Our own crew cleans gutters in Medford, flushing and flow-testing every run, hauling the mess away, and sending you photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our homeowners here book in spring and fall, when the seeds and leaves have done their damage.
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. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential and commercial buildings, and a homeowner gets the number by phone or text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, but we quote the whole gutter system so you are not doing the arithmetic yourself. Spring and fall are our busiest windows, so if you want to clean your gutters before the rains start, call early at (866) 435-6328.
On our jobs, the things that move the number are the ones we can see from the ground and the ones we find once we are up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted muck, and guards we have to lift and reseat add a step. Water that has sat in a clog long enough can start on structural damage, and we flag that rather than fix it on the spot. Flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Medford homes we have cleaned this year varied a lot in how they clogged. On one, the first run was clear and the back run had a clog and a sag where a hanger had pulled, so the water flow stopped halfway along, the buildup ran over the front edge and the water began to leak behind the trough. We photographed the sag and reported it, and cleaned the rest. That kind of find is part of why we walk the full length of every rain gutter rather than cleaning only what is visible from the driveway. Every visit follows the same gutter cleaning process, start to finish, and it covers the gutters and downspouts the whole way along. Our residential properties and commercial properties follow the same rule: the whole run gets cleared, and anything else we see gets reported, not sold. Whether it is a home or a storefront, the goal is the same, to keep the water flow moving and leave the gutters clean.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

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, once in spring after the seeds and pollen have dropped and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in spring, we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows at the bottom of the pipe, which is where a clog or blockage starts. In fall it is leaves and debris matted wet in the trough, and that wet mat stops the rainwater from moving away from the roofline. The wettest months here are November, December and January, so a skipped fall visit is the one most likely to leave a run sagging under heavy rainfall. Freeze risk is real here too, so water left sitting at the eave can refreeze and lift the shingles from underneath. The point of all of it is to keep your gutters clean through the wet season, which is how you protect your home from water damage.
Under heavy tree cover, we see a faster rate. Needles, twigs and grit pack the outlets between visits, so those customers are on a schedule of every three to four months. Homes near a busy road or active construction are on the same faster rate for the same reason. If the lot has few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough, and regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps the rain moving. Gutter guards change the rhythm: they cut down on the cleanings you need each year, but guarded gutters still get checked, and we report what we find on your roofline. Gutter maintenance between visits is mostly watching the drains after a storm, and a clean run tells you the water is moving.
After the first visit we give you an estimate of which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not guessing from a calendar. A clean gutter line is the baseline we measure from.
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 Medford, and we serve Medford or surrounding areas. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline and the front of the house. We ask how many stories, roughly how big the house is and whether trees hang over the roof, then give you a quote by phone or text. Lead times depend on the season, and during our two busy windows of the year the calendar fills, so it helps to book early. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Booking Medford gutter cleaning with us is a short call. The crew arrives in the window we confirm, works from the ground and the ladder, and leaves photos on your phone before the truck pulls away. The crew checks that the outlets carry the water away from your home, and the ground is left clean. If you want to get your gutters done in the same visit as a window cleaning, say so when you book and we will schedule the gutters first. Our gutter services run the same way every time, and we handle cleaning and maintenance in one visit.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. Once we have those three things, the quote is the price you pay, with flushing and haul-off included.
Most of our customers book in late spring and late fall, and regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the flow clear. If the fall visit gets skipped, the wettest months of November, December and January are when a clogged run is most likely to sag and overflow. Homes under heavy tree cover or dense landscape need a visit more often.
Same-day slots depend on the calendar, so call about cleaning services in Medford and we confirm the date and the window with you.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. The crew leaves the yard as clean as it found it. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and flow-test it, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet, since clogged downspouts are the usual reason a run overflows. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, which we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, and that mat can still send water over the edge. We lift the guards, clear underneath, and reseat them so the gutters stay clear.
A clean gutter that still overflows in rain has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning. Water that keeps overflowing for a long time can rot the fascia and mean structural damage, so tell us how long it has been happening.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell 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.
