Our own crew cleans gutters in Unity Township, flushing every downspout, flow-testing each run, hauling everything away and sending you photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size 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 been booking our Unity Township homeowners for spring and fall visits for years, and the crew knows which runs fill first and which ones stay clean.
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. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place for most homes, but we would rather give every homeowner one number for the whole job.
On our jobs the quote moves when we see a third story or a pitch too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the roofline, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaf mat, clogged runs, or a twig wedged at an elbow, that need a second pass, or gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get to the trough. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the price and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice. A leak at a seam is priced on its own line and named before anyone fixes it. Where a downspout drains close to the foundation, we check that the water runs away from your home at the bottom. Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every home, and a clean downspout at the bottom is the standard we measure every job against.
A clog at the elbow of a back run is a common find, and the flow test catches it before the crew leaves, so you get one visit and one price. Every home is different, so the quote starts with a phone call and the three details above, and the fastest way to get your gutters quoted is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house. We will give you a number while you are still on the phone. Cleanings and maintenance visits are quoted the same way every time, and once the downspout is flushed and the flow tests clean, the job is done.

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 Unity Township homeowners book twice a year, once in late May or June after the seed and pollen drop, and once in October or early November after the last leaves and debris are down. Across Pennsylvania, late May to June is the usual spring window, and a clean start to the season is what we aim for. The fall visit runs October to early November. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and a clean gutter in May is rare. When we open one in November we find a wet leaf mat that sits in the trough and slows the water flow. Here in Pennsylvania the freeze risk is real, so on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see the first ice dams at the eave and runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March.
Unity Township homes under heavy tree cover get cleaned every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and the gutter system fills faster than it can drain. Homes with few or no trees do fine once a year in late fall. Near a busy road or a construction site we bump the schedule up too, since dust and grit find their way into the trough quickly. The wettest months here are May, July and August, so clogged downspouts during heavy rainfall are the first sign the schedule is too slow, and a rain gutter that holds standing water for days needs a visit sooner. A clean trough at the start of the season makes the next visit faster. Guards slow the buildup, but they do not stop it, so we still clear the surface and leave the trough clean on a guarded system on the same schedule.
On a typical visit we flush the runs and check that water leaves the bottom of every downspout, which protects the foundation and keeps the landscape from washing away. Most gutter rot we see on these homes starts where water sat for a season, and structural damage usually follows the rot. Our gutter maintenance visit is how you keep your gutters from sitting full, and it is the simplest way to protect your home from water damage. The point of the flush is to carry water away from the foundation, not just to empty the trough, and a clean run is easier to check the next time. After the first visit, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not paying for more cleaning than the house requires.
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.
The crew works across Unity Township, PA and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Our cleaning services in Unity Township start with a quote by phone or text, using your stories, your home's size and whether trees hang over the house, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so call early for those visits. We call before we come. A run that looks like it will sag gets flagged on the spot, and nobody needs to be home for the cleaning itself.
We handle residential and commercial cleaning, so the same crew can take care of commercial properties like a storefront or a multi-unit building, as well as residential properties like a single-family home. Our gutter cleaning service covers debris removal from the trough and a drainage check at every downspout, and our gutter cleaning services follow the same quote process on every property. Spring and fall are the busiest windows for regular gutter cleaning, so a flow check at each visit catches a clog before the next storm. For a quick estimate on your Unity Township home, call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm a date and time with you. If you want to clean your gutters before the next storm, call early.
The number comes from how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is in the gutters. Our gutter services are quoted the same way for every home, and we give you the figure by phone or text, and it is the number you pay on the invoice.
Most of our customers in Unity Township PA book in late May or June and again in October or early November. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find ice dams and sagging runs by March.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If you need something sooner, mention it on the phone and we will see what the calendar allows.
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 leaves the bottom. Our crew checks gutters and downspouts as one job, and clearing a buried drain line is a separate job that we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes, guards keep leaves out but not seed casings, needles or grit. On our jobs we still clear the surface and check that water gets in, so a guarded home gets the same visit schedule and a clean surface after every visit.
If the gutter is clean and still overflows when rainwater hits it, it has a slope or downspout-size problem rather than a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we tell you and agree on it before work starts, so the number you were quoted is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
