Our own crew cleans gutters in Monmouth, 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Oregon, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that rhythm holds here too.
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 sitting in the gutter system. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care on the lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaf mat, and a clog or buildup that has been forming for a while takes longer to clear than a light fall of leaves. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included, the trough is left clean, and none of it is billed as an extra. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our crew has cleaned gutters on a range of houses across Monmouth, and the Monmouth homeowners we visit live in a good mix of single-storey ranches and two-storey monmouth homes with older rain gutter runs. The gutter cleaning services we provide start with the same question on every visit: how many stories, and what is in the trough. Where leaves and grit have left clogged downspouts, we flush every downspout, check the water flow at the outlet, and make sure the drainage is moving water away from the foundation and the landscape beside it. Where a run has held water for a season and begun to sag, we look for rot and structural damage at the fascia and report it, rather than promise a fix we do not sell. A gutter that still overflows after cleaning is usually a slope problem, and we say so plainly.
We price residential and commercial work differently. Commercial properties are priced per building on a scheduled visit, which is a separate conversation. For residential properties, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.
| 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 Monmouth customers book regular gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Oregon the same two windows hold for residential and commercial sites alike, and a clean start in each one keeps the rest of the year simple. We schedule around them.
In spring we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and where the fall visit was skipped we see the first runs pulling loose or sagging by the time the rainy months arrive. Heavy rainfall in Monmouth averages 41.9 inches a year, and November, December and January are the wettest months, so rainwater pouring over the edge at the first big storm usually means a clog or blockage sitting in the trough. A fall clean is the visit that keeps the roofline draining through winter, so if you clean your gutters only once a year, make it this one.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see work, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough, and debris removal is included in that visit. On residential properties near a busy road or construction, the same tighter schedule applies. Guards cut the frequency, but gutter maintenance still means clearing the surface. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and the gutter cleaning service estimate for that tier goes out by phone or text.
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 cleaning services in Monmouth cover the city as a whole, along with Monmouth or surrounding areas. Each homeowner gets a gutter cleaning service quote by phone or text, built from your stories, your square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead times depend on the season, and we confirm a date when you call. The two busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, so if you want a slot in one of those, call (866) 435-6328 early and book a date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. A monmouth gutter cleaning visit is a short piece of the day for most houses, and the photos of every run arrive on your phone before the crew leaves, showing each run clean. Most of our Monmouth customers settle into two cleanings a year, and the gutter cleaning process starts with the gutters and downspouts that need attention first. If you have had a clog or a leak, or a twig jammed in a downspout, tell us when you call so we can plan the visit around it. If your house has gutter guards, say so on the call too. Residential and commercial gutter services both start this way, and our goal is to protect your home from water damage before the next storm and to keep your gutters working through the season. Get your gutters on the books early, and clean your gutters before the rain sets in.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the trough. We quote it over the phone or by text, and that is the price on the invoice.
Customers across Monmouth book in late spring, after the seeds and pollen have dropped, and again in late fall, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze. Waiting past that is when the clog turns into a sag and the fascia starts to rot, so get your gutters on the calendar early.
Most slots come up within the week. Our cleaning services in Monmouth run on a booked calendar, and we confirm the date when you call and tell you the earliest we can get to the house.
No. The gutter cleaning process is exterior only, and the crew does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the photos of every run and downspout arrive before the truck leaves.
Yes. We flush every downspout and watch the water run clean at the bottom, because a gutter system only protects the house if the water is carried away from your home. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving, and clearing a buried line is quoted separately.
Yes, less often, and gutter maintenance on a guarded roof is a different job. On our jobs the grit that gets past a guard sits on top of it as a mat, and rain runs over that mat and off the front edge, onto the landscape below. We clear the surface, flush the downspouts and reseat the guards.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, especially after heavy rainfall. A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem in the gutter system, and we tell you what it is rather than sell a second cleaning.
Only if the job changes, and then you hear it and agree before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice, and that holds for cleaning and maintenance as well.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
