Our own crew cleans gutters for Waukesha homeowners, flushes every downspout, flow-tests the run and hauls the debris off the property. Each run gets cleared until the water comes out clean at the outlet, and that is how we help protect your home from water damage. You get 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 is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book this gutter cleaning service. Most of our Waukesha customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall have finished filling the troughs.
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 how much leaves and debris are sitting in the gutters. We quote it by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A clog and a heavy buildup both add time, and so does a sag in the run. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per foot once the job is measured. The same stories-and-size logic applies to residential and commercial properties. Nothing changes after the quote unless the crew finds something that changes the job, and in that case you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted leaves, and that takes longer to clear than a run that was cleaned last fall. Water left in a packed trough can rot the fascia behind it, and a gutter system that stays full for years costs more to clean than one kept up. Clogged downspouts take longer to flush than open ones, and each one gets checked at the outlet. Gutter guards we have to lift, clean underneath and reseat add time. A run that has pulled loose from the fascia is structural damage, not a cleaning job, and we report it rather than price it on the spot. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras.
Here is what we have seen on Waukesha homes. Where a back run has sat since the previous fall, the clog is usually the whole story: the leaves and grit are packed hard, the crew clears the gutter by hand and flushes the drain until the water runs clean at the outlet. That is the kind of job where the drainage has to be checked end to end. The quote was built from the stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and the number on the invoice matches it.
Our crew also reports what sits outside the scope of cleaning. A sag in a run, a pulled hanger or a leak at a seam is photographed and reported to you, not repaired and not sold on the spot. A rain gutter that is clean but still sheets water means the water flow is off, and we say so in writing. Water away from your home depends on the whole system working, and that is why we check where every drain empties. Gutter cleaning services are priced to the job at hand, and the same crew that flushes the system is the one that tells you what the photos show.
| 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 Waukesha WI customers book two cleanings a year. Across Wisconsin, the spring visit falls in 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 finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows at the bottom of each drop, with the odd twig wedged in on top. The fall visit finds the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we find the runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the time the snow is gone. With about 37 inches of snow a year, a gutter that is not cleared before winter can form an ice dam at the eave, and the trapped water finds its way under the shingles. Clean your gutters before the ground freezes, and the trapped water has nowhere to go.
Under heavy tree cover, our customers book every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the elbows between visits and the clog builds faster than the rainwater can move it. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets the same schedule, because the dust keeps the gutter from staying clean. June, July and August are the wettest months here, and across Wisconsin summer severe storms push leaves and grit into the troughs, so any clog left over gets tested by the summer heavy rainfall. With few or no trees, one cleaning a year in late fall is enough for most roofs, and the roofline stays clear of blockage through the winter. Debris removal is included in every visit, so the bags leave with the crew and the yard is left clean. Guards mean less cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still has to be cleared, because pollen and roof grit settle on top of the guard.
When we open a gutter here in May we look at the seed load first, and when we open one in November we look at how much of the leaf mat is still wet. A gutter that comes out clean in May is rare on a house with trees, so the seed load is the first thing we check. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and regular gutter maintenance is planned from that. That is the estimate we give, based on what we found in the gutter, not on a schedule that suits the company. Residential properties and commercial buildings both follow the same logic, and our gutter cleaning service sets regular gutter cleaning dates around the season rather than around our calendar.
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.
We clean gutters across Waukesha from the nearest base. Our cleaning services in Waukesha cover the whole city rather than one neighborhood at a time, and our gutter services run the same way. Every homeowner gets the same gutter cleaning process: you give us the stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the front of the house by text if that is easy. Booking Waukesha gutter cleaning with us is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text, and we quote and confirm a date in the same call. Lead times depend on the season, and our calendar fills in the two busy windows of spring and fall, so get your gutters booked early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the outside of the house, keeps ladder feet off the landscape beds, and will flush every downspout on the way. Photos of every run and outlet go to your phone before the truck leaves. For an owner in the surrounding areas, the process is the same: one quote, one date, and a set of photos afterward that show the gutters as they were left. Our goal is to keep your gutters clean between visits, and the photos are how you check that gutter maintenance is holding up. Each visit leaves the yard as clean as it found it, and the water is moved away from your home.
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 put a figure on this page, because those two details set the number for each house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the exact number before you agree to anything.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, because those are the months when seed, pollen and leaves are filling the gutters. Get your gutters clean before the first hard freeze. If you wait past the fall, the wet leaf mat and the first ice can leave runs sagging by March, and water left in the trough can rot the fascia behind it.
We do not promise same-day slots. Our cleaning services in Waukesha are booked by phone or text, and the date is confirmed on the same call.
No. Our gutter cleaning process is outside only: we do not come inside, and we send photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. The crew leaves the landscape as clean as it found it. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet is flushed and we check that water leaves at the drain end, which is what moves it away from your home. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs gutter guards keep leaves out of the gutter system, but needles, seed casings and grit settle on top, so the surface still has to be cleared and the outlet checked. Guards cut down on cleaning and maintenance, but they do not end gutter maintenance.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video during heavy rainfall, and we will 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 it and agree to it before they start.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
