Our own crew cleans gutters in Lynnwood, flushes every downspout and flow-tests the runs until they run clean, then hauls it all away. Photos of every run arrive on your phone before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been on these roofs at both visits long enough to know what each one brings down. Booking a visit is the simplest way to protect your home.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate on our gutter cleaning services, or send a text; we price from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the run count is added up.
Four things move the price when our crew walks up. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk puts the work on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted material that takes longer to clear. 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 before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs the price usually follows the same pattern. One recent two-story house had a clog at the corner elbow that had been sending water down the wall for two seasons, and the crew found the drainage problem before the gutter itself was the issue. We flushed it, confirmed the water flow ran clean to the outlet and carried water away from the house, and priced the job from there. Clogged downspouts that feed buried lines get checked at the outlet, and we tell you what we see. The Lynnwood homes in the older blocks tend to carry more leaves and grit in the runs than the newer subdivisions, so we plan the visit around that. A sag or rot spot we find gets photographed and put in the report, and we flag any structural damage we see without selling the fix. Send a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy, and we can usually tell you from the photo whether the job is one visit or two.

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 here book twice a year: in late spring after the seed and pollen drop is finished, and again in late fall after the last leaves have come down. In spring we open the downspout elbows and find seed casings and pollen paste packed in. In fall it is the wet leaf mat and the rainwater it holds, which makes a blockage at every bend, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose once the winter ice sets in. Freezes make the fall visit the one that matters most here, because trapped water at the eave becomes an ice dam before the first hard cold.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Homes near a busy road or active construction also tend toward the shorter schedule, since dust and grit settle in the runs faster. Guards slow the buildup, but a single clog at a bend can still back water over the edge in a storm, so you still need to clean your gutters on the same rhythm, with cleaning and maintenance booked ahead of the wet season.
On one Lynnwood house with no trees near the roofline, the owner stayed on a once-a-year schedule and the runs stayed clean. Another under tall trees needed a visit every three to four months, and what we found each time was a twig and needle buildup at the bends. Both are on our site with their photos. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs for gutter maintenance.
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 Lynnwood WA and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and homeowners can book our gutter services by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Give us the stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so booking early in those months keeps the slot. Residential and commercial jobs both start with the same call, so residential properties and commercial properties get the same estimate.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. If you book with us, you will get a call the day before and a text when the crew is on the way. The runs come out clean, and the photos show it. A homeowner who keeps up regular gutter cleaning avoids the leak that builds when a run stays full through a wet season, and that protects the home from water damage. It is the reason we ask how often you keep your gutters cleaned when you call.
The number comes from the stories, the size and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range; the figure you hear is the figure on the invoice.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall. If the fall visit slips, the wet leaf mat and the first freezes come through before the runs are clear, and that is when we see sags once the winter ice sets in.
Most slots open within the week for cleaning services in Lynnwood, and we confirm the day when you call. Busy seasons fill faster, so get your gutters booked early.
No. Our gutter cleaning process happens outside only: the crew 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, we flush every downspout so water runs away from your home, and we watch it until it runs clean at the outlet, checking the whole gutter system as we go. If a line drains underground, we check the outlet and tell you what we see; clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before touching it.
On our jobs guarded gutters still collect needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guard, and the wet mat can run water over the edge during heavy rainfall. We lift the panels, clear the surface and check that water is getting in.
A clean run that still sheets water over the edge is a slope or downspout-size problem, not debris. 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.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and then you hear it and agree before work starts, never on the invoice. Flushing and haul-off are already in the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
