Our own crew cleans gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris 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 book in spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall are at their worst.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are priced from the number of stories, square footage 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. Other companies price per linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but the stories and the roof pitch are what actually drive the time on a ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. 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, so the back run sits well above the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted debris and a heavy buildup, a clog that takes more hours than a clean fall load. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. The crew checks water flow at every downspout before the truck leaves, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, a townhouse in a neighborhood with heavy tree cover needed the crew to clear two runs packed with seed casings and flush three clogged downspouts that had backed up to the elbow. Its price came from the stories and the clog we found, which we explained on the phone before the crew arrived. The residential and commercial work we do follows the same rule: we say what we will do, what it costs, and what it does not include, and then we do exactly that. A homeowner gets the same rule on residential properties we clean, and on commercial properties too. Our crew keeps a photo of each run so you can see what was cleared, what came out clean, and where the drainage was blocked. A regular gutter cleaning schedule is the cheapest way to avoid a bigger bill later, because a gutter that is cleaned on time carries a light load and never builds up to the point of rot, sag or water damage. Clean your gutters on a schedule that fits your roof, and the work stays predictable.

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 book twice a year. Across Washington the spring visit is booked for mid to late June, after the seeds and pollen have dropped, and the fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves and debris have come down. When the crew opens a gutter in that spring window they find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In November and December it is the wet leaf mat, and on homes that skipped the fall visit we see sagging runs by January, one of our wettest months. Water that cannot drain sits in the trough, and that is how a blockage turns into a leak and then into structural damage.
Gutter maintenance is mostly a matter of timing. Under heavy tree cover, visits come more often than twice a year, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. The landscape around the house sets how fast a blockage forms. A house with few or no trees usually needs just one of our cleanings a year, in late fall, and a clean gutter after that visit carries less load into the next season. Gutter guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still needs clearing. In heavy rainfall, a clean roofline keeps the rainwater away from your home, and that is the whole point of the cleaning.
We do not have a fixed rule that fits every lot, so after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. The estimate for that visit comes from stories and tree cover, and the schedule comes from what we find in your gutters. A single twig can start a clog in a downspout elbow, and one clogged elbow can back up the whole gutter system. The purpose is always to protect your home from water damage and keep the gutters and downspouts doing their job in surrounding areas that get heavy rain. Keep your gutters clean and running clear, and the flush every downspout habit will save you money on repairs later.
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 gutter services run across Everett, and the crew runs the route from the nearest base, so a slot is easy to book. Everett homeowners get a quote by phone or text from the stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm your date when you call. The two busy windows are spring and fall, when our calendar fills fastest, so book early if you want a particular week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Everett homeowners who want a gutter cleaning get the same process as every other customer: a quote, a booked date, a crew on the ladder, and photos before the truck leaves. If a gutter still leaks after the cleaning, the crew reports it rather than selling a second visit. We treat cleaning and maintenance as one job, and once the crew is done the gutters are clean and the photos prove it. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every Everett gutter cleaning, and it is the gutter cleaning process we follow on each job. Text us a photo of the roofline, ask for a written estimate, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will get your gutters on the schedule.
Q: What does gutter cleaning cost for a two-story house in Everett? A: The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. We do not quote a range on the page, because the stories and the square footage are what set it.
Q: When should I clean gutters in Everett? A: Across Washington the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in November to early December. If you wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat and the first freeze can leave runs sagging, and January is one of our wettest months, so the water has nowhere to go.
Q: Do you offer same-day gutter cleaning in Everett? A: Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Same-day work is possible only when the crew has an opening that day, so for a same-day opening call (866) 435-6328 and ask.
Q: Do I need to be home? A: No. Our 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.
Q: Do you flush the downspouts and check where they drain, including underground lines? A: Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and the crew checks water flow and where it goes at the outlet, then leaves the downspout clean. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Q: If my gutters have guards, do they still need cleaning? A: Yes. Guards stop leaves, but they do not stop seed casings, needles and grit. On our jobs the surface still needs clearing, and the crew lifts the panels, checks that water is getting in and leaves the gutters clean.
Q: What happens if the gutters still overflow after you leave? A: A gutter system that is clean and still spills over the edge in heavy rainfall has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. A rain gutter that runs clean but overflows is telling you the slope is off. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Q: Will the price change once the crew is on the roof? A: Not unless the crew finds something that changes the job, and then you hear about it and agree before work starts. The invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
