Our own crew leaves every gutter clean across Farragut, with every outlet flushed and flow-tested, the material 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 on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Tennessee, most of our customers book a spring and fall visit, and we can give you a clear quote in a few minutes. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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 sitting in the gutters. On residential properties we give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way, and companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the height and the condition of the run matter more than the length.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up in the air, gutters nobody has opened in years, and guards we have to lift and reseat. When a rain gutter is packed with leaves and debris, the crew needs more time to get each run clean, and that shows up in the quote before we climb. Drain flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras.
Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice. If we find a run that has started to sag, a loose hanger or a leak at a seam, we photograph it, show you the photo and tell you what it is, because structural damage often starts small. We do not sell a second cleaning to fix a problem a cleaning cannot fix. The job is to get the water away from your home, and the quote covers that job only.
On Farragut homes we have seen the same pattern again and again: the house with the most trouble is the one whose gutters have not been opened in several seasons. The clog builds up in the elbows, the water flow slows, and by the time we arrive the buildup has packed the trough and the drainage has stopped. Clearing that to a clean trough takes longer than a routine run, so we price it honestly from the start. Leaves and grit that have been sitting for a year weigh more than a fresh load, and the crew has to work them out by hand.
Our experience with the neighborhood runs is specific to the houses we have worked on. Where a customer has a large tree over the house, the crew finds the same story each time: seed casings and grit working into the drains, and the flow slowing down well before the gutter looks full. On one job the front run was clear to the eye but the clogged downspouts were packed solid, which is why we flush every downspout and check that the water is moving. Most houses we see do not need more than a standard visit, but the photo of the front of the house, sent by text, lets us spot the bigger jobs before we are on the ladder.
| 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 Farragut TN book this gutter cleaning service twice a year, in spring and fall: once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall, between November and early December, after the last leaves come down. That rhythm keeps the rainwater moving along the roofline and out through the outlets, and it catches the blockage before it turns into a problem with the house. The question most people ask is how often to clean your gutters, and the answer depends on the trees.
In spring we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat that sits in the trough before the rainy season. Farragut gets 57.3 inches of rain a year, and March, July and December are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall loads the gutters at the worst times. Freeze risk is real here, so the fall visit clears the trough before the first hard freeze. When we open a gutter in late spring we often find the pollen has turned to a paste that holds grit, and that paste is what slows the flow. Water that sits too long in that trough is how rot gets into the fascia board. In November it is the same job with the leaves on top, and the job runs quicker when the gutter has been kept clean through the year.
If your lot has heavy tree cover, the schedule changes. Under big trees, leaf litter, grit and the occasional twig pack the outlets between visits, and our customers in that situation book cleanings every three to four months. Near a busy road or construction, the grit comes faster and the same schedule applies. A lot with few or no trees and a simple landscape is usually fine on a once-a-year visit in late fall. Homes with gutter guards still need regular gutter cleaning, just less often, and the gutter system still has to be cleared and the surface kept clean.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and that sets your gutter maintenance schedule.
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 Farragut and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking a Farragut gutter cleaning is simple: give us the number of stories, the rough size of the house and whether there are trees over the house, and we send a quote by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. If it is easy, text a photo of the front of the house so we can see the gutter line before we arrive.
Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our schedule fills first. Booking early helps protect your home from water damage, and it keeps the cleanings on the calendar. If your question is about commercial properties, or a mix of residential and commercial work, call the number and we will tell you on the phone whether the job fits. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you want a slot in a busy window, call early and we will hold it for you.
We serve Farragut homeowners who want the job done once and done right, and every homeowner gets the same process either way. Our gutter services keep your gutters and downspouts working between visits, with a clear schedule. The crew stays on the ladder until the runs are clean and the outlets are flowing, and the photos go to your phone before we leave.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house, because a two-story with a steep pitch and a packed run is a different job from one that was cleaned last season. The cleaning and maintenance visit is priced from those same details.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. Get your gutters on the calendar before the first hard freeze, because if they wait past it we find a clog that has set in the elbows and runs that have sagged under the weight of wet material, which is harder and costlier to clear.
We provide cleaning services in Farragut on booked slots, and most come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and the crew leaves the site clean when the job is done.
No. Here is our gutter cleaning process: the crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep the path clean, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every drain and check that the water leaves clean at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, and especially where the landscape is planted close to the eaves, we find seed casings threaded through the guard, leaf litter on top and grit underneath, so the run still has to be cleared to a clean surface and the drains checked.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or outlet problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is.
Only if we 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.
