Our own crew cleans gutters here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, material hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house. The number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
Most of our Walla Walla homeowners book in the spring and fall, and we have been on these homes long enough to know what the seasons leave behind when rainwater has nowhere to go. Keeping a clean gutter through the wet months is the whole job.
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 your gutters, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Our cleaning services in Walla Walla are priced the same way for every homeowner, whether the rain gutter is a short run on a single-story house or a long one under heavy tree cover. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the length is measured, but the three things above are what we actually look at on the ladder.
On our jobs, these are the things that move a quote. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, and that takes longer. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed with compacted muck and the odd twig, and that is slower work than the gutters on a steady schedule of cleanings. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, and a clean run with no guards is the quickest job on the list. Downspout flushing, water flow testing and debris removal are included in the price every time and are never billed as extras. Any leak we spot at a seam is photographed and reported, not sold on the spot. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a typical house here, the homeowner gets the same crew, the same three-stage check and the same photo report whether the house is small or large. What changes is the time on the ladder. One recent job here was a two-story home with heavy tree cover over the back run, where the crew found a leaf buildup close to two inches deep and two outlets running slow at the elbow, the kind of blockage heavy rainfall exposes. The gutter cleaning process on that house took longer than the front-yard look suggested, the crew cleared the leaves and hauled them away from your home, and the quote reflected what the crew actually found once the gutters were open. Cleaning and maintenance on a gutter like that is priced from what is found, not guessed from the yard, and gutter maintenance on any house works the same way. Get your gutters quoted by phone or text with a photo of the front of the house, and you will have the estimate before a truck pulls into your driveway.
| 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 homeowners book two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall, late October to November, after the last leaves come down. Those two visits cover most houses here.
In spring we open the gutters, flush them out, and find the seeds, the seed casings and a pollen paste that packs the downspout elbows. In fall it is leaves and debris packed into the trough, and on the houses that skipped the fall visit, the runs that sag or pull loose by the following spring are the ones that held wet debris through the winter. The gutter system on a house is only as good as its ability to move rainwater away from the house, and a clog that sits through a wet season starts to rot the board behind the gutter. Once that board goes, the structural damage spreads quickly, and a gutter full of wet muck cannot provide proper drainage. That is the pattern we keep seeing, and it is why gutter maintenance in fall matters.
Under heavy tree cover, or where the landscape slopes down toward the house, we see customers on every three to four months, because needles and grit leave clogged downspouts between visits. Near a busy road or a construction site, commercial properties carry a heavier grit load, and the same schedule applies. A house with few or no trees and a simple rain gutter usually needs only one visit a year, in late fall, and a clean run at that point is enough for most lots. Gutter guards change the schedule a little, since the top still collects dirt and needs clearing, but they are cleaned less often than open gutters.
After the first visit we set your gutter cleaning services schedule based on what we found in the gutters, not on a general rule. The aim is to keep your gutters clean through the wet months and to protect your home from water damage.
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 clean gutters across Walla Walla WA from our own crews, and our gutter cleaning service reaches the Walla Walla homes on your street as well as the ones at the end of the lane. Our gutter services book by phone or text. Give us your stories, your approximate square footage and a yes or no on tree cover over the roof, and send a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. That is enough for a firm number.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows each year, the spring and fall visits described above, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of dates. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work, since the crew stays outside and sends the photo report to your phone. Debris removal is part of every visit, so nothing is left for you to haul off. If you have never had your gutters done, we can clean your gutters on a first visit and set the schedule from there.
For a clear answer on timing, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the next open date for your street. Our crews serve residential and commercial work across the surrounding areas: residential properties get the same photo report as commercial properties, and regular gutter cleaning services keep that work on track through the wet season.
The number comes from your stories and your home's size, and we quote it by phone or text. We do not give a figure without those details, because a two-story house with heavy tree cover can run very differently from one with an open yard. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and square footage and we will give you the number we will charge.
On our jobs, most customers book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the last leaves. If you wait past the fall visit, we usually find sagging runs and ice-loaded gutters by the next spring. A clean gutter going into the wettest months here, November, December and March, gives the rain a clear path. Late spring and late fall cover the calendar most of our customers keep.
Same-day slots depend on the week, so we confirm the date when you call. Most open slots come up within the week. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the nearest date we have for your street.
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.
Yes. Our crew checks the gutters and downspouts end to end: we flush every downspout and watch it until it runs clear at the outlet. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks that water is leaving at the far end and tells you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but on our jobs we find needles and seed casings threaded through, and grit sitting on top, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush the outlets and reseat the guards, which usually takes less time than an open gutter.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than a clog. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain, and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, such as a gutter that has to be lifted off to clear, you hear it and agree before work continues. Call (866) 435-6328 for the number before we come out.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
