Our own crew cleans gutters in Macedonia OH, and when we leave they are clean at the lip and running clear at the bottom. We flush every downspout, flow-test each one, haul it all away, and send photos of every run. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Macedonia customers book in spring and fall, and we are on the ladder for both. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a number per foot tells you little about what your house will take.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift to reach the back run. A walk-out basement puts the back gutter twenty-four feet up from the ground, and a sloped lot changes how high the roofline sits on each side. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted debris, which takes more time than loose leaves. Guards we have to lift and reseat add another step to every run. Flushing the drain pipes and flow testing are included in the quote and never billed as extras. Once the job is done, the gutters are clean and the drain pipes run clear. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Macedonia jobs the quotes move most when a house has a clog at the lower elbows, buildup from two seasons of leaves, or a run that has begun to sag. Clogged drain pipes and drainage problems like these take the crew longer, and the water flow test tells us whether a pipe has to be cleared from the top or the bottom. We keep the count of runs and stories in front of you so you can see the basis for the number before we start. Most homes in our Macedonia homes list fall between one visit a year and two, and the price follows the same measures every time, so a clean job on one visit sets the number for the next.
Our crews treat gutter cleaning services as a fixed scope: gutters, drain pipes, debris removal and the photo report, not a pile of add-ons. Every one of our gutter services is quoted the same way. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same discipline, though the commercial scope is priced per building. Residential properties and commercial properties both get the photo report. If you want regular gutter cleaning on a schedule, most customers pick spring and fall, and we can book the next date when we give the quote. The same number applies to each visit once the first one has set the baseline. Ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper before you decide.
| 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 falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in late October to November, after the last leaves. Most of our Macedonia customers book both. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds and seed casings packed into the drain pipe elbows, with pollen paste on top of them. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the weight of ice by March. Every visit ends with the gutters clean and the drain pipes running clear, so the next run starts from zero.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the gutters clog faster, and those houses are on a schedule of every three to four months. Needles and grit pack the drain pipes between visits, along with leaves and twigs, and a single gutter clog can back water over the edge in a storm. Homes with few or no trees do well with one visit a year in late fall. Guarded gutters need less frequent work, but the surface still gets cleared so the run stays clean underneath, because the seeds sit on the guard and wait for rain. Keeping the trough clean is only half of it; the blockage is what we are watching for at every visit. Standing water that sits too long can rot the fascia board behind the gutter, so we check for that too.
A roofline that is clean from the start keeps rainwater moving away from the foundation and keeps water away from your home, so the landscape beside the house does not stay soaked. If you want to protect your home from water damage through the wet months, the calendar matters more than the method. Most people find it easier to clean your gutters on a set schedule than to wait for an overflow. We will tell you which tier your lot needs after the first visit, based on what we find in the gutters and downspouts, and we will put the next date on the calendar before we leave. Our rule for estimate-ready jobs is simple: we measure once, then book the rhythm that fits the lot, so you can keep your gutters clear without guessing. Each visit, we check the outlet of every drain pipe, and our gutter services keep the same calendar all year.
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 Macedonia and surrounding areas, and reaches every address from the nearest base, so the drive is short for most addresses. When you call (866) 435-6328, we give you the quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and if it is easy for you, send a photo of the house front. Booking runs on a calendar, and the lead time is shown when you call. Macedonia gutter cleaning fills fastest in two windows, spring and late fall, so the earlier you call the better your chance at a preferred day.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. A Macedonia homeowner who books with us gets the same crew on the same schedule, which is how the photo report stays comparable from one visit to the next. Our gutter cleaning process runs the same way on every house, and each of our cleanings ends with the same photos, so the next visit is easy to plan from the last one.
If you have an old house, a leak at the lower run, or a drain pipe that empties toward the foundation, mention it when you book. We will look at it, photograph it and report it, and we will tell you if it is something we can clear or something a different trade has to handle. Gutter maintenance is easiest before the heavy rainfall of spring and fall arrives, so get your gutters on the calendar now. A twig jammed in a run is a quick clear, but a sagging run is not. If you have gutter guards, the crew lifts them, clears underneath and reseats them. The crew will be on the ladder with the same care each time, leaves every run clean, and the cleaning and maintenance schedule stays on the books.
The number comes from stories and size, and we quote it by phone or text.
Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. In Macedonia, freeze risk is real, so the fall visit matters for ice.
Our cleaning services in Macedonia run on a calendar. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, 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 drain pipe is flushed and flow-tested, and clogged downspouts get cleared from the top or the bottom, whichever reaches the blockage. We check whether water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep out most leaves and debris, but the seeds, needles and grit sit on top and turn into a wet mat, so the surface still gets cleared and kept clean.
A rain gutter that is clean and still spills in rain usually has a slope or capacity problem, or a landscape that drains toward the foundation, not a debris problem. Left alone, that water can cause structural damage. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
The number we quote is the number we charge, and a clean invoice matches the quote. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
