Gutter Cleaning Is All We Do in the Des Moines Metro

Look at who else cleans gutters in this metro. One is a window cleaning company. One is a pressure washing company. Several install and replace gutters and clean them as a way to get on the roof. For all of them, gutter cleaning is a line item on a longer menu.
That changes the job in two ways, and neither is in your favor.
It changes what happens on the ladder. A crew doing this every day can tell from the driveway which side of your house is going to be the problem, and knows that the section over the garage almost never is. That is not skill so much as volume. You see enough rooflines and they start telling you things before you are up there.
It changes what they are looking for. When the company clearing your gutters also sells gutter replacement, roofing, or guards, every cleaning doubles as a sales call. You have no way to tell whether the problem they found up there is real.
We have nothing to sell you except another cleaning. That is not a slogan, it is the structure of the business.
How We Work
What a Clogged Gutter Actually Costs You
A gutter is a drainage system, and when it stops draining the water has to go somewhere. Usually that is over the front edge and straight down against your foundation, which is the expensive version of this problem.
In Iowa there is a second version. Water that sits in a packed gutter through a freeze-thaw cycle turns into ice, and ice in a gutter is how ice dams start. That is a roof problem, not a gutter problem, and it costs accordingly.
Cleaning a gutter is cheap. The things a clogged one causes are not. That is the entire argument.
Gutter Cleaning DetailsWhat Gutter Cleaning Costs in Des Moines
Most Des Moines metro homes land between $149 and $189for a standard cleaning. Most Des Moines metro homes fall in this range. Final price depends on roof height, gutter length, and how much debris has built up.
You will see prices advertised well below that around the metro. Sometimes that is a real price for a small single-story ranch. Sometimes it is a number designed to get someone onto your driveway before the real quote arrives. Ask what is included, ask whether downspouts are part of it, and ask whether they haul the debris or leave it in your yard.
Here is the part nobody in this industry says out loud: Iowa has no license for gutter cleaning. Plumbers and electricians are licensed by the state. Gutter cleaners are not, and there is no exam, no inspection, and no competency standard specific to this work. Anyone with a ladder can print a business card. That is exactly why the questions above matter more here than they would in a licensed trade.

Why Des Moines Homeowners Call Us

Gutter Cleaning Questions, Answered
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Des Moines?
Most Des Moines metro homes land between $149 and $189 for a standard single-story or two-story cleaning. Price moves with roof height, how many linear feet of gutter you have, and how long it has been since the last cleaning. You get the price before anyone starts work.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Iowa?
Twice a year covers most homes here, once in late spring after the seeds and buds drop and once in late fall after the leaves finish. If your house sits under mature trees or backs a creek corridor or greenbelt, you will want a third visit. Homes in newer subdivisions with young trees can often go once a year.
What is the best month to get gutters cleaned in Des Moines?
Late October into November is the single most useful time, because you want the gutters clear before the first freeze. Water sitting in a clogged gutter through an Iowa freeze-thaw cycle is what starts ice dams. Spring, around April and May, is the second window, after the trees finish dropping seeds.
Do you only do gutters, or other exterior work too?
Only gutters. We clean them, we brighten them, and we maintain them for commercial properties. We do not clean windows, we do not pressure wash, and we do not install or replace gutters. Most of the companies you will call in this metro list gutter cleaning partway down a menu of other exterior services, and several of them lead with something else entirely. We think that is the difference between a crew that does this every day and a crew that does it between other jobs.
Do you install gutters or gutter guards?
No. Installation, repair, and guards are a different trade, and we deliberately stay out of it. It means a cleaning from us is never also a sales pitch for a replacement. If we see something genuinely wrong up there, we tell you and point you toward someone who does that work.
Do you clean the downspouts too?
Yes, and it is not an add-on. A clean gutter that drains into a packed downspout is still a clogged system. Every job includes clearing and flushing the downspouts and confirming water actually runs out the bottom.
Do I need to be home for the appointment?
No. As long as there is clear access to the perimeter of the house, most gutter cleanings happen without the homeowner there. You get confirmation when the work is done.
Which Des Moines suburbs do you cover?
We cover West Des Moines, Johnston, Clive, Norwalk, Polk City, and the surrounding Des Moines metro. If you are in the metro and you have gutters, call and ask.
