Our own crew runs our gutter cleaning services in New Baltimore. We flush every downspout and flow-test it before we leave, so the gutters and downspouts are clean and running. 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 the invoice. Most homeowners in town book spring and fall, and every run is photographed before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we will give you a firm quote before we set the ladder.
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. The New Baltimore homes we quote vary a lot, so the number starts with the house in front of us. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is added up, but we would rather you see one clean number that already includes the work. Homeowners here get that number before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually the same handful of things. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more care. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks. Gutters nobody has opened in years hold a buildup of packed grit and leaves, a clog that takes real time to break loose, and guards we have to lift and reseat add their own minutes. Clean runs take less time than a full trough, since the leaves and debris are already gone. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. A sagging run or a small leak at a joint is flagged on the spot, because poor water flow can lead to structural damage. Commercial properties are quoted the same way, once we see the building. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs in town the quote usually moves on whether the gutters have been cleaned recently and how much leaves and grit sit in the trough. A house on a quiet street with a clean rain gutter may be a short visit, while one with heavy leaves and clogged downspouts may take the full time. A rain gutter that holds water points to a drainage path that needs a look, and that gets written up with the photos. We photograph what we find, so the reason for the number is on your phone. The point of the visit is to get water away from the roofline, not just to empty the trough.
| 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 New Baltimore VA book twice a year, in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Virginia we see the same spring and fall pattern, but the calendar here follows the rain. Across Virginia, spring visits tend to land in mid to late May. Our fall visits usually land in late October to November. Spring visits come after the seed casings and pollen paste have loaded the outlet elbows, and fall visits come after the wet leaf mat has settled into the trough.
On our jobs, a fall visit is when we look most closely at the roofline and the rainwater path. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have found runs that sag by March, and where the wet leaves froze the gutter often pulls loose at the hangers. Freezing is not the only risk in a wet season. Roughly 19.8 inches of snow falls in a typical year here, mostly December through March, and the melt runs straight into a clogged trough. Every rain pushes more material toward the lowest outlet, and a blockage that starts small becomes a full overflow after a few storms. Heavy rainfall in May, July and September is when we see the worst of it. A trough kept clean before those months has room for the storm.
Most houses do well with the twice-a-year schedule. If you would rather clean your gutters on a different plan, tell us what the house sits under. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months keeps needles and grit from packing the outlets between visits. Where there are few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Think of the gutter system as one piece, since a clean trough does little if the outlet below it has a blockage. A homeowner with a landscape bed right under the eaves should expect more leaves and grit in the trough, and we note it. Gutter guards still need checking, less often, with the surface cleared. Regular gutter cleaning is part of gutter maintenance, not a one-time fix. We run residential and commercial jobs on the same schedule logic, and the estimate is given on the call. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we keep that note on the job record so the next visit starts from what we found. Keeping the outlets clear sends water away from your home, which is the whole point of the visit.
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 New Baltimore from the nearest base and works the surrounding areas on the same routes. Across town, the gutter cleaning process is the same on every street: a quote, a window, a visit, then photos. Booking for New Baltimore gutter cleaning starts with a phone or text quote built from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Lead time depends on the week, so we give you a window when you call.
The busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when most customers want the house clear at the same time. Every homeowner who books early in those months is more likely to get the day they want. We protect your home from water damage by keeping the calendar honest, so the slot we give you is the slot we keep, and we do not overbook a route to squeeze in a neighbor. Residential and commercial requests come through the same phone line, and we say on the call whether the building fits our routes. Commercial properties are quoted by phone once we know what the building is. We want the calendar clean, the photos on time and the ground left as we found it.
If you are not sure whether the house needs a visit now or in a few months, tell us what you see and we will say what we think. A twig in the trough, a leak at a joint or a few cleanings missed in a row can all show up the same way, as water over the edge. Our gutter services cover cleaning and maintenance, and the crew tells you on the call which one your house needs. Gutter guards need checking too, so mention them when you book. The aim is to keep your gutters working through the season, not to sell an extra visit you do not need. To get your gutters booked, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details. Once we have them, the number we give is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book late spring and late fall. Waiting past the fall leaf drop is where we see the most trouble, because wet leaves freeze in the trough and rot can start in the fascia before March. Our fall visits usually land in late October to November.
Across New Baltimore, same-day depends on the week. Our cleaning services run on the same quote and the same photos whichever day you pick, and we confirm the exact date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Residential properties get the same photos, so a homeowner can see the work without being there. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet is flushed and flow-tested, and we check where the water exits so the drain path stays clear. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves but not seeds, needles or grit, and that material can mat on top and push water over the edge. We clear the surface, check that water is still getting in, and leave the gutters clean.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows usually has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning. Water should run away from your home, and we will say which part is not doing that.
The gutter cleaning service you book on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
