Our own crew cleans gutters in Monroeville. Every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, the leaves are hauled off, and the gutters are left clean with photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. A homeowner usually books in the spring and fall, and we can give you a quote from a few quick answers.
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. 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 services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of gutter, but the stories and the height of the eaves are what we actually look at on the ground.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a landscape that slopes steeply raises the effective height of the back run. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed solid with buildup, and getting it clean takes more time on the ladder, so debris removal is priced in. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step. Flushing clogged downspouts, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, we raise it with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is how the job runs on a house like yours. The crew checks the house, walks the gutter runs, clears the leaves and debris and the grit, and we flush every downspout to carry water away from your home. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the water flow and drainage at the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. A run that has pulled loose or begun to sag can point to structural damage, and we flag it before anything else. Monroeville homes have a wide mix of gutter ages and tree cover, so the same street can need very different time on the ladder. We would rather know the house than guess at it, which is why the first step is always a short conversation about how the house is laid out.
We handle residential and commercial work, and commercial properties are priced per building. For a residential home, the quote is built around the three things above, and you get a clean number before anyone climbs a ladder. If you want to know what your house needs before you book, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us roughly how many stories it has and whether big trees hang over the eaves.
| 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 Monroeville customers book twice a year, in the spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves are down. Twice a year is a sensible rhythm if you want to clean your gutters before the worst of the buildup arrives. In spring we open gutters full of 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 find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the time winter ends.
How often you need regular gutter cleaning depends on what is over it. Houses under heavy tree cover get cleaned every three to four months, because needles and debris clog the downspout between visits, and debris removal is part of every visit. Residential properties with few or no trees near the house do well with one cleaning a year in late fall. Gutters with guards still need the surface cleared, usually on a less frequent schedule, and we check the water flow underneath while we are there. We apply the same schedule logic to residential and commercial buildings.
When we open a gutter in spring we often find the first clog right at the elbow, where the seeds collect. When we open one in November we find the leaf mat has been sitting wet on the back run for weeks. Either way, a blockage like that means the gutter is full, stops draining, and rainwater starts running behind the fascia, along the roofline and the soffit instead of out of the downspout. In heavy rainfall, that is the sign we look for first, and a clean run is the fix.
After your first clean, we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a gutter cleaning service for the spring or fall window, or text a photo of your house and we will give you an estimate from it.
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 Monroeville PA from the nearest base, and we work across Monroeville and the surrounding areas. Booking Monroeville gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text, built from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof. A photo of the house front helps us see the layout before we come out, though it is not required.
Lead time is usually short, and we confirm the exact date when you call. The calendar fills in two busy stretches of the year, the spring window after the seed drop and the fall window after the leaves come down, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. Every gutter cleaning visit starts with a call, and nobody needs to be home for it. Houses with gutter guards get the same visit, and the crew lifts the guards to clear what sits underneath, so the gutters go out clean.
Our cleanings and maintenance visits are built to protect your home from water damage, and our gutter services are meant to keep your gutters and downspouts working between visits too. A twig or a bit of seed in the elbow can start a leak between visits, so if you notice one, tell us when you book. If you have questions about what we will flush or check on your house, ask us then. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with a photo and we will help you get your gutters on the calendar with a date.
The gutter cleaning process starts with the number, which comes from how many stories the house has, its size and what is in the gutters. We quote it by phone or text, and that quote is what you pay. Call (866) 435-6328 for cleaning services in Monroeville and we will walk through the number with you.
Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually run late May to June. Fall visits usually run late October to November. Locally, June, July and August are the wettest months, and heavy rainfall then finds any gutter that is still full, so a spring clean done before that stretch keeps water moving through the summer. Waiting past the fall window on a freeze-risk house usually means ice at the eave and runs that have sagged by the time winter ends. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the schedule before the wet months.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day availability depends on the calendar that week, so we will tell you honestly what we have open across Monroeville.
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.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet, so a clean run actually drains away from your home. If a downspout feeds an underground line that is not draining, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards are part of the gutter system and keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit settle on top and turn to a paste that stops water getting in, and water that backs up can rot the fascia. That is why guards do not replace gutter maintenance, and why our cleaning and maintenance visits still include them. We clear what sits on the guard, check the water flow underneath and reseat anything we lifted.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge in rain usually has a slope, landscape or drain problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The quote is built from your stories, size and tree cover, and a clean finish at that number is what you pay. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is and agree on it before we go on.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
