Eight multi-market companies clean gutters in some of our metros, and a ninth is still blocked from a direct read. None of the nine publishes a price for gutter cleaning; every one requires a free estimate, quote request, or on-site evaluation before you learn a number. We publish one all-in price, for gutters and downspouts only, before you talk to anyone. Each comparison below uses cleaning scope only, cites the company's own pages with the date we read them, and says plainly where the competitor is the better fit.
The comparisons
| Page | Model | One honest line |
|---|---|---|
| Us vs Ned's Home | National multi-service brand, 20 states + DC | Best if you want a recurring plan and a stated clog guarantee; we don't publish a state list that wide yet, but we show a price before contact and they don't. |
| Us vs Window Genie | Neighborly franchise, about 97 locations | Best if your local franchise covers you and you want windows and pressure washing too; Seattle coverage is unconfirmed despite a Washington listing. |
| Us vs Shine Window Cleaning | Franchise, about 60 named markets | Best if you already have gutter guards installed, since its page explicitly covers guarded systems; Chicago and Seattle did not appear on its market list. |
| Us vs Window Hero | HomeFront Brands franchise, 10-state footprint | Best if you want unattended access and optional guard installation quoted together; Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver, and Seattle did not appear on its locations page. |
| Us vs Fish Window Cleaning | Franchise, 270+ territories in 45 states | The widest metro overlap with us of any competitor here; still no published price, and franchise boundaries vary by ZIP. |
| Us vs Squeegee Squad | Franchise network, 26+ states | Best if you want a locally owned crew reachable by phone; its online location finder is JavaScript-rendered, so we could not confirm coverage in any of our metros. |
| Us vs Men In Kilts | Franchise, US and Canada | Best if you want minor repairs and camera inspection at the same visit; its locations page names only Denver among our 10 metros. |
| Us vs Window Gang | Multi-location, Southeast and Texas focus | Best if you want windows, pressure washing, and a spring/fall gutter schedule from one branch; Columbus, Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver, and Seattle did not appear on its locations page. |
| Us vs The Brothers That Just Do Gutters | Franchise, 37 states (per indirect research) | Comparison drafted from search-result evidence; its site blocks direct reads |
| Ned's Home alternatives | N/A | A separate page listing every route (Taskrabbit, Thumbtack, Angi, local crews), each model labeled. |

"State-level" means the brand lists the state as covered without naming the metro itself. "Unconfirmed" means the page we read did not return a usable city list (Squeegee Squad's location finder is JavaScript-rendered). This table is a reading of each company's own site on 2026-09-17 (Ned's Home and Window Genie first read 2026-09-16); it is not a claim that every address within a named metro has an available crew.
How we compare fairly
- Facts come from pages read on a stated date; unknown stays unknown.
- Cleaning scope only: guard, installation, repair, and window or pressure-washing offers from these brands are not compared to anything of ours.
- We never claim better ratings or reviews we do not have, and we do not repeat their guarantees as ours.
- No brand's public review count, star rating, or reputation is repeated on any of these pages.
Method comparisons
Cleaning vs guards, DIY vs professional, one-time vs recurring: those decisions have their own pages.
Competitor names are trademarks of their owners. This is an independent comparison; we are not affiliated with any company named here.
Why book this way
- Your price online in minutes. No callback, no estimate visit, no waiting for someone to get back to you. Typically the quickest way to book this service.
- One all-in price before any contact. None of the nine national gutter brands we read publishes a price; each asks for an estimate first (read 2026-09-16 and 2026-09-17).
- One point of contact from your request to the finished job. We work with a local partner and answer for the result.
- You pay only after the price and your booking are confirmed.
