Professional Gutter Cleaning in Athens, AL
Athens' established neighborhoods mean mature trees — and mature trees mean gutters full of leaves, seeds, and debris. When gutters clog, North Alabama's 55+ inches of annual rainfall has nowhere to go except over the edge, cascading down your siding, pooling around your foundation, and finding its way into your basement. Our professional cleaning service clears debris, flushes downspouts, and inspects your entire system.
The Dirty Truth
Why Athens Gutters Need Regular Cleaning
Our Process
What's Included in Gutter Cleaning?
Benefits
Why Professional Gutter Cleaning?
Prevents Water Damage
Clear gutters direct water away from your home. Critical on Limestone County's clay soil that holds water against foundations for days.
Safer Than DIY
No climbing extension ladders or leaning over roof edges. Two-story Athens homes are especially risky for DIY cleaning.
Actually Thorough
We clean inside and out, flush every downspout, and inspect for problems. More thorough than most DIY attempts.
Extends Gutter Life
Standing debris holds moisture. Moisture causes corrosion. Regular cleaning adds years to your gutter lifespan.
Catches Problems Early
We spot loose hangers, failing seams, and fascia rot before they become expensive repairs.
Saves Your Weekend
What takes you 4-6 hours takes us 60-90 minutes. And we clean up after ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gutter cleaning in Athens, AL
Gutter cleaning in Athens runs $100-175 for single-story homes, $150-275 for two-story. Price depends on linear footage, accessibility, and debris level. Older Athens homes with complex rooflines may run higher. We quote exact prices before starting — no surprises.
Most Athens homes: twice yearly — late November after leaves drop, late April after pollen and seed pods. Homes near Athens State or in heavily wooded neighborhoods may need quarterly cleaning due to heavier debris. If you have significant pecan coverage, add a third cleaning in late summer.
Clogged gutters overflow. That water runs down your siding (leaving stains), pools around your foundation (causing cracks and settling), and eventually finds its way into your basement. Limestone County's clay soil makes this worse — water doesn't absorb, it just sits there finding paths into your home. Foundation repairs run $10,000-30,000. Annual cleaning runs $300-400 total.
Small stuff — yes. Loose hangers, minor leaks, resealing seams — we can handle on the spot for a small additional charge. Bigger issues like rotted fascia or failing gutters get documented with a separate estimate.
Absolutely. We serve all of Athens and Limestone County — downtown Athens, around Athens State, and surrounding areas like Tanner, Elkmont, and East Limestone. About 25 minutes from our Huntsville base, close enough for same-week scheduling on most jobs.
