Our crew cleans gutters in Middle Valley by hand, flushes every downspout and checks that it flows, hauls the debris away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Tennessee most of our customers book in spring and fall, which is when we do the bulk of our work.
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 size and what is sitting 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. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a pitch 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 packed with compacted muck, a twig jammed in an elbow that holds back the whole run, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clean underneath. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of everything we pull out are included and are never billed as extras. A leak at a joint or seam gets photographed and reported, not sold on the spot. Gutters that drain properly carry water away from your home, and that is how we protect your home from water damage at the fascia and foundation. We look over the roofline before the ladders go up so the quote matches the real pitch. If something changes the job once we are looking at it, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Middle Valley homeowners see the biggest quotes on houses with mature trees and years of buildup, because the gutter cleaning process takes longest there. A heavy leaf load usually means every downspout has to be flushed before the run drains, and the homeowner can see the difference the same afternoon. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts the same way on every job, and leaves the yard as clean as it was when the crew arrived. Keep in mind that a lot of what drives the cost is how long the gutters have gone without attention, so the sooner you get your gutters on a schedule the less it tends to cost over time. Heavy rainfall days also tell us which runs will overflow first, and we check those carefully. Our cleaning and maintenance is the same everywhere we work, done by the same crew, and that is the most honest way we know to describe our gutter maintenance.
| 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.
Across Tennessee, the spring visit lands in mid to late May, after the seeds and pollen drop. Most Middle Valley customers book the fall visit for late October to November, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and the goal is a clean run by the time the crew leaves. In November it is wet leaves and debris matted in the trough, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by March.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps up, because needles and grit pack into each downspout between visits and the gutter system stops moving water away. Middle Valley homes with few or no trees do well with one visit a year in late fall. Many customers schedule two cleanings a year, one in spring and one in fall, and that is the simplest plan to keep. Guarded gutters need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because the leaves and debris that sit on top of a guard turn into a mat once it is wet. Rainwater that sits in a clogged run spills over the front, and clogged downspouts cause more overflow than a full trough does. On every visit the crew checks each elbow and downspout for a clog, because a blockage in one elbow is where the water backs up first.
The landscape around the house sets the pace more than anything else. A lot near a busy road or a construction site collects grit that washes into the runs, and that calls for a shorter interval. Where drainage is already slow, a run left too long can cause structural damage and rot in the fascia, so we tighten the schedule. The rain gutter that sags or pulls loose is the one to watch, and it tells us when a visit is overdue. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in your own gutters.
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 provides cleaning services in Middle Valley TN and the surrounding areas. The gutter cleaning services we run are built for residential and commercial properties alike, on the same schedule of visits. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, built from your stories, your size and your tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
The two windows when our calendar fills are late spring and late fall, the same spring and fall visits described above, so booking early in those months gives you the right choice of date. Outside those windows slots open up faster. Our gutter cleaning service can run as a one-time visit or as regular gutter cleaning, and on a recurring schedule the next date is already on the calendar. Ask us to clean your gutters on a schedule and we will set every date before the crew leaves the driveway. Debris removal is included in every visit, so nothing is left on the lawn.
We can plan a run of houses on the same street together, which keeps the schedule tight across Middle Valley homes and the streets around them. Residential properties on a shared street often get booked as one run. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the next date we have open.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story house with a steep pitch is a different job than one with a low, flat run. Our gutter services are priced the same way for every Middle Valley home.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall, so each visit starts with a clean run. Keep your gutters on that twice-a-year schedule and a sagging run rarely catches you by surprise. If you wait past the fall visit, we tend to find the first ice and runs that have started to sag by the time winter sets in during January and February.
Slots do not always open the same week, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the exact date. If you need something sooner, tell us the day you need when you call and we will check the calendar for that day.
No. The work is done from outside, and the crew does not come inside. Photos of every run and downspout go to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We check the gutters and their outlets together, flush every downspout and confirm it runs clear at the bottom. If a line carries drainage underground, we confirm the water flow at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find seed casings, pollen and grit sitting on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet the water runs over it and off the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath and check the flow.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after. 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.
