Our own crew cleans gutters in Taylorsville, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves bagged and hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Utah, most of our customers book in spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves have finished.
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 size and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up, gutters nobody has opened in years, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are already in the number, never billed as extras. If something changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts, not on the invoice.
On a rain gutter that has gone years without a visit, the buildup is packed tight: compacted leaves, grit and seed paste sitting in the trough, with a clog at every elbow. Where the water flow has stopped, we clear it by hand until the run is clean, so it carries water away from the house the way it should. Taylorsville homes vary a lot in roof pitch and gutter age, so we look at the actual run before we settle on a number. Residential and commercial jobs are priced per building on the same basis, and commercial properties get a walk of the site first.
Our first step on any run is debris removal: leaves and debris come out of the trough, and we check the slope, because a sag left alone is how structural damage starts and water ends up running down the fascia. Most overflow problems we are called for turn out to be a clog in a single downspout, and clearing it changes how the whole gutter behaves. Clogged downspouts are the first thing we check on every job.
Here is what we have seen on recent work in town. On one two-story house with moderate tree cover, the back run had sagged enough that water was dropping behind the gutter. The crew cleared the trough, flushed each downspout and reset the hangers that had pulled loose. The customer saw a clean run the first time it rained. We leave prices out of a story like this; the job itself is what matters here. This home's number was set by stories, size and what we found.
| 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.
Most of our customers book our gutter cleaning service twice a year, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Utah, spring visits run late May to June, and when we open a gutter in that window we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that have sagged under the first ice by March.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring it is seeds and pollen. In fall it is the leaf load, and once the first freeze comes, rainwater backs up behind the trough and forms ice dams at the eave, along with runs that have sagged or pulled loose. Winter ice and snow here run from January through April and again in November and December, so the fall visit is the one that keeps water moving through the cold months.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the downspout between visits. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the run clean and keeps a small clog from turning into a blockage in the elbow. A gutter near a busy road or construction tends to need the same, and heavy rainfall shows the problem fast. Houses with few or no trees usually only need a single cleaning, in late fall. Guards mean less frequent cleanings, but the surface still needs clearing.
Here is a pair from our recent work. One customer with no trees over the roof is on a once-a-year schedule and gets a clean gutter every fall. Another with heavy cover is on every three to four months, and the difference shows up in what we pull out of each downspout. Each job is recorded by neighborhood, and each record links back to the full job notes.
Our crew can give you a clear read on your gutters at the first visit, including which tier your lot actually needs. If you want to clean your gutters before the next storm, call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what schedule fits.
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.

Our Taylorsville gutter cleaning crew serves residential properties across Taylorsville, UT. Our gutter cleaning process starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, based on stories, size and tree cover. A photo of the front of the house helps us see the roofline and the landscape beds along the foundation, and it takes a minute to send. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call.
Our calendar fills with cleanings in the two busy windows of the year: late spring, when seed and pollen drop, and late fall, after the leaves come down. Homeowners who want a set date should book early in those windows. We call before we come, and no homeowner needs to be home for the visit.
Keep your gutters and downspouts clear and the rest of the house will thank you. A clean run can protect your home from water damage, and it keeps the trough from carrying a leak back toward the fascia. Done right, it moves rainwater away from your home. For surrounding areas, the same crew can flush every downspout and check drainage on the way out.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a range without seeing the house. Once the number is set, that is what you pay for cleaning services in Taylorsville.
Across Utah, spring visits run late May to June, and our customers here usually book the fall visit in November or early December. Wait past the first hard freeze and the ice dams are already working on the eaves.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week, so to get your gutters cleaned fast, book early. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. 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 in while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check where it drains. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we give you a price for it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out the leaves, but needles, seeds and grit still settle on top and clog the run underneath, so gutter maintenance is still needed. On our jobs we lift the panels, clear beneath them, check the flow before we reseat, and leave the trough clean.
If a gutter runs clean and still spills during heavy rainfall, it is a slope or downspout size problem, not debris. Send us 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, and a sagging run left alone can lead to rot and structural damage.
It should not. The quote covers the gutter services and the cleaning and maintenance of the whole gutter system. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
