Our own crew leaves your gutters clean, every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most homeowners book in spring and fall, and that is when we are busiest.
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 big the gutter system is and what is sitting in the gutters. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once you do the math, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach, and a walk-out basement can put the back run two stories up from the patio. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down heavy, with leaves and debris packed into the elbows and a sagging run that can point to structural damage or rot at the fascia. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off of the debris are part of the cleaning and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is what we see on Lansdale homes most often. Clogged downspouts are usually the first problem, at the elbow below the gutter where leaves and grit make a dense plug, and the drainage problem shows up as water running over the edge during heavy rainfall. A rain gutter with buildup can look fine from the ground and still fail to carry water away from the fascia, and a seam that has come apart often shows up as a leak at the corner. When we flush a downspout and water comes out the bottom slowly or not at all, we note it on the photo list and tell you what it is. Our work here covers residential and commercial properties alike, and the same rules apply: quote first, no surprise charges, and every run left clean. Our crew runs all of our gutter cleaning services the same way, whether the building is a house or a storefront.
If your gutters have been left a long time, expect a bigger job the first visit and a smaller one after. Once the leaves and grit are out and the runs drain clean, the next cleaning is faster and the water flow stays steady. That is how we keep the cost predictable for homeowners who book regular cleanings.
| 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 twice a year, once in late spring after the seeds and pollen drop and again in late October to November after the last leaves come down. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June. In late spring we open the elbows, find seeds and pollen paste packed in tight, and clean out every one. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that sagged under the first ice by March.
Under heavy tree cover, we are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the elbows between visits and the rainwater stops moving. Through July, August and September, heavy rainfall is the test, so start those months with clean runs. Homes with few or no trees do fine on one visit a year in late fall. Homes with guards still need the surface cleared, and we schedule them less often but never skip the check. A clog that sits all winter becomes a blockage that is hard to clear in spring, so the timing matters more than most people expect.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your roofline actually needs, and we put the next date on the calendar before we leave. Spring and fall are the two busy windows, so the sooner you call, the sooner we can get your gutters on the calendar. Regular gutter cleaning and gutter maintenance are the simplest way to clean your gutters on time and avoid extra charges for debris removal. The same schedule works for residential properties and small commercial sites in Lansdale PA.
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 the surrounding areas, and we keep a steady schedule across Lansdale. Booking with us is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your gutters, tell us your stories and roughly how much tree cover is over the house, and we give you a quote over the phone. If the photo is easy to send, it helps us spot a leak, a clog or a sag before we come out, and that gives us a clean start on the job.
We call before we arrive and nobody needs to be home, so you can keep your schedule while we keep ours. If you want a homeowner-friendly plan, ask us about regular visits and we set the calendar for the year. The busiest weeks are late spring and late fall, so booking early helps. Our gutter services cover the gutters and downspouts, and runs that empty onto the landscape get checked as well. We aim to keep your gutters working before the next storm, and a single call is often enough to get on the schedule.
Once we have your address, we confirm the date in writing. That keeps the job on time and the surprises off the invoice, and your runs stay clean between visits. We are glad to keep your gutters flowing and to help you protect your home from water damage before it starts. Keeping water away from your home is the whole point.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutter system. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the gutters, and we give you one clean price over the phone that is the same price on the invoice.
Our customers usually book in late spring and in late October to November, after seeds and pollen drop and after the last leaves come down. If you wait past the first hard freeze, the gutters can sag and ice gets into the outlets, which is harder to clean out and harder to fix.
Same-day is not something we promise. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Cleaning services in Lansdale fill up first in spring and fall, so booking early gets you the date you want.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the crew leaves the yard clean.
Yes. We flush every downspout and watch the water come out the bottom. If an underground line is involved, we check that the water leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. Your gutter guards hold leaves off, but needles, seed casings, grit and the odd twig work through the mesh and mat on top, and the water never gets in. We lift the panels, clean underneath and reseat them.
If a clean gutter still spills water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or outlet size, not the leaves. Send us a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. The gutter cleaning process stays the same: if we find something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is and agree on the new number before we continue. The balance is charged when the job is done and the photos are on your phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
