Our own crew cleans gutters for Mequon homeowners, and every downspout gets flushed and the water flow checked before we leave, with the mess hauled off and photos of every run on your phone. The estimate comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the gutters, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work across Wisconsin for years, and most of our Mequon customers book in spring and fall. Book online or call (866) 435-6328.
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 price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Other companies sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the full run is counted.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep pitch takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eaves, so the back run sits farther up than it looks. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with leaves and debris that has compacted over time, and that takes time to clear by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add their own minutes. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Mequon homes we see the same mix: a two-story with a clogged rain gutter on the back run, a house where water was running along the fascia because the outlets were blocked, and a home with a blockage that had been building since the last visit. In one case the clogged downspouts sat at the elbows, and that clog meant water was running behind the gutter, the kind of thing that leads to rot and structural damage if it goes unnoticed. We flushed every downspout and checked that the drainage carried water away from the foundation, and that visit changed the number because the job took longer than a standard clean. We clean gutters on residential properties across the city, and we handle commercial properties too for the sites that need it.

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 Mequon customers book twice a year for gutter maintenance, once in late spring after the seed and pollen drop finishes and again in late fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seed casings and pollen packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the weight by the following March. Water backs up behind the fascia when heavy rainfall hits a clogged run, and that is how a simple clog turns into a rainwater problem.
Under heavy tree cover, or on a wooded landscape near a busy road or construction, we see the gutters fill faster, with needles, twig and grit packing the downspouts between visits. Those homes are on a schedule of every three to four months. With few or no trees, one visit a year in late fall is enough. Homes with gutter guards need less attention, but the surface still gets cleared, because the buildup sits on top of the guard even when the trough stays clean.
When we open a gutter that is holding a blockage we tell you exactly what we found and where. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, and the estimate for the next visit comes from what the gutters showed us, not from a general rule. Booking a regular gutter cleaning service is the simplest way to keep Mequon gutter cleaning on schedule and keep water away from your home.
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 has cleaned gutters across Mequon WI for residential and commercial customers, and we cover the city as a whole from the nearest base, along with the surrounding areas. Booking gutter services works the way you would expect: call or text, give us your stories, your approximate size and whether trees hang over the building, and send a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. We can usually price the job from that alone. The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills, so book early if you can. We call before we come, and nobody has to be home while we work.
Regular cleanings are how you protect your home from water damage, since they stop a slow leak at a seam before it reaches the fascia. Every visit covers cleaning and maintenance on the whole system: we clear the gutters and downspouts, flush every downspout, check that the water leaves at the outlet and photograph the runs. If you are not sure whether your gutters need attention, a photo of the roofline is usually enough for us to say. If you want to clean your gutters on a set schedule, say so when you call and we will keep your gutters clear between visits. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar, or text us the photo and we will tell you what we see. The sooner a blockage is cleared, the less chance it has to become a larger problem, and we would rather see it early than after the fascia has started to rot.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a figure in advance without those details, because a two-story with a steep back run can be a very different job from a single-story ranch. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Our customers here most often book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. If the fall visit is skipped, the wet leaf mat can sit through the first freeze, and we have found sagging runs by March on those homes.
Most slots come up within the week during the busy windows across Mequon. If you want cleaning services in Mequon sooner, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what is open when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends each homeowner 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 is flushed and we check that the water leaves at the outlet. That check is part of the gutter cleaning process on every visit. Clearing a buried line that does not drain is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs leaves and needles sit on top of the guard and in the surface layer, and water can run over the front edge even when the trough looks clean. Guards change the work, not the need for a clear flow through the gutter system, so we clear the surface and check the flow.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout capacity rather than a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it is instead of selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
