Our crew covers Sherwood homes. We clean every run, flush every outlet and flow-test it before we pack up. Debris is hauled away, not blown onto the lawn, and you get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning process starts with one number, and that number depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in your 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 gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
What moves the quote on most homes is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up in the air, and gutters nobody has opened in years. A clog that has been building for a long time means more hand work, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, drainage checks and debris removal are already in the number, never billed as extras. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
A gutter packed with compacted leaves and grit on a two-story house is a common picture on a Sherwood gutter cleaning call, where the leaf mat forms a dam and water runs behind the fascia at the low corner. The clogged downspouts were the real problem, so the crew cleared the run until the gutter was clean and checked the water flow at each outlet before leaving. Heavy buildup like that is exactly what a gutter cleaning service quote should ask about up front. Our crew sees the same pattern on commercial properties, where a neglected rain gutter can pull water away from the building and into the walls, and that is how structural damage starts.
| 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 Sherwood homeowners book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the drain elbows, and a clean run from the last visit rarely looks like that. In fall it is leaves and debris, wet and packed together, that holds water in the gutter and lets it spill over the edge. Across Oregon, atmospheric rivers bring heavy rainfall, and a single twig or a wad of leaves can turn a rainy week into a backup. A rainwater backup that starts in fall can become a blockage by winter, and a roofline that holds water through the rains starts to stain, rot and sag.
Under heavy tree cover we have to clean the gutters every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the drain elbows between visits. Few or no trees around the house usually means once a year in late fall. Fall visits usually land in late November to December. Across Oregon, spring visits usually land in mid to late June, which catches the tail of the seed and pollen drop. Sherwood gets about 44 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months include November and December. Guarded gutters need less cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still gets cleared. An estimate from our crew after the first visit tells you which schedule your lot actually needs.
When we open a gutter here in late spring, we often find the buildup has been sitting for months. A clog that could have been cleared in one visit has turned into a job that takes twice as long. That is why we say spring and fall for most houses, and why we are glad to set up regular gutter cleaning with you. Residential and commercial properties both follow this pattern, and most residential properties get the same spring and fall schedule. Clean your gutters on a schedule and you avoid most of the trouble we get called to fix.
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 work out of the nearest base, so you will not wait on a long trip to any house across Sherwood. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text for a quote from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover there is. Get your gutters on the calendar early, since the two busy windows of the year fill faster. A photo of the house front helps us see the roofline and the gutter run, so we know what a clean job looks like before we arrive.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew sends photos to your phone when the job is done, so you can see the condition of every run after we clean it. The same process keeps the homeowner informed, and it helps protect your home from water damage that can start with a single leak or a single clog. Our goal is simple: keep your gutters and downspouts working through the rains, and move the water away from your home.
If you have questions about cleaning services in Sherwood or the surrounding areas, or about work beyond the basic clean, ask on the call. We will tell you what we do, what we do not do, and what we would photograph and report instead. Either way, you leave with a clear picture of your house.
Gutter cleaning services in Sherwood are priced from stories and size, and we give the number to you by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not quote a figure without those details. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Most homeowners book in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves. If you wait past fall, the wet leaf mat can hold water through the first freeze, and that is how runs start to sag.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day work depends on the calendar that day, so ask us on the phone.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, the gutter cleaning process includes flushing every drain run and checking the water flow at each outlet. If a buried line needs clearing, we tell you and quote it separately before anyone touches it.
Yes, gutter guards still need a clean surface, so regular gutter cleaning covers the top of the guard, the outlets and the seating of each panel. Twigs, needles and grit work through the guard, and once they mat up, water runs over the edge instead of into the trough.
If your gutter system is clean and still spills water in the rain, it is usually a slope or drain size problem rather than debris. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. Water that spills over the edge can soak the landscape beds and rot the fascia, so we will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
