Our own crew cleans gutters in Hanahan, every downspout cleared and flow-tested, the leaves and grit bagged and hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when we leave the most gutters clean for homeowners here. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you 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 quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted. What moves the quote on our jobs is a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the eave, and gutters nobody has opened in years, where a clog of compacted leaves packs the trough. Gutter guards we have to lift, clean under and reseat add time too.
Downspout clearing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice. Hanahan gutter cleaning runs on one gutter cleaning process: the quote, the downspout work, the haul-off, then photos of a clean run.
Our crews keep seeing the same pattern in Hanahan homes: the sag starts where the buildup sits, water flow stalls at the elbow when a clog forms, and the first sign is water pouring over the front edge. In our experience the cause is usually clogged downspouts, so on a run like that we keep going down each downspout until the water runs clean at the bottom, because a gutter can look empty from the ground while the drainage below it is still blocked. Rain gutter systems on older houses tend to hide structural damage behind the trough, and clearing the leaves and debris first is how we see it. If you want the water away from your home and off the foundation, the job is the full run and every downspout, not just the stretch visible from the driveway.
Most jobs here are straightforward. Gutter cleaning services cost what the stories, size and tree cover say they cost, and we tell you which part of the quote came from which.
| 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, residential and commercial alike, book twice a year, in spring and fall, which is when a gutter cleaning service does the most good for the year. Across South Carolina the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and our fall visit runs late November to December. In spring we find seeds, seed casings, pollen paste and the grit the winter left packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag or pull loose by the next spring. Rainwater left behind a clog backs up behind the fascia and under the first course of shingles, and the fascia starts to rot, so a small blockage ends as a stain on the ceiling.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, we are back every three to four months, because needles, twig and grit pack the downspout elbows between visits. Few or no trees means the fall visit alone keeps the gutters clean. Rain here averages about 55 inches a year, and heavy rainfall lands hardest in July, August and September, so a blocked gutter fills fastest then. Gutter maintenance is what keeps the gutter system and the roofline draining, and regular gutter cleaning is what stops the same clog coming back on the same downspout when the schedule slips. If you cannot stay on a schedule, clean your gutters at least once a year.
After the first visit, with a clean baseline, we tell you how many cleanings your lot actually needs each year. Ask for an estimate for your Hanahan SC home, and call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date.
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 services reach across Hanahan and the surrounding areas, from the nearest base, on residential properties and commercial properties alike. Booking for cleaning services in Hanahan works by phone or text: send the stories, the rough square footage, whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the house front if it is easy. We confirm a lead time when you call, and the busiest stretch is late November to December, when our calendar fills fastest. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the job.
A homeowner who wants the work done on one visit can book gutters and downspouts together, and homeowners here get the same photos and the same downspout work on every visit. We keep your gutters clear between visits if you ask. Whatever the season, we flush every downspout and check the run before we leave, so the water moves away from the house and the trough is left clean. If the crew spots a leak at a seam, it is photographed and reported, not sold on the spot. Protect your home from water damage by booking the date while the calendar is open.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, plus the tree cover. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we quote it from those things. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Most customers book in spring and fall. Across South Carolina the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and the fall visit here runs late November to December. If the gutters wait past the fall visit, we see runs sagging before the next spring on houses that skipped it. Gutters here fill with pollen and seed in spring, and with leaves in fall.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first opening, so you can get your gutters on 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, and the crew leaves your landscape as it was found.
Yes, we run water through every downspout and check that it leaves at the outlet, and we do not leave until the water runs clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop most leaves, but needles, seeds and grit sit on top of the guard and turn to paste. They still need cleaning and maintenance, so we lift the litter off the guard, clear the downspout and check that water is getting in, leaving the trough clean.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
Not without your agreement. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell you before work starts, and the invoice matches the quote you were given.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
