Our own crew cleans gutters in Bexley OH, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run sent to you before we leave, with every run coming out clean. 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 the invoice. Across Ohio, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, so the calendar fills up at those two points each year.
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. We give an estimate over the phone at (866) 435-6328, or by text, from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the building itself is what sets the figure, so we price the house, not the run. Most of our quotes are for bexley homes, but residential and commercial properties are both priced from the building itself, and commercial properties get confirmed after we have looked at them.
What moves the quote is what the crew actually finds once it is on the ladder. A third story, or a pitch too steep to walk, means lifts and more time. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eaves, and that changes the set-up. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and debris, and a buildup like that takes longer to clear than a yearly clog. Where clogged downspouts are holding water at the top of the run, the crew checks the water flow at the outlet, and if it does not carry water away from the house you hear about it first. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and the crew leaves every run clean. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Bexley jobs, the biggest swing has come from tree cover and access rather than from the house itself. One customer with a two-story home and nothing overhead needed a short visit, while a neighbor a few streets over had heavy canopy, a backyard with no side gate and a three-story back run, and that job took the crew most of a morning. Same city, same crew, very different quote, because the lot decided it. We walk the property with you by phone or text before we commit to a number, and a photo of the front of the house is usually all we need to narrow it down. A rain gutter that has started to sag gets photographed and reported to you, not repaired on the spot.
| 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 Bexley OH jobs most customers book two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Ohio the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and when our crew opens a gutter in Bexley at that point we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall it is a wet mat of leaves and debris that has been sitting along the roofline for weeks, and a blockage like that, or a clog that has been left to set, gets worse after heavy rainfall. Houses that skip the fall visit tend to show the damage by spring, with runs that sag under the weight of ice and water, and structural damage and fascia rot starting behind the gutter.
Under heavy tree cover on residential properties, needles, grit and the odd twig pack the downspout between visits, so those lots are on a three to four month rhythm. With few or no trees over the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards change the schedule a little, since they keep most leaves out, but the surface still needs clearing and the flow still needs checking, so we keep guarded systems on a regular visit rather than stretching them out. Good gutter maintenance means you clean your gutters on a schedule rather than waiting for water to spill over the edge, and the goal is to keep the gutters clean at the downspout elbows, where the buildup starts. Water that spills over the edge soaks the landscape around the foundation, and a leak behind the gutter often shows up later as a stain on the ceiling.
The first visit is the one that tells us what your lot needs. After we have seen the gutters, the eaves and the drainage, we tell you which schedule your property belongs on, and you can decide from there. A homeowner who starts from a clean gutter, with rainwater running off the roof and out the downspout, has an easier time staying on that schedule. Our crew is on call for a regular gutter cleaning service on that schedule and will set the next date before we leave.
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 Bexley, and we keep a route open for Bexley homeowners. Any homeowner who wants a clean system before the next storm can ask for the next open date. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text for your gutter system, based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. If you have gutter guards, say so at that point, because the crew lifts and reseats them as part of the visit. From there we pick a date, call before we arrive and confirm the visit the day before. Nobody needs to be home for the cleaning itself, but keep the side gate unlocked so the crew can get the ladders around. If you want to keep your gutters running through the next storm, or get your gutters ready before the next big rain, the quote is the easy first step.
The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest, and the bexley gutter cleaning schedule is tightest then. If you want a slot in one of those windows, call (866) 435-6328 early and we will tell you what is open. Outside those windows, lead time is usually short, and a heavy rainfall is a good reason to call sooner, since that is when the overflow shows. Our crew covers surrounding areas from a single base, so a quote for a home in one part of Bexley is the same crew and the same process as any other part of the city, and the yard is left as clean as it was found.
Once you book, the gutter cleaning process is simple: a quote you can check, a visit that will flush every downspout and checks where the water goes, and photos sent to your phone before we leave, with every trough left clean. Each visit is built to keep your gutters moving water away from your home, and to protect your home from water damage without a lot of back-and-forth. It is the same routine we use for every gutter services job we take on in town.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. There is no fixed figure we can give without knowing those two things. Once you tell us, the quote you hear is the price you pay.
Most of our customers here book in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. If you wait past the fall window, we often find the leaf mat has started to freeze in place.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning services in Bexley run on the same calendar, so if you need something faster, tell us and we will check for the earliest opening.
No. The crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up, and the crew leaves the lawn clean. We will send photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested as part of the visit, so the water is carried away from your home. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, so we quote it separately and do not touch it until you agree.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep most leaves out, but needles, seed casings, grit and the odd twig still settle on top and pack the downspout underneath. A guarded gutter system still needs the surface cleared and the flow checked, and we clean the surface even on guarded systems.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope, capacity or downspout problem rather than a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the cleaning and maintenance on that quote is what you pay for. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
