Our own crew cleans gutters across Upper Moreland Township, flushing every run, flow-testing it, hauling away the leaves, and sending photos of each run, once it is clean, 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 on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Upper Moreland Township homes get a visit in spring and fall, and we have been on these houses long enough to know where the water goes when the gutters are full. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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. 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 gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but we would rather give you one clean number for the whole house than make you add up a run at a time.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave line, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted buildup, and a clog that deep, in a run that has started to sag, takes longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run, and a clean reseat takes time. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and are never billed as extras, and we check the gutters and downspouts for drainage before we leave. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Upper Moreland Township jobs, one of the clearest examples is a home with a heavy tree canopy where the gutter system was full of wet leaves and the drains were partly blocked. The crew had to clean the rain gutter on the back run twice before the water flowed, so the quote moved, and that is what we priced in. Every quote starts with a photo of the front of the house, sent by text, and the three things above.
| 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 Upper Moreland Township PA customers book twice a year: once in spring, after seed and pollen drop, and once in fall, after the last leaves have come down. When we clean a gutter here in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the drain elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sagging by March after ice sat in them, and fascia boards starting to rot behind the gutter.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is more realistic, because needles, grit and the occasional twig pack the drains between visits. A home with few or no trees can usually go once a year in late fall. Guards help with the leaves, but the surface still needs a clean, so regular gutter cleaning stays on the schedule too. Every gutter clog we find comes down to the same thing: leaves and debris that sat too long and blocked the water flow. Left alone, clogged downspouts can lead to structural damage. Routine gutter maintenance keeps that from happening, and a single visit covers cleaning and maintenance, so the runs get checked as well as emptied.
When should you clean your gutters? The first visit answers that. We walk the roofline, check each run and each drain, and give you an estimate along with how many cleanings a year fit your house: twice a year, every few months, or once a year. Keep an eye on the front edge after heavy storms, and call us if rainwater is spilling over it, a seam starts to leak, or a blockage shows at a downspout.
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 gutter services reach Upper Moreland Township and surrounding areas, and the crew covers the township as a whole from the nearest base. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Give us your stories, your approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the house front if that is easy. The gutter cleaning process starts there. The lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Clear gutters help protect your home from water damage, and good gutters carry water away from your home, so that is the whole job. For a homeowner who wants the work done before a storm or a heavy rainfall, we can usually fit you in, but ask when you call so we can tell you the real date.
This page is about residential properties. If you have commercial properties, or a building that mixes residential and commercial use, ask us on the phone before you book, and we will tell you whether the crew takes it.
Upper Moreland Township gutter cleaning is booked the same way on every street, and our gutter cleaning service quotes it from the same three inputs. The cleaning services in Upper Moreland Township follow the same steps from first call to final photos. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule before a storm, book early, and keep your gutters checked after big rain between visits.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Tell us how many stories the house is and roughly how large it is, and we will give you a firm number before we schedule anything.
Our fall visits run November to early December, after the leaves are down. In spring, across Pennsylvania, the work we book runs late May to June, once seed and pollen drop. If you skip the fall visit, the wet leaf mat can freeze in place in the gutter and hold water against the eave, and the snow months, December through March, make that worse.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day work depends on the season and our schedule, so ask when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and leaves each run clean. Photos of every run and drain reach 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 watch the water until it runs clean at the bottom. Where a spout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and where it lands in the landscape, and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, the gutter guards still need cleaning, though less often. Leaves, seed casings and grit work through the guard or sit on top of it, and once that mat is wet, the water runs over the front edge instead of into the gutter.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or outlet size, not a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video 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 we quote 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.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
