Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Bonney Lake, every pipe flushed and flow-tested, everything 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers here book twice a year, and we are the crew you will see on 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. 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 gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and the state of the gutters matter more than the footage alone.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has cleaned in years come down packed with compacted muck, which is slower to clean and can already be causing structural damage at the fascia. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job here the quote moved because the back run sat well above a walk-out basement, the gutters held a heavy clog of leaves and debris, with bits of twig from the trees over the roof, and the clogged downspouts had to be cleared by hand before the water flow ran clean and carried water away from the foundation. That is the kind of detail we check on the phone so the number holds on the day. Most of our Bonney Lake homes with heavy tree cover have this kind of buildup, and we say so in the quote rather than surprising you later. If you are unsure what your rain gutter looks like, text us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we see.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $225 | from $295 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $260 | from $335 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $235 | from $305 | from $395 |
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 homeowners here book twice a year, in spring and fall, and the calendar for Bonney Lake WA homes is built around the fall visit in late October to November, after the last leaves. Across Washington, the spring visit falls in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop. When we open a gutter in spring, we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, which holds rainwater against the fascia, and in a freeze-belt climate the ice dams at the eave that sag or pull runs loose by January on houses that skipped the fall visit.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months keeps the gutter clear, because needles and grit pack the drain pipes between visits and a blockage builds faster than the seasons suggest. Clean your gutters more often if shrubs and landscape beds sit under the eave. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Gutter guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs clearing, and the crew checks what has collected on top. Our gutter cleaning service tells you which tier your lot actually needs after the first visit, so you are not guessing at the schedule.
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.
Every homeowner who calls gets the crew from the nearest base, and Bonney Lake gutter cleaning reaches residential properties across the whole city, not only the streets near the highway. We take residential and commercial work on the same terms, and commercial properties are quoted from the stories, the footage and the buildup, just like a house. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your gutters on the schedule, and we give you a quote from the stories, the size and the tree cover. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Most houses here settle into two cleanings a year, and the calendar fills in two windows, so the sooner you ask for a date the more options you have. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the exact day when you call. Keep your gutters working through the rainy months, and you protect your home from water damage before a leak reaches the fascia or the foundation. Before the crew leaves, every run is left clean and we flush every downspout, and we can talk through what your gutter system needs when we visit. We also serve surrounding areas, and the crew can talk through what your gutter services need on any visit.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. Our cleaning services in Bonney Lake are quoted before anyone climbs a ladder: call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo for an estimate, and the number we give is the number on the invoice.
Book the fall visit in late October to November, after the last leaves. If the gutters wait past the first hard freeze, the buildup can sag the runs and let the fascia rot before spring. Ask for a date when you call and we will confirm the slot.
Same-day visits across Bonney Lake depend on the week and the crew schedule. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. The gutter cleaning process is exterior only: the crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every drain pipe is flushed and watched until the water runs clean at the bottom. We check that water leaves at the outlet and runs away from your home. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. Guards still need cleaning and maintenance. On our jobs the guards stop the leaves but not the needles, seed casings or grit, which sit on top and turn into a mat. The crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and reseats them as part of the gutter maintenance visit.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge after heavy rainfall has a slope or pipe-size problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
