Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Four Corners, flushes each run until the water clears, hauls off everything that came out, and takes photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work across Oregon for years, and most of our Four Corners customers book in the spring and fall, the two windows when seeds, pollen and leaves fill a gutter fastest.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Four Corners gutter cleaning is priced from three things: stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. If you want to clean your gutters without guessing at the bill, the phone quote is the fastest way to get it. Every homeowner gets the same call, and Four Corners homes are quoted the same way residential properties are. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the house is measured, but the stories and the tree cover matter more than the footage on most of our jobs.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted debris, and that clog takes longer to clear than a seasonal load. A sag in a run adds its own time, because the buildup has to come out before the drainage can be checked, and a sag left alone can turn into structural damage. Guards we have to lift and reseat add their own time. Gutter flushing, water flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and if anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is the gutter cleaning process on a job like that. On one of our Four Corners cleanings, the house had an older gutter system with a sag in the back run and a heavy buildup of seeds and leaf grit, and the outlets were restricted at the elbow, so the crew flushed each one until the water ran clear and the bottom of the run came out clean. Nothing about that job was unusual for a house in this town, which is why the quote came in on the phone before we ever pulled up. Most Four Corners homeowners come down to the same three questions: how many stories, how big, and what the trees are doing to the gutters. Answer those and you have your number. Ask for the photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy, because it lets us see the roofline before we book.
| 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.
On our Four Corners jobs most customers book twice a year: once in the spring, which across Oregon falls in mid to late June after the spring seed and pollen drop, and again in November to early December, after the last leaves are down. When we open a rain gutter here in June we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and clogged downspouts are the usual result of that load. A single clog or blockage there is enough to start an overflow, so we flush every outlet before the truck leaves. In November it is the wet leaf mat of leaves and grit, and we clean the elbows out before we leave. On homes that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose over the wet winter months, under the weight of ice and standing rainwater, and the wood behind them start to rot. Those two visits are the schedule most homes in this area need, and the point is to keep your gutters running, not to wait for the first overflow.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site, we see customers on every three to four months, because needles, the odd twig and grit pack the runs faster than a twice-a-year visit can keep up with. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps the gutters from packing out between visits. A house with few or no trees usually needs a single clean in late fall. Gutters with guards still need the surface cleared, though less often, because mesh holds back the big leaves but not the grit that settles under the screen, and we clean the guard surface before we reseat it. Gutter maintenance on a guarded roof is a different job, but it is still maintenance. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put that in writing so the schedule is not guesswork.
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 gutter cleaning services run in Four Corners or the surrounding areas, and the crew works across four corners on the same calendar as everywhere else. Most of the streets we clean are on the side of town where the tree canopy is heaviest. We handle cleaning services in Four Corners and the homes around it, and we look at the landscape around each house before the crew shows up. Booking our gutter services is simple: you call (866) 435-6328 or text, we ask for stories, size and what the trees are doing to the roof, and if it is easy we ask for a photo of the house front. From there we give you a quote and a date. Lead times run on our calendar, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and the fall visits, so if you want a particular week, call early in those months to get your gutters on the calendar. Cleaning and maintenance are booked on the same call, so one conversation covers both. Calls about residential and commercial buildings start the same way, and if you manage commercial properties, ask on the call whether the building fits our schedule.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. The crew stays outside, does not come inside, and sends you photos of every run before the truck leaves, so you see the result whether or not you were there. The crew also leaves the ground clean, and the debris leaves with the truck. A clean gutter is how we protect your home from water damage, because it keeps water away from your home. If a gutter still shows a leak or overflows during heavy rainfall after we are done, send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and how much buildup is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will quote it from those three things.
Most of our customers book the spring visit in mid to late June, which is the spring timing across Oregon, and again in November, before the first hard freeze. If you wait past the fall visit on a house under trees, the runs are more likely to sag before spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our gutter services are booked the same way as any other job.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet is flushed and flow-tested as part of the included work, and the gutter is left clean. Drain pipes have to carry water away from your home, so if a line drains underground and needs clearing, we tell you and quote that separately before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep the big leaves out, but the grit and needles sit on top of the screen and turn to a paste when wet, so the surface still has to be clean. Guards cut the work, but they do not replace cleaning and maintenance.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. A gutter that is clean and still overflows usually has a slope or outlet-size problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell you another cleaning. Catching that early keeps the fascia from rot and keeps the problem from becoming structural damage. Clear runs keep water away from your home, which is the whole point of the visit.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
