Homeowners in Clinton TN get their gutters done by our own crew, and every run comes out clean: every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Tennessee, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we are glad to quote yours in a few minutes.
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 how much buildup of leaves and debris is sitting in the gutters. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted 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, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped landscape raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, and a blockage that deep has to be dug out by hand, which takes the longest. Guards we have to lift and reseat add their own time. Clogged downspouts that have sat full for a season can also mean structural damage, and that repair costs more than the cleaning. Flushing, flow testing and hauling away everything that came out are included in the price and are never billed as extras. Every run gets a drainage check at the outlet and a water flow check at the bottom before the crew leaves. If something changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Clinton homes with a rain gutter run on a steep pitch get the same treatment, and the crew checks it from the ladder, not from the driveway. Every run is photographed before the crew starts and again once it is clean, so you can see the change for yourself. Commercial properties are quoted the same way, by stories, footage and what is in the trough. A clean run is only worth paying for if it carries water away from the house, so that is what we check. Customers in this area pay the same way: by what the crew finds, not by a flat guess.
| 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 here book twice a year, in the spring and fall, and the calendar follows the weather. Across Tennessee the spring visit falls in mid to late May, when we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. The climate here brings about 55.7 inches of rain a year, and heavy rainfall lands hardest in March, July and December. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that sag or pull loose by March. Freezing weather is a real factor here, with about 3.1 inches of snow a year in January and February, so the fall visit is the one that keeps ice from building up at the eave and pushing water under the shingles. If you only get to clean your gutters once, make it the fall visit.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what we see on our jobs, because needles, twig pieces and grit pack the drains between visits, and a single clog can back water over the edge in the next storm. Residential properties with a tree line need the closest schedule. Homes with few or no trees near the roof can usually manage with one cleaning a year in late fall. Regular upkeep works the same way for residential and commercial buildings alike, and it is the simplest way to stay ahead of a clog. Near a busy road or active construction, the rainwater carries more grit into the rain gutter, which shortens the interval. Debris removal is part of every visit, so the gutter comes out clean. Gutter guards reduce how often you need to clean the gutters, but the surface still needs clearing.
Every visit starts with a look at the trough and the outlets. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate reflects that. Once a gutter is clean, the schedule is easy to hold.
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.
Homeowners who want Clinton gutter cleaning booked fast can call us, and we cover the surrounding areas too. Every one of our cleanings covers the full run, top to bottom, and the crew comes ready for it. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front if that is easier. We will ask about stories, approximate size and tree cover, and give you the price on the spot. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busiest windows are late spring and late fall, when most of our calendar fills.
We call before we come, and every homeowner is covered by the same photos whether they are home or not. The sooner you book, the sooner your gutters are clean and the less likely a clog turns into a leak or water damage in the house. Booking early helps protect your home from water damage, and a twig caught in an elbow is the kind of small problem that becomes a big one in the next storm. If you have gutter guards, tell us when you book so the crew brings the right tools, and we will help you keep your gutters running clear between visits. The earlier you can get your gutters on the calendar, the better, so ask us to set up regular gutter cleaning and we will hold the dates for you. Our gutter services work the same way every time: the gutters and downspouts get worked together, so a clear gutter does not sit over a clogged outlet, and we flush every downspout before we leave.
The number comes from stories and size, so we quote it by phone or text from those details. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the price before anyone comes out.
Most of our customers across Clinton book in late spring and late fall, when the leaves have built up. If the spring visit is skipped, we find packed seeds and pollen in the elbows, and if the fall visit is skipped, the leaf mat and first ice cause trouble by winter, especially after heavy rainfall.
Same-day slots depend on the calendar, and we confirm the exact date for any of our cleaning services in Clinton when you call. If you need a sooner visit, tell us what you are seeing and we will say what is possible.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves, so you see the clean result for yourself. You can be away from your home and still get the same photos, and every homeowner gets them.
Yes, we flush every outlet and check water flow until it runs clear at the bottom. Checking underground drainage is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it. The gutter cleaning process always includes that check at the outlet.
Yes. Guards keep out leaves, but the gutter system still collects needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guard, and that blocks the flow. We lift the panels, clear underneath, check the water flow and reseat them. Skipping that visit lets water sit against the trim until rot starts.
If a clean gutter still spills water over the edge during heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope, capacity or pipe size rather than something left in the trough. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, since a slope problem falls outside cleaning and maintenance.
It should not. Gutter maintenance quotes are set on the phone, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, not after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
