Our cleaning services in Florence, SC mean our own crew does every job, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled away, and photos sent to your phone before we leave. Every gutter gets a clean, and the price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Customers book us for the spring and fall visits, and that rhythm sets our calendar.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our cleaning services in Florence cover residential and commercial properties, and the price depends on how many stories the house has, how big it is and how much 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. We price a clean the same way for a house or a commercial building, and on our jobs the height and the load in the trough do more to the time on the ladder than the footage does.
Four things move a quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk adds time and a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the driveway, and the water has to get away from your home. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck that has to be worked loose by hand, and a clog like that can hide a leak or a sagging hanger, which is structural damage waiting to happen. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat take their own time. Flushing and haul-off come with every clean and are never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
For a homeowner here, the quote that surprises most Florence homeowners is usually the house where the gutters have gone a long time without a visit and the heavy rainfall has packed the trough with mud. Those are the jobs where the work stretches, and we say so on the phone before we book anything. A clean gutter that drains is the goal, and the gutter cleaning process is the same whether the house is new to us or gets cleaning and maintenance from us every year. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule is part of gutter maintenance, and it keeps each visit short. Tell us the stories, the rough size and whether the roof sits under trees, and we will give you a number you can plan around.
| 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.
Across South Carolina, the spring visit window falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit runs November to early December. We clean across Florence on that same spring and fall rhythm. In spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and the leaves and debris that sit in the trough before the rainy season arrives. Florence gets about 45.3 inches of rain a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so a gutter that is still full going into summer is the one that overflows. Winter brings real freeze risk here, and rainwater trapped in a full trough can freeze at the eave. Letting it go too long means the water runs over the edge, and that is where the rot and the structural damage start, while a clean run keeps water away from the fascia and helps protect your home from water damage.
Tree cover and the landscape around the house set the schedule more than anything else for houses here. Under heavy tree cover, needles, grit and the odd twig clog the downspout between visits, which is why we flush the downspout on every visit, and clogged downspouts back water up into the gutter system. A house with few or no trees around it can often get by with fewer cleanings, and a single rain gutter visit in late fall may be enough. A house with guards still needs a clean, because the surface of the guard collects what the openings let through. Commercial properties under big trees follow the same rule, and our gutter cleaning services cover them. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will book your spring or fall 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 gutter cleaning service reaches the surrounding areas on residential and commercial properties. Residential properties get the same crew and the same photos as commercial jobs. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories and whether trees hang over the roof, and we quote you a price and a date. Florence homes fill the spring and fall windows fastest, so call now to get your gutters on the schedule. If a run has started to sag, the drainage looks slow, or there is buildup in the trough and the water flow is weak, say so when you book, and the crew checks it first. A typical house takes about an hour, debris removal is included, and you can stay home or go out while the crew works.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and our gutter services give you an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a figure from a page, because the house decides it. Call (866) 435-6328 with the details and we will tell you the exact price before we book.
Across South Carolina, the spring visit window falls in mid to late April, and our fall visit runs November to early December. A fall visit that never happens lets the leaves sit in the trough through winter, and with real freeze risk, the trapped water can turn into an ice dam at the eave. Keep your gutters on that seasonal schedule, and clean your gutters each spring and fall so the fall visit stays simple.
Our cleaning services run on a booking calendar, so same-day depends on the day we have open. Ask us when you call and we confirm the date right then.
No. The crew works outside and does not come inside, so you can stay put or be away from your home for the visit. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Our cleaning process checks gutters and downspouts for a clog at the outlet, and we flush every downspout and watch the water until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on the surface and turn into a wet mat along the roofline. Guarded gutters still need a clean, just less often, and the surface gets cleared on every visit.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us footage of it raining, and we will tell you what the problem is. A blockage at the outlet is the other possibility, and we check that first. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
No, unless we find something that changes the job, and then you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The estimate we give 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.
