Our own crew cleans gutters in Goose Creek, and every spout gets flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Debris is hauled off the property, not blown onto the lawn, and you get photos of every run. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers here book spring and fall, and we can give you a quote in a few minutes.
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 give a written estimate from those three things over the phone or by text, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Goose Creek homes vary a lot in roof height, so two houses of the same size can land far apart. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once you run the numbers on a typical house.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot puts the back run higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves and debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing every spout, water flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. We clean the back run the same way as the front, and our crew checks gutters and spouts on every side of the house. Clearing a clogged gutter costs far less than fixing the wood it damages. If anything changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our crew has worked on plenty of homes with heavy leaf load and blocked outlets, where a clog had started to cause structural damage around the eave. On those jobs the first visit usually catches a sag or a blockage that had been pushing water away from the gutter line and onto the fascia board, where the wood starts to rot. We see this more than most on heavy-tree lots. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we see and what it will cost to clear it.
| 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 customers in Goose Creek SC book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across South Carolina, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and fall visits here usually land in late November to December. In spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows at the bottom of each spout. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find a run that has sagged or pulled loose by the time winter rain arrives. Winters here bring freeze risk, so water left sitting in a sagged run can freeze at the eave.
Rain here totals 52.8 inches a year, with June, July and August the wettest months, so heavy rainfall in summer finds a full trough. Under heavy tree cover, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and a clog can form in weeks. Regular cleanings are what keep that from turning into a sag. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough sits there and spills behind it, and leaves and the odd twig packed along the roofline are usually the first thing we see. Residential properties with trees overhead need the shorter cycle. A home with few or no trees usually needs cleaning once a year in late fall. Homes with guards still need the surface cleared, though less often, and we clean the surface first and the outlets second, every time. After the first visit we tell you which of those schedules your lot actually needs, and we book the next visit when you are ready. To set a date, call (866) 435-6328 or ask us when to clean your gutters, and we will confirm the calendar with you.
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 works across Goose Creek and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we book by phone or text. Homeowners here usually want two things on the first call: the gutters cleaned and the water kept away from the house. To start, send your stories, your approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and if it is easy, a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Most of our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so the earlier you reach out, the easier it is to get your gutters on a day that works.
Our cleanings are thorough on a home that has not been touched in a while, and our crew checks the whole gutter system while it is up there, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. Part of our gutter services is to flush every downspout and watch the water run clear. Every homeowner gets photos of every run before the truck leaves. We handle residential and commercial properties, and the process is the same either way. If you are trying to protect your home from water damage or a leak this season, the fastest way to start is a quick call or text, and we will send a written quote the same day you ask for one.
Keep your gutters clear between visits by calling us about any sag, stain or drip. We clean gutters and every spout the same way on every job, so the gutter cleaning service you get in spring matches the one you get in fall.
The number comes from stories and square footage, and we give it to you by phone or text. We quote the job you actually have, and that is the number we charge.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. In spring we clear seed and pollen buildup, and in fall we clear the leaf load before winter rain. If you wait too long in fall, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter. Across South Carolina, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and fall visits here usually land in late November to December.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning services in Goose Creek fill fast in spring and fall, so if you need something sooner, tell us when you call and we will see what the calendar allows.
No. Our gutter cleaning process is outside work only: the crew does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and spout 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 spout and check that water leaves at the outlet and runs away from your home and out past the landscape. If a buried line needs clearing, that is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and grit underneath, so we clean the surface and check that water is actually getting in. Guards cut down on gutter maintenance, but they do not end cleaning and maintenance.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. A gutter that is clean and still overflowing usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, and we will say so without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. We check the whole gutter system before we quote, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, so you agree to it first. Call (866) 435-6328 if you want to talk through the job before we book.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
