Our crew cleans the gutters on your house, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls the mess off, and sends photos of every run before we leave, so you can see the work is clean. The price comes from your stories, your roof's size and how much tree cover hangs over it. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. To keep your gutters clean and protect your home from water damage, start with a phone call. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we are glad to give you a firm quote before a single ladder goes up.
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, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot and land in a similar place, but we would rather walk you through the actual house. Commercial properties are a different conversation, so this page only covers houses. What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof 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 guards we have to lift and reseat before the gutter can be reached. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters, and we will give you the quote from it.
On most jobs the gutter that is packed with compacted buildup needs the most time, and clogged downspouts are where that time goes. Leaves and debris that have sat through a few seasons turn into a dense mat, and the clog underneath often reaches down into the elbow of the downspout. Once the mat is out and the gutter is clean, we flush every downspout with water and watch the water flow to the bottom, then flow-test the run so we know drainage is working and the downspout sends water away from your home. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included in the quote and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice. Left alone, a packed rain gutter can sag and lead to structural damage at the fascia, which is why we would rather catch it early.
Bountiful homes vary a lot. A two-story house with only a few trees usually needs a quick pass once a year. A house under heavy tree cover can have a gutter packed so tight the water flow is almost nothing, and that job takes longer and costs more because the crew has to clear the sag and reseat the hangers. We do not guess a rate for a case like that; we look at the gutter, quote the job, and explain what it takes to get the gutter clean before we start.
| 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.
On residential properties in Bountiful UT, most customers book twice a year, in spring and fall: once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in May we usually find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and when we open one in November we find a wet leaf mat that has been sitting since the last storm. The wettest months are March, April and May, so rainwater hits the gutters hardest then. Houses that skipped the fall visit tend to show sagging runs by March, after the snow has added its weight to the wet buildup. Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is what keeps a clog from forming, because twigs and grit pack into the downspout between visits. With few or no trees, if you only want to clean your gutters once a year, aim for late October to November, before the freeze, which is usually enough for a roofline with few trees over it.
Guards change the schedule, though not as much as people expect. A guarded gutter stops the big leaves but still collects surface grit and seed casings on top of the guard, and water can run right over a mat that has formed there. So even with guards, we still keep the surface clean and check that water is getting into the trough, and a small leak at a joint is easy to miss from the ground. That visit comes less often than an open gutter, but it does not go away. Our crew flushes the downspout on every visit, because a blockage at the bottom is the one that shows up as water over the edge and across the landscape in the next rain.
After the first gutter cleaning service visit we tell you which schedule your house actually needs, based on what we find in the gutter and where the water goes from there. Debris removal is part of every visit, so the yard is clean when we leave, and we give you an estimate by phone or text before we book. Residential and commercial buildings differ in access, so the schedule above is written for houses.
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.
Bountiful gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text, built from your stories, the approximate size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof. Call (866) 435-6328, and every homeowner gets the same short set of questions on that call. A photo of the front of the house helps us picture the job before we arrive, and it takes only a minute to send. A leak at a seam or a sagging hanger is worth a photo too.
Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date with you when you call. The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills, so booking early in those months helps. Questions about the surrounding areas get answered on that same call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew leaves the yard clean. Debris removal is part of the quote, and it is never a separate line.
Whether you want a one-time visit or a standing schedule, the call is the place to start. Repeat cleanings follow the schedule we set after your first visit. If you have gutter guards, tell us on the call, since the guards decide what the crew has to lift and reseat. Our gutter services cover the gutters and downspouts from the eave down, and we flush every downspout before we leave.
Regular cleanings keep water moving through a clean run, and the crew checks every elbow for a twig on each visit. A single twig can back water up the whole run and send it over the edge. That is how you protect your home from water damage, and how we keep your gutters working through the season.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is sitting in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. We quote gutter cleaning across Bountiful the same way, and we do not quote a figure without seeing those three things. The number we give is the number on the invoice.
Most homeowners who call us book a spring visit and another in late October to November, once the seeds and leaves have come down. If you skip the fall visit and wait past the first hard freeze, we often find runs that have sagged under ice by March, and the fascia behind them may have started to rot.
We confirm the date when you call, and most slots come up within the week. Same-day service depends on the calendar that day, so ask us when you phone in if you want to get your gutters done this week.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. The yard is left clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Flushing is the last step of our gutter cleaning process, and we flush every downspout with water and watch it run to the bottom. We flow-test the run so you know the downspout is moving water away from your home. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes, they still need cleaning, though less often. Guards cut down on gutter maintenance, but they do not end the cleaning and maintenance schedule. On our jobs we find seed casings, twigs and grit sitting on top of the guard, and water running over the mat and onto the landscape instead of into the trough. We clear the surface and leave the guard clean on top, then check that water is getting in.
If your gutter system is clean and still overflows in the rain, the problem is usually slope or capacity rather than a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it actually is. Across Utah, a monsoon can put down heavy rainfall in an hour on a gutter that has been dry for weeks. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
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. 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.
