Our own crew will clean gutters in Sandy, each stretch flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover sits above it, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Oregon, most of our customers book for the two visits a year, spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaves are done. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the schedule.
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, whether that is a light film of seed or a full clog. We quote residential properties over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place per run of gutter, though the total can look different on paper.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story, or a pitch too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift rather than a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with buildup, and a run that sags under the weight takes longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are already in the price and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, we tell you before work starts, not on the invoice, and the crew leaves the site clean.
Here is what that looks like on a real job. Sandy homes with heavy tree cover tend to need more time than open lots, because the leaves and needles pack into the outlets and the gutter clogs faster than it can shed water. Sandy homeowners see this most on the longer quotes. On one Sandy house, the quote moved up because the gutters had not been cleaned in several years and the elbows were blocked. We cleared the buildup, flushed each run, and checked the water flow at the outlets before we left. Same job, same crew, same flow check on every house we clean, whatever the size.
Most people here book the regular gutter cleaning service on a set schedule, which keeps the drainage working and stops a small clog from becoming water damage. For residential and commercial properties alike, the number comes from the same three things: stories, size and what we find when we open the gutter. Ask for the quote and we will walk you through it, and if you want to clean your gutters before the season turns, call first.
| 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 in Sandy or the surrounding areas book twice a year, once after the seed and pollen drop in spring and again after the last leaves come down in fall. Those are the two visits that cover most houses here, and they keep your gutters clean so the rainwater does not back up before the wet months arrive.
In spring, the outlet elbows are packed with seeds, seed casings and pollen paste. In fall, it is the leaf load, and where the winters freeze we also look for the first ice at the eave. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have found runs that began to sag or had pulled loose by January, which is one of the wettest months here. Water that cannot leave the gutter sits in the trough, and any blockage at the outlet sends it over the edge onto the fascia, which starts to rot.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers book cleanings every three to four months, because needles, grit and twig fragments pack the drains and collect along the roofline between visits. Lots with few or no trees usually need one visit a year, late November to December. Homes with gutter guards still need the surface kept clean, a little less often than open gutters.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot needs. We check the gutters and downspouts and flush every downspout so the flow is clear from the start. Keep your gutters on a schedule, and that is the cheapest way we know to protect your home from water damage. It also keeps our gutter services running as they should between visits.
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.
We clean gutters across Sandy from our own crews, and the work covers the whole city rather than a single block. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 for a quote by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees sit over the house, and if it is easy, send a photo of the front of the house. That is usually enough for a firm estimate.
Lead time depends on the season. The two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, fill fastest, and a stretch of heavy rainfall fills them faster. Get your gutters on the calendar early, because the earlier you call the better your choice of date. We call before we come, and a homeowner does not need to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and they clean up before they leave.
Regular visits make a difference, and we handle cleaning and maintenance on a set schedule, so you are not calling after the first overflow or the first leak. A homeowner who books on the same cycle every year gets the same crew, the same flow check at every outlet so the water runs away from your home, and the photos sent to their phone at the end of the visit. That gutter cleaning process is the same on every job, from the first visit to the next, and it covers gutter maintenance too.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and how full the gutters are. Our cleaning services in Sandy are priced the same way every time: we give the figure by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, and it is the number on your invoice. Flushing and debris removal are included.
Our customers here book a spring visit, which across Oregon usually falls in mid to late June, and a fall visit in late November to December. If the fall visit is skipped, the leaf load and the first ice can leave runs sagging by January, one of the wettest months here. Under heavy tree cover we see customers come back every three to four months.
Same-day depends on the calendar at the time you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you book, so you can keep the yard clean and clear the day before.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and leaves the landscape as clean as it was found. Photos of every run go to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush each drain run and check that the water is leaving at the outlet. A backed-up run usually means clogged downspouts somewhere along it. If a buried drain line needs clearing, that is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it. Our goal is simple: get the water away from the house.
Yes. Guards keep out the leaves and debris, but on our jobs we still find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and the water cannot get in. A guarded gutter system still needs its surface cleared, so we clean it off and check the flow, usually on a slightly longer interval than open gutters.
A gutter that is clean but still overflows in the rain has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video of the rain gutter running over, taken during the rain, and we will tell you what it is. Left alone, that overflow can cause structural damage at the fascia, so we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after. The number we give 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.
