Our own crew cleans gutters in Falls PA, flushes every downspout, tests the flow, and leaves the trough clean. Debris goes in the truck, and photos of every run reach your phone 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. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote. We have been doing this work across Pennsylvania for years, and most of our booked spring and fall visits come in the weeks after the seed drop and after the last leaves come down.
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. We give an estimate 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 on our jobs the stories and the build-up decide most of it.
What moves the price on our jobs is usually a third story or a steep pitch to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaf mat, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear the trough. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most of our work for Falls homeowners is on residential homes, and the clog we find most often is a run where the leaf mat and the sag have been building since the last visit. When a rain gutter sags, the water sits in the low spot and the clog spreads back toward the downspout. We clear the whole length, flush every downspout, and check that the drainage is leaving at the outlet. Clogged downspouts on a sagging run are the usual reason it overflows, and that is the routine clean, the same whether the house is on a quiet street or a busy one.
Our crew has worked on residential properties and commercial properties, and gutter cleaning services in Falls come down to the same things on each: where the water goes, how the leaf mat got there, and whether the trough is clean and the flow is back to normal. We do not give you a rate card here. We give you the number after we have seen the roofline and asked the three questions.
| 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 book two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and the rainwater runs over the lip instead of down the pipe. In November it is the wet leaves and debris, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs by March that have sagged under ice.
Falls homes under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the house and a wooded landscape around it, are on a shorter schedule, every three to four months, because needles, twig fragments and grit pack the downspout between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. A clog that forms between visits usually starts at the first elbow, where the buildup is worst, and a leak at the seam below it is often the first sign. By the time water sheets off the front edge, the blockage has been building for weeks.
Our crew works the whole gutter system on each visit, not just the stretch you see from the driveway, and leaves it clean. We clear the trough, flush every downspout, and check the gutters and downspouts as one system, looking for the early signs of water pulling away from the wall. That keeps the water away from your home and the foundation, and it is how we protect your home from water damage over the years. Our crew works through the surrounding areas on the same schedule, so the calendar stays steady for the whole neighborhood.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Ask us to walk the gutters and we will show you where the water is going, which downspout is running clear, and which one is not. From there the schedule is simple. Most of our gutter services and gutter maintenance run on that schedule, so the crew keeps to it. If you clean your gutters yourself between visits, the trough is the easy part, and the downspout is where people get stuck. To keep your gutters clean before the rain arrives, the schedule does most of the work.
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 Falls from the nearest base and does not need a special trip for each street. Book with us by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text to get your gutters on the calendar, and send a photo of the front of the house if it is easy. Tell us the stories and whether trees hang over the house. We will work out the price from those three things and give you a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the outside work.
The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months if you are a homeowner who wants a specific day, and expect a short wait in the peak weeks. Outside of those windows the calendar is open and the lead time is shorter. We confirm the slot when you call so there are no surprises on the day.
Every visit follows the same plan. The crew clears the troughs until they are clean, flushes each downspout, checks the water flow, and sends you photos of each run. Anything we see that is not a cleaning problem gets photographed and reported. Nothing is sold on the ladder. Our falls work is the same job we do across the state, and it is the same gutter cleaning process from one house to the next.
If heavy rainfall is in the forecast before your visit, call us and we will work with the weather. A clean system handles heavy rainfall better, and a gutter with a clog will overflow long before the trough is full. Keeping on the schedule is the simplest way to avoid that, and it keeps your home clear of the cleaning and maintenance problems that come from neglect.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not put a figure on the page, because the number depends on what is in your gutters and how the house is laid out. Once we have those three things, the quote is the price we charge.
Our customers here book in late spring, after the seed drop, and in late fall, after the last leaves come down. If the fall visit is skipped, we often find sagging runs by March after the first hard freeze. Waiting until the water is already over the edge means a bigger job, a fascia that can rot, and structural damage that has already started.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. Same-day availability depends on the calendar that week, so call early in the day if you need a fast slot.
No. Our 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, every downspout is flushed until the water runs clean, and we check that the water leaves at the outlet. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before we touch it.
Yes. Under guards we still find twigs threaded through the mat, seed casings on top, and grit settled underneath. Once that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the downspout and reseat the guards.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. We quote from stories, size and tree cover, and if anything changes the job we tell you before work starts. The number we quote 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.
