Help Keep Rainwater Moving
Clear the Buildup Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem.
Leaves, sticks, seed pods and other debris can build up inside gutters and block the path water needs to reach the downspouts.
Gutter cleaning removes that material and helps restore usable space inside the system. Most gutters are cleaned by hand so I can see what is actually inside them and remove the debris in a controlled way.
If the gutters have been neglected and the material has turned into packed debris or sludge, water may be needed to finish clearing the gutter channel or downspout opening.
Why it’s worth doing: When gutters are packed with leaves and muck, rainwater has nowhere to go. It can spill over the edge, run down the siding, soak the trim and pool near the foundation. In a Wisconsin winter, water sitting in a clogged gutter can freeze and add weight and ice where you don’t want it. Getting the debris out lets the water use the path it was built for.

What’s Included in Gutter Cleaning?
Every gutter system is a little different, but the goal is simple: remove the debris, check the visible drainage path and leave the work area cleaned up.
Debris Removal
Leaves, sticks, seed pods and other loose buildup are removed from accessible gutter runs.
Flushout When Needed
Packed or decomposed material may need water to help clear the gutter channel and the opening into the downspout.
Downspout Flow Check
Above-ground downspouts are checked or flushed as needed to help confirm water can move through the visible system. Underground drain lines are not included unless specifically discussed.
Cleanup After Service
Removed material is collected and bagged on site as needed. Bagged debris is placed in your trash bin or another approved location on the property, and the affected work area is cleaned up before I leave.

The Person You Talk To Is the Person Doing the Work.
When you hire Timler Exterior Services for gutter cleaning, you work directly with me from the quote through completion.
I look at the roofline, gutter layout, ladder access and surrounding property before I start. If I notice a loose section, leaking seam or another visible issue while I’m already there, I’ll bring it to your attention.
Care Around Your Property
Clean the Gutters. Respect What’s Below Them.
Gutter cleaning means working above siding, windows, landscaping, patios and other parts of your property. I keep those areas in mind throughout the job.
Check Access
I look at ladder placement, landscaping, rooflines and other obstacles before beginning so I can work around the property carefully.
Remove the Debris
Hand removal is the standard method. Water is used when packed debris or the downspout opening needs additional clearing.
Check Flow & Clean Up
The visible drainage path is checked as needed and debris around the work area is collected before the service is finished.
Hand Cleaning Keeps the Process Controlled.
Cleaning by hand lets me see what is actually sitting in the gutter and remove loose material without unnecessarily sending debris around the property.
If the material has broken down into heavy sludge or become tightly packed, water may be used to finish clearing the gutter channel and downspout opening.
Small Issues Caught While I’m Already There
Minor Gutter Repairs May Be Possible.
Gutter cleaning also gives me a close look at parts of the system that are difficult to see from the ground. If I notice a small issue, I can let you know before it becomes a surprise.
Repairs Are Handled Case by Case.
Some minor problems can be addressed while I’m already onsite if the gutter and surrounding materials are in suitable condition.
I’ll discuss any additional work with you first. If the gutter needs more than a minor repair, I’ll recommend replacement or another provider rather than trying to patch something that is unlikely to hold up.
Reduce Routine Gutter Buildup
Want Less Debris Getting Into the Gutters?
I also install heavy-duty perforated aluminum gutter guards for homeowners who want to reduce the amount of leaves and larger debris entering the gutter system.
Gutter Guards Reduce Maintenance. They Don’t Replace It.
A good gutter guard system can reduce how much debris enters the gutter while still allowing rainwater to pass through.
Leaves, needles and other material can still collect on top of guards or in roof valleys, so occasional inspection may still be helpful.

What Affects Gutter Cleaning Pricing?
Gutter systems vary in height, layout, access and condition. Instead of publishing a broad price range that may not fit your home, I price the actual gutter system and service needed at the property.
Pricing is based on factors such as the home height, gutter layout and total amount of gutter, ladder access, debris condition and whether gutter guards or other access challenges are present.

Straightforward From the Start
Easy to Quote.
Easy to Schedule.
Most gutter-cleaning jobs can be quoted from your property address and a few basic details. If guards, access or part of the gutter system is difficult to see, I may ask you for a photo before I confirm the price.
Request Your Quote
Send your address and let me know about any known drainage concerns. If you also have a detached garage or shed with gutters, mention it. Those are quoted separately. Have gutter guards? I can remove them to clean and reinstall them for an added fee. Just let me know when you request a quote so it’s listed in your estimate.
I Review the Property
I look at the home height, gutter layout and access, using your address along with aerial and street views of the property. If I need another view, I’ll reach out for a photo or more information.
Confirm & Schedule
I’ll confirm what is included, answer any questions and get your gutter cleaning scheduled.
Gutter Cleaning FAQs
Common Questions.
Every gutter system is a little different. These are some of the questions homeowners most often ask before scheduling.
Why should I hire you?
I’m local, and this is my own business. I’ve invested in training and professional equipment so I can do the job right, and my name is on the line with every job. I’m the one who quotes it, does the work, and the one you call if anything comes up. No middlemen, no rotating techs. I’m also insured. With ladders on your house, that matters, and I only service one- and two-story homes.
How do I get ready for gutter cleaning?
I need safe ladder access around the house. Move vehicles, furniture, planters and smaller potted plants away from the area under the gutters. Turn the outdoor water on, unlock gates and close windows and doors. Keep pets inside and pick up pet waste. You don’t need to be home. The full checklist is on the Prepare for Your Service page.
How do you clean gutters, and how long does it take?
Hand removal is my standard cleaning method. If the gutters contain packed or decomposed material, water may be needed to finish clearing the gutter channel or downspout opening, and above-ground downspouts are checked or flushed as needed. You’ll get reminders before the visit and a heads-up when I’m on my way. Most gutter cleanings take about 1 to 2 hours on site, depending on the home. That’s an estimate, and it varies by home.
What’s included in a gutter cleaning, and what isn’t?
I clean the debris out of the gutters and check the visible, above-ground downspouts. Debris is bagged and placed in your trash bin or another spot we agree on. I don’t haul it away.
Underground drain lines aren’t included, and neither is cleaning the outside of the gutters. Exterior staining, tiger striping and oxidation are separate from a normal cleanout. Some minor repairs may be possible, such as re-securing a loose section, adding a suitable hanger or resealing certain seams or end caps. I’ll discuss any additional work with you first.
What affects the price of gutter cleaning?
The home’s height, the gutter layout and total amount of gutter, ladder access, the debris condition and any added difficulty all affect the price. You’ll get one simple price for the job before any work begins, and you can get it online with the instant quote. Starting prices are on my Pricing page.
When is the best time to clean my gutters?
For most homes with trees nearby, I like to clean in late fall once most of the leaves are down, so the gutters aren’t full of wet debris when freezing weather arrives. A second cleanout in spring, after seed pods and blossoms drop, helps keep things moving through the summer storms. Homes with fewer trees may only need it once a year. When I’m there, I’ll tell you what I’m seeing so you can choose what makes sense. If you’d like me back on a routine schedule, I can set that up. Book a one-time cleaning, set up a routine schedule (once or twice a year), or book as often as you like.
Do you clean gutters on two-story homes?
Yes. I clean gutters on one- and two-story homes, including walkout basements. Height, ladder placement and safe access are still reviewed for each property. I don’t service gutters on three-story homes because they can’t be reached safely. A detached garage or shed can be done too. Those gutters are quoted separately from the main house, so let me know when you request your quote.
Should I clean my gutters before selling my home?
It’s a good idea. Gutters are easy for a buyer or inspector to see, and clean ones show the home has been looked after. If you’re getting ready to list, ask me about a gutter cleanout and a house wash in the same visit, and I’ll price them together.
Still have questions? My FAQ page answers payment, weather and scheduling, being home and roofs and gutters. The full prep checklist is on Prepare for Your Service. Starting prices are on my Pricing page.
