Gutter Cleaning in Memphis, TN

Our full visit covers your whole gutter system. Our technician scoops debris from the entire gutter run by hand and bags the waste for disposal. We flush downspouts with water to confirm they flow freely. If your gutters have covers, we lift them up to clean underneath and secure them when finished. We sweep up any loose debris around your property before leaving. Please note our limits: underground drain lines, roof repairs, and general gutter repair are not part of a standard cleaning visit.

To clear gutters, the cost depends on two main factors:

• Number of stories on your house
• Total linear feet of the gutter run

Here is our pricing as of September 2026:

• Single story, up to 150 linear feet: $229 to $329 per visit
• Two stories, up to 250 linear feet: $419 to $589 per visit
• Three stories, or any run over 250 feet: quoted per house

Add-on costs apply for special conditions. The first clogged downspout is included; each extra clogged downspout adds $25. Gutters untouched for two or more years add 10 to 50 percent ($75 to $140). Removing standard covers adds $75, up to $200 for screwed-down guards. Underground drain lines are not included. Request a quote or free estimate to get an exact estimate for your home. Our upfront price is set before anyone climbs.

Many home owners install gutter guards expecting to never clean their gutters again. While covers stop huge broadleaf debris, small pine needles, sweetgum balls, and shingle grit still slip through. Fine silt and oak pollen collect at the bottom of the gutter trough under the guard. This hidden sediment turns into sludge that blocks downspouts. When we service a house with covers, our crew takes off the guards, clears out the trapped muck, and puts the covers back in place.

When clogged gutters overflow during sudden mid-South storms, water collects around your home. The main threat is water at the foundation and in the basement. Pooling water leaks into baseline cracks, causing severe water damage to lower structural framing. Overflown rain also rots wooden fascia boards holding the metal brackets. In freezing winter nights, standing water expands inside metal joints, breaking downspouts off the wall. Neglecting regular drainage maintenance leads to costly repairs for your foundation and siding that far exceed the cost of professional routine care.

We recommend a routine schedule to clean your gutters twice a year in Memphis. The first visit should happen in late spring after sweetgum trees finish dropping pollen and seed pods. The second, critical visit belongs in late November, right after leaf drop peaks around late October from mature oaks and maples. Sticking to this biannual schedule stops winter overflows when temperatures drop below freezing. Proper seasonal gutter maintenance protects your home against heavy mid-South downpours year-round.

A standard visit takes one to three hours, depending on roof height and lineal footage. Here is our six-step process:

• The technician inspects the roofline from the ground.
• The crew sets up padded ladders securely against the wall.
• We hand-scoop all organic waste out of the gutter channel.
• We clear downspout openings and flush each drain line with water.
• The crew reattaches any loose guards or brackets.
• We clean up ground debris and conduct a final walkthrough inspection with you.

Sweetgum trees cause the biggest mess for Memphis home owners. Their hard, spiky seed balls drop heavily into gutters, lodging tight in downspout outlets. We also pull out thick mats of red maple leaves, tulip poplar blossoms, oak acorns, and sticky loblolly pine needles. In spring, oak pollen forms a mud-like slurry in the trough. Left untouched, this organic trash creates dense plugs that hold water and strain gutter hangers.

You can spot gutter trouble from the ground without climbing up:

• Rain pours over the edge of the metal like a waterfall during standard rainstorms.
• Downspout outlets stay dry or show only a trickle while gutters overflow above.
• Green moss, weeds, or pine seedlings start sprouting out of the top of the trough.

If you notice any of these signs, your system has a heavy clog and needs attention to clear downspout passages.

Homes in this area range from historic brick bungalows in Midtown to modern multi-story developments near Germantown. Many properties feature wide asphalt shingle roofs with steep pitches that push water rapidly toward aluminum seamless gutters. Setting up ladders safely requires care along brick facades, wooden siding, and uneven garden beds. Our experienced crew uses proper ladder stand-offs so we never rest heavy equipment directly against fragile vinyl siding or decorative trim.

Attempting to clean gutters yourself brings serious risks. Falls from ladders send thousands of people to the emergency room every year, and gutter cleaning means long stretches of reaching from a ladder. Reaching around wide roof overhangs while standing high on a ladder is balance-testing work. Wet oak leaves and pine needles make ladder steps slick and dangerous. Hiring a professional gutter cleaner eliminates personal safety risks. A trained professional brings specialized gear to work comfortably at height, leaving your ladders safely stored in the garage.

Commercial properties, including apartment complexes, retail strips, and warehouses, face unique drainage demands. Larger roof surface areas require high-capacity gutters to manage heavy rain runoff. Because commercial building designs, roof access points, and story heights vary widely, we quote these jobs per property. We tailor each quote after inspecting the site layout, ensuring accurate pricing for business owners.
