Our own crew cleans your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the waste hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your 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. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we are glad to quote whichever visit fits your calendar.
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 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. Other companies price their cleaning services in Narragansett per linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we would rather walk you through the three things that matter on your house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof 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 leaves and grit, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, flow testing and cleanup are included and never billed as extras, and the waste is carried away from your home. A single twig or clog at a downspout elbow can push water over the edge of a whole run, so the flush is part of the price, not an add-on. We leave every run clean before the truck leaves. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
For a Narragansett homeowner, the first thing we do is check the front of the house in a text photo. Most of the time that tells us enough to give a firm number, and the leak or sag we spot from the driveway usually shows up in the photo before we are on the ladder. Around here we get about 51.6 inches of precipitation a year, and that rainwater has to leave through the gutters. Heavy rainfall is the reason most people call, and a clean run is the first defense, keeping water away from the fascia and out of the soffit.
When we open a gutter here we are looking at the same things on every job: seed casings, pollen paste, leaves and grit. A rain gutter that still overflows after cleaning is a slope problem, not a debris problem. We check drainage at the outlet before we leave, and we tell you that plainly rather than sell a second cleaning. That is part of the gutter cleaning process, and it is the same whether the house is a bungalow or a three-story.
Our crew can do the work whenever you are ready. To get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will get back to you with a quote before the week is out. Ask for a written estimate if that helps you compare gutter maintenance options, and we will put every line in writing.

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 book two cleanings a year, in late May or June after the spring seed and pollen drop, and again in October or early November after the last leaves are down. On our jobs across Narragansett, the spring visit is about the seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and the fall visit is about leaves and debris, the wet leaf mat, the first ice and any runs that have started to sag.
On houses that skipped the fall visit, we see runs pulled loose by March, clogged downspouts, and ice dams at the eave, which come from water that had nowhere to go. A clog at the bottom of a downspout is enough to send the water over the edge. A gutter system that is kept clean on schedule holds its pitch, and it keeps water away from the fascia and soffit so they stay dry and do not rot, which keeps structural damage off the eave. Keeping the runs clear is how you protect your home from water damage. Freeze-belt winters are the reason the fall visit matters more here than it might elsewhere.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see work, because needles and grit pile into the downspout between visits, so flush it and watch it run clear. Regular gutter cleaning on that rhythm keeps the runs from sagging. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Most houses sit in the twice-a-year group. Under a busy road or near construction the dust load pushes the schedule shorter, and so does mulch from a landscape bed washing toward the eave. The same is true for a gutter guard, which stops leaves but not the grit that settles beneath it.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your gutters and downspouts actually need, and it is worth keeping your gutters on that schedule from then on. We do not guess from the street, and we do not give a schedule before we have looked at the runs. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will book the next visit.
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 Narragansett RI and the surrounding areas from the nearest base and books slots across the city, residential and commercial. Booking a gutter cleaning service starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is overhead, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills from the same spring and fall visits described above. Book early in those months to keep your preferred date, and keep your gutters clean in between with a visit on the schedule we set. Between visits, drainage that backs up is the first sign of a buildup or clog, so we check the water flow at the outlet before we leave. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you want the eaves checked for anything beyond the visit, we photograph it and put it in the report. Our gutter services are booked the same way whichever visit you pick.
For residential properties and Narragansett homes, the same crew works the same way, and commercial properties follow the same steps. Clean your gutters on the schedule that fits your tree cover, and if you have a question about a specific run, text the photo and we will tell you what we see.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Every house has its own shape and tree cover, so no number is lifted from a generic estimate. The number we give you is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in late May or June and again in October or early November. Here the first hard freeze can arrive while leaves are still in the gutters, which is why the fall visit matters so much. Waiting past that point is what leads to sagging runs by March.
Most slots come up within the week for cleaning services in Narragansett, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day unless the crew has an opening that day, so ask us for the first available date when you book.
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 flow-test each one, so you can see the water flow run clean at the outlet. If a blockage sits in a buried line, clearing it is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it, so you know what it costs.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but on our jobs we still find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and the paste they turn into when wet. We clean the surface off and reseat the guards afterward.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain, it has a slope or downspout-size problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The quote for cleaning and maintenance is built from stories, size and what is in the gutters, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
