Our own crew cleans gutters, flushing every downspout, flow-testing each run, and hauling everything away. You get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, before the rain sets in and after the leaves come 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 stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. We look at the whole house before we clean anything, so the number is set before the ladder goes up. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but the per-foot math hides what actually takes the time on a house, so we quote the whole job instead.
On our jobs, a few things push a quote up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves and debris, and a clog that old takes longer to clear than a light seasonal load. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on every run they cover. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job once we are looking at it, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we find on older Millington homes. Years of leaves and seed casings form a buildup in the elbows, and clogged downspouts back water up and spill over the front edge instead of carrying water away from your home. Where that has gone on long enough, we see rot at the fascia board and sag in the runs, and the crew reports any structural damage in the photos so you can decide what to do next. We clear the blockage, flush every downspout, and confirm water flow runs to the bottom before we leave, so nothing is left to slow the drainage. The job is quoted the same way for every house, and it is priced to the house in front of us, not to a guess. The method is the same for residential properties and commercial properties, and the quote is set the same way for both.
| 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 book twice a year, once in spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, even on a run we clean every fall. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag by March under the weight of what froze in them.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is the schedule our crew sees hold up, because needles, twig bits and grit pack the outlets between visits. Lots with few or no trees do fine with one cleaning a year in late fall. Houses with guards still need the surface cleared, just less often. A rain gutter that stays full of leaves between visits lets rainwater sit at the roofline during heavy rainfall, and that is how a clog turns into a leak at the fascia.
Before the crew leaves, we know what your lot needs, and we tell you which tier fits. After the first visit we can give you a clear schedule for the rest of the year. Plan to keep your gutters on that schedule, since regular gutter maintenance in Millington TN is what keeps each Millington gutter cleaning visit short.
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 cleans gutters across Millington TN and the surrounding areas, working the homes we can reach from the nearest base without ever leaving a run half done. Our gutter services cover the whole house, from the eave down to the outlet. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 with your stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and text a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. We quote from that and confirm a date to get your gutters on the schedule. Our calendar fills in the busy windows, which come in late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call, the better your odds of getting the slot you want.
We call before we come, and a homeowner does not need to be home for the cleaning. The crew works from outside the house and sends homeowners photos of every run before the truck leaves, so you see the work even when you are at the office. The gutter cleaning process is the same at every house. Our commitment is to clean the gutters and downspouts, flush every downspout, and protect your home from water damage at the roofline, and every one of our cleanings is done that same way.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not put a figure in writing here because the house decides it. Tell us the stories, the square footage and whether trees are over the roof, and you get the number we will charge. We quote residential and commercial jobs the same way, so call (866) 435-6328 to start.
Most of our customers here book late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and late fall after the leaves are down. If the fall visit gets skipped, we find sagging runs by March on the houses that waited. A spring and fall schedule is the simplest way to clean your gutters before the wettest months and the heavy rainfall that comes with them.
Lead time depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so you know exactly when the crew is coming. We provide cleaning services in Millington on a booked calendar, and we clean the gutters on the day we confirm.
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. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside, and move cars off any landscape path the ladders need.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water leaves at the outlet. If water from a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we tell you whether it is getting away. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, gutter guards still need cleaning and maintenance. Leaves, seed balls and needles sit on top of the guard, and grit settles underneath. On our jobs we lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the outlets and reseat the guards, which usually runs shorter than an open gutter. A gutter system with guards still needs that check, even when it looks clean.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over the front edge in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and you agree to it first. 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.
