Our own crew cleans gutters in Lower Moreland, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, waste hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most customers book in spring and fall, and we can give you a firm date once we know your house.
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 in the gutters. For Lower Moreland homeowners we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning service companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, but on our jobs the house itself drives the number more than the footage does.
Four things move the quote most often. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the working height of the eave. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with compacted leaf mass, and that clog takes longer to work out of the trough. Guards we have to lift, clean underneath and reseat add time on every run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, such as a gutter system that sags or a joint that has started to leak, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a steep, shaded two-story house the leaf load can build up fast in one season, so the crew spent most of the visit on the rain gutter and the clogged downspouts rather than the trough. The homeowner saw the photos of each run before the truck left and knew exactly where the time went. That is the pattern across homes like yours: the quote follows the house, not a rate card. Moving water away from your home is the point of the whole job, and a sag or a blockage found early is far cheaper to fix than the structural damage it causes later. Where the water flow at the outlet looks slow, we flag it in the report, and a run that runs clear at the bottom has been flow-tested, not just scooped. Commercial properties are priced per building, and the same rule applies there.
| 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 spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or rot at the fascia before March under ice. The first clean tells us how fast a gutter clogs on your lot.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on regular gutter cleaning every three to four months, because needles, twig pieces and grit pack the downspout between visits and a clog backs the rainwater up before it reaches the drain. The wettest stretch, July through September with heavy rainfall, makes that backup show up first. Snow lands from December through March, about 19.9 inches a year, and a full gutter going into winter can ice up at the eave. A house with a simple landscape and few or no trees around it is usually fine with one visit a year in late fall. Guards cut down on how often the trough fills, but they do not stop the buildup underneath, so the surface still needs a clean on the same schedule.
The regular visit is not a repair or a new install, so when we find a hanger pulled or a seam dripping we photograph it, put it in the report, and leave the repair to someone else. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs for gutter maintenance. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up that first visit, or text us a photo of the gutters and we will tell you what we see. Between visits, look in the trough and check that each downspout drains at the bottom.
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 lower moreland pa from the nearest base, along with the surrounding areas, and we hold your place on the schedule from the first call. Book your gutter cleaning by phone or text. We need your stories, the size of the house, whether trees hang over the roofline, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. Lead time depends on the week, so we tell you the first open slot when you call. The two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works outside and does not come inside. If you try to clean your gutters with a ladder and a garden hose, the downspout elbow is usually where it stalls. Our gutter services cover the gutters and downspouts end to end, and on residential properties we flush every downspout as part of the standard visit. Every one of our cleanings includes debris removal, and we also work on residential and commercial buildings on a set schedule. If you want your gutters working through the year, set up a regular schedule and we will flag any problem we find so it does not turn into water damage later. A regular schedule helps you protect your home from water damage over the long run, and that cleaning and maintenance routine is the reason to call us first. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you over the phone or by text. We do not quote a range here because the house decides it. Once you tell us the stories, the footage and whether trees hang over the roof, the figure we give is the figure you pay.
Our fall visits run November to early December, which puts the second visit ahead of the first hard freeze, so book early enough to get your gutters done before then. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually run late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. A clean trough going into winter is the goal, and if the gutters wait until after a freeze, we usually find ice working at the eave and runs that have started to sag.
Same-day depends on the week, and across lower moreland most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call. If you have a specific day in mind, ask when you book and we will tell you whether it is open.
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, and that is all we need from you.
Yes, that is part of the gutter cleaning process. Every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep whole leaves out, but seed casings, grit and needles still build up on top and underneath. On our jobs we lift the panels, clean underneath, flush the downspout and reseat the guards. A guarded system usually runs on a longer schedule than an open one.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or a short video taken 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. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is and agree on the new number before work continues. You never see a surprise charge on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
