Our own crew cleans gutters in Alpine, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the trough emptied and 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 over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Utah, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when we are busiest.
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 price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning services across alpine UT are priced the same way on commercial properties, since the stories and the packed-in buildup do most of the work. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we can tell you a lot before we arrive.
What moves the price is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof that can not be walked changes the setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave line, so the back run sits farther up than it looks. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed with compacted buildup, and that takes longer than a light clog. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. A run that has pulled off the fascia is structural damage, and we flag it on the spot instead of folding it into the bill for the visit. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our Alpine jobs show the same pattern. On one house, the rain gutter was under a heavy canopy, leaves and debris had packed the elbows, and the water flow had slowed to a trickle. The crew spent extra time on the clogged downspouts before the flow ran clean, and the job stayed clean at the bottom. Getting water away from the house was the check we kept coming back to, and the homeowner got photos of every run once it was done. Most alpine homes we clean have no more than one or two of these factors, and that is usually why the number lands where it does.
| 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 Utah, spring visits land in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and fall visits run from October to early November, after the last leaves fall. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we have seen runs sag under the first ice by March. Where freeze risk is part of the picture, the fall visit is what keeps ice dams from lifting the shingles along the roofline.
Across Utah, a monsoon puts down heavy rainfall in an hour on a gutter that has been dry for weeks, and rainwater has nowhere to go but over the edge. A blockage in the run that overflows will leak behind the trough before anyone sees a stain, and that is how a gutter system fails quietly. Under heavy tree cover, the timing changes. Needles, seed casings, twig bits and grit pack the downspout between visits, so our customers with big trees over the house are on a three to four month cycle. Landscape beds, mulch and tree litter all end up in the trough, and grit from a busy road does the same thing. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the runs moving. Guards cut down how often the gutter itself fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters are visited less often, not skipped. Gutters on residential and commercial buildings follow the same seasons, so clean your gutters before the leaves mat down, not after.
Good gutter maintenance starts with a look at what is over the roof. Tell us when you call, and we will tell you which tier of regular gutter cleaning your lot actually needs. After the first visit we know what the gutter does through a full season, and we set the visits from that. Your clog history tells us more than a chart does. If you are not sure, a photo of the gutter line and the trees around it is enough for us to start from. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the first date, so you can get your gutters on the list before the next storm.
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.
We have cleaned gutters across the Alpine neighborhoods where the lot sizes and tree cover vary the most, and our alpine gutter cleaning crew covers the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, built from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Lead time is set by the calendar, and the two busy windows, spring and fall, are when slots fill first, so calling early helps. The process is the same for alpine homeowners and residential properties, from the first call to the last photo.
Once a date is set, the crew arrives with the equipment for your house and works through the gutters first, then the downspout, so the job stays clean and the yard stays clean too. Our goal is to keep your gutters clear through each season with regular cleanings, flush every downspout, and protect your home from water damage that starts behind a blocked run. Our cleaning and maintenance visits cover gutters and downspouts together, because a clear trough does nothing if the outlet is blocked. Anyone who wants regular service can book the next visit before the crew leaves, which keeps the timing steady across the year. Anything that sends water away from your home only works when the whole run is open.
Our gutter cleaning service prices off the stories and the size of the house, and we give you the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
For cleaning services in alpine, the calendar matters more than the weather. Across Utah, spring visits land in late May to June and fall visits run from October to early November. If you wait past the fall visit, we usually find the wet leaf mat and, on houses that skipped it, runs that have sagged by March. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will pick the month that fits your trees.
Same-day depends on how full the week is. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. All of our gutter services book through the same call, so ask for what you need and we will say when we can come.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, the gutter cleaning process includes a flow test at the outlet of every downspout. If water is not leaving through a buried line, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often. On our jobs the buildup sits on top of the guard, and needles and grit work their way in underneath. We clear the surface and check that the water is getting in, so the gutter stays clean where it counts.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A clean gutter that still spills over the edge usually has a slope or downspout problem rather than a clog, and water that spills behind it can rot the fascia. We tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for it.
Only if the job changes, and you hear about it before any work starts. The price we give you on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
