Gutters are easy to forget when they are doing their job. Rain lands on the roof, moves through the downspouts, and disappears where it should. Then a heavy Madison rain reveals water spilling over one section. Or perhaps you notice leaves, dark runoff marks, or even a small plant peeking over the roofline.
At that point, the problem is obvious. What may be less clear is how extensive it is. You should not have to climb a ladder to figure out whether the gutters need a routine cleaning or a more thorough service. A professional can take a closer look, determine what the system needs, and give you a clearer idea of the cost.
Our professional gutter cleaning in the Madison area starts at $199 for basic service and $379 for premium service. Basic service is designed for routine debris removal. Premium service adds a full power flush of the gutters and downspouts so we can confirm that water is moving through the system. Larger homes, difficult access, long gutter runs, and heavier buildup may require a project-specific price.
Below, we explain what each service includes, when the premium option may be worthwhile, and which details can move your final quote.
Most homeowners aren’t sure which level of gutter cleaning they need, and we don’t expect you to diagnose the system from the ground. Our two service levels are designed for different situations. Basic service handles routine debris removal, while premium service includes a more complete check that water can move through the gutters and downspouts.
Here is the simplest way to think about the starting prices:
Basic gutter cleaning starts at $199. This is generally the right fit for routine maintenance when the gutters need to be cleared of leaves, twigs, and loose debris. We clean them by hand, haul away what we remove, and check the downspouts for visible clogs.
Premium gutter cleaning starts at $379. This option includes the basic cleaning plus a full power flush of the gutters and downspouts. It may be the better choice if you have seen water overflow, suspect a blockage, have heavy tree cover, or want us to verify the system is draining after cleaning.
Larger or more complex homes receive a project-specific price. Extra gutter length, multiple stories, difficult access, gutter guards, or unusually heavy buildup can add time and may require different equipment or a different process to complete the work safely.
These prices give you a useful place to start, but you do not need to choose a package before you call us. Tell us what you have noticed and what you know about the home’s cleaning history. We will help you determine whether the basic service is enough or whether the premium service would give you a more complete answer about how the system is draining.
Our basic service is intended for routine maintenance when the primary need is removing leaves, twigs, seed pods, and other loose debris.
It includes:
For a home that has been cleaned regularly and has not shown signs of slow drainage or persistent overflow, this may be all that is needed.
The important word is may. A gutter can look clear at the top while compacted material remains farther down a downspout. If you have noticed water spilling over, a downspout that drains slowly, or a section that repeatedly backs up, the premium service offers a more complete drainage check.
Our premium service includes everything in the basic package, plus a full power flush of the gutters and downspouts. The flush does more than make the visible gutter look clean. It helps us confirm that water can travel through the system rather than stopping at a hidden obstruction.
Premium service may make more sense when:
You do not need to choose a package before contacting us. Whether you have noticed a specific problem or simply want routine maintenance, tell us what is going on and we will help you choose the appropriate service.
Two homes can have similar square footage and very different gutter systems. A one-story home with open access and a simple roofline is not the same job as a tall home with several roof sections, narrow side yards, and gutters beneath dense tree cover.
The factors most likely to affect the price are:
More linear feet of gutter require more cleaning time. A large footprint, attached garage, porch, or multiple roof sections can add gutter length even when the home’s finished square footage does not seem unusually high.
Additional stories, sloped ground, tight side yards, landscaping, decks, and other obstacles can change how we safely reach the gutters. Access affects setup time as well as the cleaning itself.
Dormers, additions, multiple elevations, and intersecting rooflines often create more gutter sections and downspouts. Each section has to be reached and cleared.
A light layer of dry leaves is different from compacted organic material that has been sitting through several seasons. Homes beneath mature trees may also collect seed pods, needles, and small twigs at different times of year.
A visible gutter cleaning may not resolve a blockage deeper in the drainage path. If a downspout needs flushing to restore flow, the premium service is usually the more appropriate fit.
Gutter guards can reduce some types of debris, but they do not make every system maintenance-free. Depending on the design, we may need additional access or removal steps to clean beneath them. We will account for that before work begins rather than treating it as a surprise at the end.

For many Madison-area homes, we recommend checking and cleaning gutters in the spring and fall. Spring service clears material left by winter and early tree activity. Fall service removes leaves before freezing weather arrives.
The right schedule depends on the property. A home with limited tree cover may need less frequent service, while a wooded lot may benefit from an additional cleaning when seeds, blossoms, needles, or leaves are falling heavily. We would rather help you choose a sensible cadence than put every home on the same schedule.

Often, yes. If you are also planning window cleaning, house washing, or another exterior service, let us know when you request the estimate. Coordinating services may reduce repeat setup and make scheduling easier, but the scope and price depend on the property and the work being completed. We will show you the options rather than promise a one-size-fits-all discount.
We have maintained homes in southern Wisconsin since 1953. That experience has taught us that homeowners usually do not need a dramatic warning or a complicated package. They need someone to look at the actual conditions, explain what is necessary, and do the work with care.
When you contact us, we will ask about the home, what you have noticed, and when the gutters were last cleaned. From there, we can recommend basic service, premium service, or a project-specific estimate for a larger or more complex system. You will know what the service includes before the work begins.
If you are still deciding whether to hire a professional, read Protecting Your Home With Professional Gutter Cleaning. It explains the safety and home-maintenance benefits of professional service.
If you are seeing overflow, cannot remember the last cleaning, or simply want the gutters handled before the next stretch of rough weather, we can help you choose the right level of service.
Request a roof and gutter cleaning estimate and tell us a little about the home. We will help you understand the scope, the price, and what the system needs, so you do not have to diagnose it from the ground.
A. Our gutter cleaning starts at $199 for basic service and $379 for premium service. Larger or more complex homes may require a project-specific estimate based on gutter length, height, access, roofline, debris, and downspout condition.

A. Premium service includes the basic cleaning plus a full power flush of the gutters and downspouts. The flush helps us verify that water can move through the drainage system.
A. Extra gutter length, multiple stories, difficult access, a complex roofline, gutter guards, heavy buildup, or a larger number of gutter and downspout sections can increase the scope of the job.
A. For many Madison-area homes, spring and fall are sensible times to clean the gutters. Homes with little tree cover may need service less often, while heavily wooded properties may need an additional cleaning during a high-debris season.
A. Not always. Guards can reduce some debris, but smaller material may still collect on or beneath them, and downspouts can still need attention. The guard design and the trees around the home determine the maintenance required.
A. Often, yes. Tell us which exterior services you are considering when you request the estimate. We can determine whether coordinating them makes sense and provide pricing for the actual scope rather than applying an unsupported blanket discount.
