Our own crew cleans gutters in Prineville, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Our gutter cleaning services work through the whole gutter system, so a clog two runs down gets found too. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our Prineville customers book in spring and fall, and we can give you an estimate the same day you ask. A regular clean is how you protect your home from water 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 stories, square footage and what is 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 length land in a similar place per linear foot, but the stories and the state of the gutter and its drainage are what move the number on our jobs.
A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the eave, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaf mat, and that takes longer to clear than a gutter that gets a yearly clean. If you clean your gutters every year, the visit stays short. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, water flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Prineville jobs, the gutter that surprised us most was on a home where the homeowner had skipped several years. The clog was not at the elbow but further down, and the sag had already started to pull the run away from the fascia. We found the buildup, cleared it, ran a flush through the downspout until the water flowed, and photographed the sag so the homeowner could see it. That job is one reason we tell people the first visit tells us what the lot needs. Most of the houses we clean here have the same mix of stories, size and tree cover, and the quote reflects that.
We clean residential and commercial properties, and the same crew handles both. For Prineville homeowners, the price is the number we gave on the phone, and the crew does not add to it once they are up the ladder. For residential properties with heavy tree cover, we plan the visit around the leaves that will come down. For commercial buildings, the price is set per building and scheduled. Our gutter cleaning service gets the same up-front quote on both. Either way, regular gutter cleaning keeps the water moving, and the debris removal is part of the number.
| 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 Prineville customers book twice a year, in the late spring after seed and pollen drop and in the fall after the last leaves. When we open the gutters and downspouts here in May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged under the weight of the water by the first snow. Keep your gutters clear between visits, since a blockage in one downspout backs water up the run, and the crew flushes every downspout so the runs come out clean.
Winter here brings snow in November through February, and the freeze is the reason the fall visit matters. Water trapped in a clogged gutter can freeze at the eave and push ice back under the first course of shingles, and the fascia behind a full run can rot. The runs that sag or pull loose by spring are almost always the ones nobody cleared before the first hard freeze. Around the Prineville area the rainy stretch from November through December puts a lot of rainwater through the system, and a rain gutter that is clean before the heavy rainfall handles it.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts and collect along the roofline between visits. A lot with few or no trees is fine on once a year in late fall. Homes near a busy road or active construction see the same grit build up faster, so they fall in the shorter schedule too. Guards are cleaned less often, but the surface still has to be cleared, because a mat on top of the guard holds water the same way a clean open gutter does. Gutter maintenance on a guarded house still means a visit.
We have a Prineville customer with no trees who books once a year in late fall, and the gutters come out clean every visit. Another customer under trees is on the three-to-four-month schedule and has had no overflow since we started. Both are on their own schedules because the lot dictates it, not because of a rule. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Our gutter services run on that tier from then on.
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 Prineville or the surrounding areas, and our cleaning services in Prineville reach the whole city from the nearest base. To get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We give a quote by phone or text from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the house. A photo of the front helps us see the eaves and the pitch, and it takes a minute. If a run sits flat or you see a leak at a seam, put that in the photo too.
The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills with the seasonal visits. If you want a slot in those months, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The gutter cleaning process stays the same on every visit: the crew works from the outside, and the photos go to your phone before we leave. A twig or a wad of leaf mat the crew pulls out goes in bags and away from your home before the truck leaves. Our cleaning and maintenance visits are booked as one visit, so you are not paying for two trips.
We have cleaned gutters in several Prineville neighborhoods, and the crew knows which areas have heavy tree cover and which are open. That knowledge shapes how we schedule and how many visits a lot needs. If your house is near one of those areas, tell us when you call and we will plan around it. Whatever the tier, our cleanings are scheduled around the lot, and a clean gutter at the end of the visit is the point.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the state of the gutters, and you can get it by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo. We will not guess a figure before we know those things.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, and our gutter services run on the same two windows. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we often find ice at the eave and runs that have sagged.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. If a slot opens sooner, we will tell you.
No. The crew works outside, 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, we flush every downspout, clear the leaves and debris from the outlet, and check that the water is leaving. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard and turn into a mat that holds water. We clean the surface, check that water is getting in, and make sure it keeps running water away from the foundation.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope or capacity problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem. Left alone, that kind of overflow can lead to structural damage at the fascia and soffit.
No. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
