Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Puyallup WA, every downspout flushed until it runs clean, everything 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. To get your gutters quoted, call (866) 435-6328 or text us today.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter services are priced from stories, square footage and the leaves and debris sitting in the gutters. We quote Puyallup homes over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place, though we do not work that way.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked moves the quote, and so does a walk-out basement or a sloped landscape that raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter that has not been cleaned in years comes down heavier, with compacted buildup and a clog packed into the trough, and guards we have to lift and reseat take extra time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and a clean trough comes with it. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a job last season, the quote moved because the house had two stories, heavy cover over the back run and clogged downspouts that had to be cleared from the top. We priced it from those three things and did not change the number once the crew was up. Homeowners get the same plain estimate here: a sag, a water flow problem or structural damage found on the ladder is photographed and reported, not added to the bill.
| 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.
Most of our customers book twice a year, because that is how often you should clean your gutters here. Across Washington, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop. The fall visit lands in late October to November, after the last leaves. In spring the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the downspout elbows and set a clog. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and the rainwater it holds has nowhere to go. Puyallup gets 45.1 inches of precipitation a year, with January, November and December the wettest months, and freezing is a real risk here, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest. A run left full over a freeze can sag and pull loose, and that is when a small leak turns into rot and a repair.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see keep the gutter system working, because needles, twigs and grit pack the downspout between visits. Across Washington, atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts bring the heavy rainfall that fills a gutter fast, and a homeowner with trees overhead feels it first. For few or no trees, one clean in late fall is enough for most lots. Guards need fewer cleanings a year, but the surface still has to be kept clean. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and that sets your gutter maintenance schedule. The gutter cleaning service runs on the tier we set, and you can book the next visit when you call.
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.
Puyallup gutter cleaning is done from the nearest base, and the crew covers the surrounding areas across Puyallup without needing a second trip. The gutter cleaning process starts with a call or a text. Send a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, roughly how big it is and whether trees hang over the roof, and we give you the quote on the spot. The busy windows fill first here, so it helps to book before the seeds drop in spring or before the leaves start to fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the photo by text.
We call before we come and nobody needs to be home. Our crew works outside, leaves the ground clean, and does not come inside. If you want to keep your gutters clean between visits, ask us about regular gutter cleaning on a set schedule and we will set the date. Our crew will flush every downspout to move water away from your home, and our aim is to protect your home from water damage. Ask on the call whether the job is for residential properties or commercial properties; sites that are residential and commercial get the same check before we quote, and we tell you on the spot whether we take it.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing those two things. The price we give is the price we charge.
Across Washington, the spring visit lands in mid to late June. The fall visit lands in late October to November, and January, November and December are the wettest months here. Freezing is a real risk here, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest.
Our cleaning services in Puyallup run on a booked calendar, and most slots come up within the week. We confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service unless the calendar has an opening that day.
No, you do not need to be home. 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, and the ground stays clean.
Yes, every downspout is flushed until clean and checked for flow. If a line runs underground, we check the drainage at the outlet and tell you if the water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep leaves out but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and underneath. Guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, but we still clear the surface, flush the downspout and leave the gutter clean under the guard.
A gutter that is empty and still overflows has a slope or downspout size problem, not a blockage. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning for a slope problem.
No, the price we quote is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
