We clean gutters in Highland UT with our own crew, and every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Everything pulled out is hauled away, not blown onto the lawn, and you get photos of every run on your phone. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Utah, most of our customers book the spring and fall visits, so the calendar fills in those windows. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote and we will confirm the date.
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 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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though we do not quote that way.
What moves the number on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up the slope, and gutters nobody has opened in years. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and so does a gutter where packed-in leaf mat has built up in the run, because that is slower to clean out than loose leaves. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Highland jobs, the homes with the most trouble tend to be the older highland homes where the gutter has sat for several seasons. We open one of those and find the buildup a few inches deep, with leaves and debris pressed into the bottom of the rain gutter, and the water running out over the front edge instead of into the downspout. That kind of clog is why a cleaning sometimes takes longer than the first look suggests. Where the water flow stops at the bottom of a run, we check whether clogged downspouts are the cause, flush from the top and check the outlet, so you know the drainage is moving water away from the house.
Gutter cleaning services can look alike on a quote sheet, so ask what is in the number. We do not add a sag check or a repair line; if a run sags or a seam is starting to leak, we photograph it and put it in the report. When a clog has been running long enough to cause structural damage to the fascia or the wall below, that shows up as rot in the board, and it is a separate conversation from the cleaning itself.
On residential properties, the report is the record of what each run held before and after. A clogged run is usually the first thing the crew finds, and the photo of each run shows the water moving again. The price on the report matches the number we quoted.
| 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, the spring visit runs late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves come down. Most of our cleanings in Highland UT happen in those two windows. When we open a gutter in late May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and in the fall it is the wet leaf mat that has to come out before the first freeze. Houses that skipped the fall visit tend to show sagging runs by March, after the ice has had a season to work on them, while a clean run at the fall visit gives the snow nothing to hold.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, the needles and grit pack the runs between visits, so those homes book more often. With few or no trees, a late fall visit is usually enough to keep the run clean. Guarded gutters still need the surface cleared, and the visit frequency drops, but it does not disappear.
Here is what we see when a Highland gutter system sits too long: the buildup goes past the leaves, the water flow slows, and the clog reaches the bottom of the downspout. A blockage like that sends rainwater back toward the roofline and the wall below it, and a heavy rainfall makes it worse. Across Utah, a monsoon can put down an hour's worth of rain on a gutter that has been dry for weeks, and a run that was half-blocked overflows in that hour, even when it looked clean from the driveway. The estimate we give after the first visit reflects that, and debris removal is priced into it.
Calling to book is the easiest way to set a schedule with a gutter cleaning service. When you call, we confirm the date and the window, and after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so the schedule matches the house. Residential and commercial accounts use the same calendar. Clean your gutters on the schedule we set, and the regular gutter cleaning stays a small job each time.
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 gutter services cover Highland, and we clean the homes across Highland the same way we clean the homes across Utah. Booking starts with a quote for highland gutter cleaning by phone or text, from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. If you have gutter guards, tell us when you call and we quote the lift and reseat in. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. To book, call (866) 435-6328 and we confirm the date. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, so calling early helps.
Most highland homeowners who book with us ask for the same schedule each year, and the crew keeps the notes from each visit so the next one starts from what we found last time. Every homeowner gets the same photo report, and the house leaves with a clean run. If the gutter still holds water after a cleaning, we tell you what the problem is, and we do not sell a second visit for a slope problem. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every house, and it is set up to protect your home from water damage by catching a clog early, before it reaches the fascia or the wall below.
We also clean the gutters and downspouts on commercial properties in the surrounding areas, and the crew handles residential and commercial jobs the same way. Residential properties get the crew's standard, which is to flush every downspout and send the same photo report. The goal is to keep your gutters running clear, so the water goes away from your home and not down the wall. Anything that blows in from the landscape around the eave, a twig or a handful of needles, gets cleared with the rest.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Downspout flushing and haul-away are included in that number.
Across Utah, most of our customers book the spring visit in late May to June and the fall visit in October to early November. In spring we find seeds and pollen packed into the elbows, and in the fall the wet leaf mat has to come out before the first freeze.
Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar. We confirm the date and window when you call, and the spring and fall windows fill first.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
We flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes. A guarded gutter still needs a clean surface on top of the guard, and gutter maintenance is less frequent but does not disappear. On our jobs we find leaves, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard, and the cleaning and maintenance work is what keeps the water moving.
Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain. A clean gutter that still overflows has a slope problem, and we tell you that instead of selling another cleaning.
The number we quote is the number we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
