Our own crew cleans gutters in Superior, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the debris 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 hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we are glad to walk you through which visit your lot needs.
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, including leaves and debris. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Superior homes with a standard gutter system are priced the same way, from the first look at the runs through the gutter cleaning process. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the height and the condition of the runs matter more than the length.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the setup, and so does a walk-out basement or a sloped landscape that raises the effective height of the gutters. Gutters that have not been opened in years are packed with compacted buildup, a twig or two, and seed casings, and the drainage is cut down to a trickle, which takes longer than a light clean; clogged downspouts are usually the first place the water stops. A sag at a joint can leak at the seam, so we check it before we price the job. When the guards are on, we have to lift and reseat them, and we price that in before we start. Downspout flushing, flow testing and the haul-away are included in the quote and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
One job shows how this plays out. A two-story home with a moderate clog load had a clog at the rear corner that was holding water against the fascia, and the crew found a sag in the run that needed to be noted. We cleared the run, flushed the rain gutter and every downspout, and photographed the water flow once the trough was clean, so the owner could see where the water was heading away from your home. The quote was set by the stories and the buildup we saw from the ladder, not by a rate card.
If you have a commercial building across Superior, the same approach applies to commercial properties, priced per building and scheduled around the work. Residential properties start with the same question as commercial ones: what is blocking the flow, and where does it cause structural damage if it is left alone? A clean trough through heavy rainfall is the goal, because a clog that holds water is the one that reaches the fascia.
| 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.
Most of our customers book twice a year. Across Wisconsin, the spring visit runs late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves come down. On our jobs, the spring visit is mostly a clean sweep of seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and the fall visit is mostly leaves and needles plus the first cold snap. In the snow months, a fall visit that was skipped usually shows up as a run that sagged under ice by the next March. Our crew has seen the rainwater back up under the first course of shingles when the roofline was not cleared before the freeze.
Under heavy tree cover, plan on cleanings every three to four months, because needles, twigs and grit pack the downspouts between visits and the blockage builds faster than the calendar. Residential and commercial buildings with few or no trees usually need one visit a year, in late fall. Guards reduce how often the gutter itself fills, but the surface still needs to be kept clean, so guards push the schedule out rather than end it. Regular gutter cleaning and debris removal is what keeps the schedule short. Our rule is simple: the first visit tells us which tier your lot needs, and we tell you what we found.
Gutter cleaning services here are one of the few jobs where the calendar matters more than the cost of a single visit. A regular gutter cleaning schedule keeps the estimate small and keeps the trough clean between visits, and it avoids the bigger repair that follows a clog left to sit through a season. While the crew is up there, they clean the trough and check the joints for leaks, so a loose hanger or a sag gets flagged before it becomes a bigger problem. If you are not sure whether a gutter cleaning service visit is due, or what gutter maintenance your roofline needs, send a photo of the house and we will say what we see.
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 Superior WI and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we book by phone or text. Superior homeowners reach us at (866) 435-6328, and to get a quote you tell us the stories, roughly how big the house is and whether trees hang over the roof. Send a photo of the front if that is easy. Most of our customers hear back the same day, and the lead time on a visit is shown when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, so to get your gutters on the schedule, book early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Once the runs are clean and any gutter guards are reseated, the photos of every run arrive on your phone before the truck leaves. If you want to protect your home and keep your gutters and downspouts clear for the next storm season, we can work with you on the schedule. A homeowner who books a regular visit tends to keep water away from your home and avoid the cost of structural damage from a clog left through a wet season. Regular visits also keep the home from water damage and rot under control when the wet season hits.
Whether you are a new customer or you have had us out before, the booking is the same: a quote from the three things we can see, a date that works, and a crew that will flush every downspout and leave the runs clean before it goes. Superior gutter cleaning follows that same order every time, and cleaning services in Superior are booked the same way. The cleaning and maintenance on your gutters gets the same care, whichever visit you book. Gutter services in Superior are only useful if they keep water moving, so that is the standard we work to.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters. Give us those three things by phone or text and we will quote it on the spot, and that quote is what you pay.
Clean your gutters in late May to June, after the seed drop, and again in October or early November, after the last leaves come down. Across Wisconsin, most customers book those two windows. Skip the fall visit and the first freeze tends to show up as sag and ice at the eave by March.
Our cleaning services in Superior are booked by phone, and lead time depends on the calendar, so we confirm the date when you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we will tell you what is open. To get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. You get a clean set of photos that way. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout, flow-test it, and check that the water is flowing clean at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before we touch it.
On our jobs, guards keep the leaves out but the surface still collects needles, seed casings and grit, and that mat can block the flow. Guards do not end gutter maintenance, so we clear what sits on top and check that water is getting in.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout capacity, not a clog, and waiting only lets rot reach the fascia board. Catching it early keeps the home from water damage. Send us a photo or a short video during heavy rainfall and we will tell you what it is.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised and agreed to before the gutter cleaning process starts, and the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
