Our own crew cleans gutters in Clemson, flushes every downspout, flow-tests the run, hauls it all away and sends you photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across South Carolina, most of our homeowners book the spring and fall visits, and we can hold a slot for you the same way.
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, how large it is, and what is sitting in the gutters. We price it by phone or text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is known, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk is what raises a quote most, because it takes longer to set up safely. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot can put the back run far above the ground, and gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavy with packed muck. Guards we have to lift, clean underneath and reseat add time too. Our gutter cleaning services cover the gutters and downspouts, plus flushing, flow testing and haul-off, and none of that is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our crew has cleaned gutters for Clemson homeowners for years, and the quotes that move the most are the ones with clogged downspouts at the elbow and gutters full of wet leaves. One house that came to us after a summer of heavy rainfall had water sitting in the trough and running over the front edge. The gutter itself was sound, but the buildup was enough to turn a standard visit into a longer one, and we priced it that way from the start. We photographed every run before and after so the owner could see where the water flow had been stopped and where it was flowing again once the gutter was clean. When a home has standing water at the eave, that is a drainage problem we fix by clearing it, and we tell you plainly if the gutter itself needs more than a cleaning.
Residential and commercial buildings get the same honest number. Residential properties and commercial properties are quoted from the same three things, but commercial properties are scheduled per building. Clean your gutters on the schedule that fits your house and we will keep the quote steady from one visit to the next, because the regular gutter cleaning visits are where we see the sag and the clog before they become a bigger problem. Debris removal is part of every visit, so there is no separate line for it. If you want a written quote for your house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send the estimate back the same way.

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 South Carolina, most of our customers book two visits a year, one in late spring after the seeds and pollen have dropped and one in late fall after the leaves are down. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seed casings and a pollen paste that the rain turns into a clog. In fall it is the leaves and debris, wet and matted, that hold water in the trough, and if a house skipped its fall visit we often find runs that have pulled loose from the fascia by early spring, with the wood behind them starting to rot.
Under heavy tree cover or on a sloped landscape, we see houses on a three to four month schedule, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the downspouts and turn into a blockage between visits. Houses with few or no trees near the roofline usually do well with one visit a year in late fall, when the trough is clean again before winter. Houses with gutter guards need fewer visits, but gutter maintenance still means clearing the surface, and we check the gutter system underneath each time. A clean rain gutter protects your home from water damage by carrying rainwater away from the walls, and that is the whole point of the visit.
We do not sell the same schedule to every house. After the first visit, with the trough checked, we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutters and how the water flow looked in the rain, and we flush every downspout on each visit so the schedule holds. If the gutter is still overflowing after a clean, that is a slope problem we will report to you, not a reason to book another cleaning. Calendar a visit in the same month each year to keep your gutters clear, and the cleanings stay short. Call (866) 435-6328 to get the first one on the books.
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 Clemson from the nearest base, and when we first book a home we ask for the stories, the approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the front of the house by text helps us see the roofline before we arrive. Once we have those, the quote comes by phone or text, and we call before we come. On the day, the crew works from the ground and the ladder, and they clean the trough first, then flush each downspout. Nobody needs to be home for the visit, and the crew stays outside. Our gutter services start with that photo and the quote, so there are no surprises at the door.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows each year, the spring window after the seed drop and the fall window after the leaves come down, so booking ahead during those months gets you the slot you want. Outside those windows, slots are easier to get, and a call will tell you what is open. Booking Clemson gutter cleaning once a year, on a set date, beats waiting for a leak, since a clog nobody notices can lead to structural damage at the fascia and soffit before anyone sees it. Cleaning and maintenance on a set calendar catches a clog before it turns into a repair.
We cover Clemson and the surrounding areas, and homes across Clemson get the same process from the same crew. Whether you are a first-time customer or a homeowner who has booked us for years, the gutter cleaning process is the same: quote, call, clean, photograph, and send the invoice that matches the estimate. If you are ready to get your gutters cleaned, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date.
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 give a range over the phone, because the number we give you is the number we will charge once the crew is done.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. In spring we clear the seeds and pollen from the downspout elbows, and in fall we clear the wet leaf load before the first freeze. If you wait longer than that, the clog tends to be harder to clear and the runs can start to sag.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date with you when you call. If you need something sooner, tell us when you call and we will check the calendar.
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 is leaving at the outlet, so the run comes out clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves and debris out, but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet the water runs over the edge. We clean the surface and check that water is still getting in.
A gutter that is clean and still overflowing in the rain has a slope or capacity problem rather than a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what we see. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The number we quote is the number on the invoice, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, such as a steep landscape around the house, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
