Our own crew cleans gutters in Murrells Inlet SC, flushes each run until it flows clean, hauls off everything that came out, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from how many stories the house has, how big it is and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we can tell you which visit your lot needs after the first look.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, how large the footprint is and what is sitting in the gutters, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that offer gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the height and the packing matter more than the length.
What moves the quote is usually what the crew finds once the ladder is up. On Murrells Inlet homes a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eaves. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed, and a clog that old takes longer to get clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and so does any gutter maintenance that has been put off for a long stretch. Flushing every run, the flow test and the haul-away are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house, and we will give you an estimate before a crew is scheduled.
On a recent job the quote went up because the back run sat under a heavy tree canopy and the outlets were packed with the same grit and seed mat we see all over the county. We flushed every downspout, confirmed the water flow at the outlets and carried out everything that came loose before we left. Residential properties are priced the same way as anything else we take on: we look at the building first and quote from what is there. Waiting for a spill before you clean your gutters usually means a bigger bill. Keeping up with debris removal between visits is what keeps the price predictable.
| 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 book twice a year: in spring, after the seeds and pollen drop finishes, and again in late fall, after the last leaves and debris come down. In spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs sagging by the time winter ends. Heavy tree cover changes the schedule. Under big trees the needles, twig ends and grit pack the gutters between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months. With few or no trees, one of our cleanings a year in late fall is usually enough to keep your gutters clean and rainwater moving.
Seasonal debris along the roofline is the main reason a gutter clogs, and a clog is how water ends up behind the fascia, which is where a leak usually starts. Clogged downspouts, or any blockage low in the run, push that water back into the trough, and left long enough it turns into structural damage and rot in the fascia and soffit. Heavy rainfall lands hardest in July, August and September, the wettest months here, so a full trough is most likely then. On our jobs the buildup is what drives the tier, more than the calendar. Gutter guards cut down how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so we treat guarded gutters on a lighter schedule with the top layer kept clean and checked. Gutters and downspouts only do their job when the water has a clear path and good drainage, and clearing that path is how we protect your home from water damage on each visit.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. From the ladder or the driveway, a rain gutter that is working looks clear: troughs with no standing water, and a clean path to get water away from the house at every outlet, and we photograph it that way. We keep the photos from that visit so the next one is a fast comparison. If the house has skipped a season and you are not sure what to expect, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the house from the photos you send.
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.
The crew covers all of Murrells Inlet and the surrounding areas, working out from our nearest base, and works around the landscape beds when it sets the ladders. We have kept gutters clean across Murrells Inlet, and the quote is built the same way whichever street you are on: stories, size, tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Murrells Inlet gutter cleaning is booked the same way from one end of town to the other. Text the photo or call and we take it from there. Most calls become a booked slot within the week, and we confirm the day and the arrival window when we call before we come.
The two busiest windows on our calendar are the spring seed drop and the late fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months is how you get your gutters on the calendar. Outside those windows the calendar opens up and a clean slot is easy to find. Nobody needs to be home for the visit, and the crew calls before arriving so you know who is on the ladder. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every house: the cleaning and maintenance happen on one visit, the debris is bagged and carried away from your home, and the photos come to you before the truck leaves. For a homeowner who wants the gutters handled without thinking about them, this is the easiest way to keep up with regular gutter cleaning and gutter maintenance on a set schedule. Murrells Inlet homeowners book the same way.
Our gutter services cover residential and commercial properties, and a clean run on either is booked the same way. Ask for the next open date when you call.
Our cleaning services in Murrells Inlet are priced from how tall the house is, how large the footprint is and what is in the gutters. We give you the figure by phone or text, and it is the number you pay. I can't give you a figure on a page that doesn't know your house.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, which gives each season a clean start. If the gutters wait past the fall leaf drop, we usually find the wet leaf mat packed into the elbows and, on houses that skipped that visit, runs that sag before winter ends. The point of that visit is keeping water away from the foundation.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you want to clean your gutters before a storm, say so on the call and we will look for the earliest window. We tell you the next open window rather than promising a day we may not have.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and every outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every run gets flushed and we confirm the water flow at the outlet. If a line drains underground, we check that water is leaving and tell you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before touching it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs cleaning, just less often than an open one. Guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top and turn into a mat that water runs over. We keep the surface clean and check the flow under the guards.
We check the outlets first. A clean gutter that still spills water over the edge has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if they find something that changes the job, and 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.
