Our own crew cleans gutters for homes around here, with every downspout flushed, leaves and debris hauled off the property, and photos of every run before we leave, so you can see it came out clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover sits over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Moncks Corner homes book in the spring and fall, once the seed and pollen drop is done and once the last leaves are down.
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 give an estimate 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, and the result lands in a similar place per foot, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house than have you multiply it yourself. Our gutter cleaning services cover commercial properties too, and the rule is the same: one number, quoted before the crew arrives.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more care on the ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves that have to be dug out by hand, and some runs have clogged downspouts that take longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Downspout flushing and flow testing are included, the leaves are hauled away, and none of it is billed as an extra. If something changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what the rain tells us on the houses we see. We open a gutter, find the buildup at the elbows, and run water through to check the water flow and drainage. We do not call a run clean until the water leaves the downspout without pooling. When a rain gutter shows a sag or sits low, it is usually because the weight of wet leaves has been pulling on the hangers for a long time, and that is structural damage waiting to show up as rot on the fascia board behind it. Getting the water away from the house is the point, so if you want a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what we see from the ground before we give you a figure.

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 here book in the spring and again in the fall. Across South Carolina, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, once the seed and pollen drop is done, and the fall visit here lands in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. A regular gutter cleaning service on that schedule suits residential and commercial buildings in Moncks Corner SC, and it works for residential properties of any size.
In spring we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, a blockage that holds water in the trough. In fall it is the leaf load, and the wet mat it makes in the trough. Those are the months when rainwater has nowhere to go, and July through September are the wettest months here. If you wait until the wettest months to clean your gutters, the first heavy rainfall finds the work already overdue. Our Moncks Corner customers who skip the fall visit tend to show us runs that have pulled loose by the next spring, which is a clog problem that turned into a hanger problem.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the house, regular gutter cleaning matters more, because needles, a twig now and then, and grit pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees, a single visit in late fall keeps the trough clean enough. Gutter guards cut down how often you need a visit, but the surface still needs clearing, and the gutter should still come out clean. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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.
Moncks Corner gutter cleaning runs from our nearest base, and our crew covers the town and surrounding areas. We book the calendar around the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall rushes, and Moncks Corner homeowners tend to fill those first. When you call, every homeowner gets the same questions: how many stories the house has, roughly how big it is, and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the house front by text is helpful if it is easy to send, but it is not required for a quote. Our gutter services start with a call to (866) 435-6328.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works from the outside and does not come inside, and the landscape around the house is left as it was when the truck leaves. We look at the whole gutter system, the gutters and downspouts together, not one run, so the job starts where the water goes. If your gutters have been overflowing in the rain, tell us that when you call, because it changes what we look for first. If you see a leak at a seam, say so too. The first visit tells us which cleanings your lot needs. Our goal is to protect your home from water damage before the next storm, and to keep your gutters clean, not just to make the driveway look clean.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without knowing those two things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Downspout flushing and debris removal are in it, and that is what our cleaning services in Moncks Corner include.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, so get your gutters on the calendar before the leaf drop. If you wait past it, the wet leaf mat sits in the trough through the cold months, and in a winter with freezing nights that trapped water can freeze there. Across South Carolina, the spring visit runs mid to late April, and in Moncks Corner the fall visit falls in late November to December.
Most slots across Moncks Corner come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you have an overflow happening right now, tell us, and we will look at what can move up on the calendar, so the gutter is clean before the next rain.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can check the work is clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Downspout extensions go back so they carry water away from your home.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you if water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes, less often. Guards hold leaves off, but needles, seed casings and grit get through and mat on top, and once wet, rain runs over the front edge. Guards change the cleaning and maintenance schedule, but they do not end gutter maintenance. We lift the panels, clear underneath, reseat them, and leave the gutter clean.
A clean gutter that still spills water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem, and left alone that spill is how rot starts behind the gutter. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The gutter cleaning process is the one we quoted on the phone, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The price we quote is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
