Our own crew leaves every gutter clean, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves and grit hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover sits overhead, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, the same windows that work across Wisconsin.
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 sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. On our jobs the stories and how much the gutter is clogged with leaves are what actually drive the figure. A leak that shows up at a seam mid-job is photographed and reported, and it is priced separately.
Four things move the price on our crews. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with compacted leaves and grit that takes longer to clear, and a twig jammed in a downspout elbow adds time too. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends of the job.
Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice. Regular gutter maintenance keeps the gutter cleaning process short, since a trough that was clean at the last of our cleanings takes less time. We price cleaning and maintenance as one visit, not two. Leaves and grit are bagged and carried away from your home, and nothing is blown onto the lawn. Heavy rainfall in May, June and July can push a half-full trough over the edge, so get your gutters on the schedule before May.
On our jobs the price is set from the stories, the square footage and the tree cover overhead, and we tell you that number before the crew is scheduled. A house with heavy leaf load and a rear run that drains into a low spot is a different job from a single-story ranch with clear sky over it, even on the same street. We text a photo of the front of the house if that is easy, and we confirm the figure before we book. Homeowners get the figure in writing before anything is booked, and that is how we run cleaning services in Suamico. We keep it clean and simple: one number, written down.
| 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.
Across Wisconsin, most customers book a spring visit in late May or June after the seed and pollen drop, and a fall visit in October or early November after the last leaves fall. Customers across Suamico follow the same pattern. In May the downspout elbows are packed with seed casings and pollen paste, and clogged downspouts are the usual reason a run overflows in the first heavy rain. In the fall it is the wet mat of leaves and debris, and a run left unchecked through winter can sag under ice. Snow falls here from November through April, so any water left in the trough freezes at the eave, which is why a clean gutter at the fall visit matters most. Water left sitting in the trough is also what starts the rot on the fascia.
On a wooded landscape with big trees overhead, needles and grit pack the downspout between visits, and a gutter system that looks clear from the driveway can still be backed up behind the elbows, so the visits come more often than once a year. On a lot with few or no trees, one visit a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards change the schedule a little, but the surface still needs clearing, and the gutters still need checking for what sits on top of the guard. Gutter cleaning services on a lot like this are scheduled by the tree cover, not the calendar alone. Commercial properties with the same tree cover follow the same rule. Left too long, a backed-up run can cause structural damage to the fascia and soffit, and the downspout that carries the water away from the foundation needs flushing too.
After the first visit we tell you how often your lot actually needs it. We look at the downspout, the eave line and what came down in the last storm, and we give you a written schedule to plan around. We check the rain gutter from end to end, and we flush each run and check the water flow at the outlet so you can see the water leave. Ask us for an estimate and we will walk you through what we found at the first visit, and what a clean run should look like after it, without sending a second quote for a problem that is not about cleaning.
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 Suamico WI, and the price works the same way on every street. Our gutter cleaning service covers all Suamico homes, whatever their age. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories, the square footage and the tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy for you to send. Lead time is set by the calendar, and we will tell you the first open window when you call.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, spring and fall, when the seed and leaf loads peak. Booking early in those months gives you the widest choice of dates and a clean start to the season. A clog caught early is quick to clear; one left until the wet months turns into a buildup of wet leaves and grit, and a run that fills that far can sag under the weight. We check the drainage at each outlet and the water flow before we leave. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home: our crew works from the outside of the house, and we send photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Debris removal is included in every visit.
If you want regular gutter cleaning on a set schedule, tell us when you call and we will hold dates for the next visit. Many homeowners prefer to book the spring and fall visits together so the calendar is set for the year, and we can do that on the first call. Whether you want to clean your gutters once or twice a year, we run the same process on residential properties, and the crew handles residential and commercial work alike.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and how much is packed into the gutters and downspouts. We give the estimate by phone or text, and the figure we give is the figure you pay. Downspout flushing and haul-off are included.
Across Wisconsin, most customers book a spring visit in late May or June after the seed and pollen drop, and again in October or early November after the leaves fall. If the fall visit gets skipped, a run can sag and ice can build at the eave through winter. Booking those two visits is the simplest way to keep your gutters clean all year.
Slots depend on the calendar in the surrounding areas, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service, because the calendar fills in the busy months and we would rather give you a date we can keep.
No. Our crew works from outside the house, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. We use ladder stand-offs to protect your home, so the ladder never rests on the gutter lip or siding. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout with water and watch it until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often. Needles, seed casings and grit sit on top of the guard and can keep rainwater from getting in, and a clog forms where they pile up along the roofline. We clear the surface and check that water is flowing into the trough.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a blockage. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue. Keeping the gutters clear helps protect your home from water damage in the first place.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. The same rule applies to all of our gutter services.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
