Our own crew cleans gutters for Hershey homeowners, flushes every outlet and checks that it drains, hauls the leaves away, and leaves you a record of the work before we go. Every job ends with clean gutters and water running out the bottom. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover sits over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run November to early December, and we will lay out what that means for your house.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our cleaning services in Hershey are priced from three things: stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Those three decide whether a job is a quick, clean visit or a long one, and we quote it over the phone or by text from them. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some outfits price by the linear foot, but on our jobs the stories and the amount of buildup in the trough matter more than the length of the run.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it gets up the ladder. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the work. On Hershey homes with a walk-out basement or a sloped lot, the effective height of the roofline is higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters that have gone years without being opened hold compacted debris, including twig and grit, that takes longer to clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A run that is mostly clean when the crew arrives takes the least time, and a leak at a seam is reported, not patched on the spot. The gutter cleaning process covers clearing the gutters, flushing the outlets, flow testing and haul-off, all included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Calling or texting a photo of the front of the house is the quickest way for a homeowner to get a number you can rely on. If your gutters have been on a regular plan of cleaning and maintenance for a few years, mention it; the cleanings keep the quote steadier, because routine gutter maintenance keeps the work short. If you want to get your gutters on the calendar, call or text a photo and we will walk through the likely number with you, so the first visit does not come as a surprise. The first visit also gives us a clean baseline to measure the next one against, and a clean run keeps water away from your home.
| 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 |

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, spring visits usually run late May to June, and fall visits run November to early December. For a house across Hershey, the timing lines up with the local climate. The city gets 44.2 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in June, July and September, when heavy rainfall pushes water through a gutter system that is already full. A gutter opened in late May often holds seed casings in the elbows and pollen paste on the trough, and a flush clears what is loose. In the fall it is the leaf load, the wet mat of leaves and debris, and houses that skipped the fall visit tend to show runs that have sagged by spring. Water left sitting in a clogged trough can rot the fascia board behind it, and a clean schedule through spring and fall beats a single emergency visit.
The freeze risk here means ice dams can form at the eave once the first hard cold arrives, and Hershey averages 29.9 inches of snow a year, mostly from December through March. The fall visit is the one that keeps water away from your home before that happens. Under heavy tree cover, needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, so those houses need a shorter schedule, and trees and shrubs near the house drop seed into the landscape and the gutters alike. Few or no trees over the roof usually means one visit a year in late fall is enough, with clogged downspouts checked on each trip. A rain gutter left full through a freeze can end in structural damage that costs far more than the cleaning. A clean gutter with guards on it still needs its surface cleared, but less often. Our gutter cleaning services follow the same calendar for commercial properties, and after the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to book your spring or fall date.
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.

We cover Hershey, PA and the surrounding areas, and we clean gutters across Hershey on residential and commercial jobs. Hershey homes and residential properties get the full scope, and commercial properties get the same treatment as a house, with every outlet flushed and the water flow checked. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date with you once we know the stories, the size and the tree cover.
Lead time is set by our calendar on the day you call, and we will tell you the first open date. Tell us if you already see a clog at an outlet, because it changes how we work the run. We check water flow and drainage at the outlet after the flush, and we tell you if water is not leaving. If the gutters look clean from the ground, say so, and we will spend the time on the runs that are plugged. A run that has started to sag needs the full scope, because the buildup in it holds water that the flush alone will not clear. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, so booking early helps. Booking a gutter cleaning service with us takes one call, and you do not need to be there for the work.
Whenever you are ready to clean your gutters, use the same number, and the calendar does the rest. A rain gutter that has sat full since the last visit needs the full scope, not a quick scoop, and debris removal is part of that scope. Our gutter services stop at cleaning and inspection, and regular gutter cleaning and maintenance keeps the work short.
We give you an estimate by phone or text, and the number comes from stories and size. We do not give a range here because the stories and the size decide the price on your house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will quote it from what you tell us.
Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually run late May to June and fall visits run November to early December. In Hershey, if you wait past the first hard freeze, ice can form at the eave along the roofline and lift shingles, and a clog at the outlet makes it worse. Taking the time to keep your gutters clean is how you protect your home from water damage.
We do not promise same-day service, because our calendar decides it on the day you reach us. Call or text us, and we will tell you the first open date. Homes in the surrounding areas are booked the same way.
No. The work happens outside the house, and you can keep your day as planned. We send a set of photos to your phone once we finish, so you can check the work yourself.
Yes, our gutter services include flushing the whole system and checking that water is leaving the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out of the gutters and downspouts, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over the front edge. We clean the surface, flush every downspout, and check that water is getting in.
If a clean gutter still sends rainwater over the edge, the problem is usually slope or outlet size, not a blockage. Send us a photo or short video taken in the rain, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after. 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.
