Our own crew cleans gutters and every downspout run in North Bend. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, leave the gutters clean, and send photos of every run before we pack up. 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 the invoice. Most homeowners in town book in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Gutter cleaning services for North Bend homes are priced from how many stories the house has, how large it is 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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a typical house the total comes out the same whichever way it is counted.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run is further up than it looks from the yard. Gutters that have not been opened in years carry compacted leaves and a heavy clog that takes time to break loose, and clogged downspouts take more time still, since each one is flushed until it runs clean at the bottom. Guards we have to lift and reseat add labor. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our North Bend jobs, one recent visit on a two-story house on the older side of town showed how this plays out. The gutters had not been opened in several seasons, and the leaves and debris had packed so tightly that the run began to sag, and water sat on top of the mass and ran over the front. The quote went up because the crew had to break the packed mass loose by hand and flush each run before the water flow was clear, and the customer chose to have the job done that day rather than wait. Most of the increase came from the buildup, not from the height of the house. The gutters now run clean, the drainage is moving again, and the photos of every run were on the customer's phone before we left.
Most homes in town see a pattern like this one. A rain gutter that is full cannot move water away from the house, and water left in a clogged trough finds the fascia, which is where structural damage starts. Heavy canopy, gutters left through a wet winter, and a clog that has been building for a while will push a quote up, and that is why we ask about tree cover and how long it has been since the gutters were last cleaned. We ask for a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy to send. That photo often tells us more about the condition of the eave than a description does. Quotes for commercial properties follow the same questions, whatever the building.
| 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 customers book twice a year, in spring and fall. The spring visit comes after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit finds seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and a clean run is the goal before summer. The fall visit finds the wet leaf mat that sits in the trough and holds the rainwater against the fascia through the winter, and any clog it has formed is a blockage the crew clears before the first storm.
Freeze conditions change what the fall visit has to do. Where the ground and the eaves freeze, the first ice of the season forms on top of whatever was left behind. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see ice dams along the roofline and runs that have sagged or pulled loose by January. Heavy rainfall in November and December fills a clogged trough fast, and the water that spills over the edge is where structural damage starts. Clean your gutters in late fall, before the first freeze, and include debris removal in that visit. That is the strongest protection against it, which is why the fall visit matters more here than the spring one.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, the schedule shifts to every three to four months, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits and the blockage builds faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. A landscape with beds planted right under the eave sends mulch into the trough, which moves a house onto the shorter schedule too. A house with few or no trees usually needs only one cleaning a year, in late fall, and regular gutter cleaning on that schedule is enough to keep the gutters running clean through the rainy months. Gutter maintenance on guarded gutters needs less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared, because a mat of pollen and seeds on top of the guard still sends water over the front edge.
Whether your house is in North Bend or nearby, the same schedule applies to residential and commercial buildings. Residential properties and commercial properties both get the photo report from every visit.
After the first visit we give you a written estimate for the gutter cleaning service your lot needs.
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.

North Bend gutter cleaning covers residential properties and the surrounding areas, and the crew works out from our nearest base to the neighborhoods where the homes are. The gutter cleaning process starts with a phone quote from your stories, your square footage and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and as a homeowner you do not need to be home for the work to happen. Lead time for gutter cleaning services depends on the season, and the two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest.
If you want to get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will reply with a window. Our goal is to keep your gutters running clean and to protect your home from water damage before a small leak turns into rot. Our gutter services cover gutters and downspouts from end to end, and we flush every downspout before the truck leaves. The sooner we are on the ladder, the sooner the water is moving away from your home again.
If you have gutter guards, tell us when you book, because a twig or a seed mat caught under the guard changes what the crew has to lift and reseat. Repeat cleanings on the same house are easy to plan, since the schedule above sets how often they come.
For a two-story house across North Bend, the price comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We give you that number by phone or text, and it is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are already included.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall. The spring visit clears the seed and pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the freeze season, when ice and runoff can cause rot in the fascia. Waiting until ice has formed on top of the leaves is the common mistake, so clean your gutters before the ice shows up.
Lead time depends on the season. When you call (866) 435-6328, we tell you the next open date and confirm it in writing so you can get your gutters booked before we come out. Residential and commercial calls both start with that same phone quote, and that call is also where we tell you whether the crew can take on commercial properties.
No, you do not need to be home. The gutter cleaning process is outside work only: our crew does not come inside, and 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 with water and watched until it runs clean at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out of the gutter system, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and mat down, and once wet, rain runs over the front edge. Guards do not replace gutter maintenance, and a landscape with beds under the eave still sends mulch into the trough, so we clear the surface, check that water is getting in, and leave the gutter clean.
If a clean rain gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or capacity, not a clog. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, because another cleaning does not move water away from your home.
It should not. Cleaning and maintenance quotes are set on the phone call. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after the work is done. Heavy rainfall can hide a blockage from the ground, so anything found on the ladder is raised before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
