Our own crew cleans gutters in Cudahy, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work for homeowners across Wisconsin since our spring visits, and most of our Cudahy customers book with us in spring and fall.
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 in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, for residential properties and commercial properties alike, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but we quote the whole house so you can compare one number to another.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the work. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with buildup, and that takes longer than a light clean. Guards that we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On the Cudahy homes we see most often, Cudahy gutter cleaning runs longest on the gutter under the oldest tree line. We have cleared houses where the clog was a leaves and debris mat sitting over the first elbow, with water running back behind the gutter and no way out. Once that water has nowhere to go, the wall below starts to show it. Drainage and water flow matter more than the gutter's look, so we check every run and every downspout before we sign off, and a run that only looks clean gets flow tested. When a rain gutter sags or pulls off the fascia, that is structural damage, and we say so in the photo report instead of hiding it in the bill. Clogged downspouts are the usual cause, and clearing them and keeping them clean is what keeps the rest of the house dry and water away from the foundation. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the house, or book a date with the crew.

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 Cudahy homeowners book twice a year, in spring and fall. Across Wisconsin, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit in late October or November, after the last leaves are down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and a run that looked clean in May can be full by October. When the first ice comes, the ice dams at the eave. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag or pull loose by March. A gutter system full of wet debris all winter holds water against the fascia, and that is where rot starts. A clog that sits all winter becomes a blockage at the first thaw, and that is when rainwater starts to back up under the shingles.
Cudahy gets 34.6 inches of precipitation a year, and April, June and August are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall finds a clog fast. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction where grit collects, we are back every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, a clean run may hold through a single late-fall visit. Guards need less frequent visits, but the surface still gets cleared on the schedule. A gutter that looks clean from the ground can still hold a clog, so we check the run nearest the lowest corner first, because that is where water collects before it overflows.
We do not estimate frequency from a rule of thumb. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate comes from what we found in the gutters, not the calendar. Our standard service covers residential and commercial properties, and we handle cleaning and maintenance on a regular schedule so you do not have to remember it. For a Cudahy WI gutter cleaning service that stays on schedule, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the first visit so you can get your gutters on a schedule that holds.
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 works across Cudahy from the nearest base, treating the full city as one service area. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote from stories, size and tree cover. A photo of the house helps us see the lot before we arrive, and it is the quickest way to get a number on the phone.
Our calendar fills at two windows: late spring, when the seed drop lands, and late fall, when the leaves come down. Book early for either of those windows. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. For a homeowner who wants the whole job done in one pass, we keep the schedule tight so the crew can clean your gutters and downspouts and flush every downspout in a single visit.
Whether your house has open gutters or gutter guards, and whether you want a single clean or regular cleanings, we protect your home from water damage by keeping the gutter system clear, which moves water away from your home before a leak can start at the eave. A single twig in a downspout elbow can stop a whole run, so we clear every one by hand. Between visits we keep your gutters clean, and we will tell you what we find on the roof. We cover the surrounding areas of Cudahy from the same crew, leave the landscape beside the house as we found it, and our gutter services stay consistent from the first visit to the last.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story house with a steep back run is not the same job as one with a gentle pitch.
Most of our customers book in late spring and late fall. If the fall visit is skipped, we find ice dams at the eave and runs that sag by March, and water sitting in them is how rot starts on the fascia, which is why we push the November visit.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise a same-day visit unless a slot is open.
No. The gutter cleaning process is simple. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see each run came out clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the landscape under the eaves stays as the crew found it.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check the outlet, and a twig lodged in the elbow gets pulled out by hand. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep the big leaves off, but seeds, needles and grit still get under the panels, so the surface and the underside both need clearing. Guards do not end gutter maintenance, so we clear them on the schedule.
A gutter system that is clean and still overflows has a slope, capacity or downspout problem, not a debris problem. Send us a short video the next time heavy rainfall hits and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number we quote is the number we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
