Our own crew cleans gutters in Tigard, flushing every downspout, flow-testing each run and hauling the debris off the property. You get photos of every run before we leave. 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 Tigard customers book in spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have finished filling the troughs.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, how large the roof is and what is sitting in the gutter system. Tigard homeowners get the same gutter cleaning process on every job, and we quote from those three things over the phone or by text. 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 is what matters, and that is what we give you up front.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same each time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs more equipment on the ground. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave line, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters that nobody has cleaned in years hold compacted debris, often with a twig wedged at a downspout elbow, and that has to be worked out by hand. A blockage that has been building for a long time takes longer to clear than a fresh gutter clog. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, we tell you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On the Tigard houses we clean, the gutter cleaning services customers ask about most are the ones that run the full drainage path, from the eave to the outlet. When we open a run we check the sag, the buildup and the water flow at the end of each downspout, so you know whether the run is clean and rainwater is leaving the house or sitting in the trough. Tigard homes with heavy tree cover and a wooded landscape tend to need more time per visit, and we price that in from the start. Most of our Tigard work is residential and commercial in mix, and the same crew handles commercial properties and homes alike, with the same flush and photo routine on every run. We also do residential properties in the surrounding areas on the same terms.
If you would like to know the number for your house in Tigard or nearby, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will send a written estimate you can read before you decide, and we will tell you whether regular gutter cleaning would lower what you pay over the year, since it takes less time to clean your gutters before they fill than after.

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 Tigard customers book two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves have come down. Across Oregon the pattern is the same, though the timing shifts a little with the weather. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is leaves and debris packed into the wet leaf mat, and where the winter gets cold enough, the first ice that forms at the eave. Houses that skip the fall visit tend to show runs that sag or pull loose by the wettest part of winter, because the wet months of November through January have been loading them. Each visit we flush every downspout and clean your gutters from end to end, so the runs start the next season clean.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the gutters clog faster, and those customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, since needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Houses with few or no trees need a visit once a year, in late fall, and that is usually enough to keep your gutters clear. Gutters with guards still need gutter maintenance, though less often than open ones, and the surface still needs a clean. Keeping the water moving is how you protect your home from water damage. Before the first visit we ask a few questions about the lot so we can tell you which tier fits.
Houses with no trees over the roofline are the simplest case, and the one fall visit usually keeps the runs clean and flowing through the wet season. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually 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.
The whole city and the towns around it, booked by phone or text from the nearest crew.
Our crew handles cleaning services in Tigard and the homes around it, and we book gutter services from the nearest base without giving you a lead time you cannot hold us to. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front if that is easy. We will ask for the number of stories, the rough square footage, the condition of the gutters and downspouts and whether trees hang over the roof, and from those answers we give you a price by phone or text. We call before we come, and a Tigard homeowner does not need to be home for the visit.
Two stretches of the year fill our calendar. The first is the weeks after the spring seed drop, and the second is the weeks after the last leaves in fall. If you book in one of those windows, call early. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get your gutters on the route. Outside them there is usually room, and a slot can come up within the week. Once you have a date, we confirm it the day before and again when the crew is on the way. Cleaning and maintenance visits are booked the same way, and homes with gutter guards are no exception, since the goal is a clean run before the next storm.
When the forecast calls for heavy rainfall, we move appointments that are not urgent, because a clean job is harder to do safely on a wet surface. If a slot is needed sooner after a storm, call us and tell us what you are seeing at the gutter, and we will put you on the first open route. Getting the water away from your home comes first, before a leak can start.
The first thing to say is that the number for gutter cleaning services comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the cost for a two-story house like yours before you book.
The right time to clean is when the gutters are full, and on our Tigard jobs that is late spring and late fall. If you wait longer, the clogged downspouts and the leaves and debris packed into them become harder to clear, and rain can get behind the rain gutter before we arrive. A leak at the fascia can rot the board behind it and turn into structural damage fast, so it pays to book before the trough overflows.
Same-day service depends on the day. Most of our slots come up within the week for Tigard homeowners, and we will confirm a date when you call.
No, you do not need to be home, and that holds for commercial properties as well as houses. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up, and we leave the yard as clean as we found it.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check where it drains, including the underground lines we can reach and any twig or grit that has plugged the outlet, and we check the outlet runs clean before we leave. Flushing, the flow check and debris removal are all in the quote. Clearing a buried line that is blocked beyond the outlet is a separate job, and we tell you the cost before anyone touches it.
If your gutter system has guards, it still needs cleaning. Under guards on our jobs we find needles threaded through the mesh, seed casings and pollen sitting on top, and grit settled underneath. The guard keeps the leaves out, but the rest still builds up.
If the gutters still overflow after we leave, send us a photo or a short video of the overflow in the rain. A clean gutter that still spills has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem, and we will tell you what it is. Getting the water away from your home is the goal, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for it.
The price does not change once the crew is on site, unless something we find changes the job. If that happens, we stop, tell you what we found and agree on the change before we continue.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
