Gutter cleaning in Antioch
Antioch is the Chain O'Lakes: wooded lots, lakefront homes, tall oaks and a steady drop of leaves and acorns from September through November. Lakefront properties here often have gutters on boathouses and detached garages as well as the main house.
We cover all of Antioch, including the lakefront neighbourhoods around Lake Marie and Channel Lake, the downtown blocks off Route 83 and Main Street, and the subdivisions off Route 173. Whether it is a one-storey ranch that takes forty minutes or a big two-storey under old oaks, the job is the same: every gutter scooped by hand, every downspout flushed until it runs clear, the debris bagged and taken away, and before-and-after photos texted to you when we leave.
Most calls in Antioch are for a straight gutter cleaning, and a good share of those turn out to be a single clogged downspout doing all the damage. If the house has gutter guards we lift and refit them, and homes under big trees usually want the roof valleys cleared at the same time. While we are up there we handle the small stuff - loose hangers, sagging runs and leaking corners - and if the outside of the gutters has gone streaky, a wash and brighten finishes the job. Townhome associations and landlords in Antioch can set up a scheduled account for whole rows and portfolios.

Warning signs
Signs your gutters are full
Any one of these means the gutters need a look. Two or more means water is already going somewhere it should not.
- Water over the edgeIn rain, water sheets over the front lip instead of going down the downspout. The gutter is full or the outlet is blocked.
- Plants in the gutterSeedlings, grass or moss growing along the run. The soil they grow in has been there a while.
- Sagging or pulling awayA run that dips in the middle or a section that has separated from the fascia. Weight of wet debris or failed hangers.
- Stains and streaksDark tiger stripes down the face, or water marks on siding under the gutter. Overflow has been happening for a season or more.
- Water in the basementDownspouts dumping at the foundation, or clogged underground drains, are the most common cause we see.
- Ice dams in winterIce building at the roof edge and icicles on the gutter. Full gutters freeze first and hold the ice against the shingles.
Pricing
Priced from a photo, not an hourly rate
Four things set the price. Text a photo of the front of the house and we work them out for you and send one flat number that includes the cleanup and hauling the debris away.
- StoreysOne-storey is quick. Two and three storeys need taller ladders and more time.
- Gutter lengthA ranch with 120 feet is a different job from a big two-storey with 300.
- DownspoutsEach one gets flushed and confirmed clear. More downspouts, more time.
- Guards and debrisGutter guards to lift and refit, or years of packed debris, add time.

Questions
Gutter cleaning in Antioch: common questions
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Antioch?
It depends on storeys, gutter length, downspouts and whether there are guards. Text a photo of the front of the house and we send a price back, usually within the hour.
How fast can you clean gutters in Antioch?
Same-week in most cases. In late fall we run Antioch as a route day, so booking a week ahead gets you the best slot.
Do I need to be home?
No. If we can reach the gutters and there is an outside spigot, we do the job while you are out and text you photos when it is done.
Do you take the debris away?
Yes. Hand-scooped into buckets, bagged and hauled off. Nothing is blown onto the lawn or the driveway.
Do you fix gutters in Antioch too?
Small repairs, yes - loose hangers, sagging runs, leaking corners, downspouts that have come apart. Replacement is a gutter contractor's job and we tell you when that is what you need.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Antioch?
Twice a year for most homes, late spring and late fall. With pine needles and oak leaves in the Chain O'Lakes area, some homes need a third visit.
Do you clean gutters on two-storey homes in Antioch?
Yes. Single and two-storey homes are most of what we clean. For anything taller, text a photo and we will tell you.
Do you clean gutter guards in Antioch?
Yes. We lift the guards, clean underneath, flush the downspouts and refit them.
Do you clear roof valleys in Antioch?
Yes. Homes under big trees usually want the roof valleys cleared on the same visit as the gutters.
What parts of Antioch do you cover?
All of Antioch, including the neighbourhoods off Route 173 and Route 83.
