Our own crew cleans gutters in Spokane Valley, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess bagged and hauled away, every run left clean, 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 hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Washington, our crews see the same pattern: most houses are cleaned in late spring and late fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have both finished.
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. We quote it over the phone at (866) 435-6328 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, but on a house the total is what matters, so we give you an estimate from the stories and the tree cover before the crew is booked.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and debris that has compacted into a mat, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Every run is left clean, and that is in the quote. A homeowner who asks for the number up front gets the same figure on the invoice. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
In Spokane Valley homes, the runs that cause trouble are usually the ones where the gutter sag has let water pool and the buildup has started to block the outlet. Spokane Valley homeowners often miss the sag until the water has already collected. When we find a clog at a downspout, we flush it and watch the water until it runs clean at the outlet, so we know the water flow away from the house is actually moving and the rainwater is not backing up at the elbow. A gutter system that has sagged holds water in its low spot. On the older runs, a drainage problem tends to show up as rot in the fascia board, and sometimes as structural damage, before anyone notices the gutter itself.
One case from a Spokane Valley job: a two-story house with moderate tree cover, where the back run had sagged and was holding a wet leaf mat. The quote came from the stories and the tree cover, and the cleaning included the flush and the haul-off.
| 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 Spokane Valley customers book two cleanings a year, in spring and fall, once after the seed and pollen drop and once after the last leaves come down. On our jobs, the spring visit clears the seed casings and pollen paste from the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the rain season sets in. A clean run going into the rain season is less likely to sag or start a leak at the seams. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have found runs that sagged under the weight of winter debris by the time the snow melted.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see working, because needles, twigs and grit leave clogged downspouts between visits. Regular gutter cleaning on that schedule keeps a clog from forming at the elbow. Near a busy road or a construction site, the same schedule applies. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs debris removal, because what sits on top of a guard is what starts the blockage.
On a freeze-risk lot, the fall visit matters most. Heavy rainfall in January, November and December is when a blocked run shows first. When the first hard freeze arrives, the water that has not drained from the rain gutter becomes ice at the eave, and the ice dams can lift the shingles. A clean gutter in November is the cheapest insurance against that, and it is the visit most of our customers book first.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, because gutter maintenance is set by the lot and not the calendar. Until then, clean your gutters before the rain season, not after the first overflow.
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 Spokane Valley WA and the surrounding areas, and we clean residential properties every week of the season. Booking a gutter cleaning service with us starts with a quote by phone or text from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof; a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline, and we will tell you when the crew can come.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so book early if you want a specific week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Keep your gutters working through the season by booking the cleaning and maintenance visits that match your lot, and we will flush every downspout while we are up there so the water away from your home and off the landscape keeps moving. Once the runs are clean, we move on, and clear runs help protect your home from water damage. Every visit covers gutters and downspouts, and homes with gutter guards get the guards lifted and reseated each time.
If the job turns up something beyond cleaning, such as a loose hanger or a seam that leaks, we photograph it and include it in the report. If the job is for commercial properties, or a mix of residential and commercial space, say so when you call so we can scope it before the crew is sent.
Q: What does gutter cleaning cost for a two-story house in Spokane Valley? A: The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters.
Q: What month should I clean my gutters in Spokane Valley? A: Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. On houses that wait until the snow melts, the fall debris has usually packed the runs and the downspouts, so the spring visit becomes a bigger job.
Q: Do you offer same-day Spokane Valley gutter cleaning? A: Most slots come up within the week. To get your gutters on the calendar, call and we confirm a date, and we do not promise same-day work without first looking at the calendar.
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. The yard is left as clean as we found it.
Q: Do your cleaning services in Spokane Valley flush the downspouts and check where they drain, including underground lines? A: Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water run through to the outlet, and we check that the discharge clears the landscape beside the house. If a drain line is underground and not moving water, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job quoted before anyone touches it.
Q: If my gutters have guards, do they still need cleaning? A: Yes. On our jobs, guards keep the leaves out of the gutter system, but the needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard and pack the run underneath. We clear the surface and check that water is still getting in, so the run stays clean underneath, and a wet run left alone is how fascia rot starts.
Q: What happens if the gutters still overflow after you leave? A: A clean gutter that still spills water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, and no amount of scooping fixes that. 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: What is the gutter cleaning process from the first call to the invoice? A: The process starts with the quote by phone or text, then the crew clears the runs and flushes every downspout, and the photos arrive before the truck leaves. The price is the price on the phone unless the crew finds something that changes the job. If it does, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
