Moon Township gutter cleaning by our own crew: every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave, with each trough clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaves have come down.
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 sitting in the gutter. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the stories and the amount of buildup are what really set the figure.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk adds time. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height at the gutter line. A rain gutter that has not been opened in years comes down packed with compacted debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat take extra time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice. The same logic covers residential properties and commercial properties, so tell us what kind of building it is when you call.
Our experience is mostly with moon township homes where a clog got bad enough to show up as water pouring over the front edge. In one of those jobs the gutter had a sag and a heavy leaves and debris load, and the downspout had to be cleared before the water flow ran clean. The quote we gave on the phone matched the invoice. Gutter cleaning services on a house like that is about getting the clogged downspouts open so the drainage carries water away from your home before it causes structural damage or rot behind the fascia, not about a bigger number. If you see a leak at a seam or rainwater pooling near the foundation, the drainage is probably backed up at the outlet, and that is the first thing we check.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

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 two cleanings a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in the fall after the last leaves come down. Residential and commercial buildings both fit that schedule. Across Pennsylvania the schedule follows the same pattern, but here in Moon Township PA the fall visit matters most, because the freeze comes early enough to turn a backed-up gutter into an ice problem.
When we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds, pollen paste and the odd twig packed into the elbows. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see a sag in the runs by March, after the ice has done its work. Under heavy tree cover, or a landscape that drops leaves onto the roof, we see the same debris build up fast, so those houses are on a three to four month schedule. A clog that forms between visits can turn into a blockage that shows up as water over the edge in the next heavy rainfall. A few trees or none at all means a clean gutter once a year in late fall is usually enough.
Guards change how often you need to clean your gutters, but not the need. Regular gutter cleaning on a guarded system still means clearing the surface of gutters and downspouts, and we check it on the same cycle. Gutter maintenance follows that cycle too. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and you can book the next date from there. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up your first visit.
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 cleans gutters across Moon Township neighborhoods we already know well, and covers surrounding areas from its nearest base. The gutter cleaning process starts with an estimate by phone or text. We ask about stories, the approximate size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. The lead time on a slot is set by the season, so call (866) 435-6328 to see the next open date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows each year, once in late spring and once in late fall, so the earlier you book the better your choice of day. Our gutter services are booked the same way, and homeowners who call early get the pick of the open days. If you want the gutters checked before the next heavy rainfall, tell us when you call and we will work backward from that date. Our goal is to protect your home from water damage before the next big rain, not after it, and to keep your gutters clear all season. Text a photo of the house from the street and a homeowner gets a straight answer on what kind of visit fits your gutters.
Our cleaning services in Moon Township are quoted from stories and size, and we give you the number by phone or text. Tell us the house is two stories and roughly how big it is, and we give you a figure that matches the invoice.
Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed drop. Here the fall visit in late October to November matters most, after the last leaves come down, and if it gets skipped we often find sagging runs by March. Call early to get your gutters on the schedule.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Ask us about the next open date and we will tell you what we have.
No, you do not need to be home. 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 until the water runs clean, and check that the water is leaving at the outlet. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is flowing out the far end and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, a gutter system with gutter guards still needs cleaning and maintenance, but less often. Seed casings and fine litter sit on top of the guard, and once they mat up the rainwater runs over the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them, then flush until the run is clean.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup 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 you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The price you hear on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
