Our own crew cleans gutters in Orem, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris 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 customers book a visit each spring and fall, and we keep the calendar open for both.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Orem gutter cleaning is quoted from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way. 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, but on our jobs the height and the packing matter more than the length.
What moves a quote on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up in the air, gutters nobody has opened in years where the leaves have compacted into a mat, and guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If the gutter system shows structural damage, a sag, a loose hanger or fascia rot, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Utah the gutter that comes back to us most often is one that has a clog in the elbow where the downspout bends, not one that is full all the way along. Clogged downspouts, usually at the elbow, let water back up the run and spill over the front edge, and that is where the drainage problem starts. Our crew opens the gutters and downspouts, and we flush each one until water runs clear at the bottom, so every run leaves clean and the water flow runs freely to the outlet. Where water sits behind a sag or a buildup of grit, we say so in the photo report. Residential and commercial properties follow the same method, but the scope differs by building, so we quote each one on its own. For residential properties the crew arrives with the boom or scissor lift only when the roofline is too high for a ladder to reach safely.
Some of the homes we clean in Orem homes have the same pattern: the front run looks clean from the driveway and the back run is packed. The regular gutter cleaning schedule covers both, which is why we clean the whole run and not only the stretch you can see. Ask for a written estimate with the photos and we send both to your phone. If you want us to clean your gutters before the storms, say so when you book.

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 our Orem UT jobs most customers book twice a year, once in late May or June, after the seed and pollen drop has finished, and once in late October or November, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter here in May we usually find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows, even when it looked clean from the ground. In November it is the wet leaves and debris that have settled in the gutter system, forming a blockage in the path where rainwater should run. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the weight of ice and wet twig by March, which is why the fall visit is the one most people keep.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a clog can form in a single week of heavy rainfall. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Gutters with guards still need the top kept clean, usually less often than open gutters but not never. A lot near a busy road or a construction site gets the shorter schedule too, since the grit it picks up is fine enough to slow the flow, and the shorter schedule helps protect your home from water damage.
Before the first visit we look at the roofline, the pitch and how the water leaves the house, and we tell you which of these schedules your lot actually needs. Most lots fall into the twice-a-year group, and the photo report after each visit shows the condition so you can see whether the schedule is right. Booking both visits is the simplest way to keep your gutters clean between storms. We keep a clean record of the visits so the next one starts from the last one.
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 Orem and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and the calendar is open to all of Orem UT. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to book a date, and include the stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof. The typical lead time is shown when you call, and we call before we come, so nobody has to be home. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows each year, which are late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months keeps the date you want.
Once the date is set we confirm the arrival window the day before and again when the crew is on the way. Clean gutters in Orem protect the fascia, the soffit, the foundation and the landscape beds below from water that would otherwise run behind the run. Regular gutter maintenance, which includes checking gutter guards at each visit, keeps water moving away from the house, and the spring and fall cleanings are the simplest way to catch a leak at a seam before water damage starts quietly in the wall. To get your gutters on a schedule that lasts, book the next visit before the crew leaves. A homeowner who books that way keeps the gutter cleaning process short, because the crew already has the photos and the record from the last visit. For Orem homeowners on the regular schedule, that keeps the cleaning and maintenance on track without a reminder.
We quote a two-story house across Orem from the stories and size, and we give a clean quote by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we quote it before the crew is scheduled.
Most of our customers here book late May or June and late October or November. If the fall visit waits until after the first hard freeze, the wet leaf mat can already be frozen onto the gutter system, and that is harder to clear.
We confirm the earliest date for our cleaning services in Orem when you call. Most slots come up within the week during the quiet months, and our gutter services fill fastest in late spring and late fall.
No. The 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, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and move anything fragile off the landscape beds below the eaves.
Yes. We flush every downspout and flow-test it at the outlet, and that is part of the gutter cleaning process. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep whole leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard and pack the downspouts underneath. Our crew clears the surface, flushes each downspout and reseats the guard, which keeps the water going in.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video taken in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
Not without your approval. If the crew finds structural damage or anything else that changes the job, we stop, photograph it and tell you before anything else is done.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
