Our own crew does the work in town. Every downspout gets flushed and flow-tested, the leaves are hauled away, and you get photos of every run before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book in spring and 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.
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, and that estimate is the number we charge. Companies that sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the three things above decide it. A clean gutter and a packed one are not the same job, and that is why we ask what is on the roof. The same three things set the number on commercial properties too, and the method does not change.
What moves the number is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavy, with leaves and debris packed into the trough, and that means more time in the run. Guards we have to lift and reseat add labor too. The gutter system itself, its pitch and the number of stories decide the time on the ladder. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, because a clear run moves water away from your home. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs the things we see most are clogged downspouts, a run that has begun to sag from years of wet leaves, which is an early sign of structural damage, and water flow that stops short of the outlet, which is a drainage problem. When we open a rain gutter on a house in the older blocks, the leaves and grit are usually packed to the elbow, a clog that takes most of the time on the ladder. Greenville homes on the same street can get different numbers, and the difference is always in the stories, the size and the buildup. We do not quote a price for those things on the phone without seeing them, so we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text, and that lets us set the number before the truck rolls. Customers with a single story and no trees hear a lower number than the three-story house on the same street. Our past customers say the number held. If a ladder cannot reach a run and we have to adjust, you hear it on the phone before we arrive, not after.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
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.
On our jobs most customers settle on two cleanings a year, in spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves. Regular gutter cleaning service is what keeps that schedule honest. If you want to clean your gutters before the seed drop, book in May. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds packed to the elbow and pollen paste sitting in the bottom of the run. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag by March under ice. A roofline that was clear in October can carry a clog all winter if the first cleaning slipped.
Under heavy tree cover, or next to a landscape bed that drops needles and grit, we see every three to four months. Needles and grit pack the gutters between visits, and a blockage in the first elbow does not clear itself. Near a busy road or construction, the same schedule applies, because the dust settles into the gutter and turns to sludge. Residential and commercial roofs see the same blockage, and debris removal is part of every visit, not an add-on. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots, and guards mean less often, though the surface still needs clearing. Rainwater keeps moving through a clean gutter, and that is the point of the schedule.
The wettest months here are May, June and July, and that is when heavy rainfall tests the gutters hardest. Our crew sees the most buildup in gutters that were left past the spring visit. Commercial properties see the same blockage in the same months, and residential properties follow the same rhythm. A gutter that is clean in May and still overflowing in July is usually a slope problem, not a debris problem, and we say so. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and the estimate for the next visit follows from that.
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.
Greenville gutter cleaning reaches the whole town from the nearest base. Our process starts with one call: dial (866) 435-6328 or send a text, and we ask for stories, approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof. A homeowner can book in a few minutes, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Gutter services are scheduled that way, and the quote we give over the phone or by text holds. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so book early if you want a particular week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the job. Most homes do fine with two cleanings a year, and between them a twig wedged in the trough or a leak at a seam is worth a look. To keep your gutters and downspouts working, flush every downspout at each visit, and clean your gutters between visits if you can. Gutter guards help with heavy tree cover, though they do not replace the crew. Clean gutters help protect your home from water damage, and they move water away from your home when the rain comes down hard. The surrounding areas see the same runoff in the wet months, so the same advice holds there.
The number comes from stories and size, and that is the same method across Greenville. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number we charge. We do not quote a figure from the road.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall, after the last leaves. If you want to get your gutters cleaned before the seed drop, book early, because seed and pollen build up fast under a landscape bed. Heavy rainfall in the wet months finds any gap, and in a freeze year a clean gutter in fall matters most, because ice dams start at the eave.
Most slots come up within the week for our cleaning services in Greenville, and we confirm the date when you call. If a slot is open sooner, we tell you on the phone.
No. The gutter cleaning process is outside work only: our crew 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. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, and we check the outlet so water moves away from your home. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, priced before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often, but the surface still needs a clean. Guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, but they do not end gutter maintenance. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard in a guarded gutter system, and water that never went in.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem. Send us a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is, because a fascia that soaks for years can rot before the first stain shows. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if the job changes, and you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice. The quote we give is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
