Our own crew handles Greendale gutter cleaning start to finish: every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves and grit hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Greendale homeowners get the same crew on the ladder each time. The price comes from your stories, your roof size and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our Greendale customers book in the spring and fall, and every gutter comes back clean.
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, how big the roof is, 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. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but the stories and the buildup matter more than the footage alone. Debris removal is part of the quote, not a line item added after the truck leaves.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we can see from the ground. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk changes how the crew works the run. A walk-out basement puts the back gutter far above the ground, which slows the job. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down heavy, with compacted muck, a twig jammed in the elbow and a blockage at the outlet. On a gutter system with guards, lifting and reseating the panels adds time before the gutter runs clean. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras, and every run is left clean at the bottom before we call it done. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, not on the invoice.
Our Greendale homes vary, and so do the gutter cleaning services we are asked to do on them. When we open a run with a clog at the bottom and a sag in the middle, water flow has been failing for a while, and a leak at the seam is taking the damage behind the fascia. Clogged downspouts are usually the first thing we find. We photograph it, flush every downspout, and tell you what it will take to leave the run clean and keep the drainage working. That is the work of regular gutter cleaning, and it is the same job whether it is a house or one of the residential and commercial buildings we service across the area. Our residential properties and commercial properties get the same photos and the same straight number. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate by the end of the day.

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 Greendale customers book twice a year, once from late May to June after the seed and pollen drop, and once from October to early November after the leaves are down. On our jobs the spring visit is when we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the gutters and downspouts, and the fall visit is when the wet leaf mat is thickest. Greendale gets about 48.7 inches of snow a year and the freeze risk is real, so rainwater left in the gutters all winter has nowhere to go and starts to rot the fascia. By March we see runs that have sagged under ice and pulled loose from the fascia, and that kind of structural damage is far more work than a fall visit. It is cheaper to clean your gutters in October than to replace a fascia board in March.
Under heavy tree cover, gutter cleanings have to come more often, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Heavy rainfall lands in April, May and June, the wettest months here, so the spring visit clears out what April rain left behind. A house with few or no trees is fine on once a year in the fall. Gutters with gutter guards need less frequent gutter maintenance, but we still clear the surface to keep the trough clean and check that water is getting in, because a wet mat on top of a guard will let the water run off the front edge instead of into the trough.
For a Greendale WI home, after the first visit we tell you which of those tiers your lot actually needs, based on what the gutters look like when we open them. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see. Keep your gutters clean and working and you protect your home from water damage, and that means one clean visit a year as the minimum for most homes in Greendale and the surrounding areas, with more if the lot is heavy with trees.
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 Greendale from the nearest base, and we have cleaned gutters across Greendale as a whole, along with the surrounding areas. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every job: you give us your stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the front if it is easy. From there we give you a quote by phone or text and set a date for cleaning and maintenance. The busy windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills fastest, so earlier is better for those months.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works from the outside, and the photos come to your phone when the job is done. Everything pulled out goes into bags and leaves with the truck, and the ground is left clean, with nothing on the lawn or the deck. If you have a question about a particular run, a clog or a slope that looks wrong, write it in the booking message and we will look at it when we arrive. Water that sits along the wall after a rain can also show a landscape problem, and if it keeps up it will rot the trim, so mention the grading too. If you want to get your gutters on the calendar before the busy weeks, say so in that message too. Every homeowner who wants a clean gutter line and gutter services that actually carry water away from your home gets the same straight answer, and the same crew on the ladder.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We quote it by phone or text, and the number we quote is what you pay.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June and again from October to early November. If you wait past the fall visit, we usually find the wet leaf mat has packed the downspouts and the runs have started to sag before winter.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
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, every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested until it runs clean at the bottom, and we check that the water is leaving at the outlet. Clogged downspouts that will not clear from below get worked from the top, because clear downspouts carry water away from the foundation. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs under guards we find needles, seed keys and leaves threaded through, with seed casings and grit sitting on top. Once that leaves and debris mat is wet, the water runs off the front edge instead of into the trough. We lift the panels, clear underneath, and reseat them so the trough stays clean and the gutter system drains properly.
A rain gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in the rain has a slope or downspout-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. If the landscape slopes toward the house, water runs back to the foundation no matter how clean the gutter is, and that is a grading question, not a cleaning one. Water left running along the wall can rot the fascia board before anyone sees it.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
