Our own crew will clean gutters in Lexington SC, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris 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 of our Lexington homeowners book gutter cleaning services in spring and fall, and we keep those visits on the calendar before the leaves and pollen build up across Lexington.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are priced on stories, square footage and how much clog 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. The same three things price residential and commercial properties, and per-linear-foot pricing lands in a similar place for some companies, but on most Lexington homes the stories and the load do most of the work.
A third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the crew setup, and a walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed with compacted muck and a clog that has set, which takes longer to clean out. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the buildup from getting that deep. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, drainage checks, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent Lexington job, the house had two stories and a heavy load of wet leaf mat in the front run, which is what usually adds the most time. Once the crew saw the gutter had begun to sag at the joint, we flagged it in the photos and did not charge for the flow check. A sagging run slows water flow, and that is how a drip turns into a leak. If you want to clean your gutters on a schedule, book the next date on the first visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate from there.

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 Lexington customers book two cleanings a year, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs sag or pull loose by the next season. A blockage in the elbow is where rainwater backs up first, so we clean the elbow before anything else. Keeping your gutter system clear is how you protect your home from water damage.
Under heavy tree cover or landscape beds that wash mulch into the trough, every three to four months is the schedule we see work, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and start a clog. Our crew checks the gutters and downspouts together on every visit, and we flush every downspout while the ladder is up. A house with few or no trees usually needs one visit a year in late fall. Houses with gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still gets a clean, and what sits on top of the gutter guards can still back the water up.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what the gutter and roofline show us. A quick check of the roofline and the rainwater flow is the first thing we do before any estimate, even on a gutter that looks clean from the ground. We set how often to keep your gutters clear once that is done, and every one of our gutter services starts there.
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 Lexington from the nearest base, and we clean residential properties across Lexington and the surrounding areas. We quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, when our calendar fills first. Book early if you want a specific week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works outside and does not have to come inside to clean, so you do not need to clear a path through the house. For a homeowner who wants gutter maintenance on a regular schedule, we set the next date on the first visit, because cleaning and maintenance runs on a fixed calendar. The downspouts exist to carry water away from your home, and the schedule keeps them doing that.
Get your gutters cleaned before the heavy rainfall of the wet season, or after a storm has left leaves and debris behind. Whatever the reason, the gutter cleaning process is the same: the roof edge gets checked, the runs are cleared by hand and left clean, and a twig or a wad of wet needles lodged in the elbow gets pulled out before the flush. Every downspout is flushed, and photos go to your phone before we leave. That is how Lexington gutter cleaning stays the same from one house to the next.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before any work is booked. A rain gutter's length and height set the time, so we ask about both.
Spring and fall are when most of our Lexington customers book, and the schedule depends on your tree cover. We tell you which tier fits after the first visit. We take residential and commercial properties on the same terms, and commercial properties get the same photo report.
Most slots come up within the week for cleaning services in Lexington, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone once the clean is done and before the truck leaves.
Yes. We clean every downspout by flushing it and check where it drains, including the outlet of an underground line. Clogged downspouts get worked from the top, and clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
If your house has gutter guards, the gutter system still needs a clean, because seeds and grit sit on top of the guard and can still block the water from getting in.
If the gutter is clean and still overflows, the problem is usually slope or downspout capacity, not a clog. Left alone, water over the edge can rot the fascia and lead to structural damage, so send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
The price you hear on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree before work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date or ask for a written estimate.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
