Our own crew cleans your gutters, flushes every downspout, flow-tests it and hauls the leaves away before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Utah, most of our customers book a visit in late May or June and again in November, after the seed drop and the last leaves.
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 sitting in the gutters. Residential properties are quoted on those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and a rough square footage and you get an estimate before anyone is booked. Some companies that offer gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place, but the per-foot number hides the things that actually change the job on a real house. Residential and commercial buildings are scoped differently, and this page covers houses only.
What moves the quote on our jobs: a third story or a pitch too steep to walk, a walk-out basement where the back run is hard to reach from the ground, gutters nobody has opened in years, and guards we have to lift and reseat. A run that looks clean from the ground can still be packed at the corner. When a gutter is packed, the crew finds the first clog there and the rest of the run is worse than it looked from the ground. Downspout flushing, flow testing, and debris removal come with every quote and are not add-ons. If anything changes the job once the crew is up top, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
On our Washington homes the quote is usually the simplest part of the day. Homeowners usually ask about price first, and the crew can answer that before any gutter is opened. A gutter that has been left a long time comes down heavier than the customer expected, and the crew tells them what they are looking at before the first bag leaves the roof. Every run gets checked for sag, buildup and drainage, and every downspout gets a water flow test, so the photos you receive show each run clean and draining. Whether you clean your gutters yourself or book a crew, the quote should tell you what the job includes. Every homeowner gets the same number on the phone and on the invoice.
| 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 in Washington UT book for spring and fall, which is the rhythm most lots need. Across Utah, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs November to early December, after the last leaves. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and when we open one in November we find a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia until the next storm. Under heavy tree cover we see clog build-up sooner, so those customers book on a shorter schedule, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule is what keeps each downspout open. A run left clean in spring can be packed again by late summer. Few or no trees, and a late-fall visit is enough for most lots.
January, February and August are the wettest months, and heavy rainfall finds out fast whether a gutter drains. Across Utah, a monsoon can put down in an hour on a gutter that has been dry for weeks, and the rainwater has nowhere to go. Our crew checks the roofline and the blockage points on every visit, so the leaves are cleared before they turn into a leak, a sag or a fascia that has started to rot. On every visit we flush every downspout and check the outlet. A rain gutter full of seed mat holds water against the house, and that is how a clog ends up costing you. Clearing gutters and downspouts before the rain, not after, is the whole point, and it is how you protect your home from water damage. Once the gutters are clean, a quick look after each storm tells you whether they still drain. Guards slow the buildup, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters are on a longer interval with the surface cleared each time.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing on the same report as the photos. Our gutter services are scheduled from that report, and we would rather you keep your gutters clean on a schedule that fits the house than pay for a visit the house does not need. Give us the stories and a rough square footage and you get an estimate by phone before the calendar is set.
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.
The crew covers the full service area and books a slot by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. There is no truck roll before that phone call. Washington gutter cleaning starts with the stories and the size of the house. To quote, we need the number of stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the house; a photo of the front of the house by text makes the quote faster. Lead times depend on the season, and the two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills first. A homeowner who books early gets the slot they want. Homes in the surrounding areas are booked the same way. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
On a first visit we walk the full gutter system, check every downspout for a twig or seed casing jammed in the elbow, and note any hanger, seam or sag we see, plus any gutter guards and how they sit, so the report covers the whole house and not just the run that faces the street. A clean baseline from that first walk makes every later visit faster, and gutter maintenance on a schedule keeps each one short. Our gutter services are set from that walk-through, and our cleanings are priced by stories and size. Move water away from your home before a storm finds the low spot. If the job is a cleaning and maintenance check, that is what we do and what we quote. Booking a date is the step that starts the gutter cleaning process, and the confirmation text tells you the crew window and what to have ready. A homeowner gets the same report whether they are home or not. Use the same call to get your gutters on a schedule that fits the house.
The number comes from stories and size, and our cleaning services in Washington are quoted that way on every house, by phone or text before we book. It is the number we charge on the invoice. Commercial properties are outside this page, so ask about those separately.
Across Utah, customers book late May to June after the spring seed drop, and November to early December after the last leaves. If you wait past that, the wet leaf mat and any ice that forms at the eave will have done the damage we are trying to prevent, including fascia rot behind the gutter.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and it 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 as part of the whole gutter system, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clogged downspouts get flushed until they run clean at the bottom, and where a downspout runs across a landscape bed we check that the outlet is not pooling. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guards keep out most leaves and debris, but not needles, seed casings or grit, and the mat they form on top stops the water. On our jobs we lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them, so the gutter is clean below the guard too.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a clog. Left alone, that water causes structural damage at the eave, so the goal is to get water away from the fascia and foundation. Send us a photo or short video of the rain gutter overflowing and we will tell you what it is; we will not sell you a second cleaning for it.
Only if the job changes, and then you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts. The quote on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
