Our own crew cleans gutters in Grants Pass, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the stories, the size of the house and the tree cover over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been booked on most of our Grants Pass jobs in the spring and fall, and that is when we are at our busiest.
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, its 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, so ask us for a written estimate before any of our gutter services are booked. Many Grants Pass homeowners ask about linear-foot pricing, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but the stories and the state of the gutters drive the number more than the length does.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up in the air, gutters that nobody has opened in years and that are packed with buildup, and guards we have to lift off and reseat before we can reach the trough. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are already in the price, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you where your house falls.
On our Grants Pass homes the work is mostly the same as anywhere else: the grit and leaf mat that packs the trough, the clog at the elbow, and water flow that has slowed to a trickle. The first thing we check is the drainage path from the gutter to the ground, because a clean gutter that still sends water back toward the fascia is a slope problem, not a clog problem, and it can start a leak in the fascia board. We do this for residential and commercial work alike, and the same crew writes the same kind of estimate for residential properties and commercial properties. We will tell you what we find and what it costs to clean your gutters properly, and you can decide from there whether a regular gutter cleaning service or a lighter gutter maintenance visit makes sense for the house.
| 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 Grants Pass customers book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Oregon the spring visit falls in mid to late June, and by then the elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and a gutter that looks clean from the driveway can have a clog running down the full length of the trough. The fall visit runs late October to November, and in November it is the wet leaf mat, since November is one of the wettest months here. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag before winter is over under the weight of ice.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof and a dense landscape close to the walls, the gutter fills faster and we see the rainwater backing up at the roofline every few weeks in the wet season. Those houses run on a three to four month schedule, and their cleanings are timed to the wet months because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most homes. Gutters that carry guards still need the surface kept clean, though less often than an open gutter. The blockage is almost always at the elbow or in the first ten feet of the run, so the crew checks there first on every visit, works through the gutters and downspouts as one gutter system, and we flush every downspout before we leave. A rain gutter that is left alone too long turns into a water-damage repair job, and that is the reason to book on schedule and protect your home from water damage.
After the first visit we tell you which of those schedules your lot actually needs, and we put the estimate for the next visit in writing so the calendar is decided before you have to think about it. Keep your gutters clean on a schedule and most of the expensive problems never start.
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 works across Grants Pass or the surrounding areas, with crews dispatched from the nearest base. A homeowner starts with a quote by phone or text: tell us the number of stories, roughly the square footage, whether there are trees over the roof and whether you have gutter guards, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The calendar fills in the spring and fall windows, so if you want a particular date from our cleaning services in Grants Pass, call (866) 435-6328 early and ask for a written estimate with the slot attached.
Lead time is confirmed when you book, and we will tell you the earliest date we have. If the gutters are overflowing now, say so, because we can often move a job forward when water is pouring over the front edge. Cleaning and maintenance is the core of our gutter services, and every gutter maintenance visit runs through the same gutter cleaning process: the trough left clean, flushed and flow-checked, then photos sent to you. Get your gutters on the calendar before the rain and the leaves arrive together, because heavy rainfall on a full trough is the moment that water starts finding its way into the wall instead of running away from your home.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and our gutter cleaning services quote it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a price range here, because two-story houses differ a lot by size and by how long the gutters have gone without cleaning.
Our customers here book in the spring and again in late fall, and the fall visit runs late October to November. In spring the seeds and pollen fill the elbows, and in November the wet leaf mat and the first freeze are what we find. Wait until after the freeze and the runs can already be sagging.
Slots across Grants Pass usually come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If you have water pouring over the edge, tell us when you call and we will look for the earliest opening.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come into the house, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the yard is left as clean as the crew found it.
Yes, we flush the clogged downspouts and watch the water until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a run feeds an underground line we check that the water is leaving the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves and debris but not needles, seed casings or grit, and on our jobs that mat sits on top of the guard until the water goes over the front edge. The surface still needs clearing as part of gutter maintenance, though usually less often than an open gutter.
A clean gutter that still sends water over the edge has a slope or drain-size problem, not a clog problem, and left alone that water can rot the fascia board and cause structural damage. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is and how to get water away from the house; we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the job changes, and if it does you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts. 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.
