Our own crew cleans gutters, flushing every run and flow-testing it before we leave, hauling the mess away, and sending you photos of each section. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we are busiest.
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 sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we quote it from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge, and the quote is clean and simple. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though that method misses what is actually in the trough.
What moves the quote on our jobs is almost always the same few things. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means a boom or scissor lift and more time up high. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. One gutter that nobody has opened in years holds compacted muck, and clogged downspouts add time before the crew can carry water away from the house. A sag in one run means water pools there, and that costs time as well. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. A clean trough is only half the job, since water still needs a path out. If anything changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Port Angeles homes, one of the bigger quotes came from a two-story house under heavy tree cover where the rain gutter was packed with leaves, twig pieces and needles and the outlets were partly blocked, so the crew spent extra time flushing and clearing each run until it was clean. Quotes for commercial properties follow the same three factors, and residential properties get the same photos at the end. That is the kind of job where a quick estimate makes the difference, so call (866) 435-6328 and send a photo of the front of the house. Tell us about the trees, and we will tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder. Left alone, a packed trough can lead to structural damage, and a leak at the seam is usually the first sign, so we would rather catch it early.
| 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.
Across Washington, spring visits usually land in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop. For Port Angeles WA homes, the fall visit comes in late November to December, after the last leaves are down. In spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows, so a clean start in June matters. In fall we find the wet leaf mat, and on the houses that skipped the fall visit, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next winter. Heavy tree cover means more frequent visits, because needles and grit pack the outlets and start a clog between them. For residential and commercial buildings with few or no trees, one visit a year in late fall is enough to clean your gutters properly. Regular gutter cleaning is the simplest gutter maintenance there is, and it keeps rainwater moving through the whole gutter system. Keep the trough clean between visits, and the outlets stay open. A full rain gutter, or a blockage in the outlet, is usually the first place the trouble shows. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we confirm your spring or fall slot. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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.
We cover the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we keep your gutters working through the wettest months, which is when a clog does the most damage in heavy rainfall. Port Angeles gutter cleaning is our main job, and the crew handles gutter services on residential properties all year. Booking is simple: give us stories, size and tree cover by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy. Most cleanings get booked in one call. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills, so get your gutters on the schedule early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. Every homeowner gets the same check: gutters and downspouts flushed, clogs cleared, a quick look at the drainage, and photos of every run before we leave. Our cleaning and maintenance visits protect your home from water damage, because we check that every outlet carries water away from the house, and clean gutters keep water off the foundation when the next storm arrives. Your yard is left clean, and we leave the trough clean too.
The number comes from stories and size, and local homeowners get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. There is no guesswork at the door, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice.
Across Washington, spring visits land in mid to late June, and local homeowners usually book the fall visit in late November to December. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the next winter.
Our gutter cleaning service books across Port Angeles, and most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and we do not promise same-day service.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves, and the landscape is left clean.
Yes, our gutter cleaning process includes this: we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top and paste over, so we clear the surface and make sure a clean flow reaches the outlet.
A clean gutter that still overflows usually has a slope, capacity or outlet-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell a second cleaning.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the crew starts, not after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
