Our own crew comes out to clean gutters in Coos Bay, flushes every downspout, flow-tests the run, hauls the leaves away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your roof's size and how much tree cover is over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills.
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 or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Residential properties get the same written number before the crew arrives. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a house the total is what matters, so we price the whole job.
What moves the quote on our jobs is the same every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape puts the back run higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaf mat that takes longer to clear. A run that is clean and holds its pitch takes far less time than one that has started to sag. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the price and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Among Coos Bay homes we visit, the longest jobs are usually the ones where a clog has been building for a while. One house we cleaned had buildup packed to the first elbow of a downspout, and the water flow at the front run had been pooling behind the fascia for a season. The clog and the drainage problem were the same problem, and clearing them took the crew most of a morning. The price moved because of what we found once the gutter was open, and we told the homeowner before we went further. That is the regular gutter cleaning service we do on the houses we visit, and the same rule applies to residential and commercial jobs alike. If you would rather clean your gutters yourself, a ladder and a garden hose cover the easy runs, but the back run and each downspout are where the work is.

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 book twice a year: across Oregon the spring visit falls in mid to late June, after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs December to early January, after the last leaves. In June the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and a clean run is the first thing to restore. Coos Bay gets about 65.6 inches of rain a year, and January, November and December are the wettest months, so the wet leaf mat sits in the trough and the blockage builds right up to the roofline. The freeze risk is real, so trapped water can turn to ice at the eave. On houses that skip the fall visit, a run that has gone unchecked through the wet months is the one we find sagging or pulled loose.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule our customers keep, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. Few or no trees, once a year at the fall visit is enough for most homes. Guards cut down how often you need us, but we still clear the surface and check that water is getting into the run. We check gutters and downspouts at every visit, and to keep your gutters working between visits, watch whether the water leaves at the bottom of each downspout. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
Our gutter services follow this same calendar in the surrounding areas. Keeping the trough clear is how you protect your home from water damage. Heavy rainfall finds every clog, and across Oregon the big storms often come as atmospheric rivers. The rainwater that cannot leave the trough spills behind it, so a blocked run is often where a leak starts. A clean gutter at each visit is the goal.
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.
We have cleaned gutters across Coos Bay or nearby, and the crew covers the whole area from the nearest base. Homeowners book by phone or text, and we offer cleaning services in Coos Bay for the surrounding areas too. Booking starts with a quote from your stories, the size of the house and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. We call before we come, nobody needs to be home for the work, and the yard is left clean when the crew leaves. The busiest windows are the spring visit and the fall visit, when the wettest months bring the heavy rainfall; if you want a date in those months, book early.
Our calendar fills in those two windows, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will check the next open slot. A clean run starts with that estimate: our gutter cleaning process begins with the photo, and we look at the run, the downspout and the tree line before we tell you what the visit will take. Twig and needle litter from the tree line is part of that estimate, and a leak at a joint or a run that has pulled away is noted before anyone climbs. Cleaning and maintenance go on the same quote, and gutter maintenance keeps water away from your home, so get your gutters on the calendar early. Repeat cleanings are booked from the same estimate. You can also ask for a written estimate before we confirm the date.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote from a chart; we quote your house. Our cleaning services for a two-story house are priced that way, with downspout flushing included. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, so commercial properties get a number before the crew arrives.
Most of our customers here book for the spring visit or the fall visit. If you wait past the first hard freeze in the winter, we often find the ice has already started to back up at the eave. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you where we are on the calendar.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day work because the calendar fills in the busy months, and a clean gutter going into those months holds up better.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see a clean finish. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water until it runs clean at the bottom. Any clogged downspouts get flushed first, because every drop has to carry water away from the house. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Gutter guards keep leaves and debris out of the trough, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top and turn into a mat that stops water from getting in. On our jobs the guarded gutters need less work than open ones, but you still want the surface clean every season. A leak at a joint or a run that sags on a rain gutter is found from underneath, not from the ground.
If the gutter system is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem. Repeated overflow can lead to structural damage, and the fascia can rot behind a run that keeps spilling.
It should not. Gutter cleaning services in Coos Bay are quoted before the crew climbs. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what we found, and agree on the new number before we continue.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
