Our own crew gives Dunmore homes a clean, careful gutter job: every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, and 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. Across Pennsylvania most of our customers book in the spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the last leaves, and that is the rhythm we work to. Tell us about the house and we will tell you what the visit costs.
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, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Most gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place per foot of run, though the total is what you actually pay. Dunmore homes differ in height and pitch, so a per-foot figure never tells the whole story.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk means a boom or scissor lift and a longer visit. A walk-out basement or a landscape that slopes toward the house raises the effective height of the gutter line, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a heavy buildup of compacted grit, and that takes time to clear by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. A clog that has sat for a season usually means the run has a sag in it, and a sag holds water instead of letting it move. Badly clogged downspouts add time, so each one is priced as its own line. Left alone, a clogged run can cause structural damage and let the fascia rot. The same logic holds for commercial properties, where run length and access set the price. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. On every rain gutter we check the water flow at the outlet, because clear drainage is the test that matters. We price the gutter system as one piece, from the top edge to the outlet, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice. The whole point is to get water away from the foundation.
Here is what we have seen on the houses we clean. On one customer's home in a neighborhood where our crew works most springs, the stories and tree cover were the whole story: a two-story house with a heavy canopy over the back run, where the leaves and debris had sat long enough to form a mat. Our crew cleared it run by run, flushed every downspout, and found water moving freely from the top of the gutter to the outlet. That is the work the quote pays for, a clean run from top to outlet. The rest of the price comes from the same three things, every time. If you want an exact figure, text a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and tell us the stories.
| 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.
Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June. In Dunmore PA the fall visit usually lands in late October to November. Most of our customers here book twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, after the seed and pollen drop and again after the last leaves. In the spring visit the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste. In the fall visit it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall cleaning we find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter. Because freeze risk is real here, the fall visit is the one that keeps ice from building at the eave.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the house, our customers keep to a schedule of every three to four months, because seeds and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses to keep a clean run. Keeping up with regular gutter cleaning is what keeps a clean run from filling between seasons.
A gutter that is cleaned on schedule keeps the rainwater moving and the roofline dry, and it makes a later estimate for repairs far less likely to be needed. In heavy rainfall, a clean gutter sheds water and a clogged one spills it. Our wettest months are June, August and September, so the runs carry the most water then. When a visit turns up a clog or a blockage that has been building for a season, we photograph it and tell you what it is. Our schedule covers residential and commercial buildings alike, and a gutter service on the same calendar fits both. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we keep the calendar from there. You can clean your gutters on a regular schedule without guessing, and the crew will tell you when the next visit should be.
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 gutter services run across Dunmore, for Dunmore homeowners and the surrounding areas, from our own crews who know the streets. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy for you. Whether it is a single house or a row of them, the crew starts with a clean look at the gutter and the downspouts. We will tell you the typical lead time when you call, and we confirm a date before we come. The calendar fills in two busy windows, late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months keeps your slot. Every Dunmore gutter cleaning is booked the same way, so the quote you get is the one we work to.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work itself, so each homeowner can keep the day. The crew stays outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone. If you want more in one visit, we also clean windows at ground level, and we handle commercial properties on a per-building schedule. Residential properties follow the same photo and invoice rules, and repeat cleanings are booked on the same calendar, so the second and third visits fall in the right window. Gutter guards change the interval, but the surface still needs clearing. A twig or two in the trough is routine; a packed run is not.
Our goal is to protect your home from water damage before it starts, and to keep your gutters clean and draining the way they were built to. On every visit we flush every downspout and check where it drains. Gutters and downspouts are checked as one job, not two. A leak at a joint or seam gets photographed and reported, not fixed on the spot. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the visit looks like and when we can get there.
The number comes from stories and size, and we quote it by phone or text from those two things. We do not give a figure in advance because the same two-story house can need very different work depending on what is in the gutters. The quote is the price we charge.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the seed and pollen drop and again after the leaves are down. If you wait past the fall visit, we find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter, and in freeze months the water from melting snow has nowhere to go.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and the quickest way to get your gutters on the calendar is to call or text. We confirm a date when you call so you know exactly when the crew arrives.
No. The process runs outside: the crew calls before they arrive, works every gutter and downspout, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. The crew does not come inside and leaves the walkways clean. 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, which is the part of gutter maintenance that shows whether water is actually leaving. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and running away from your home. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often. Guards hold the leaves off, but seed casings and grit settle on top of them and can keep water from getting in. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge in heavy rainfall has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
No, the price you were quoted is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
