Our own crew cleans gutters in Westtown PA, and when we leave the gutter is clean from end to end, the leaves are bagged, and photos of every run are on your phone. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Pennsylvania, most of the homes we clean are booked for spring and fall, when seed drop and leaf fall have left the gutters full.
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. Our gutter cleaning services start from the house itself, because Westtown homes differ a lot in size and pitch. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but a house is never just a length of gutter. On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a pitch too steep to walk, a sloped lot or walk-out basement that raises the back run, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with leaves and debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can reach the trough. This page covers residential properties only. Commercial properties and any residential and commercial mix need their own quote, which we give by phone.
Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Clogged downspouts get cleared, and the drainage at each outlet is checked before the crew leaves, so the whole gutter system is clean when they go. A sag in the run is marked on the photos, and the water flow past it is checked, because water that pools in a sagging trough is how structural damage starts. Buildup in the trough gets cleared, and the rain gutter sends the water away from the house. If something we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, one of the clearest examples was a house where the first look from the driveway suggested two stories, but the back run sat well above the lot. The crew found the gutter packed with leaves and a clog at the outlet elbow. Each of those items was priced on the phone before the visit, so the number held. For a homeowner here, the same thing applies: the quote is built from what the crew can see on the house and what the phone call tells us about the lot. If the house has heavy tree cover, we ask about that and factor it in. If the roof is steep, we ask about that too. Those are the things that change the job, and they are what we use to give you a number before we arrive.
| 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.
Spring visits across Pennsylvania run late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and our fall visits here run late October to November, after the last leaves come down. Most of our customers here book spring and fall, twice a year. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds and seed casings packed to the elbow of every outlet, and pollen paste sitting in the trough. In fall it is the wet leaf mat along the roofline that causes the trouble, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by March, and a loose run is where structural damage starts. Freeze risk is real in this area, so the fall visit is the one that keeps rainwater from backing up under the shingles when the first ice comes. Westtown gets about 48.7 inches of precipitation a year, and March, July and September are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a blockage shows itself.
Under heavy tree cover, a visit every three to four months is what our customers here need, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and a clog builds faster than a seasonal schedule can catch. Near a busy road or a construction site, residential and commercial properties get the same schedule for the same reason. Lots with few or no trees can usually manage on one visit a year in late fall, and every visit includes debris removal. Residential properties with guards still need gutter maintenance, just less often, with the surface cleared, the trough given a clean, and the guard reseated so water can get in.
On our jobs, the picture shows up clearly in the photos. A house with no trees on a twice-a-year schedule stays clean run to run, while a house under trees that has gone a full year without a visit comes back with the outlets packed solid and water flowing over the edge. The rain gutter, the fascia and the drain below it all fail the same way when rainwater cannot get away, and regular gutter cleaning is what prevents the blockage. A simple schedule is how you keep your gutters flowing between visits. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and the estimate for the next gutter cleaning service visit comes with it.
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 covers Westtown from the nearest base, and we clean gutters across the surrounding areas. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, built from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it. If it is easy, send a photo of the front of the house with the text, and we can usually give you a firm figure faster. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call, so if you want to keep your gutters on schedule, call before a window fills. Two windows fill up fastest for our gutter services: the spring visit, late May to June across Pennsylvania, and the fall visit, late October to November, so booking early helps you get the day you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works outside and does not come inside, and the photos of every run arrive on your phone before the truck leaves. Each of these cleanings covers gutters and downspouts, which is cleaning and maintenance in a single trip, and we flush every downspout on the way out. Houses with gutter guards get the same visit, with the guards lifted and set back in place. For a homeowner who wants the gutters clean and the house protected, that is the whole arrangement: a quote before the visit, the work done once, and a record of it. Clean gutters keep water away from your home, and the aim is to protect your home from water damage through the wet months. A twig or a wad of wet leaves in the outlet is how a leak starts, and a leak is cheaper to prevent than to fix, which is why we keep the schedule tight.
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 quote a figure without those details. The price we give you is the price we charge, with flushing and haul-off included, and the gutters are clean when we leave. If you are comparing cleaning services in Westtown, ask how the number is built.
Most of our customers here book a clean in late October to November, after the leaves are down. We clean across Westtown on that schedule, and the spring visit runs late May to June across Pennsylvania. If the fall clean is skipped, the first ice can back water up under the shingles, and a fascia that stays wet can rot before the spring visit comes around.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call (866) 435-6328. We do not promise same-day visits. Our gutter cleaning process is the same either way: a quote, the visit, then photos of every run. The earlier you get your gutters on the calendar, the more choice you get.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet 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, flow-test it, and check that the water is leaving at the outlet. A downspout that dumps by the foundation floods the landscape and soaks the soil under the house, so we check that the discharge lands away from your home. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, but less often. Guarded gutters still need gutter maintenance, and on our jobs under guards we find needles, seed casings and roof grit sitting on top, and that mat stops the water from going in. We clear the surface, give the trough a clean, and reseat the guards.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge during heavy rainfall, the gutter system usually has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video taken in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something we find changes the job, such as extra cleaning and maintenance the house needs, and in that case you hear it before any work starts. 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.
