Our own crew cleans gutters here, every run flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and debris hauled away, and photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we keep the schedule that way on purpose.
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, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a quote over the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, built from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Homeowners comparing cleaning services in Jefferson Hills will hear different pricing methods. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run of gutter, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, four things move the price. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not seen a clean in years come down heavy with compacted leaves, seed mat and the odd twig, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job, a two-story house with moderate tree cover had its back run packed with wet leaves and an elbow with a clog of seed casings. The crew flushed it until it ran clear at the bottom, and the before and after photos show a clean run. The job we did not expect was a loose hanger on the front run that could start a leak, which we photographed and reported without repairing it. Customers who want a regular gutter maintenance schedule hear the tier from us after the first visit, not from a sales script. To get your gutters looked at takes a short call, and a text of the front of the house helps us quote without guessing. That is how we keep the number honest from the start, whatever the cleaning and maintenance needs turn out to be.
| 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 most of our customers book twice a year, in late May or June after the spring seed and pollen drop, and again in late October or November after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into clogged downspouts, and a clean run in May makes the November cleanings faster. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find runs that show sag or have pulled loose by March under ice. Snow falls here from December through March, 21.4 inches a year, and a sagging run that goes unchecked can lead to structural damage and rot at the fascia.
Under heavy tree cover, or in a landscape with mulch beds and a busy road close by, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the gutter between visits and a rain gutter clogs faster than a single seasonal clean can keep up with. One blockage at an elbow can push rainwater over the edge in a single storm. On lots with few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough for our gutter cleaning services. Guards cut the frequency, but we still clear the surface and check drainage, because a guard does not keep your gutters honest on its own.
On one Jefferson Hills job with no trees over the house, the once-a-year schedule was enough, and the photos from the fall visit showed a clean gutter system with steady water flow that sends water away from your home. Another customer with heavy shade stays on the three-month schedule, and the crew finds the same buildup of needles and grit on each visit. Precipitation runs about 41.3 inches a year here, and heavy rainfall in May, June and July tests any schedule hardest. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and nothing more.
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 covers Jefferson Hills homes from the nearest base, and we work every street across Jefferson Hills that has a gutter on it. This page covers Jefferson Hills only, not the surrounding areas. Booking starts with a call or text from your stories, your home's size and whether trees hang over the house. A photo of the front of the house helps us quote without guessing. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the earliest slot we have when you call. Our schedule fills in the spring and fall, which are the two busy windows of the year, so booking early is the simplest way to get the date you want. Every gutter cleaning service we book follows the same process, and each visit ends with a clean job and photos on your phone.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you want one date for the whole season, we can hold it for the twice-a-year schedule, and the photos from each visit go to your phone. Our regular gutter cleaning is for residential properties. Commercial properties are a different job, so this page does not quote residential and commercial work together. Whether you are a homeowner in Jefferson Hills, our gutter services are booked the same way, and the same crew comes back for every visit. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house, or book a date and we will confirm it.
The number comes from your stories and your home's size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details. For a two-story house in Jefferson Hills PA, call (866) 435-6328 and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Most homeowners we see here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the seeds and the leaves are down, and that is when we clean your gutters most often. Cleaning on that schedule helps protect your home from water damage. If the fall visit is skipped, a clog left over winter is harder to clear, and we often find sagging runs by March on houses in this area.
Same-day depends on what the calendar holds that day. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so you know exactly when the crew is coming.
No, you do not need to be home. The 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, and the crew leaves a clean yard.
Yes, we flush every downspout, and the gutters and downspouts are checked until water runs clear at the outlet. If water is not leaving through an underground drain line, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need gutter maintenance. On our jobs we find surface grit sitting on top of the guards and water not getting in, so the crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and leaves the gutter clean before checking flow. The schedule is usually longer than for an open gutter.
If a clean gutter still spills water over the edge in rain, the cause is slope or downspout size, not a cleaning problem. Show us what it does with a photo or a short clip taken during a storm, and we will say what it is. A second cleaning will not fix a slope problem, so we will not sell one.
The price is the one we gave you, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts. Nothing is added on the invoice without your agreement first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
