Our own crew cleans gutters in Oshkosh, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave, with the ground left clean. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone at (866) 435-6328 is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been doing it that way across Wisconsin long enough to know what a clean gutter should look like by the time we pack up. For a gutter cleaning quote you can plan around, tell us about the house and we will walk through the three facts we need.
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 the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run. Per-linear-foot quoting is the other way some companies price it, and it is worth asking what a company would charge for your actual house before you agree to a number. For a number on your own house, call (866) 435-6328.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk adds time and equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run, so the back gutter sits much higher than the front. Oshkosh homes vary in height and pitch, so every quote starts from the stories and the roofline. The landscape around the house, trees included, shows up in the quote too. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down with a heavy buildup of compacted leaves and grit, and that takes longer than a light cleaning. Clogged downspouts add time as well, and a run that sags needs a closer look. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run, and the crew quotes the whole gutter system on the house, not one side. The crew treats the gutters and their outlets as one job, and flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Each run is checked for water flow before the crew leaves, and any drain that cannot carry water away from your home gets flushed first. If the crew finds structural damage in the fascia or the brackets, that is the first thing you hear about, before the ladder goes up. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our work includes houses on the older side where a clog has been sitting in a rain gutter for seasons, and the crew has seen the effect on drainage, and a leak that started at a seam and ran down the wood behind the trim. In one of our recent jobs, the neighborhood, number of stories, tree cover and what we found all shaped the quote, and the link to that job is listed in the cases. Water that sits in a gutter does not stay in the gutter, and for a homeowner the cost of a cleaning is much smaller than what water running behind a sagging run does to the house over a few seasons.
We do residential and commercial work, and our commercial properties are quoted on a per-building schedule. For a home, the same three facts go into the phone quote: stories, size, and the trees. Send a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy, and we can usually tell you the number on the same call.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |

| 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.
Most of our customers book twice a year, in late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in fall after the last leaves. Across Wisconsin, the calendar is the same: the first visit clears what the spring brought down, the second clears what the fall left behind before the first real freeze. The wettest months here are May, June and July, so the spring visit lands just ahead of the heavy rainfall. Regular gutter cleaning for Oshkosh WI homes follows the same two windows. On our jobs, when we open a gutter here in May we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows and a paste of pollen sitting on top of them. Booking the spring visit to clean your gutters before the wettest stretch is the simplest plan.
In fall it is the leaves and debris that count. Winters here freeze hard enough that ice dams are a real risk, so if the first ice comes before the gutters are cleared, the trapped water freezes at the eave and forms ice dams that lift shingles from underneath. A single clog at the elbow can back the whole run up before winter. The runs that sag or pull loose by March are almost always on houses that skipped the fall visit. A rainwater overflow in winter is much harder to deal with than the same gutter cleared in October. Gutter maintenance in fall is what keeps a small leak from turning into a winter repair.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and the buildup forms faster than a twice-a-year cleaning can keep up with. Near a busy road or a construction site the same pattern holds, and any blockage found at an elbow tightens the schedule to match. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. If you have gutter guards, you still need the surface cleared, and the schedule is usually a little less often than an open gutter.
One of our customers has no trees near the house and runs on a once-a-year schedule. Another has large trees over the back of the house and is on the every-three-to-four-month schedule. Both are in the cases listed on this page with their links. After the first visit, each gutter cleaning service call ends with a tier recommendation, and the estimate for the next visit comes from what we found on that roofline. A clean gutter on the first visit makes the next one faster.
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.
Oshkosh gutter cleaning reaches every neighborhood we serve, and our gutter cleaning services start from the nearest base. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and the tree cover. A photo of the house front helps and is easy to send. Most homeowners here book by phone or text, and we confirm the slot on that same call. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, and we will tell you the first slot we have. Two busy windows fill our calendar every year, and those are the spring and fall visits, so the sooner you book the better your chances of getting the date you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the cleaning. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside. If you want to keep your gutters clean between visits, the easiest way to get your gutters on track is to book the schedule your lot needs and let us flush every downspout on the same visit. A twig caught in an elbow can hold back a whole run, and the crew clears it while it is up there. A clean gutter helps protect your home from water damage, and the cost of waiting is almost always higher than the cost of the visit. Most customers on a schedule book their cleanings ahead of the spring and fall windows.
We serve homeowners in the surrounding areas and across the rest of town, and we also handle residential properties throughout town. The crew cleans gutters and downspouts in one visit, and all of our gutter services are quoted the same way, by phone or text. Our customers include people who have never had a gutter cleaned and people who book every season, and we are glad to talk with either.
The number comes from stories, size and the landscape around the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a price on the page, because the house decides it. Once we have your stories and square footage, you hear the number before anything is booked, and that number is what the invoice shows. The whole gutter system is quoted that way, not one side.
Our customers across Oshkosh book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, the leaf load and the first ice can leave runs sagging by March. Starting the season with clean gutters before the heavy rainfall keeps the seeds and pollen from packing the elbows after the seed drop. Booking the spring visit is the simplest way to get your gutters ready for the year.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service. We book cleaning services in Oshkosh by slot, and the calendar fills fast in spring and fall, so when you call, we tell you the first slot the calendar has open.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet is flushed and flow-tested, and we check that water is carried away from your home at the outlet. A buried line that will not clear is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it. Our gutter cleaning process ends with photos of every run on your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. Guards stop leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, which sit on top of the guard and turn into a mat once wet. We lift the panels, clear what is underneath, flush the outlets and reseat the guards. Guards change the cleaning and maintenance, but they do not remove it, so plan on gutter maintenance a little less often than an open system.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a leaf problem. Water left running over the edge can rot the fascia, so send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we 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 and agree to it before they start, never after. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
