Our own crew cleans gutters, flushes and flow-tests each run, bags and hauls the leaves, and sends photos of every run before we leave. A clean finish is the goal on every house. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the leaves are down. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the length is the smaller part of the job. A gutter that has gone two years without a clean is a different job from one that was opened last spring, and we see that on the first look.
On our jobs, four things move the number. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk means the boom or scissor lift comes out, and that is priced in. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits higher than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years carry packed-in leaf mat that takes more time to clear and flush, and clogged downspouts, often with a twig jammed at the elbow, take the longest. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the number and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before the gutter cleaning process starts, and a clean estimate stays a clean invoice.
Here is what we have seen on Newport homes. One house with a steep rear pitch had a sag in the back run where the old hangers had pulled loose; the number changed because the crew had to flush the run at the second story before the water flow was clear, and we said so before climbing. We clean on the same terms across Newport, whether the house is a single story or three. Heavy leaf and seed buildup in gutters and downspouts is the usual reason a gutter looks worse than it runs, and that is where the flush earns its keep. For a house that has a clog at the elbow, the water flow is the first thing we check.
Residential and commercial cleanings follow the same method, but the scope is set per building. Our work on residential properties and commercial properties is priced on the building, and the crew treats each run the same way. We are not in the business of selling repairs; when the crew finds a hanger pulled or a seam dripping, that goes in the report with a photo, and the decision is yours. For a typical job here, our gutter cleaning services are one visit, and the crew leaves when the photos are on your phone.

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 the spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Oregon the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and when we open a gutter then we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. When we open one in late November the rain gutter holds a wet leaf mat that has started to rot. Keep your gutters clean and clear through both seasons, which is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage at the eave.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees hanging over the eave, our customers book regular gutter cleaning every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the elbows between visits and a single season is too long to wait. Near a busy road or a construction site, the grit load is the same story. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Guards cut the frequency, but the surface still has to be kept clean, so a guarded house is not a reason to skip the fall visit.
When freeze risk applies, the fall visit matters more. The rainwater that sits in a blocked gutter freezes at the eave and forms ice dams, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next spring. On the wetter side of the state, the leaf mat before the rainy season is the real risk, and a clog forms fast once heavy rainfall arrives, so the blockage builds before anyone notices. Either way it is the same cleaning and maintenance visit: flush every downspout, leave the trough clean, and check the drainage on every run before the season turns.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. The point of any tier is to keep water away from your home, and we do not sell the heavier schedule to every house; we set the gutter maintenance schedule from what we find in the gutter and the trees around it.
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 has worked across the surrounding areas, and cleaning services in Newport are set from the nearest base. The quote comes by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to take. Booking a visit in Newport usually comes down to two questions: how many stories, and how many trees hang over the house. We call before we come, and every homeowner gets the same photo report, whether or not they are home.
Our calendar for Newport or the towns near it fills in two busy windows, late spring after the seed drop and late fall after the leaves are down, so a slot in those windows can take a little longer to confirm. Booking cleanings early in the quiet months is the easiest way to get your gutters done on a date you pick. Lead time is confirmed when you call, and we will tell you the date we can hold rather than promise a date we cannot.
We are the crew that answers the phone, so the person quoting you is usually the one who will be on the ladder. That keeps the quote honest and the visit predictable. Tell us about the trees and the stories, and we will tell you what the job will cost and when it fits. For a first visit or a change of schedule, text a photo of the gutter line and any leak you can see, and we will say what it needs.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Flushing and haul-off are already in it.
Most of our customers book a late spring visit and a late fall visit, and if you can only clean your gutters once a year, make it late fall. If the fall visit is skipped, we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next spring on houses that had ice at the eave, and a sagged run can turn into structural damage at the fascia.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Our gutter services are booked by date, and we will not promise a same-day visit we cannot hold.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and keeps off the landscape beds, then sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a run drains into an underground line that will not clear, we tell you, and clearing the buried line is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes. Gutter guards keep out leaves and debris, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of them and mat once they are wet. We clean the surface and check that water is getting in, so a guarded house still gets the fall visit.
A clean gutter system that still spills in rain has a slope or downspout-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 you a second cleaning.
Only if something changes the job, and then you hear it before work 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.
