Our own crew cleans gutters in Lebanon, flushes every downspout and flow-tests the run, hauls everything away, and takes photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the roof, 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, when seed drop and leaf fall have finished their work on the gutters.
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 much square footage sits under the roof, and what is already packed in the gutters. We quote it 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, and that lands in a similar place once the length is measured, but we would rather give you one figure for the whole house. Our gutter cleaning services work the same way on commercial properties, so the quote follows the length of the run and the load in it.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk is the first thing that moves the number, because the crew needs a boom or scissor lift and more time up top. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot can make the back run sit much higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down heavy: buildup of leaves and grit is slower to clear than loose material, and a run that has started to sag holds water the whole way down. Guards we have to lift and reseat also add time, and we tell you that before we start.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. We check the water flow at each outlet before the number is final. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice. Where the water is not carried away from your home, or a run is pulling loose, we photograph it and put it in the report so you know what we saw. Our gutter cleaning process starts at the outlets, because a rain gutter that drains slowly is the first thing we look at. A clean gutter that still overflows in heavy rainfall is a slope question, and we say so.
Our experience in Lebanon tells us the same thing. On most of the houses we see, the buildup in the back run and the clogged downspouts that are already carrying water to the wrong spot set the time up top, and nothing else does. Most of our Lebanon homes have the same story: the clog sits in one place, the drainage fails there first, and that is where the structural damage and rot start if it is left alone.
| 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 in Lebanon PA book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop is done, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit falls late May to June, and that is when we open a gutter and find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. The fall visit falls late October to November, and that is when we see the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped it we see runs sagging by March under the weight of ice. A blockage in the elbow backs the whole run up. That is when the gutter pulls away from the roofline and the rainwater starts running behind the fascia. A gutter that is clean in May can still be full of wet leaves by November.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers come back more often than twice a year, because needles and grit pack into the elbows between visits and a single twig can back up the whole run. That is regular gutter cleaning on a set schedule, not an emergency visit. Houses with few or no trees need a clean once a year in late fall, and that is enough. Gutters with guards still need the surface cleared, and debris removal is included when we do it, so the bags leave with the truck.
On residential properties near a busy road or construction, grit can drop into the gutters faster than leaves do, and that also shortens the interval. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, by the stories, the run length and the mess in it. We ask about it when we talk to you on the phone, because it changes how often we would come back to the same lot. We leave the lot clean either way.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutters and the outlets. For most lots, two cleanings a year is where we start, and we adjust from there. Ask us how often to clean your gutters once we have seen the house, and we will give you a straight answer. That is the core of gutter maintenance: a visit on the calendar, not a repair after the fascia has gone. Booking a visit with us also gets you on the calendar before the busy weeks, when the schedule for gutter cleaning service in the area fills up.
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 Lebanon and the surrounding areas from the nearest base and cleans residential homes across Lebanon. Lebanon homeowners usually call once in spring and once in fall, and the Lebanon gutter cleaning schedule follows that pattern. When you call or text, we ask for your stories, the approximate square footage and whether there are trees over the roof, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We give you an estimate from those details, and if it fits your schedule we book the visit on the spot. We confirm the date once you accept. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The busy windows on our calendar are late spring and late fall, when customers are booking the two regular visits. Each homeowner gets photos of every run before the crew leaves, and you can keep those for your records. If you can book early in the year, you get more of a choice of dates, and you get your gutters on the schedule before the busy weeks. Our crew checks for a leak at each joint and reports it if it is there, so nothing is left to guess about. Where a downspout empties onto a landscape bed, we check that the water runs away from the house and not back toward the foundation. Our crew keeps the work clean and quiet, and nobody has to be home.
Our gutter services cover the gutters and downspouts, and our crew checks the water flow so the house drains the way it should, and leaves the ground clean. If you have gutter guards, they still need cleaning and maintenance, and we lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them. Keeping the gutters clear is how you protect your home from water damage, so we flush every downspout and check the outlet before we leave. If you have a question about the house or the gutter system before you book, ask us on the phone and we will answer it honestly. Keep your gutters clean between visits by checking the outlets after heavy rain, and we will show you where to look.
The number comes from the stories and the square footage, and from how much debris is in the gutters. We serve homes across Lebanon on the same quote basis. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front and we will give you a quote.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. Book early so you get your gutters done before the first hard freeze, because the ice can already be pulling runs loose before we get there.
Our cleaning services in Lebanon book by phone, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service on every job, and we will give you a clean timeline when you call.
No. The gutter cleaning process happens outside only. Our crew does not come inside, leaves the yard clean, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving at the outlet and carried away from your home. Where an outlet dumps onto a landscape bed, we check that the water does not pool against the foundation. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote that before anyone touches it.
On our jobs we find surface buildup, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guards, and that still blocks the water. Gutter guards still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often. The job is shorter than an open gutter, but it is not gone.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope or downspout size rather than debris. That is a different job from routine gutter maintenance. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will check the whole gutter system and tell you what it is.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number 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.
