Our own crew cleans gutters across Union City TN, and Union City gutter cleaning is priced from what we see at your house. Every drain is flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and grit are hauled away, and photos of every run reach your phone before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Union City customers book in the spring and fall, and the yard is left clean.
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 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. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but Union City homes vary too much for a flat rate, and on a house this size the total is what matters to you.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up the wall, so the crew works from a boom or scissor lift. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavy, packed with compacted leaves and grit. And guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A gutter that looks clean from the driveway can still be full at the back run, which is where the work usually is. We tell you which of these applies when we give you the number, not after the ladder is up.
Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. We flush every drain and check that the drainage carries water through to the outlet, because a clean trough that still drains badly is not a finished job. If anything we find changes the scope of the work, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a typical Union City job, the buildup sits at the back run and the low corner, where leaves and grit turn into a clog that holds water against the wall. The crew clears the run, flushes the clogged downspouts and leaves the trough clean. Any sag at a hanger gets photographed for the homeowner before the crew moves on.
When a gutter is packed like that, the water has nowhere to go but over the front edge, and that is how a leak starts at the eave and structural damage follows. A gutter that is only half full still lets water run past it onto the foundation. Our crew clears the trough, checks the pitch and makes sure the water flow carries water away from your home. Commercial properties are on a different schedule, and we cover those separately, but residential properties and commercial buildings both need the same basic attention to keep the gutter system working.
| 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 falls in mid to late May, after the seed and pollen drop. Most of our Union City customers also book in late October or November, after the last leaves. Union City gets about 53.8 inches of rain a year, and March through May are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a clog shows up first. The goal is a clean gutter line before those months. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and that is what backs up rainwater before the wet months arrive. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs sagging by March.
Under heavy tree cover we see customers on every three to four months, because needles and grit fill the drains between visits and the trough gets a steady clog. Each gutter cleaning service visit resets that clock, and regular gutter maintenance keeps it from drifting. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. A busy road or a construction site dusts the landscape and the gutters faster, and the same three to four month schedule makes sense there. A clean gutter in May does not stay clean for long if trees hang over the roof. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters get fewer cleanings, not none.
When we open a gutter here in May we look at the drain elbows first, then the back run, then the low corner where water pools. A single twig in an elbow can back the whole run up. A gutter that is clean at the top and still backing up at the outlet has a blockage further down, and we clear that too. Most of what we find is the same from year to year, which is why the schedule is easy to keep once it is set.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we write it down so the next booking is not a guess. Whether you clean your gutters between visits or leave it all to us, the first visit sets the schedule. Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will set the first date.
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 Union City from the nearest base, and we clean homes and businesses in the surrounding areas on the same schedule. The gutter cleaning process starts with an estimate by phone or text, based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We work off the lawn and keep the landscape clear of ladder marks where we can. The lead time on a slot varies with the season, and we give you a date when you call rather than a promise we cannot keep.
The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months is the simplest way to get your gutters on the slot you want. We call before we come, nobody needs to be home, and the crew works from the outside of the house, leaving the walkway clean.
If you already have regular gutter cleaning with us, we keep your gutters on the same cycle every year and send the photos for each visit. Cleaning and maintenance on a fixed cycle is the simplest way to keep your gutters and drains working through the seasons and to protect your home from water damage. Our gutter services stay on that schedule, and every visit gets its own set of photos. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will book your date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. The figure is what we charge, and flushing and haul-off are included.
Most of our customers book in late spring and late fall. If the gutters wait past the spring seed drop, the buildup gets packed into the elbows, and if they wait past the fall leaves, the wet mat can freeze at the eave by winter. A fascia board that stays soaked can rot long before the gutter looks bad.
Same-day depends on our calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call at (866) 435-6328.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain to your phone before the truck leaves. The crew leaves the yard clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water reaches the outlet. An underground drain line is a separate job, and we give you its price before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles, leaf fragments and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and the surface still has to be cleared even when the trough stays empty.
A gutter that is clean and still spilling over the front edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
