Our own crew cleans gutters in Edgewood, flushing every downspout, testing the flow, hauling the debris away and sending photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your 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. Across Washington, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the same schedule so the work is familiar when we come back, and the runs stay clean in between.
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, how big it is and what is sitting 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. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but we would rather you hear one clean number from a person than do the arithmetic yourself.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well above grade, gutters that nobody has opened in years and are packed with compacted leaf mats, and guards we have to lift and reseat before anything else can happen. The crew flushes the gutters and downspouts and checks the drainage at each outlet, and haul-away is included and never billed as an extra. If the job turns out to need more than a clean, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Edgewood jobs the quotes that run higher are usually the ones with heavy tree cover, where the leaf mat and the twig load build up fast and the crew spends more time getting each run clean by hand. Anyone looking for cleaning services in Edgewood should know that regular gutter maintenance keeps the load light, and a light load usually means a shorter visit. We name the neighborhood, the stories and the tree cover when we talk to you, so the quote reflects your lot and not a generic house. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we can usually tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder.
Every homeowner in Edgewood who calls us asks the same thing first: how do I keep this from becoming a repair bill later? The honest answer is regular cleaning, which keeps water away from your home and catches a problem while it is still small. A clog left alone turns into a leak at the seam, then a sagging run and, eventually, structural damage to the fascia, and that is a bigger bill than a visit. Our crew handles the clearing, the flushing and the photo report as part of regular cleaning and maintenance, and anything we see that needs more than cleaning gets written up for you rather than sold on the spot. We walk you through the gutter cleaning process on the phone before anything is booked. Between visits, a clean run is the first defense against a sagging one.

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 Edgewood book two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in late spring we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows, and a buildup of pollen turned to paste across the gutter system. In late fall it is a wet mat of leaves and debris that has been sitting since November, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that have started to sag under the weight of it by winter. A run we left clean in late spring is full again by late fall.
On our jobs, a house with heavy tree cover over the roofline is better served every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits and the water flow slows without anyone noticing. A house with few or no trees usually does fine with one visit a year in late fall. Houses near a busy road, an active construction site or a heavy-planted landscape land somewhere in between, because the grit alone clogs the rain gutter faster than leaves do. Here the wettest months are January, November and December, and heavy rainfall in those months pushes rainwater over the edge of any run that is already full.
When a customer has us come back, we look for the same things each time, which is how we know whether the schedule is right. A clog that was cleared last visit and has built back up, fascia boards that are starting to show stains, and runs that have started to pull away from the house are all signs that the interval is too long for that lot. How often to clean your gutters depends on the lot, so we write these down and the next visit starts from the last one, not from zero.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we will adjust it if the first season shows something different from what we expected. Our gutter cleaning services follow the same schedule each time, so the crew knows the lot before it arrives, and the goal is simple: keep your gutters running clean and draining. Anything that shows up between visits, we flag rather than hide.
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 across Edgewood WA from the nearest base, and we have cleaned gutters on houses in most of the neighborhoods where people call us from. Booking is simple: give us your stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees overhang the eaves, and we quote it on the phone or by text. If it is easy, a photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the stories before we send a crew.
Lead time depends on the season and on how many slots are open that week. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fast on Edgewood homes and on the surrounding areas we serve, and a slot goes first to the people who booked early. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule before those weeks, call early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work.
Residential and commercial work runs on the same schedule logic, but the scope is different. For residential properties we handle the house, the gutters and the photo report, with debris removal included, and every run is left clean. We also take on commercial properties, so if your building is not a house, tell us when you call and we will plan the route properly.
Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date for any of our gutter services, or text a photo of the house front and we will reply with a window. The runs come back clean.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters, so we quote it by phone or text rather than from a chart. Tell us the stories and the rough square footage and we will give you the number we will charge. Flushing and haul-off are in that number.
Most of our Edgewood customers book in late spring and late fall, which is when the seeds and pollen come down and when the leaves finish. The fall visit usually lands in November to early December, and if you wait past it we usually find sagging runs by winter. Houses under heavy trees need a visit every three to four months.
Same-day depends on what is open that week, so we confirm a date when you call. Most slots come up within the week during the quiet months, and the busy windows fill faster. If you want to keep your gutters on a steady schedule, ask for a standing date. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we have.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see every run left clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, each one is flushed and flow-tested, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a downspout drains into an underground line and a blockage sits out of reach from above, we tell you and quote that work separately. Nothing gets added to the invoice without you hearing about it first.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guards, and once that mat is wet the water runs over the front edge. We clear the surface, flush the runs and check that water is still getting in. The visit is usually shorter than cleaning an open gutter, but it is still needed to keep the runs clean.
If a gutter is clean and still overflows in the rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or outlet size rather than debris. Send us a photo or a short video taken during the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem. Getting that diagnosis right is how you protect your home from water damage.
It should not. The quote we give you is the number we charge, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you and agree on the change before we continue. Nothing is added to the invoice without that conversation first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
