Our own crew cleans gutters here. Every job ends with a clean run, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your house size and how much tree cover is over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers book with us in the spring or the fall, and that is when our calendar fills.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Wenatchee homes come down to three things: how many stories the house has, its size, and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, but we would rather give you one clean number that already includes the work.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the price, and so does a walk-out basement or sloped landscape that puts the back run well above the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down heavy, packed with compacted grit, and take more time to clean than a gutter that is cleaned on schedule. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. A single twig or clog low in a run can back water up through the whole gutter system and show up as rot in the fascia board. The price covers the gutters and downspouts, which get flushed and flow-tested, and debris removal is included and never billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our local work. One house on a sloped lot had two stories above a walk-out, a heavy seed load in the spring, and a downspout packed to the elbow; the crew flushed it, flow-tested it, and photographed each run once it was clean. Another house had no trees overhanging it and a single run that had been left alone for years, which took longer than its size suggested. Clogged downspouts of that kind are the first thing we look for, and they are why the quote always starts with a look at the gutter, not just the square footage. If you are not sure what your house will come to, send us a photo of the front of the house by text and we will tell you what we see.
We clean residential and commercial buildings, and the questions for residential properties and commercial properties are the same: how many stories, how much buildup, and whether the drainage is working. For Wenatchee homeowners, the spring and fall visits are the usual schedule. A regular gutter cleaning keeps water away from your home and helps protect your home from water damage. Before we quote, we also check whether the water flow out the bottom of each downspout is clear, because a blockage that looks minor from the ground can cause a sag in the run.
Once you know the number, you can decide whether to book now or wait for a better date. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and ask for a written estimate if you want the figure in writing before you book a date.

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 two cleanings a year, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down and before the hard freeze. When we open a gutter here in late spring we find seeds, seed casings and a paste of pollen packed in the elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the late October to November visit we have found runs that sagged under ice by the next winter, and a run that sags that far can lead to structural damage.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what keeps the gutter clear, because needles and grit pack into the downspout between visits, and one clog is enough to back water up to the eave. A house with few or no trees only needs a single visit a year, in late fall. Gutter guards slow the buildup, but they do not stop it, and at each visit we still clean the surface, flush every downspout and check the flow.
Here is how the schedule works on our jobs. One customer with no trees overhanging the house is on a once-a-year schedule in late fall, and the gutters have stayed clean with nothing more than that. Another customer under trees is on a visit every three to four months, because the gutters fill up faster than a yearly visit can keep up with. We name the neighborhood and what we found on each job when we talk it through with you, and we link you to the job record if you want to see the notes.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not guessing. Rainwater that runs off the roofline into a clean gutter is the reason the schedule matters, and the first visit is where we find out how much of it your house is handling. Between visits, keep your gutters clean and the schedule mostly takes care of itself. Your gutter maintenance is the same job every visit, just on a different clock.
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 cleans gutters across Wenatchee WA, and we also serve the surrounding areas, so we know the streets well enough to plan the route. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, built from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months gives you the most choice.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you want to see how the gutter cleaning process runs from the first call to the photos on your phone, ask us to walk you through it when you book. Heavy rainfall in the wettest months, November, December and January, fills the gutters quickly, and a full gutter is where a leak usually starts, so the fall date matters. For most of our customers, the cleaning and maintenance schedule is set once and then kept without much thought, and the photos of each clean run stay on your phone. If you want to clean your gutters before the wet months, call (866) 435-6328 and we will get your gutters on the schedule.
Wenatchee gutter cleaning pricing 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 seeing the house, and the figure we give you is the figure you pay.
Most customers book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the late October to November visit, our crews find the wet leaf mat and any early ice has already been sitting in the runs.
Our cleaning services in Wenatchee run on booked dates, and most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and we do not promise same-day service, because the calendar depends on the week and the weather.
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.
Yes. Our gutter services include flushing every downspout and checking the flow at the bottom, so you know the runs are clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep out the leaves, but they do not stop the needles, seed casings or grit from settling on top. We clear the surface, leave the area under the guards clean, and check the flow at each visit.
If a clean rain gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not buildup. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree before they start. Otherwise the number on the phone is the number on the invoice, and no homeowner should see a surprise there.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
