Our own crew cleans gutters and flushes every downspout before we leave, then hauls the debris away. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the gutters, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we are busiest. Our gutter cleaning services cover homeowners and residential properties, and you get clean gutters plus photos of each run. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for gutter cleaning services depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is 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. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once you do the math, but a per-foot rate hides what the crew actually has to do on your house. The same quote method covers residential properties and commercial properties.
On our jobs, these are the things that move the quote for a gutter system. A third story or a steep pitch nobody should walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground, so the lift has to reach further. Gutters nobody has opened in years are packed with compacted buildup that has to be dug out by hand, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, we tell you before work starts.
Our customers in the heavy tree areas tend to have the most leaves and debris in their gutters, and the clog builds up fast at the elbows. On one of our jobs, a home with heavy tree cover had a buildup of seeds and grit that had partially blocked the rain gutter on the back run, and the clogged downspouts were packed with grit at the bend. We cleared it, flushed each downspout, left the run clean, and confirmed the water flow away from the foundation was steady. The homeowner now books on a shorter schedule. Clarksburg homes with trees hanging over the gutters usually need more frequent visits than homes that are more open, and we tell you which one applies to your lot after the first visit.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $165 | from $215 | from $280 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $190 | from $250 | from $325 |
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 in spring and fall, residential and commercial alike: once in late spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and again in late October to November after the last leaves are down. Even a gutter that looks clean here in May has seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by March under the weight of ice.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps the gutter runs clear, because needles and grit pack in between visits. Near a busy road or active construction, the same schedule keeps the gutters clean. With few or no trees over the house, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guarded gutters need less frequent cleaning, but clean your gutters on a schedule anyway: the surface still has to be cleared, since a guard keeps out the leaves and lets the grit and the seed mat sit right on top.
A clog that builds slowly can turn into a leak at a seam, or a rainwater overflow at a corner where the run is low, and that is how structural damage starts at the fascia. A blockage at the downspout elbow is the most common one we see on our jobs, and the overflow soaks the landscape beds by the foundation. Regular gutter cleaning catches the buildup before it reaches the roofline or the fascia. Clarksburg gets 48.2 inches of precipitation a year, and May, June and July are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a clogged run shows itself. If you are not sure how often your lot needs a visit, ask for an estimate and we will tell you which tier fits after we have looked at it.
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 covers Clarksburg and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we work the whole city, not just one part of it. We clean the back of the house as well as the front. We flush every downspout before we leave, and the job covers the gutters and downspouts on every side. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, based on your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the gutters. If a twig or a wad of seed mat is jammed in a downspout elbow, we clear it and tell you what we found. If it is easy, send a photo of the front of the house, because it lets us see the roofline before we come out. We call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for the job, and the homeowner gets the photos either way. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
Lead time depends on the season, and the two busiest windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when most of our customers book their twice-a-year visits. Our cleanings fill first in those windows, so if you are booking during those months, call early in the week to get a slot. We do not promise same-day service, but we will confirm a date when you call so you know when to expect us.
The point of regular service is to keep your gutters clear and protect your home from water damage before it starts. A clean run carries water away from the foundation, and a clear downspout keeps it moving. Our gutter services pair cleaning and maintenance so the rainwater goes where it is supposed to, and you are not dealing with a leak in the middle of a storm. Clean gutters, a clear roofline and a crew that shows up when we say we will is the whole job.
Clarksburg gutter cleaning for a two-story house is quoted from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo and we will give you that number before we come out.
Most of our customers book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late October to November, after the last leaves. If you wait past those windows, the wet leaf mat and the ice in winter are what we find on the houses that skipped the visit. Call early in the year and we will help you get your gutters on the calendar. Once you are booked, the crew handles cleaning and maintenance on the same visit.
We confirm a date when you call, and the timing depends on the season. We do not promise same-day visits, but we will tell you the first open window across Clarksburg as soon as you ask.
No. The crew works outside only and never comes inside, and leaves the yard as clean as it was before they arrived. We text you photos of the finished job, so you can see the result without being home for it. Just tell us about the side gate and any pets when you book.
Yes, we flush each downspout and flow-test it, and we check that the water is carried away from your home at the outlet, not pooling in the landscape. If a downspout runs into a buried pipe, we check the outlet and tell you whether water is getting through. Clearing the buried pipe is a separate job, quoted before we touch it.
Yes, but less often. Guards keep the leaves out, while seed casings, pollen and grit settle on top of the guard and rain runs off the front edge. Our crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and reseats them, so the trough is clean again.
If a gutter system still spills during heavy rainfall after a clean, the cause is usually slope or downspout size rather than anything left in the trough. Water that sits at the fascia over time can lead to rot in the fascia board, so we want to see it early. Send us a video taken during a rain and we will tell you what we see. A slope fix is a different job, and we quote it separately.
It should not. The quote is built from the house and the gutters, and anything new that turns up gets a call before any work on it begins.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
