Our crew cleans gutters in Two Rivers, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. On our jobs here, most customers book in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the same schedule each year so the work stays consistent.
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, how large it is and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but a per-foot rate hides the access work that eats the time on a job, so we do not price that way.
On our jobs, a few things move the price more than anything else. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground, and a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted leaves and buildup, which means more hours on the ladder. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. Leaves and debris removal, downspout flushing and flow testing are included and never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, such as structural damage to a fascia board that has started to rot, you hear about it and agree to it before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
Here is how the work looks on a recent job. The house sat on a corner lot with a heavy canopy over the back run, and the gutters had clogged downspouts, and one outlet was holding water against the foundation. The crew flushed every downspout, cleared the leaves from the gutter trough, and checked the drainage at each outlet until the water flow came out clean at the bottom. The estimate came from the stories, the size and the tree cover, and the price stayed where we gave it on the phone. You can see the full job here.
Most of the homes we work on are residential properties our crew knows well, and the scope stays the same from one house to the next. We take residential and commercial jobs too, and commercial properties are scoped on their own call because the access work is different. Call (866) 435-6328 for a price from your stories and size, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we see.

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 two cleanings a year. Across Wisconsin, the spring window runs late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit lands in late October to November, after the last leaves come down. In May we open the downspout elbows and find them packed with seeds and pollen paste. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and in Wisconsin the first hard freeze follows it quickly. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have seen runs sag under ice by March, which is why the late-fall clean matters here. If you only book once, clean your gutters before the freeze.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is what our crew sees on the schedule that keeps the gutters running, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and make a blockage, and a small leak at a seam can start fast. Lots with few trees, or only the odd twig dropping into the gutter, can go once a year in late fall. Homes near a busy road or active construction tend to need the shorter interval too. Gutter guards change the job but not the schedule by much; we still clear the surface and check the drainage at each visit, and we keep the run clean at the outlet.
Before the first visit we ask a few questions about the lot, and after it we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Gutter maintenance is on the calendar year-round in this area, and a regular gutter cleaning schedule keeps water away from your home and rainwater out of the eaves, where a clog starts. Our crew would rather set the right interval from the first visit than guess at one.
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 serves homeowners from the nearest base, and we offer cleaning services in Two Rivers WI, clearing homes and small buildings across Two Rivers. The gutter cleaning process starts with one call: dial (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we price it from your stories, your size and your tree cover. We call before we arrive and you do not need to be home, so the visit fits around your day. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and late fall, so booking early in those months gives you the most choice of dates.
Protect your home from water damage by keeping the gutter system open before the rains come, not after the first overflow, and keep your gutters clear of leaves all season. Across Wisconsin, summer severe storms bring heavy rainfall, and here the wettest months are June, July and August, with about 31.4 inches of precipitation a year. Our crew cleans homes and surrounding areas across the city, and Two Rivers gutter cleaning visits keep gutters and downspouts working through the wet months. For a homeowner who sees a leak or water pouring over the edge, a quick call is the fastest way to a clean run.
The number comes from your stories and your home's size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Cleaning and maintenance on a two-story house are priced the same way, so you know the full number before the crew starts. We do not give a range without those details, because a two-story home with heavy tree cover can take a very different amount of time than one without.
Across Wisconsin, late May or June is the usual spring window, and late October or November is the fall one. If you wait past the fall visit, we see sagged runs by March on the houses that skipped it, so the late-fall clean is the one we push hardest, whatever the landscape.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. We do not promise same-day service because the calendar fills fast in spring and late fall, so call early to get your gutters on the schedule.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see the gutters are clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we watch the water run 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 we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes, on our jobs guarded gutters still collect needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards at every visit.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than debris. 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.
It should not. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is and agree on the change before work continues. Our gutter services are priced that way on every visit.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
