Our own crew cleans gutters in North Salt Lake, every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and a photo of each run before we leave, so you can see the clean trough yourself. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we keep a steady calendar across Utah for homeowners who want their gutters clear before the seasons turn.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are priced from stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, though we quote the whole house rather than measuring run by run.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years, and guards we have to lift and reseat. Packed gutters and clogged downspouts take longer to clear, and the clog that has been building for a season costs more time than the one we catch early. Downspout flushing, a flow check and haul-off are included in the number and are never billed as extras. Our process is the same on every house: clear the trough, flush, check the drainage, bag the leaves, photograph every run. If anything changes the job once we are on site, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we see in North Salt Lake homes. A gutter that has gone a year without cleaning tends to show a sag, a run pulling away from the fascia line, and leaves and debris packed right to the outlet elbow. Water flow stops being a question once we open the rain gutter, and the blockage is almost always at the bottom where the trough meets the outlet. A blocked outlet pushes water back under the shingles and into the roofline, and that is how a simple cleaning turns into a leak repair. Left long enough, that is structural damage, with rot in the wood behind the trough, not a cosmetic problem. Our job is to get the water away from the house before the next storm does it for you.
When a gutter has gone unopened for years, the first visit is mostly looking. We clear the full run, flush each outlet, leave the trough clean, and photograph any sag before we leave, so the homeowner decides what happens next with the photos in hand. The same flush and the same photos go out on residential and commercial properties alike.
| 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 run late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop. Our customers here usually book again in late October or November, after the last leaves. On our jobs in May we find seeds, seed casings, a twig or two and pollen paste packed into the outlet elbows. Our wettest months are March, April and May, and that heavy rainfall is what overflows a gutter nobody cleaned after fall. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that sagged under ice by March. Clean gutters ahead of the freeze so that rainwater and melt have somewhere to go.
Under heavy tree cover, we see gutters clog faster, so those homes are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. With few or no trees around residential properties, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutters with guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still needs clearing, and a clean trough under the guard only stays that way if the debris build-up on top is cleared. A regular gutter cleaning schedule is the simplest gutter maintenance we know, and it keeps the job from growing into a bigger debris removal job.
We keep the calendar simple for North Salt Lake UT homes. Tell us the house, the trees, and the last time it was cleaned, and we will say which of our cleanings fits your lot. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what the crew finds in the runs and outlets rather than a guess from the curb. For gutter services that show up on schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with the next open 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 North Salt Lake gutter cleaning crew works across the surrounding areas, and we know the lots and the tree cover well enough to plan each visit. Book with us by phone or text: give us the number of stories, the approximate square footage, whether trees hang over the roof, and whether you have gutter guards. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Once we have those, the quote comes back the same way, and we set a date that works for you.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, when most homeowners want their gutters clear. Book early in those months if you can, and we will tell you the next open slot when you call. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home, so the visit fits around your day. Our cleaning and maintenance visits keep rainwater away from your home and protect your home from water damage, and our cleaning services are booked the same way. If you are ready to clean your gutters on a set schedule, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up the first visit so you can get your gutters on the calendar.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. We do not quote a figure without those details, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Flushing and haul-off are in it.
Across Utah, spring visits run late May to June. Fall visits for homes across North Salt Lake run late October into November. Wait past the fall leaves and you will find a wet leaf mat that holds water through the first freeze. Clean gutters before the freeze, because houses that skip the fall visit show the sag by March.
Same-day depends on the day and the calendar for our cleaning services in North Salt Lake, so we confirm a date when you call. Open dates change week to week, and we will tell you the first open one.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, move loose landscape items away from the ladder base, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Our gutter cleaning process is to flush every downspout and flow-test it, so a clean outlet tells us the water is moving. If a line drains underground, 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. Guards are part of the gutter system, and they keep leaves out but not needles, seed casings or grit. That buildup sits on top of the guard and blocks water from getting in, so the trough still needs a clean. We lift the panels, clear underneath, and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge during heavy rainfall usually has a slope or outlet size problem, not a clog. Send us a photo or 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. If we find something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
