Our own crew cleans gutters in Radnor, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave, so you see the clean result. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and falling leaves have done their work.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for our gutter cleaning services depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Homeowners here get a quote over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we would rather give you one figure for the whole house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out heavy, with leaves and debris packed into the trough and a run that has started to sag, and that takes longer to clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, a water flow check at the outlet, and hauling the material away are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Radnor homes come in every size, and the cases we have cleaned here show how much the lot matters. On one job, a house with heavy tree cover had gutter buildup that kept water from draining, and the downspouts were clogged enough that water backed up behind the fascia. The drainage problem started at a clog in the elbow, and our crew cleared it, flushed each downspout, and confirmed that water was moving away from the foundation. Commercial properties in the area get the same approach, scheduled per building. Clogged downspouts are the most common reason water sits against the house, and that is the first thing we check on every visit, because a clog stops the drain that carries water away and, left alone, can lead to structural damage.
| 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.
Across Pennsylvania, most customers book in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late October or November, after the last leaves are down. In Radnor PA the fall window matters most. Radnor gets 48.4 inches of precipitation a year, and heavy rainfall lands in March, July and September, so the rainwater has plenty of work to do. Seed and pollen paste packs into the elbows by late spring, and the spring visit clears it before the wet summer months. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under ice by March. Ice dams at the eave come from water that never left the trough. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the right rhythm, because needles and grit pack the outlet between visits. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Near a busy road or a construction site, the rainwater carries more grit, and the same three-to-four-month schedule applies. Clean your gutters on a regular schedule and the blockage never gets far enough to cause structural damage, and a clog caught early costs far less than repairing a sagging run. Our crew can handle debris removal on the same visit. Residential properties follow the same calendar, and residential and commercial work runs on the same route. Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 for an estimate and we will set up regular gutter cleaning for your roofline. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Our gutter cleaning service books out in spring and fall, so a call early in the season saves a wait.
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 works the whole route, and we provide cleaning services in Radnor that clear the same gutters and downspouts on every job. A quote starts with a call or a text: stories, approximate size, and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. The crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of spring and fall, so a call early in those seasons gets you a slot sooner. Radnor gutter cleaning on our schedule runs on a typical lead time that we confirm when you call. Every clean is a chance to protect your home from water damage. We aim for a clean trough, a flowing drain and no leak at the seams, and we check the runs that feed the foundation first so that water is carried away from your home. A single twig wedged in a run can start a backup, so we look for it on every visit. If your house has gutter guards, the crew lifts them and clears underneath. Every homeowner in surrounding areas gets the same visit. Regular cleanings keep your gutters working, and we will flush every downspout and send photos before we leave. For commercial buildings, we run gutter services per building on a set calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters cleaned on a date that works.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. There is no fixed figure I can quote from here, and that is by design. Text a photo of the front and we will give you a written estimate.
Across Pennsylvania, spring visits run late May to June. In Radnor, most of our customers also book in late October or November, because the fall visit clears the trough before the freeze. If you wait past it, we find runs that have sagged under ice by March.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning and maintenance calendar fills first in spring and fall, so we do not promise same-day work, since the schedule depends on the crew's route that day.
No. Our crew works across Radnor outside the house and does not come inside. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the clean is underway.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Where the outlet drains into a landscape bed, we check that the water moves away from the house. Standing water that goes unchecked leads to rot in the trim. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, which mat on top and turn into paste. Gutter maintenance on a guarded house means clearing what sits on the guard and checking that the gutter system is taking water.
A clean gutter that still overflows has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts. The gutter cleaning process runs the same way on every house, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
