, and we quote the job by phone or text. If it is easy, send a photo of the house front too. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Any homeowner can call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we confirm the date when you call.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows, spring and fall, so booking early in those months helps. The crew works from the ground and the ladder, and brings a lift only where the house calls for it, and it always leaves the ground clean. If the gutters have not been cleaned in a while, the first visit may take a bit longer, and we say so on the phone, not after. Our cleaning services in Williston start with that phone call, and our cleaning and maintenance visits are priced the same way. Williston gutter cleaning booked early in spring or fall gets the first open date we can offer. Once the job is booked, the crew holds the time you agreed to and sends photos when the gutters are clean.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we come out. Our gutter services are quoted that way, and nothing gets added once the crew is on the roof. Downspout flushing and debris removal are part of the quote.
Across North Dakota, the spring visit falls in mid to late June, and here the fall visit falls in late September to October. Wait past the first hard freeze and you may find ice working at the eave and runs that have started to sag. The earlier visit keeps the gutter system clean through the snow months.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. Keeping the gutters clean between visits is easier when the date is set early. We do not promise same-day service, but we tell you the first open time as soon as we have it.
No. The crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up. We send photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. Each run gets flushed, and the crew checks that water comes out the bottom. If a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you what we see. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, quoted first.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and turn into a paste that blocks the water. Under guards we clear the surface, flush the downspout, and check that water is getting in. Mulch and trimmings from nearby beds count too.
A clean gutter that still overflows in rain usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
No, unless the job turns out to be different from what you described. If the crew finds something that changes the work, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
