Pricing

Single-story homes run $249–$299, two-story homes run $299–$399, and multi-level or steep-pitch roofs run $399–$499. The exact price depends on gutter length, roof height, and how much debris has built up — we confirm the number before starting, not after.

Costs vary by region and home size. In Buffalo, heavier tree coverage and steep winter roofs tend to push pricing toward the higher end of a typical range.

If your gutters already have guards installed, removing and reseating sections to clean underneath can add $20–$50. Heavy debris from a missed season may also add to the quote — we’ll always confirm before starting.

Scheduling & Frequency

Twice a year works for most Buffalo homes: once in late spring after seed pods and flowers drop, and once in late fall after leaves come down and before the first snow.

It depends on tree coverage and how your gutters are already draining. A home with little tree cover might only need a check once a year. A home near mature trees, common across North Buffalo and Elmwood Village, usually needs cleaning twice a year to avoid overflow and ice dam risk.

In most New York rental agreements, gutters count as part of the building structure, so cleaning them falls on the landlord, not the tenant. If gutters go uncleaned for years and cause water damage or mold, that liability sits with the landlord.

Safety & DIY

Not without the right ladder setup and experience. Most homeowners who try it end up either skipping hard-to-reach sections or risking a fall. This is one of the most common reasons people call a professional instead of doing it themselves.

On a single story home, a ladder-mounted gutter scoop or a leaf blower from the ground can clear light debris. For second story gutters or heavily packed debris, a ladder and hands-on clearing is the safer and more thorough option.

What’s Included

Yes. A gutter that’s pitched incorrectly won’t drain properly no matter how often it’s cleaned. We check pitch and attachment as part of every cleaning and flag it if something’s off, since that’s often the real cause of repeat overflow.

We do a visual check while we’re already up there. If we see signs of shingle damage, exposed nail heads, or anything that looks like a leak risk, we’ll point it out with photos so you know before it becomes a bigger repair.

We’ll stop, show you photos of what we found, and get your approval before doing any extra work. Our photo quotes are firm — we don’t add surprise charges.
