Our own crew cleans gutters in Lyndhurst, flushes and flow-tests every outlet, hauls the mess away, and takes 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. Across Ohio, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep that rhythm on our routes too.
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 quote it 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 by length land in a similar place per linear foot, but on our jobs the roofline and the access decide most of it. This page prices residential properties, and commercial properties with the same problems need a separate call.
What moves the quote on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years with compacted leaf mat in every elbow, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear them. Leaves and debris removal, flushing and flow testing are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Ohio the houses we clean vary widely, and the one thing that holds steady is the crew walking the lot before anyone climbs. On Lyndhurst homes where owners book our gutter cleaning services, the water flow problem is rarely the gutter alone: a sag in one run, a clog at the bend, and a rain gutter that had been dumping water away from the wrong wall. Our crew flushes every downspout and reports what the drainage does at the outlet, so any buildup that is still standing shows up on your phone before we leave. Clogged downspouts are the most common cause of structural damage we see on these lots, and the cleaning is the cheapest way to protect the foundation, but the quote itself is always yours to hear by phone first at (866) 435-6328.
| 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.
Across Ohio, the spring visit lands in late May to June, after seed and pollen drop. In Lyndhurst OH the fall visit falls in November to early December, after the last leaves, and most of our customers book spring and fall. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs sagging by March under the weight of ice. Winters here freeze and snow falls from November through April, so a clog left in the trough through that stretch turns into an ice dam at the eave.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is the right rhythm, because needles, twig pieces and grit pack the outlets between visits. A roofline with few or no trees is usually fine with one visit a year in late fall. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared, so clean your gutters on the guard surface too. The rainwater that gets past a clean guard can still find the same blockage at the bend. The same timing works for residential and commercial roofs, since the wet months load both.
Heavy rainfall lands hardest in July, August and October here, and a gutter system with a blockage overflows first in those months. A small leak at a seam is usually the first sign. Our gutter cleaning service keeps the schedule tight so the calendar matches what the roofline actually collects. For residential properties, the first visit is the one that sets the cycle: once the lot is clean, we give you a cycle estimate with debris haul-away included, and you can clean your gutters on that cycle without guessing.
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 works across Lyndhurst and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Every homeowner gets the same booking path. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy for you. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call. The two busy windows of the year fill first, so a call in late spring or early fall is the quickest route to a slot. A Lyndhurst gutter cleaning booking covers the gutters and downspouts in one visit, and we flush every downspout on the lot. Ask about any of our gutter services when you call and we say which one fits the house.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. A quick text with the access details is enough. If you have gutter guards, say so when you book so the crew brings the right lift. A photo of any twig or leaf jam in the outlet helps the crew pick the right tools. Most of our cleanings are booked by phone, and the crew arrives with the lift and ladders already sorted. Booking with us is meant to keep your gutters clear and protect your home from water damage without a long back-and-forth, and the yard is left clean.
Call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the house, or book a date today.
Our cleaning services in Lyndhurst start with the stories and the size of the house, and we give you the number by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not guess from the street. Once we have those two facts, the quote is the number you pay.
Across Ohio, spring visits land in late May to June, and here the fall visit falls in November to early December. If you wait past the November leaves, the wet mat freezes into the elbows and we see sagging runs by March. Late spring clears the seed and pollen drop. Heavy rainfall in July, August and October fills the trough fastest, so a clean start to the year keeps the gutter system ready.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service because the calendar depends on the route that day. We book across Lyndhurst by route, so a call early in the week gets the first look at open dates, and if you want to get your gutters on the calendar fast, call early.
No. The gutter cleaning process is the same for every house: the crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the yard clean, and sends photos of every run and downspout to 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 after we clean each one we watch the water at the outlet to confirm it runs away from your home and out past the landscape beds. If a line drains underground, we check the outlet and tell you whether water is leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, but less often. Guards keep the leaves out, but needles and seed casings thread through and mat on top, and once that mat is wet the water backs up until the fascia can rot. So we lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall is a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it actually is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised and agreed before work starts, so the number on the invoice matches the quote you heard on the phone. Gutter maintenance visits follow the same rule, and so does any cleaning and maintenance work we add.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
