Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything we pull out hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. A clean gutter is how you protect your home, so the work runs to the end of the downspout, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, so that is when our calendar fills first. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that offer cleaning services in Greenville often price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place, though the per-foot method leaves the height and the buildup out of the math. Our gutter services use those same three inputs for every homeowner, from a single-story ranch to a three-story house.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been opened in years hold compacted muck that has to be worked out by hand before the trough is clean, and a clog that sits low in a downspout adds time. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, and that is part of the gutter maintenance we quote before the crew starts. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and are never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice. The haul-off means what we pull out leaves the property, carried away from your home rather than dumped in the yard. That haul-off is part of our gutter cleaning process, and it is part of the number we give.
Our homeowners tend to be people who have seen water pour over the edge in a heavy rainfall, or who simply want the job done on the same schedule each year. When we open a gutter with a few inches of wet leaves in it, getting the trough clean is quick, but the flush is where the time goes, because a clogged downspout hides its blockage until water is pushed through it. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy and we can give you a closer number before anyone climbs a ladder. Gutter cleaning service is what we do, and the cleaning and maintenance visit is priced as one job.

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, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves and debris come down. Across South Carolina, the spring visit lands in mid to late April. When we open a rain gutter in that stretch we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. The fall visit runs November to early December, and by then the wet leaf mat sits on the run with the grit under it. Freezing does happen here in winter. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that sag or pull loose by the next wet season, with structural damage to the fascia board behind the gutter, which can rot before anyone sees it, and a leak at a joint usually starts there long before water shows on the ceiling.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a three to four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the clogged downspouts between visits and the gutter system fills faster than a twice-a-year visit can keep up with. A landscape bed under the eave makes it worse, since mulch and leaves wash straight into the trough. Near a busy road or a construction site, the same schedule applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most homes, and regular gutter cleaning at that interval keeps the water away from the foundation. Guards cut the schedule back, but the surface still needs clearing, and the crew checks it on each visit, which keeps the gutter clean between visits.
Our gutter cleaning crews work across Greenville on the same rotation, so the schedule you choose is the schedule you keep. A rain gutter that was clean in the fall can hold a clog by the next spring, and the crew flags it on the next visit. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing so the next booking is simple.
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.
We keep gutters clean in the surrounding areas, and the crew covers it from the nearest base without needing a special route. Our gutter cleaning services reach Greenville homes of every size, and the same crew handles debris removal, flushing, a check of the water flow and the drainage on each visit. Booking is a short call at (866) 435-6328: we ask for stories, the approximate size of the house and whether trees are over the roof, and we ask for a photo of the front if that is easy. A typical lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows are the spring and fall stretches described above, when our calendar fills first. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
If you have a building or lot that is outside the usual pattern, say so on the call and we will tell you straight whether the crew can do it. Residential and commercial jobs both run on this schedule, so residential properties and commercial properties get the same booking steps. If you are in Greenville SC and want to clean your gutters on a set calendar, tell us on the call and we will set the first visit to get your gutters running again before the next storm.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. For a two-story house we ask the same questions as for any other, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are already in it.
On our jobs here, most customers book in the spring and the fall. If the spring visit waits too long, the seed and pollen paste has already set in the elbows. If the fall visit waits until after the first freeze, the wet leaf mat is harder to clear and the runs have more time to sag. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough runs back under the shingles, so timing matters.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service because the calendar depends on the season and on how many houses are already booked on the route.
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. The crew leaves the yard as clean as it was found.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line that is not draining, we tell you and quote clearing it separately, because that is a different job.
Yes. On our jobs we find a twig, seed casings and pollen sitting on top of the guard and roof grit underneath, and once that mat is wet, water runs over the front edge. We clear the surface, flush each run and reseat the guards, because that is how you keep your gutters draining between visits, and the gutter stays clean longer.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. 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.
Only if the job changes, and you hear about it and agree before work starts. The estimate from the phone call covers the cleaning, the flush, the haul-off and the photos, so the invoice should match the number you were given. Emptying the trough is how you keep the home from water damage, and that part of the job does not change with the price.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
