Our own crew cleans gutters on every job, with every drain flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run 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 the invoice. We have been doing this work across Tennessee for a long time, and most of our customers book in the spring and fall.
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 it over the phone or by text from those three things, for homes and commercial properties alike, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, but we would rather give you one number for the whole job.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and debris, with a buildup that is the slowest part to clear, and a run that has started to sag takes longer again. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, checking drainage and confirming water flow are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On one of our jobs, a customer had a two-story home with a fair amount of overhead cover and a clog that had been building for two seasons. The crew found a rain gutter packed to the drain elbow with seeds and grit, and water was running behind the fascia at one corner, where the wall was starting to leak. Clearing it and flushing the drain line fixed the overflow, and the gutter was clean again by the time the crew packed up. The photos of each run went to the customer's phone before the truck left. The case is linked below if you want to read the details.
Homeowners with clogged downspouts in heavy rainfall areas see the same pattern. The water backs up, sits against the wall, and in time causes structural damage and rot in the fascia, which costs far more than a cleaning. Most of our Clarksville homes are on a schedule that keeps water away from your home and helps protect your home from water damage. If you are unsure what your house needs, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number before anyone climbs a ladder.

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 Clarksville TN book twice a year, in spring and fall, with the fall visit landing in November and early December after the last leaves are down. Across Tennessee the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and that is when we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the drain elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose over the winter under ice. If you want to clean your gutters before the winter freeze, the fall visit is the one to book.
Under heavy tree cover, cleanings every three to four months is the schedule we see working, because needles and grit pack the drains between visits, a clog forms at the first bend, and the rainwater has nowhere to go. On a lot with few trees and an open landscape, one regular gutter cleaning a year in late fall keeps the roofline clear. Gutter guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be cleared. Near a busy road or active construction, the blockage builds faster than the average house, so the interval shortens and each visit brings more debris removal.
On one of our jobs with no trees over the house, the customer booked once a year in late fall and the crew found only a light layer of leaves, and the gutters were clean again by the time they left. On another, under a large canopy in a neighborhood with heavy cover, the schedule is every three to four months, and each visit clears a fresh load of needles. Both are linked from the case list, and each record names what the crew found at the visit.
After the first visit we tell you which gutter maintenance tier your lot actually needs. Ask for an estimate by phone or text, and we will quote the visit that fits your house.
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 gutter cleaning process is simple. Our crew covers residential and commercial properties from the nearest base. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and we will quote the visit. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to take. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Calendars fill fastest in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so booking early keeps the date you want. Lead time is confirmed when you call. Our Clarksville gutter cleaning and other gutter services run on the same schedule for homeowners, residential properties and the surrounding areas we cover, and we keep the same crew on the ladder from quote to a clean finish.
If your gutters are overflowing now, tell us when you call so we can work it into the schedule. Keep your gutters clean between visits by checking the gutters and downspouts after heavy rain, and flush every downspout if the water is slow to run out, since a slow drain is how a leak starts. Call us and we will get your gutters on the schedule.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the last leaves, the wet mat is harder to clear and the drains are often full before the first hard freeze.
Same-day slots depend on the week, since our crew works across Clarksville and books up fast in season, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we will tell you what we have when you reach us.
No, as a homeowner you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain 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 drain, clean out the outlet, and check that the water is leaving, since drainage is the whole point of the job. If a line runs underground and is not draining, we tell you and quote clearing it separately, so you can decide before anyone starts.
Yes, gutters with guards still need cleaning and maintenance, though less often. A guard is part of the gutter system, and on our jobs we find a twig and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, with grit underneath, so the surface still needs clearing and the drains still need flushing.
If the gutter is clean and still spills over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or outlet size rather than a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Our cleaning services in Clarksville are priced as one number, and anything that changes the job gets raised and agreed before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
