Our crew cleans gutters in Mount Lebanon, clearing every run and flow-testing each one, hauling the debris away and sending you 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 of our customers book in the spring and fall, when the seeds, leaves and grit have built up.
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 gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the height of the roofline and the condition of the gutter system do more to set the number than the length alone.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to work safely. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape puts the back run higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves and grit, with clogged downspouts that take longer to flush, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most Mount Lebanon homes have gutters that clog at the same few points: the corners, the elbows and the low runs where water sits. When the gutter fills, water runs over the edge, a seam can start to leak, and the fascia behind it starts to rot. That rot becomes structural damage if it runs for years. A clean rain gutter with open drainage avoids that. We see the sag and the buildup most often on the back runs that nobody can see from the street, and we flush every downspout so the runs stay clean and the water flow sends water away from your home. Our regular gutter cleaning schedule is set around what we find on each visit, and we tell you what the lot needs after the first job.
On our jobs, we have cleaned gutters across a range of homes, and the quote moved on the ones with the heaviest load of leaves and grit and the most stories. We do not work from a rate card; we work from the house. Residential and commercial jobs are scoped the same way. Residential properties and commercial properties both get a price from the three things the caller tells us and a photo of the front of the house sent by text.
| 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.
Homeowners here often book two cleanings a year, and most houses on our schedule get one in each window. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seeds and pollen drop, and the fall visit in late October or November, after the last leaves. In May we find the elbows packed with seeds and pollen paste. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs pull loose under the weight of ice by March. Rainwater that cannot leave the gutter backs up under the shingles and into the eave, and that is when a small blockage becomes a rot problem.
Under heavy tree cover, twig and needle debris packs the gutters between visits, so every three to four months is the schedule we keep. With few or no trees near the house, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Gutter guards are a different job: they keep the big leaves out, but the surface still needs clearing, so they are on a longer schedule with the surface kept clean each time.
Here is what we look for when we open a gutter in the spring: seed casings, a pollen paste that dries hard on the pipe walls, and any run that has started to pull away from the fascia. In the fall we look for the leaf load, the first ice at the eave and any loose hanger. A gutter that shows a clog at the same spot twice in a year is a sign the lot needs a closer schedule, and we say so on the invoice.
After the first visit, when the gutters are clean, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Gutters and downspouts are different on every house, so the calendar is built from what we see, not a standard plan. Keep your gutters in step with the season and you protect your home from water damage at the eave and the foundation. We cover surrounding areas from the same schedule, and the crew calls before we come.
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.
We clean gutters across Mount Lebanon, and our cleaning services in Mount Lebanon reach the whole city from the nearest crew base. To book our gutter services, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and the gutter line. We will quote from stories, size and tree cover, and give you a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busiest windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fastest.
The gutter cleaning process is simple. Call or text, get the number by phone, pick a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. If you want to get your gutters clean before the next heavy rainfall, the sooner you book the sooner the crew can clear the runs and flush them so the water leaves the house.
We know a homeowner does not want to think about gutter maintenance. Our job is to keep cleaning and maintenance short and the result clean: the leaves and debris come off the shingles, the trough is emptied, and each run is flushed until the water runs clean at the bottom. Mount Lebanon gutter cleaning is usually a short visit on most houses, and the crew is in and out. If you are ready, ask for a written estimate and we will send it. If you have a question about what the crew will do on your house, call (866) 435-6328 and we will answer it before we set a date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a range here. We quote the house in front of us, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June, and our Mount Lebanon PA customers usually book the fall visit in late October or November. If you clean your gutters in both windows, you avoid the worst of it. If the spring visit is skipped, the seeds and pollen paste build up in the elbows, and if the fall visit is skipped, the leaf mat and first ice can pull the runs loose by March.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service, because the calendar depends on the season and the weather.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run 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 run with water and check that it runs clean at the bottom. Where a run feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet. A buried line is a separate job with its own price, given before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of them and turn into a paste. On our jobs the surface still needs clearing, and we lift the panels, clean underneath and check that water is getting in.
Water still spilling over the edge after a clean usually means the slope or the outlet size is off, not a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video taken in the rain and we will tell you which it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Anything that changes the job gets raised first, and nothing is added after the crew starts. The number on your invoice is the one we gave you.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
