Our own crew cleans gutters around here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaf load hauled off, and photos of every run on your phone before we leave. This gutter cleaning service prices from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. A homeowner usually books in spring or fall, and across Utah the late spring and late fall windows fill first.
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 price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that offer gutter cleaning services price by linear foot and land in a similar place per foot, but on a house the rest of the price still depends on how the roofline sits.
On our jobs the things that move the price are the ones the crew finds once it is up the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out heavy with muck, and a clog that has sat for a season takes longer to break loose. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on either side. Downspout flushing, flow testing and the removal of leaves and debris are included and never billed as extras. The crew checks gutters and downspouts on every visit, and if anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our work covers a mix of sandy homes. Homes with big trees over the roof tend to carry more leaves and needles than the open lots, so the price reflects that. On a recent job here we found the rear run packed to the elbow with needles and grit, clogged downspouts, and the sag from years of buildup pulling the section off its hangers. Left alone, that sag is how structural damage starts, so the crew reseats the section and flushes every downspout until the water flow runs clear. That took most of the visit, and the price reflected that load. The same crew sees residential and commercial properties the same way, per building and scheduled, and the number we give is the number we bill. Moving water away from your home depends on drainage working at every run, which is why we check each one rather than the front alone.
| 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 usually land in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and fall visits in late October to November, after the last leaves. Most customers book both spring and fall, and residential properties here follow the same schedule. Regular gutter cleaning, two cleanings a year, is the norm on lighter lots, and the spring visit finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. The fall visit finds the wet leaf mat and, on houses that skipped it, runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months keeps a rain gutter from clogging between visits, because needles and grit fill the downspout faster than the gutters can shed them. Where there are few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough.
Here is what we see in a gutter at each visit. In spring, seeds and pollen paste. In fall, the leaf load and the odd twig, and where the freeze comes early, the first ice at the eave. The wettest months here run March through May, and a blockage that starts small in spring leaves rainwater nowhere to go once heavy rainfall arrives. On our jobs a clog in the downspout is the usual cause, not the gutter itself, so we check each outlet and flush it. Good gutter maintenance costs less than the rot that follows neglect, and a gutter system that is clean and flushed drains the way it was built to.
Once we have the first visit done, we tell you how often to clean your gutters on your lot. Gutter guards, if you have them, are cleaned less often, but the surface still needs clearing to keep your gutters running. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you a written estimate for a date. If your lot has a fall visit already on the calendar, ask us to put the spring one in the same request so the schedule holds.
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 Sandy UT crew works across Sandy from the nearest base, and we cover the surrounding areas on the same schedule. The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Two windows fill faster than the rest of the year, the late spring one and the late fall one, so a request in either month should go in early. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
A homeowner usually wants the gutters clean before the next storm, and that is the aim of the schedule. A clean gutter that is also flushed keeps water away from the foundation and stops the slow leak that becomes water damage through the fascia behind it. Have the crew flush every downspout on the same visit, and you protect your home from water damage at the source. It also keeps the landscape beside the house from washing out. Call now to get your gutters cleaned before the next heavy storm. Our gutter services are the cleaning, the downspout flush and the photos, all in one visit.
For anyone comparing cleaning services in Sandy, the practical question is whether the crew shows up on time, leaves the yard clean, and sends the photos. We do all three on every job, and the photos are the record you keep. Cleaning and maintenance visits follow the same standard whether the yard is small or large, so the same rule applies to a small lot and a large one. Our crew works here the way it works every city on our list.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure off a chart, because each house has its own layout and load. Tell us the stories and the size and we will tell you the number on the call.
Across Utah, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits late October to November. On our jobs the spring visit clears seeds and pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaf mat before the freeze. Wait past fall and the sag shows up by winter.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm the date when you call, so you know when the crew is coming before you plan around it. If a same-day window opens, we will say so on the phone.
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, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested at the outlet, and the run is clean when we leave. Where a line drains underground we check that water is leaving at the end, and we tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves but not the needles, seed casings and grit that sit on top, and on our jobs those build up and block the run. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards, and that is priced as a guarded system.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall, it is a slope or downspout problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. 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 work starts, not after the ladder comes down.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
