Our own crew cleans gutters in Shawnee, OK, flushing every drain pipe and flow-testing each run, hauling the debris away, and sending you photos of every section before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work across Oklahoma for years, most of our Shawnee customers book around the spring and fall visits, and the estimator above takes under a minute.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, how much square footage the gutters run along, and what is in the gutters when we open them. We quote Shawnee homeowners over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Our cleaning services in Shawnee are priced that way. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but the phone quote is the one you can check against the invoice. The quote is built from the gutters and drain pipes on your house, not from a rate card.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story, or a roofline too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down heavy with compacted muck, and guards we have to lift and reseat take extra time. A clean run is what the crew leaves behind, and flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If anything we find on the rain gutter changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is what a typical Shawnee visit looks like from our side. A homeowner with a leak at the back corner called us because water was running over the edge in heavy rainfall. We cleared the run and found a blockage at the lower elbow where leaves, a twig and grit had matted. We flushed it, and rainwater came out clean at the bottom. We photographed the section before and after. That is the gutter cleaning process we follow on every house: clean the trough, clear the outlet, and confirm the water is leaving the house. Most of the time that is all it takes to keep the water away from your home.
If you have gutter guards already, the price still starts from the same place, because the crew still has to lift the guard, clear what sits on top, and check the run underneath. A clean trough is only half the job with guards, so the crew checks the underside too. Tell us about the guards when you call and we will include that in the number. A quick photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see the height and the pitch ahead of the visit.
Booking ahead of the first hard rain is the easiest move for gutter maintenance, and the cleaning and maintenance visit is quoted the same way. Every visit is also a chance to spot the first signs of rot at the fascia or a seam that is starting to weep. We report those in writing and leave the decision with you.
| 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.
Across Oklahoma, most customers book two cleanings a year, in late May to June after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late October to November after the last leaves come down. Shawnee homes follow the same two windows, though the timing shifts a little with the weather, and a clean trough at each visit is the goal.
In spring we open the gutter and find seeds, seed casings and a paste of pollen packed into the elbows, which is where a spring clog tends to form. In fall it is the leaf load, a thick wet mat in some runs, and that is most of the leaves and debris we haul. In a freeze season the fall visit does more than clear leaves: it clears the water path before the first ice, because ice dams form at the eave when the trough is full. Freeze risk is real here, so a skipped fall visit gets noticed. On houses that skipped it we have seen runs that began to sag and pull loose by the following spring. Snow in Shawnee is light, but where it does come in January and December, the melt running into a blocked trough is what causes the structural damage. Aim for a clean trough before the fall leaves arrive.
We sort the schedule into tiers based on what we see on the lot. Twice a year covers most houses. Under heavy tree cover, or where shrubs crowd the eaves, we schedule a visit about three to four months apart, because needles and grit cause buildup in the drains faster than the seasons alone would suggest. With few or no trees and a bare landscape around the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards mean fewer visits, but the surface still has to be cleared and the trough kept clean underneath, so they do not remove the visit altogether.
Our own schedule runs this way. Clean your gutters on the schedule the lot calls for, not the calendar alone. A Shawnee customer with no trees over the house is on a once-a-year late fall visit and the run stays clear. Another one, under trees, is on a visit every three to four months, and the drain pipes never sit full long enough to back water up. Each of those houses gets a clean trough, a flush of the drains and a photo on every visit, and every visit checks the whole gutter system, not just the run you can see. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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.

We offer gutter cleaning services across Shawnee OK, and regular gutter cleaning on a set schedule keeps the water moving between seasons. We know Shawnee homes well enough to quote the house types quickly. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using stories, square footage and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Lead time depends on the calendar, but the two peak windows of the year fill first, so booking early in spring and fall helps. The goal on every visit is drainage that works: steady water flow leaves the gutter, runs down the pipe and exits a clean outlet. We call before we come, and the crew leaves the ground clean, so nobody needs to be home for the visit. To get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the house front, or book a date.
Our residential and commercial work covers the homes and buildings around town, and the crew serves the surrounding areas on the same schedule. Commercial properties get a scheduled plan, and residential properties get the same photo record and flushing standard. Every gutter cleaning service visit ends with photos on your phone, and our gutter services include flushing, flow testing and debris removal, so the work reads the same on the report regardless of the building.
The estimate comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it over the phone or by text. The quote is the number you pay.
Across Oklahoma, most customers book in late May to June and again in late October to November. If the fall visit is skipped, the first ice and the leaf mat can leave a run sagging by the following spring.
Booking depends on the calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 and we confirm a date while you are on the line. Most slots come up within the week during the regular season.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and confirm the water leaves the outlet. A blockage in a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before touching it.
Yes. Guards keep out whole leaves, but the muck that settles on top and the grit that works underneath still build up, so the crew lifts the guard, clears the surface and checks the run. Guards do not stop a clog from forming on their own.
A gutter that is clean and still spills in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem. Keeping that water moving is how you protect your home from water damage.
It should not. If something changes the job, we raise it with you before work starts and you agree to it first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
