Our own crew cleans your gutters, every run flushed and flow-tested, the mess 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 hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We have worked Norristown homes across Pennsylvania for years, and most of the customers who book with us do it in spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have had time to pack the runs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house and we will give you a price.
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. Every homeowner gets a firm figure over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. The gutter cleaning process starts with that call, so the price is settled before anyone climbs. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but on our jobs the height and how packed the runs are decide the time on the ladder far more than the length does. Our gutter services are priced the same way on every job.
Here is what moves the price on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, and that is set up before anyone climbs. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes down as compacted leaves and debris that takes longer to clean out by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends of the job. A clog low in the pipe, or a drain line that backs up in heavy rainfall, adds time too, and poor drainage at the outlet gets flagged before the crew leaves. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included, and the mess is hauled away from your home, never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On one recent Norristown job the house had two stories, a tall back run over a sloped side yard and a heavy load of leaves packed in the gutter, and the price moved because of that buildup and the sloped access. The runs were clean and photographed before the truck left. Read the case with its link for the full story. Ask for a written estimate if you want the breakdown before you book, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through the stories and size with you. Rainwater that cannot leave the outlet is the reason we bother with the flow test, since poor water flow shows up there first.
| 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 here book two cleanings a year. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit window runs late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop has finished, and the fall visit falls in late October to November, after the last leaves are down and before the first hard freeze. In May the elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and a clog there is the first thing the crew checks, so clogged downspouts get cleared first on the spring visit. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs by March that sag under the weight of ice. Skip the fall visit and the next clean is a bigger job, and a leak at a seam can show up by then. Gutter maintenance on that schedule keeps the runs clean through the freeze.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the house, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles, twigs and grit pack the runs between visits. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps the runs from sagging. Gutters and downspouts take the load first when needles pack in. Few or no trees in the landscape, and once a year in late fall is enough. Gutter guards cut the visits, but the surface still needs a clean and the runs still get flushed. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. A rain gutter on a long roofline, or on a house near a busy road or a construction site, tends to fill faster, and we see that on the first visit. Norristown averages 50.6 inches of precipitation a year, with August, September and December the wettest months, so the runs fill fast when heavy rainfall arrives. A run sagging under a snow load is structural damage, not a cleaning problem, and keeping the water away from the foundation starts with catching it early.
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 cleaning services in Norristown reach the neighborhoods across town, and we send the same crew to every address we cover. We handle residential and commercial properties, and commercial properties get the same phone quote as any house. Norristown homes book by giving us the stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the house, and we price it by phone or text. A photo of the front of the house helps when it is easy to send. Residential properties and surrounding areas are priced the same way, so if your place sits just outside the service area, ask before you book. Our lead time moves with the season, and the two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills first.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for an exterior job. Our gutter cleaning services fill fastest in late spring and late fall, so if you want a spring date, get your gutters on the calendar early. Ask us to clean your gutters before the spring rains, or book the fall visit now. Booking a cleaning and maintenance visit in PA takes one phone call. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us a photo of the house front to get a date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, plus how packed the runs are. We give you the figure on the phone or by text, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Our gutter services include flushing and haul-off.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Keeping them clean through the fall visit is what stops the runs from sagging under ice by March, and under heavy tree cover we see customers every three to four months.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what the calendar looks like for your address and when the next clean can happen.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and takes care to protect your home while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the photos of every run and drop pipe reach your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, we flush and flow-test every outlet, and we check that water is leaving so the runs stay clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and under the panels, and once that mat is wet the water runs over the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath and reseat them. Keep your gutters working by having the surface checked at every visit.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A clean gutter that still overflows has a slope or capacity problem, not a blockage problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell a second cleaning. Water left running down the wall for a season is how a house ends up with rot, and checking early keeps your home from water damage.
It should not. The price covers the stories, size and load we discussed. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
