Our own crew provides cleaning services in Seymour. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout until it runs clear, and haul away what came out. You get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the footprint of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Seymour homeowners who want the gutters cleared can call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate.
Across Tennessee, most of the homes we clean are on a spring and fall schedule, and that is the rhythm we book around to protect your home from water damage.
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, how much roof there is to cover and what has built up in the gutters. We give you the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and that is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather you know the whole number before we set a ladder.
On our jobs the things that move the number are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or a landscape that slopes toward the house, which puts the back run further up than it looks from the driveway, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed solid, any twig or blockage at a downspout elbow, and guards that we have to lift and reseat before we can clear anything underneath. Downspout flushing, drainage checks, flow testing and haul-away are included and are never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our cleaning services in Seymour reach neighborhoods with heavy tree cover, where leaves collect faster than in open lots, and on those houses the gutter cleaning process takes a little longer because every downspout needs more flushing. When you call, tell us what you see along the eaves and we will tell you what that means for the number. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy, and we can usually narrow the number down before we ever talk about a visit. The heavy rainfall we get in the wetter months of the year fills gutters faster, and rainwater that cannot drain sits in the trough, so a clean run in early spring can be packed again by summer. That is part of why our customers book on a schedule rather than waiting for a leak. Cleaning and maintenance done on time costs less than repairing rot, and gutter maintenance keeps the water away from your home.
A few months ago a homeowner on the east side of town had us out after a long stretch without cleaning. The leaf mat was two inches deep in the trough and the downspout at the back corner was blocked at the elbow. The number came in on the phone from her stories and the size of the house, and that is the number she paid.
| 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 Seymour customers book two cleanings a year, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in late October or November after the last leaves are down. That is the usual schedule most of them settle into, and our calendar is built around it. On our jobs the spring visit is mostly seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, which is where clogged downspouts start, and the fall visit is the wet load of leaves that sits in the trough and starts rotting the fascia behind it before the winter rain arrives.
When we open a rain gutter here in May we find seeds packed to the elbow and a crust of pollen that holds water in the trough. In the fall we find the leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we have seen runs that sag or pull loose by March, usually after ice has been sitting on them, and that is where structural damage starts. Freezing weather in winter is hard on a gutter that is still full of water, so a clean trough in the fall is what keeps the spring from starting with damage.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what our crews see as the right rhythm, because needles and grit pack the downspout elbows between visits and a single missed season is enough to back water up over the edge. With few or no trees around the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards slow the buildup, but they do not stop it, so on guarded gutters we still clear the surface and check that water is getting in, and we book less often than we would on an open system. If you want a set schedule, tell us what your trees look like and we will tell you which rhythm fits.
We do not give you a schedule on paper before we have seen the house. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we keep the same crew on the schedule so they know the gutter system by the next time they come out. Whichever tier fits, our gutter cleaning services work the same way every visit: flush, haul, photograph.
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 works across Seymour TN, serving Seymour homes and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking with us starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the stories, the rough size of the house and whether there are trees over it, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. That is usually enough to set a number, and we book a date once you agree to it.
The calendar fills up in two busy windows, one in spring and one in late fall, so if you are waiting for a particular month, call early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Our crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside, and leaves the yard as clean as it was found. We check water flow through every run before we leave. Whether you want to clean your gutters once or on a set schedule, tell us when you call.
Regular gutter cleaning is the bulk of what we do here, and residential and commercial properties run on the same schedule model, so a homeowner calling in the fall gets the same clean run and the same photos as a business calling in the spring. Debris removal is part of every visit, so nothing is left in the trough or on the lawn. If you have a clog that is already overflowing, say so when you call, because a clog at the bottom of a downspout changes how we plan the visit.
The estimate comes from how many stories the house has and how big its footprint is, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a range before we know those two things.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall to keep your gutters clear through the wet season. If you wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat is usually still in the trough by the time the freezing weather arrives.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Our gutter services are booked the same way, so if you need a faster visit because water is already overflowing, tell us on the phone so we can plan around it.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of the gutters and downspouts 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 downspout and watch the water until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check the outlet, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we agree on before we touch it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, though less often. On our jobs we find leaves, needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and grit underneath, so we clear the surface and check that water is getting in.
If a gutter that is clean still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope, downspout size or a roofline that sends water to the wrong run, rather than debris. Send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, we raise it and you agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
