Our own crew cleans gutters in Mauldin, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, all of it hauled away, and photos of every run on your phone before we leave. 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 you on the phone is the number on your invoice. We have been doing this work across South Carolina through spring and fall, and most of our customers book with us in those two windows.
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 our cleaning services in Mauldin over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge on every one of our cleanings. Cleaning and maintenance are quoted as one number, so gutter maintenance never shows up as a surprise line. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but the stories and the state of the gutter matter more than the length on most houses we clean.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes how the crew works the back runs. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavy with packed gunk and the odd twig, and that takes longer than a light clean. Where gutter guards sit on the gutters and downspouts, we have to lift and reseat them, which adds time on the way up and on the way down. Debris removal, flow testing and drainage checks are included in the price and are never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most homeowners want the same thing from our gutter cleaning process: clear the runs by hand, flush every downspout, check the flow at the outlet, and photograph every section before the truck leaves. Heavy rainfall in July, August and December puts the most water through a system, so a clean before those months is the one that earns its keep. A gutter that still overflows after the clean is usually a slope or capacity problem, not a leak, and we say so plainly. The aim of every clean is to move water away from your home. If you are a homeowner who wants a number before anyone climbs a ladder, the easiest route is to tell us the stories, roughly how big the house is, whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. We will come back with the price, and if you book, that is the price you pay. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your gutters on the schedule.

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 twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Across South Carolina the spring visit falls in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop. The fall visit runs November to early December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in April we find seeds, seed casings and pollen packed into the elbows, and when we open one in November we find a wet leaf mat that has been sitting since the first cold snap. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have started to sag or pull loose by the next spring, and a clog left that long can rot the board behind the gutter, which is the start of structural damage.
How often a particular lot needs us depends on the trees and the roads around it. Under heavy tree cover, we see leaves and debris settle in and leave clogged downspouts between visits, and those houses go on a three to four month schedule. Near a busy road or a construction site the grit load is similar, so the same schedule applies. Houses with few or no trees nearby do well with one visit a year in late fall. Guards slow down how often the gutter fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters can go longer between visits. A rain gutter that is left alone is the first thing to fail, and the interval is really about how fast a clog forms on your lot.
The first visit on your gutter system sets the interval. After it we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we note what we found in each run so you can see the pattern for yourself. Run the clean on that schedule and clear the leaves before they settle into the trough. The goal in every case is water away from the house: out through the downspouts, not over the front edge and across the landscape toward the foundation. The schedule should follow what the house is actually doing, not a general rule.
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 clean across Mauldin and surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we book residential and commercial jobs on the same calendar. Every job we take in Mauldin SC runs on the same crew standard. Booking with us is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, give us the number of stories and a rough size, and tell us whether trees hang over the house. We will give you a quote on the phone or by text, and we will confirm a date that works. Our calendar fills in the busy windows of spring and fall, so if you want a spring or fall slot to clean your gutters, call early in those months.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. The crew works from the outside of the house and sends photos to your phone when the job is done. If you have a question about the schedule or the lead time, ask when you call and we will tell you the next open date. We do the same regular gutter cleaning on residential properties and commercial buildings, and the same crew standard applies to both. Our gutter services and gutter cleaning services follow one standard for Mauldin homes and commercial properties: the same photos, the same water flow check and the same invoice.
Our gutter cleaning service gives you an estimate on the phone or by text, based on the stories and the size of the house. Once you have the estimate, the price on your invoice matches it. Flushing and haul-away are included.
Most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Across South Carolina the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit runs November to early December. On the houses that waited past fall, we see sagging runs and ice pressure by the next winter, which is the cost of waiting. A timely clean helps protect your home from water damage, and it is the simplest way to keep your gutters working between visits.
Most slots come up within the week. When you call, we will confirm the next open date for your house.
No. The crew works from the outside of the house, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every outlet on your gutters and downspouts and check the flow at the bottom. If a drain runs into an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not, or if there is a blockage. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find seed casings and fine grit sitting on top of the guards, and once that mat is wet the water runs over the front edge. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still gets cleared.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets rainwater over the edge usually has a slope or capacity problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or short video of the roofline in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something we find changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote 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.
