Our own crew cleans gutters in Astoria, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, and 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 Oregon, most of our customers book in spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the last leaves come down.
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, and every homeowner gets it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the height and the amount in the trough move the figure more than the length does.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means boom or scissor lift time. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years hold a heavy buildup that takes longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on the ladder. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
We have seen the same pattern in Astoria homes. A house with clogged downspouts at the lower run and a leak at the corner joint costs more than a clean two-story with open gutters, because the crew spends longer clearing the blockage and checking the drainage before the water flow is right. We tell you which it is when we quote.
Our gutter cleaning service handles residential and commercial work, and commercial properties are priced the same way as the residential properties we clean: stories, size, what is in the gutters. Regular gutter cleaning on a schedule keeps the job smaller each visit, and it is easier to clean your gutters when the muck has not had time to pack down. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate from it.
| 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.
Most of our customers in Astoria book two cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall. The spring visit comes after seed and pollen drop; the fall visit comes after the last leaves. Across Oregon, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June, and that is when we clean out seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. Our fall visit runs November to early December, when the leaves are wet and matted, and on houses that skipped it, runs sag under the weight over the winter.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, the schedule tightens to every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough to keep the gutter clear. Gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still needs a clean.
A clogged rain gutter that sits through a wet season does more than slow the water. It leads to rot in the fascia behind the gutter and pushes water toward the foundation, which is how a small blockage turns into structural damage over one winter. Astoria gets about 70.3 inches of rain a year, and the rainwater is heaviest in January, November and December, so a clog is most likely to back up then. Keeping the whole gutter system clean helps protect your home from water damage, and keeps the gutter services you pay for doing their job.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing, so you know how often to keep your gutters clean. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the spring or fall date, or ask for the schedule for your gutters and downspouts.
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 provides cleaning services in Astoria from the nearest base, and books a slot by phone or text. We reach homes in Astoria or the surrounding areas, so tell us where you are when you call. To quote, we ask for stories, approximate size, the landscape around the house and whether trees hang over the roof, since a twig or needle in the trough changes the job, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we confirm the date when you call rather than promising a slot we cannot keep.
Across Astoria, our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when customers book their scheduled visit. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want. Outside them, the slots open up sooner, and a clean gutter going into the rain season is the easy goal.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Heavy rainfall after a clog is the signal to get your gutters cleared sooner rather than later. Our gutter cleaning process is the same at every house. On every visit the crew will flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet, and leaves and grit are bagged and carried away from your home before the truck leaves. Each visit is part of our cleaning and maintenance schedule, which is how gutter maintenance stays predictable. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. A clean two-story with open gutters is the simplest job we quote. There is no fixed figure we can give without those details, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
Most of our customers book spring and late fall. If you wait past the fall leaves, leaves and debris pack the trough into a wet mat, and on houses that skipped the visit the runs sag by spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our gutter cleaning services run on that calendar, and we do not promise same-day work we cannot schedule.
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, we flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs a guarded gutter system holds leaves back, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and mat into a paste that stops the water. The surface still needs a clean.
A clean rain gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem, because it is not carrying water away. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
