Our own crew can clear the gutters on your house, flushing every downspout and flow-testing it, hauling the leftover mess away, and sending 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 hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been doing this for years.
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 square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Every homeowner gets quoted the same way. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the stories and the buildup matter more than the length of the run.
On our jobs, a few things move the price more than anything else. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with a twig jammed in the trough, grit, and a clog packed solid, and they take longer to clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing 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.
Our Cheney gutter cleaning experience is the same story repeated on different houses. Where the buildup is heavy and a downspout is sitting full of wet muck, the crew spends more time at the outlets, and the price reflects that before we ever climb up. On Cheney homes we check the drainage and the water flow at every downspout, look for any sag in the runs, and photograph what we find. Regular gutter cleaning keeps that work small, so a house you keep clean between visits usually costs less on its second visit than its first.
We also clean residential and commercial buildings in the same way, one crew, one standard, and the quote for a home is built the same way as one for a storefront. Residential properties and commercial properties get the same crew and the same photos. If you plan to clean your gutters twice a year, tell us when you call and we will quote both visits together. Ask for a written estimate if you want the numbers in writing before you book.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

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 customers book twice a year, once after the seed and pollen drop in spring and once after the last leaves come down in fall. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and where freezes come early, the first ice and the ice dams that form at the eave. Runs that skipped the fall visit tend to sag or pull loose by March, and a clean before the first freeze is the cheapest way to avoid that.
Under heavy tree cover, the cleanings run every three to four months, which is the schedule that keeps gutters clear, because needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits. Near a busy road, in the surrounding areas, or beside a construction site, the same tighter schedule applies. Few or no trees overhead, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutters with guards need less frequent cleaning, but you still want the top kept clean so the wet mat does not turn to paste.
A blockage that sits through a rainy season does not stay a small problem. Rainwater backs up behind the gutter, clogged downspouts stop draining at the outlet, and the eave starts to take on water it should be shedding, which is how a leak starts. If you keep your gutters clear through the wet months, you protect your home from water damage, and it costs far less than the repair that follows. On each visit our crew will flush every downspout to keep the water away from your home.
Gutter services are scheduled around these months. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate for the following visits reflects what we found. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the spring or fall date, or text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which schedule fits the house.
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 works from the nearest base, and we book the work by phone or text, with the landscape around the house checked before the ladders go up. Before we give you a figure, 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 is helpful if it is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328 with those details and we will quote it on the phone. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If the house has gutter guards, they are lifted and reseated on the same visit.
Booking fills up in two busy windows each year, late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the leaf drop arrive. Book early in those months, and call as soon as you see the first buildup so the crew can clean the runs before the rain. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every house: the crew clears the roofline first, then the runs, then flushes each downspout, and sends photos of the gutters and downspouts before the truck leaves. That is the whole gutter maintenance visit, and it is the same visit on every house, with any extras quoted before we start.
Heavy rainfall is the reason many Cheney homeowners call us in a hurry, and that is the time our calendar is fullest. If you can book ahead of the storm season, you can get your gutters done before the rain arrives. We handle the cleaning and maintenance, and any other problem we see on the roof is photographed and reported to you, not sold to you.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we quote it over the phone or by text. We do not give a figure for cleaning services in Cheney without those details, because a two-story house with a steep pitch and a house with a low pitch are not the same job. Once we have the three things, the number we quote is the number we charge.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the leaves come down. Freezing weather is a real risk across Cheney, so a fall visit before the first ice is the one we push hardest. Waiting until winter means ice dams and runs that have pulled loose by March.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. A same-day clean depends on the calendar that day, so ask when you book and we will tell you what is open.
No, you do not need to be home. The 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 with water and watched until it runs clean at the outlet. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks that water is leaving the line and tells you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs cleaning, less often than an open one. On our jobs we find seed casings and pollen sitting on top of the guards and wet grit working its way underneath. The surface gets a clean of leaves and debris, the downspout gets flushed, and the guards are reseated.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually the slope or the downspout size, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem, because a slope left alone can turn into structural damage and rot at the fascia.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised with you and agreed before work starts. The number 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.
