Our own crew will clean the gutter system on houses in town, 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 is over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work for every homeowner on our spring and fall visits, and we keep the same crew on the ladder each time so you know who is at the house.
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. Gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but on a house with a lot of corners that is not how the job is priced in the end. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep pitch that cannot be walked means the crew sets a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that changes the time up top. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted leaves, and that takes longer to clear than a gutter kept clean every spring and fall. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs the homes that come in with the most work are the older Laramie homes with a long run of gutter on a low slope, where leaves and debris have sat in the trough through several seasons. In those houses the clog is usually at the outlet, the water flow stops well before the end of the run, and when that happens behind a sag the fascia takes the damage and a leak starts at the joint. We have seen the same buildup on commercial properties in town, and on residential properties where the drainage backs up the same way. The rule we apply is the same on every job: if clogged downspouts are holding water against the wall, we flush them until the water runs clear at the bottom and drains water away from the house, and we tell you what we found. Where a rain gutter is pulling off the house because of structural damage, we photograph it and report it, and we do not repair it.
Here we are not going to name a client or a street without a supplied case, so the examples stay general. What we can say is that the three things you tell us on the phone, the stories, the size and the tree cover, cover most of what drives the number. Send the photo of the front of the house by text and we can see the rest, including whether the runs need a full clean or only a flush.
| 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 homeowners book twice a year. Across Wyoming, spring visits usually land in late June to July, after seed and pollen drop, and fall visits in September to early October, after the last leaves. Laramie WY gets about 14.5 inches of precipitation a year, and May, June and July are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall lands on a gutter that is already full. When we open a gutter in May or June and it is not clean, we find seeds, seed casings, pollen paste and the odd twig packed into the elbows of each downspout, enough to form a clog before the summer storms. In the fall we find the leaf load, and because freeze risk is high here, the first ice is already forming at the eave on houses that skipped the fall visit. We have seen runs that sag or pull loose by March on those houses, because rainwater sat in the trough through the freeze and the weight of the ice took the hangers down with it.
Regular gutter cleaning is simple to plan. Two cleanings a year cover most houses, and that is the schedule most homeowners keep. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or a construction site where grit blows in, the gutters go on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits and the blockage builds faster than the trough can carry it off. A house with few or no trees and a bare landscape around it is on once a year in late fall, and that is enough for most of them. Guards take the work down a notch, but they do not end it, so we still clean the surface and check the run underneath.
We do not give a case here because we do not have a supplied local case to put in front of you. Treat the tiers as gutter maintenance, not a one-off job. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and that is the schedule we keep to, so you do not have to remember when to clean your gutters.
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 the town from the nearest base, and we work across the whole area, not a single part of it, along with the surrounding areas. Booking a gutter cleaning service starts with a quote by phone or text from the stories, the size and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy for you. Lead time is set by the calendar on the day you call, and we confirm the date with you when we book the clean. We call before we come, and a homeowner does not need to be home for the visit. The two busiest windows on our calendar are the late spring and the early fall visits, so those fill first.
Our gutter services cover residential and commercial work on the same route, and we clean residential properties and commercial buildings alike. The crew can keep your gutters and downspouts clear through the season whether it is a single house or a larger building. For a homeowner the aim is to protect your home from water damage at the eave and foundation, and to keep water away from the wall. For a commercial site the aim is the same with more gutter and more downspout runs to work through. Whichever it is, the cleaning and maintenance visit comes with photos of every run.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote Laramie gutter cleaning without those, because two-story houses vary a lot with the roof pitch and the tree cover over them.
Across Wyoming, spring visits run late June to July and fall visits September to early October, which is when to clean your gutters before seed drop and the first freeze. If you wait past the fall visit, the leaf load sets into the downspout and ice builds at the eave, and that is when we see runs sag by March.
Same-day depends on the day you call. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call so you know when the crew is coming. Our cleaning services in Laramie are booked by phone or text.
No. The gutter cleaning process is outside work: the crew keeps the ladders away from your home, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the drainage is carrying water away at the outlet, and we leave the run clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under gutter guards on our jobs across Laramie we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top and packed underneath, so the surface still needs a clean and the run still has to be checked.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall, that is a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we will not sell a second cleaning for it.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before the crew starts, and you agree to it first. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar and we will put the estimate in writing.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
