Our own crew cleans gutters in Newberry, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Newberry customers book in the spring and fall, and we will tell you which visit your lot needs when we first look at it.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for our gutter cleaning services depends on how many stories the house has, its size 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. A light clean and a heavy one are quoted on the same three things. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the stories and the buildup in the trough drive the figure more than the length does.
Here is what moves a quote on our jobs. For a homeowner with a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, we bring a boom or scissor lift, which means more time on the ground. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter that is already sagging or letting water leak over the edge takes more care. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and that takes longer than a light clean. A gutter system with guards we have to lift and reseat adds time as well. Every downspout gets a flush and a water flow check at the outlet, and flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
On our Newberry jobs a common case is a two-story home with heavy leaf load in the back run, where the clog and the sag had been building for a season. We left the trough clean, flushed the clogged downspouts and checked the drainage at the ground, and the quote we gave on the phone was the number on the invoice. We name the neighborhoods where we have worked and the homes we have cleaned only when they are on our job list, and for Newberry homeowners, the same method applies: stories, size and what the crew finds in the gutter. Residential properties and commercial properties both follow the same quote method, but commercial work is priced per building on a schedule. Where we find structural damage, such as a sagging run or a pulled hanger, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell repair. The goal is to keep rain water away from the house, not to add work that was not asked for.
| 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 in Newberry SC book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across South Carolina, the spring visit falls in mid to late April. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and fall visits run November to early December. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose before the next spring. Water left sitting in a trough can rot the fascia board behind it. If you are unsure how often to clean your gutters, the trees on your lot decide the answer.
Under heavy tree cover, leaves and grit build up faster, and the downspouts need a visit more often than twice a year. Regular gutter cleaning matters under trees because needles and grit pack in between visits. A single twig wedged in a downspout elbow is enough to back water up the run. Near a busy road or a construction site, the rainwater carries more grit and the same tighter schedule applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most homes. Gutter guards cut the frequency, but the surface still needs a clean, so the schedule does not drop to zero. We check the roofline and the blockage at each visit and tell you the tier your lot needs.
Think of it as cleaning and maintenance on a schedule, not a one-time job. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate for the next visit comes with it. Residential and commercial buildings both get this kind of schedule, and the Newberry gutter cleaning calendar is set when the first job is done. Debris removal is part of every visit, so the gutter clog does not come back in the next storm and each run stays clean between visits. That is how we keep the gutter cleaning service on a predictable cycle.
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 gutters across Newberry from our own crew, and we cover the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking is simple. Every homeowner who calls gets a quote from stories, size and tree cover. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we confirm the first available date when you call. Our cleaning services in Newberry follow one gutter cleaning process: we call before we come, nobody needs to be home for the visit, and we check the gutters and downspouts before the crew leaves.
Two busy windows fill our calendar each year, the late spring visit and the late fall visit, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. If a gutter has been overflowing after heavy rainfall, do not wait for the next storm. A clean trough protects your home from water damage around the foundation, and we flush every downspout on the same visit to keep rain water away from your home. Want to get your gutters on the calendar before the next storm? Call us and we will find the slot. We want to keep your gutters working, not sell you a new system, and we aim to keep the gutter services predictable from one visit to the next.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. There is no fixed figure on this page because the house decides it, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
Most of our customers book in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. If the fall visit gets skipped, we find sagging runs before the next spring on the houses that waited. Keeping that rhythm is the simplest gutter maintenance a homeowner can do.
Slots open as the calendar allows, and we confirm a date when you call (866) 435-6328. We do not promise same-day unless a slot is open that day.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout, clean or not, to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch until it runs clear at the bottom. Checking an underground line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
On our jobs, yes. Guards keep the big leaves out, but needles, seed balls and grit build up on top of the guard and the water stops getting in. We lift the panels, clean underneath and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. 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.
The quote holds unless the crew finds something that changes the job. If it does, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
