Our own crew cleans gutters in North Myrtle Beach and leaves them clean. Each run is cleared and flow-tested, leaves are hauled off, and you get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how many trees hang over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book in spring and fall, when the seed and pollen drop is done or 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 how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and that number is what we charge. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of gutter, but the height and the blockage that slows drainage matter more than the length. That is why we ask about stories first, and why homes across North Myrtle Beach can price differently from one street to the next.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are the ones you can see from the driveway and the ones you cannot. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits much higher than it looks. A rain gutter that has not been opened in years arrives packed with compacted leaves and muck, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time on the ladder. Flushing, a water flow check and haul-away are included and are never billed as extras, including on commercial properties with long runs. When the job is done, the gutters are clean and the photos are on your phone. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what the experience looks like. A two-story home with a heavy canopy over the front run came to us with a clog at the first elbow, clogged downspouts backing up at the bottom, sagging brackets along the back, and leaves and debris packed three inches deep, the kind of buildup that spills water over the edge in heavy rainfall. Our crew cleared the runs, flushed each one until the water came out clean at the bottom, and photographed the sag so the owner could see what we found. Once the runs were clear, the rain had a path to carry water away from the fascia. A sag that long left alone can turn into structural damage, which is why we flagged it. The quote was the number on the phone. A job like that is why we want a photo of the front of the house by text before we give the number, if it is easy to send.

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 North Myrtle Beach SC customers book two visits a year. Across South Carolina, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late April, and when we open a gutter then we usually find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. The fall visit here usually lands in late November to December, after the last leaves are down, and by then the problem is the wet leaf mat. Rain that runs over it and off the front edge is the first sign a run is full and starting to leak.
The spring visit is mostly about keeping the runs clean and open through the season. The fall visit is about clearing the leaves before a clog forms and before the rain comes, since the wettest months on our data are July through September, and a full gutter in those months lets rainwater sit behind the fascia and rot the board. Houses that skip the fall visit tend to show it later, with runs that have pulled loose or sagged by the next wet season.
How often depends on the lot. Regular gutter cleaning is the simplest answer: twice a year keeps most houses clean enough, and that holds for most residential properties with normal tree cover. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, we see needles, grit and the odd twig pack the runs between visits, and those lots are on every three to four months. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards mean less frequent visits, but the surface still needs clearing. If you try to clean your gutters yourself between visits, know that the spot you can reach is rarely the spot that clogs. Debris removal is part of every visit, and the service is the same whatever the tier: every run cleared and photographed. We tell you which tier your lot needs after the first visit, for residential and commercial buildings alike.
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 the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we clean homes and small commercial buildings across the area. Booking for North Myrtle Beach gutter cleaning starts when a homeowner calls or texts for a quote, and North Myrtle Beach homeowners get the same phone quote as everyone else, based on stories, square footage and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the house front helps us size the job and protect your home from surprises on the ladder, if it is easy to send. We check gutters and downspouts on every visit, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Across South Carolina, the spring window runs mid to late April, and the fall window here is late November to December, when the leaf drop brings most homeowners to book at once. If you want a date in those windows, call (866) 435-6328 early. Lead time is quoted when you call, and we confirm the date before the crew is scheduled. Booking works the same way for small commercial buildings, and each gutter cleaning service follows the same process. Every visit is a job to keep your gutters clear, and a clean run protects your home from water damage between cleanings.
Cleaning services in North Myrtle Beach are quoted from your stories and square footage, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you the number.
Across South Carolina, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late April, when seeds and pollen have packed into the elbows. Here, the fall visit is late November to December, when the wet leaf mat is what blocks the runs. Waiting past the fall visit is when we start finding sags by the next wet season.
Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we confirm a date when you call. If you need to get your gutters cleaned soon, call early, since slots in the busy windows usually open up within the week.
No. Our crew works outside, keeps the yard clean, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and its outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the crew keeps every ladder away from your home, off the siding and the gutter lip.
Yes, our gutter cleaning process is to flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving at the outlet. If a line runs underground and water is not coming out, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. A gutter system with guards still needs gutter maintenance, because guards keep leaves out but let needles, seed casings and grit settle on top. Under a heavy landscape canopy that mat gets thick, and once it is wet the water runs off the front edge. We clear the surface, leave the runs clean, check that water is getting in, and price the cleaning and maintenance into the quote.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain usually has a slope or drain-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video taken during heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The quote from the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
