Gutter Cleaning That Includes the Part Everyone Else Skips

Scooping leaves is not gutter cleaning. We blow the roof first, hand-remove and bag the debris, flush the whole system, then test every downspout for flow. You get before and after photos with the invoice.

How Gutter Cleaning Works With Us

We are straight about this up front rather than after you have filled out a form. Find the line that describes you.

New Residential Customer

Gutters come with another service, not on their own

For new residential customers we include gutter cleaning alongside a house wash, roof cleaning, or concrete job rather than sending a crew out for gutters alone. One mobilization covering two services costs less than two separate trips, which is exactly why we can price gutters the way we do. Tell us what else needs attention and we will quote it together.

Existing Customer

Book gutters on their own, any time

If we have worked on your property before, gutter cleaning is available as a standalone visit whenever you need it. No package required, no minimum.

Request Service
HOA, Apartment or Commercial

Standalone and recurring, always available

Multi-building properties are quoted directly with no package requirement, one-time or on an annual or semi-annual schedule. Volume pricing and COI on request.

See Commercial Options

Why the package rule exists: a standalone residential gutter job barely covers the cost of getting a truck, ladders and a crew to your address. Bundling is what keeps the price fair instead of us charging a trip fee to make it work.

The Problem

What Clogged Gutters Actually Cost

Your gutter system moves thousands of gallons of rainwater away from your foundation every year. It is easy to ignore what you cannot see from the ground, and overflowing gutters are one of the most common causes of expensive home repairs.

Gutters packed with leaves and debris before professional gutter cleaning in Middle Tennessee
This is what most gutters look like by late November. You cannot see it from the ground.

It is easy to ignore what you cannot see

Nobody looks at their gutters. You look at the roofline from the driveway and everything seems fine, because a full gutter and an empty one look identical from below. The first sign is usually water sheeting over the front edge during a storm, and by then it has been overflowing onto the same patch of foundation for months.

That is the argument for scheduling by the calendar rather than by symptom. Late fall and late spring, whether or not anything looks wrong.

๐Ÿ Foundation Damage

Water overflowing a clogged gutter pools directly against your foundation instead of being carried away. Over enough seasons that causes cracking, leaking and settlement, which is the most expensive repair on this list by a wide margin.

What we do: flow-test every downspout so water actually reaches the ground away from the house.

๐ŸชตFascia and Roof Rot

Trapped water backs up under the shingle edge and soaks the wooden fascia behind the gutter. Fascia rot is quiet, it happens behind the gutter where nobody looks, and by the time it is visible the repair involves carpentry.

What we do: full flush rather than a scoop, so silt and shingle grit come out too.

๐ŸฆŸPests Move In

Damp decomposing leaves are ideal habitat for mosquitoes, ants, termites and rodents, sitting at roof level with direct access to your soffit and attic.

What we do: bag and haul the debris off site rather than dropping it in your beds.

๐Ÿ’งBasement and Crawlspace Water

A saturated foundation is the leading cause of a wet basement or crawlspace, and that brings mold remediation costs on top of the water damage itself.

What we do: confirm the whole system drains, not just that the trough looks clean.

โ„Ice Dams in Winter

Debris holds water, water freezes, ice expands. That is enough force to bend gutters, pull hangers out of the fascia and push meltwater back under your shingles into the attic.

What we do: a late fall clean is specifically about entering winter with an empty, free-draining system.

โš The Ladder Itself

Falls from ladders send tens of thousands of people to emergency rooms in the US every year, and gutter work is one of the most common reasons homeowners are up one. A saved service fee is a poor trade for a broken hip.

What we do: this is our job, we are set up for it, and we are insured with a COI available on request.

The Method

Our 5-Step Gutter Cleaning Process

We do not just scoop out the leaves and leave. Every step below happens on every job, and it is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The downspout is the part that matters

A gutter that looks spotless from a ladder is still a clogged system if the downspout is packed. That is where debris compacts, and it is the single most common thing a cheap gutter service skips because it cannot be seen from the trough.

We test every downspout for free flow before we call the job done. If one is blocked we clear it, then test it again.

Clearing and flow testing a downspout during professional gutter cleaning
Clearing a downspout, step four of five.
1

Roof & Valley Blowout

Blowers clear loose leaves and debris off the roof and out of the valleys first, so it cannot wash straight back into the gutters we are about to clean.

2

Hand Removal

Heavy debris comes out by hand, gets bagged, and leaves with us. Nothing is dropped into your landscaping or left in a pile by the driveway.

3

Full System Flush

With the bulk gone, we flush the entire run with water to move the silt and shingle grit that causes the slow, long-term blockages nobody notices.

4

Downspout Flow Test

Every single downspout gets tested for free flow from roof to ground. A clean trough with a blocked downspout is still a clogged system.

5

Cleanup & Photo Proof

We rinse any splatter off the siding, clean up after ourselves, and send before and after photos with the invoice so you can see the work you paid for.

Timing Matters

When to Schedule Gutter Cleaning in Middle Tennessee

Two windows do most of the work here. Cleaning at the right time prevents damage instead of just clearing a backlog, and it makes the service worth more per dollar.

๐Ÿ‚Late Fall

Late November to early December ยท most critical

This is the most important gutter cleaning of the year in Tennessee. Once the oaks, maples and hickories finish dropping, your gutters hold a full season of debris. Cleaning after the leaves are down, not during, is what matters.

Clogged gutters going into winter are the primary cause of ice dams. Trapped water and debris freeze, expand, and put serious force on gutters and roofline. That bends gutters, pulls hangers out of the fascia, damages shingles and pushes meltwater back into the attic and walls. A single ice dam can cost thousands to repair.

What this cleaning accomplishes

  • Removes the full leaf drop from oaks, maples and hickories
  • Clears pine needles and small twigs from the trough
  • Confirms downspouts run free for winter melt-off
  • Prevents the conditions ice dams need to form

๐ŸŒทLate Spring

Late May to early June ยท the refresh

The second window is after the pollen and seed drop finishes. Spring puts an enormous volume of pollen, seeds, maple helicopters and oak tassels into your gutters, and it is finer and heavier than leaves.

Combined with spring thunderstorms, that fine debris turns into a dense sludge that blocks downspouts as effectively as any pile of leaves. Clearing it means your system can actually handle the sudden summer downpours we get here. An overflow in July saturates the ground beside your foundation at the worst possible time.

What this cleaning accomplishes

  • Flushes out pollen, seeds and tree tassels
  • Clears shingle grit and winter silt from the trough
  • Prepares the system for heavy summer thunderstorms
  • Keeps water moving away from the foundation year round

Heavy tree coverage usually means both windows. A property with little canopy can often get by with the fall clean alone, and we will tell you which one you are rather than selling you two.

Property Managers & HOAs

Gutter Cleaning for Multi-Building Properties

For property managers, HOA boards and facility operators, gutter cleaning is asset protection and risk management rather than a chore. Commercial work is quoted directly with no package requirement.

๐Ÿข

Multi-Building & HOA Work

Whole apartment communities, HOA neighborhoods, school and church campuses. Volume pricing, one consolidated quote across every building, and scheduling sequenced so residents keep access throughout.

๐Ÿ›ก

Safety & Documentation

We are Aerial Lift Certified for high-reach work and follow OSHA fall-protection protocols including harnesses. Insured, with a Certificate of Insurance available on request naming your management company or HOA.

๐Ÿ“…

Recurring Maintenance Plans

Annual or semi-annual schedules so gutters are handled before anyone has to notice they were not. Removes the seasonal scheduling scramble and gives you a documented, budgetable line item.

What large properties actually need from a contractor

Managing a portfolio brings problems standard residential service is not equipped for. Multi-story elevations, complicated rooflines and sheer volume all require the right equipment, real safety protocol and the logistics to execute without disrupting the site.

  • Operational continuity: for apartment communities in Franklin and Brentwood, crews work building by building with clear communication so residents are never blocked in.
  • Flexible scheduling: schools, churches and medical buildings get work scheduled around operating hours rather than the other way around.
  • Documented completion: before and after photos per building, so you can show ownership or a board exactly what was done.
  • One point of contact: you talk to the person accountable for the work, not a dispatcher.

See our property management page for the full scope of what we handle across a portfolio.

Worth Hiring Out

Why Professional Gutter Cleaning Is Different

It is a dirty job done at height, and the difference between a professional service and a Saturday afternoon is mostly in the parts nobody thinks about.

๐ŸฆตStandoffs on Every Ladder

A ladder leaned straight against a gutter dents the trough and bends the hanger. Standoffs put the load on the roof or fascia instead, which is why our ladders never touch your gutters.

๐Ÿ“ทProof, Not Assurances

You cannot see your own gutters from the ground, which is exactly why photo documentation comes standard. You see what it looked like and what it looks like now.

โฑYou Do Not Need to Be Home

Access to the exterior is all we need. We handle it start to finish and send photos when we are done, so it does not cost you a day off.

๐Ÿ’ณInsured, COI on Request

If someone is on a ladder at your property, that liability should not be yours. We carry coverage and provide a certificate on request for HOAs and commercial clients.

๐Ÿ—‘Debris Leaves With Us

Bagged and hauled off site. Not dumped behind the shed, not left in your yard waste bin for you to deal with on Tuesday.

๐Ÿ”We Tell You What We See

Up there we notice loose hangers, separated seams, rot behind the trough and roof issues. You get told about them whether or not we are the ones who can fix it.

Gutter Cleaning FAQ

Gutter cleaning runs $1.00 to $1.50 per linear foot of guttering. Most single-story homes have 120 to 180 linear feet, putting them at roughly $120 to $270. Two-story homes typically run 160 to 240 linear feet, or about $160 to $360. Height, access, roof pitch and how long it has been since the last cleaning all affect where you land.

If you are an existing customer, yes, any time. For new residential customers we include gutter cleaning alongside another service such as a house wash, roof cleaning or concrete work rather than sending a crew out for gutters alone. The honest reason is that a standalone residential gutter job barely covers getting a truck, ladders and a crew to your address, and bundling is what keeps the price fair instead of adding a trip fee. HOA, apartment and commercial properties are quoted directly with no package requirement.

Late fall and late spring. Late November to early December is the most critical, once oaks, maples and hickories have finished dropping, because it prevents the ice dams that clogged gutters cause in winter. Late May to early June is the second window, clearing the pollen, seeds and tassels that turn into a dense sludge and block downspouts during summer thunderstorms. Heavy tree coverage usually means both. Light canopy can often get by with the fall clean alone.

Because of ice. Debris in the trough holds water, that water freezes and expands, and the force is enough to bend gutters, pull hangers out of the fascia, damage shingles and push meltwater back under the roof edge into your attic and walls. A single ice dam can cost thousands to repair. Going into winter with an empty, free-draining system is the whole point of the fall service.

If you have significant tree coverage, yes. Spring drops a huge volume of pollen, seeds, maple helicopters and oak tassels, and that fine material combines with rain into a heavy sludge that clogs downspouts as effectively as leaves do. Clearing it before summer means your system can handle the sudden downpours we get here without overflowing next to your foundation. On a property with little canopy, the fall clean is often enough, and we will say so.

Ladder standoffs on every ladder, every time. A ladder leaned directly against a gutter dents the trough and bends the hanger, which is one of the most common ways gutters get damaged during cleaning. Standoffs transfer the load to the roof or fascia so nothing rests on the gutter itself. We also rinse any splatter off the siding before we leave.

Yes. Everything is bagged and leaves with us. Nothing gets dropped in your landscaping, piled by the driveway, or stuffed into your yard waste bin for you to deal with later. We rinse the exterior and clean up after ourselves as part of the job, not as an extra.

No. As long as we have access to the exterior of the house and to an outdoor water spigot, we can complete the service while you are at work. You get before and after photos with the invoice either way, which is the point of documenting it.

Guards reduce how often gutters need attention but they do not eliminate it. Fine debris, shingle grit and pollen still get through and settle in the trough, and the guards themselves collect material on top. To clean underneath properly the guards have to come off and go back on, which we quote on site because cost depends entirely on the type installed. Some systems come off easily, others do not.

Yes. We are Aerial Lift Certified for high-reach work and follow OSHA fall-protection protocols including harnesses. We do not use unsafe workarounds like climbing steep roofs to reach a gutter line. Multi-building properties are sequenced building by building so residents keep access, and you get photo documentation per building for ownership or your board.

Yes. Entire HOA communities, apartment complexes and property management portfolios get volume pricing and a single consolidated quote covering every building, rather than a stack of individual invoices. We can also put you on an annual or semi-annual schedule so it stops being something anyone has to remember.

Yes. We carry general liability and workers compensation coverage, and we provide a Certificate of Insurance on request naming your property management company or HOA. If someone is on a ladder at your property, that liability should sit with us rather than with you.
