Our Gutter Cleaning Services
Complete hand cleaning
We pull every handful of leaves, pine straw, sweetgum balls, and roof grit by hand, bag it, and take it with us. No blowing debris into your beds.
Downspout flushing
Most overflow starts in a clogged downspout. We run water through every one to confirm it drains free from roof to ground.
Gutter guard cleaning
Got guards? We clean over and under them carefully without bending or breaking the system.
Two-story & steep roofs
Equipped and insured for taller Henrico and Chesterfield homes and tricky rooflines.
We also handle gutter repair, roof debris removal, and commercial gutter cleaning.
Why Richmond homeowners call us
Done by hand, done right. No leaf-blower shortcuts — we clean it out, bag it, and flush the system. Fully insured, so ladder and roof work is never on you. We show up when we say we will and leave the property tidy. And we are local to the area — we know Richmond’s trees, storms, and housing stock, from historic Fan homes to newer Short Pump builds.
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
Richmond’s tree canopy doesn’t wait for a schedule. If you notice any of these, your gutters are overdue:
Water pouring over the edges during rain. Overflow at the middle of a run usually means packed debris; overflow near a corner points to a clogged downspout. Either way, that water is landing against your foundation.
Plants growing out of the gutter. Sweetgum balls and oak tassels break down into compost — we regularly pull seedlings out of Richmond gutters.
Sagging or pulling away from the fascia. Wet debris is heavy. A loaded gutter run can weigh well over a hundred pounds and will slowly work its hangers loose.
Stains or streaks on siding below the gutter line. “Tiger striping” and green algae streaks are the trail overflow leaves behind.
Birds, squirrels, or mosquitoes taking an interest. Standing water and packed leaves make nesting material and breeding pools.
How Our Gutter Cleaning Service Works
1. Firm quote up front. Call or send the form — we quote from your address and roofline, and the number we give is the number you pay.
2. Hand cleaning, roof to ground. We clear every foot of gutter by hand — leaves, pine straw, sweetgum balls, shingle grit — and bag it as we go. No blowing debris onto your beds or driveway.
3. Every downspout flushed. Most overflow problems start inside a downspout where you can’t see them. We run water through each one until it flows freely at the ground.
4. Full cleanup and haul-away. Bagged debris leaves with us, walkways get rinsed, and we confirm the whole system drains before we pull out of the driveway.
When Should Richmond Gutters Be Cleaned?
Spring (April–May): Oak tassels and pollen mats come down hard across the Fan, Northside, and the West End — right before summer thunderstorm season tests your downspouts.
Fall (November–early December): The big one. Willow oaks, maples, and sweetgums drop late here — schedule after the bulk of the drop so gutters are clear going into winter rain.
Heavy canopy homes: If you’re under mature oaks in Bon Air, Tuckahoe, or Windsor Farms, a third cleaning in mid-summer keeps grit and tassels from hardening into a clog. Richmond’s clay-heavy soil doesn’t drain fast, so water dumped at the foundation by a clogged gutter tends to sit against the footing — keeping gutters flowing is the cheapest foundation protection you can buy.

What It Costs
Most gutter companies here will not publish a number. We think that mostly serves the company — if nobody publishes, you cannot tell a fair quote from a bad one.
- Single-story home — $150 to $250.
- Two-story home — $200 to $400.
- Larger properties — $350 to $600+.
- Guarded systems — $200 to $450, because the guards come off and go back on.

Five Questions Worth Asking Any Gutter Company
Not just us. If you are collecting quotes, these separate the crews who do this properly from the ones who do it fast.
- “How do you verify the downspouts?” The right answer involves checking flow at the discharge end. Running a hose in the top proves nothing.
- “Do you clear the roof first?” On a treed lot it matters. Cleaning a trough under a loaded roof means the next storm refills it.
- “Where does the debris go?” It should leave the property.
- “Do you use a ladder standoff?” Ladders resting on the gutter are the most common cause of the dented sections we get called back to repair.
- “Do you sell gutter guards?” We do not, deliberately. A company that sells them has a reason to tell you that you need them.
