Gutter Cleaning in Alpharetta
Full gutters do not announce themselves. They rot your fascia and dump rainwater against the foundation while you are busy not thinking about them. The first sign for most people is a waterfall over the front door during a storm, and by then the wood behind the gutter has been wet for a year.
We clear every run by hand, flush the downspouts, haul the debris off, and send you photos of what was up there.
What gutter cleaning costs
Every home is different, so we price by what the ladder work actually takes.
We always come out, look at the house with you, and agree on the price before any work starts.
UP TO
$1,000,000
General liability coverage protects your home the entire visit.
What heavy buildup looks like
This Alpharetta home was full front to back. A clean like this runs about $350, and it came with a photo report of everything we found up there.
Three stories is our ladder limit
That is Kevin at the top of our extension ladder, third-story height. That is as high as gutter cleaning goes on a ladder.
Anything taller means roof access with a harness. More liability, its own quote. Not sure which your house is? Text a photo of the tallest side to 770-605-1553 and we tell you straight.
Why is there a range?
- Stories. Taller ladders take longer to set and move.
- Tree cover. Pine straw mats in and holds water like a sponge.
- Time since the last clean. Years of buildup is real digging.
- Gutter guards. We pull them, clean underneath, and reset them.
What's included
- Every gutter run cleared by hand, not blown out with a leaf blower
- Downspouts flushed until water moves like it should
- Debris bagged and hauled off your property
- A photo report of anything up there that needs attention
We bag the debris instead of dropping it in the beds. Wet gutter sludge kills plants and stains concrete, and raking it out of pine straw is its own afternoon.
What a clogged gutter actually costs
Water that cannot move goes somewhere. Three places, in order of expense.
The fascia board first. It sits right behind the gutter and stays wet, and rotted fascia means the gutter loses its anchor. Replacing a run of fascia and rehanging the gutter costs more than a decade of cleanings.
Then the foundation. A blocked downspout dumps the runoff from an entire roof plane at one corner of the house. In this clay soil that means settling, and settling means the cracks you start noticing in the drywall upstairs.
Then the basement. Water pooling at the foundation finds its way in. Most of the wet-basement calls in North Fulton start at a gutter, not a crack.
When to clean them
Twice a year for most homes here. Late fall after the leaves finish dropping, and spring after the seed pods and pine straw come down.
Heavy tree cover earns a third visit. If you have pines within reach of the roof, the straw mats into the gutter and holds water like a sponge, and that is the worst version of the problem because it never dries out.
About gutter guards
Guards slow the problem down. They do not end it. Fine debris still washes through and settles into a layer at the bottom of the trough, and pine needles mat on top of mesh until water cannot get in at all.
If you have guards, plan on cleaning every other year instead of twice a year. We pull the guards, clean underneath, and put them back.

Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, $200.
Do you clean three-story gutters?
Yes, up to extension-ladder height. Taller than that means harness work on the roof, which we quote separately.
Do we agree on the price first?
Always. We look at the house with you and settle the price before any work starts.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes. Heavy tree cover earns a third visit.
Do I need to be home?
No. If we can reach the gutters, you can be anywhere. The photo report lands in your text messages either way.
I have gutter guards. Still needed?
Yes. Guards slow the clog down, they do not stop it. Every other year is usually right.
What if the gutters have never been cleaned?
That is most first visits. It takes longer and the price reflects it, and you get the photo report on the fascia condition, which is the part worth knowing.
