Our own crew cleans gutters in Cross Lanes, flushes each run and flow-tests it, hauls off everything it pulls out, and takes photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your 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. Across West Virginia, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, once the seed drop and the last leaves are down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage 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. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but on a real house the stories and the roofline do most of the work.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up in the air, gutters nobody has opened in years where the mess has packed down and the clogged downspouts back up, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get at the trough. We flush every downspout, test the flow, and haul off the debris, and none of it is billed as an extra. If something we find changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
When a rain gutter run is packed with leaves and debris, the clog stops the water flow at the first bend and drainage fails, which is how a gutter sag starts and how the buildup turns into rot at the fascia. On a house with a structural damage history, the crew checks that the gutter is pitched to carry water away from your home before it is cleaned, and says so if it is not. Cross lanes homes get the same job as any other house on the route: the gutter is cleared, the outlet is flushed, and it is watched until it runs clear.
We do not do repair or installation work, so the only thing the crew does on a run that needs more is photograph it and put it in your report. What you do about it is your call. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential and commercial properties, and on commercial properties the job is quoted per building. Our crew is here for the cleaning, and we do the cleaning well.
| 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 Cross Lanes WV customers book two cleanings a year. Across West Virginia the spring visit lands in mid to late May, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs late October to November, once the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows of the drain pipes. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under ice by March.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the gutter clog faster than anywhere else, because twigs and grit make a blockage at the outlets between visits, and those customers are on every three to four months. On a lot with few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough to keep the water moving. Regular gutter cleaning is what keeps a guarded gutter clean and working too: guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared, and rainwater that sits on top of a guard runs off the front edge just the same.
Here is what we see at each visit. In spring, the seeds and pollen. In fall, the leaf load, and on the winters we have had here, the first ice and ice dams at the eave. Locally the area gets about 47.1 inches of precipitation a year, with the wettest months in May, June and July, and about 10.7 inches of snow, mostly from December through March. Summer thunderstorms and derechos across West Virginia bring heavy rainfall, so gutter maintenance in late fall is what keeps the roofline draining through the winter. Every visit includes debris removal, so nothing is left in the trough to freeze.
Every three to four months, or once a year, depends on the lot, and what decides it is whether the water flow is still clear at the outlet. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Schedule the first estimate by calling (866) 435-6328, and we will look at the roofline with you before the crew is booked, so you know when to clean your gutters.
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 Cross Lanes from the nearest base, and the crew works the whole area, not a single route. Booking for cross lanes gutter cleaning is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is overhead. A homeowner can book by phone or by text. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call, the sooner you get a date that fits your schedule.
Lead time depends on the week and on how many houses are already on the route, so we give you the date when you call rather than promising one. Nobody needs to be home for the visit. We call before we come, and the gutter cleaning process runs from the outside, so you do not need to clear anything inside the house. The gutters and drain pipes are what we clean, and the photos come to your phone once the run is clean.
A clean gutter helps protect your home from water damage and catches a small leak at a joint before it spreads, and the crew does not stop at the front run. We clean the back, the side runs and the downspouts that feed the drain line, and we check where the water lands in the landscape, so the whole system is clear. If you are looking for gutter services that cover the whole house and the surrounding areas, this is the visit that helps you keep your gutters running as they should.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. The cleaning and maintenance visit is quoted as one job before the crew is booked, so the number you hear is the one you pay.
On our jobs, most customers here book in mid to late May and again in late October to November. If they wait past the first hard freeze, the fall visit is when we find the ice dams and the sag. Across West Virginia, late spring and late fall are the windows we see the most.
Most of our cleaning services in Cross Lanes come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service unless we have a crew open on your street that day.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain pipe to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. The gutter system is checked on every visit: each outlet is flushed and watched until it runs clear. If a drain feeds an underground line, we check that water leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not. Clearing a buried line is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out, but on our jobs we find a twig, seed casings and roof grit sitting on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. We still clean the surface and check that water is getting in.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in the rain has a slope or drain-size problem, not a cleaning problem. 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. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it before the work starts and agree to it then. Call to get your gutters quoted, and the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
