Starting at $220.

Gutter cleaning is one of the most requested services in Carmichael for a simple reason: the mature oak canopy that gives the area its character also means heavier, leathery leaf litter that clogs gutters and downspouts faster than the finer leaves common in newer, less-treed neighborhoods. Homes tucked under a full canopy near Carmichael Park and Old Carmichael need it most often.

Leaves blow out. Roots do not. That distinction is most of what sets the price of a gutter visit: dry leaf litter is cleared quickly with a blower, but once grass has taken hold in the trough and put down a root system, no amount of air moves it and the trough has to be emptied by hand. That takes longer and costs more, and it is worth knowing before you are surprised by a quote. While we are up there we handle the small repairs rather than leaving you to book someone else for them — re-sealing a seam that has started to weep, tightening a bracket that has pulled away from the fascia, fitting guards over the trough so the next season drops less into it. What a visit costs depends on the linear footage of gutter, the height of the house, the pitch of the roof, whether guards are already fitted, and how much has collected up there and in what form. Short runs bottom out at a $220 minimum: reaching your roofline safely is the same setup whether there are forty feet of gutter up there or a hundred and forty, and the price only starts climbing past that point.

Oak leaves are heavier and slower to break down than most other leaf litter, so gutters under a full canopy here get checked and cleared more often than the valley average.

Included in the price

  • Clearing the full run of gutters — leaves cleared with a blower, root growth removed by hand

  • Small repairs on the spot: re-sealing seams, tightening brackets
  • Fitting gutter guards, if you want them
  • Debris removed from site

Not included

  • Replacing gutter sections or fascia — that is a roofing job, not a cleaning one
  • Roof cleaning itself — that is a separate service with a different method
  • Repainting gutters

Optional add-ons

  • Gutter guards fitted over the trough

How we do Gutter Cleaning

  1. Tell us the approximate length of gutter and the height of the house; the price builds from linear footage plus the factors below.
  2. We look at what is in the trough first: leaf litter and root growth are different jobs at different prices.
  3. Leaves are blown clear; anything that has rooted comes out by hand.
  4. Downspouts are cleared, so the water has somewhere to go.
  5. Small repairs are done while we are up there — seams re-sealed, brackets tightened, guards fitted if you asked for them.

Cleared gutters and downspouts choked by mature trees, stopping the overflow that ran right past the front door.

We cleared the plant debris out of the gutters, ran the downspouts clear and checked that water passed through properly afterwards. Everything we took down was bagged and taken off the property.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my gutters clog so much faster than at my old house?

Oak leaves are heavier and take longer to break down than most leaf litter, so gutters under Carmichael's canopy fill up faster — it's one of the most common reasons homeowners here call us.

Do you serve all of Carmichael, or just certain neighborhoods?

All of Carmichael — Old Carmichael, Carmichael Park and Mission Oaks are all on our regular routes, and there's no travel surcharge for any of it.

Why do gutter quotes differ so much?

Leaves blow out. Roots do not. Dry leaf litter clears quickly with a blower, but once grass has taken hold in the trough and put down a root system, no amount of air moves it and the trough has to be emptied by hand.

How often should gutters be cleaned under heavy tree cover?

It depends on how much canopy is directly overhead — we can look at the specific trees on your lot and suggest an interval when we quote the job.

Does Carmichael's tree canopy affect pricing?

No — the rate is the same flat $55/hr per cleaner as everywhere else we serve. A heavily-treed lot can affect how long some services take, which we account for when we quote the job.

Do you handle small repairs while you are up there?

Yes, rather than leaving you to book someone else: re-sealing a seam that has started to weep, tightening a bracket that has pulled away from the fascia, fitting guards so the next season drops less into the trough.

What decides the price?

The linear footage of gutter, the height of the house, the pitch of the roof, whether guards are already fitted, and how much has collected up there — and in what form.

Is there a minimum?

Yes, $220. Reaching your roofline safely is the same setup whether there are forty feet of gutter up there or a hundred and forty; the price only starts climbing past that point.

Do you replace gutter sections?

No. Replacing sections or fascia is a roofing job, not a cleaning one. Roof cleaning itself is a separate service with a different method.
