Our own crew cleans gutters for Ogden homeowners, and every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested before we leave. Everything that comes out is hauled away, and you get photos of every run on your phone. 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 you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Utah, most of our customers book a visit in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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. Commercial properties are priced the same way, from stories and square footage. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but the per-foot math hides what the crew actually finds on the roof.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more care on the ladder. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with a heavy buildup of leaves and debris, and a clean on those takes longer. Guards we have to lift and reseat add their own time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Among Ogden homes, the ones we clean most often are older houses with mature trees, where seeds and leaves pack the elbows faster than the gutter itself fills. Picture a two-story house under heavy tree cover. The downspout clogs solid at the elbow, so the crew flushes it until the water runs clear at the bottom, and the quote covers the downspout as well as the trough. Clogged downspouts cause more trouble than a full gutter, because the rainwater has nowhere to go and it finds its way behind the fascia, where it can cause structural damage. A run with a sag in it, or a seam that has begun to leak, is worth a photo, and we report it, we don't sell it. Good drainage keeps water away from your home and off the foundation, which is the reason the crew works the way it does, and the photos show exactly what we found.

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 lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. For most Ogden houses that means two visits a year, and that is the answer for most lots. When we open a gutter here in spring we find the seeds, seed casings, pollen paste and the odd twig packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and the first freeze turns rainwater stuck in the trough into ice dams at the eave on any house that skipped the visit. A rain gutter that starts to sag or pulls loose by March is almost always a house that went through a winter with a full gutter.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a three to four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most residential properties. Guards reduce how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs a clean, and we check it on the same visit. The gutter itself is only part of the story; the roofline, the clog points and the blockage at the downspout outlet decide how fast the next visit has to come.
Each year we run the same estimate on every lot. Ask for an estimate by phone or text and we will tell you which schedule your house needs, and how to get your gutters on it. Our crew handles debris removal in the same visit, so you are not paying for a second trip. For regular gutter cleaning services on a set schedule, book a date on the calendar and we will hold the slot. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we can set up the rest of the year from there.
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 covers Ogden UT and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we work the streets and older neighborhoods on the same route each season. Booking is simple: give us the stories, the size and whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy. The call comes before the crew does, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Spring visits run late May to June and fall visits late October to November, so book early if you want a particular week. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
The gutter cleaning process is the same on every job. Our cleanings cover gutters and downspouts the same way on every route: we flush every downspout, check the drain, and clear any clog at the outlet, then photograph every run, so you know the gutter is clean before you forget about it. Residential and commercial jobs get the same flush and photo report. Every homeowner gets that report on their phone. A clear gutter helps protect your home from water damage, and it keeps the water flowing away from the foundation and off the landscape in heavy rainfall. If you have questions about the visit, call or text and we will answer them. Keep your gutters clear between visits by watching for overflow in rain, and we will do the rest on schedule. Our gutter services are built around that schedule.
Our cleaning services in Ogden are quoted from stories and size, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house. Once we have the stories and square footage, the number is the one we charge.
Most customers book a spring visit, late May to June, and a fall visit in late October to November. If you wait past the first hard freeze, we find ice dams at the eave, a sag in the run and fascia rot by March. Clean your gutters before the freeze and the gutter maintenance stays routine.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day depends on our route that day, so ask when you book.
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, we flush every downspout and check the outlet. If a line runs underground and water is not leaving at the outlet, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out, but seed casings, fine grit and needles sit on top and mat when wet. On our jobs we clear the surface, flush the downspout and reseat the guards on the same visit.
If the gutter system is clean and still overflows in rain, it has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear it and agree before work begins. Our cleaning and maintenance visit is quoted once, and we do not raise the number on the invoice after the crew is up the ladder.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
