HB,
I recently asked for recommendation for gutter cleaners and got one response:

We have been happy with Hoolahan Roofing & Remodeling.  521-0191. (Paul 
Hoolahan).

I've used Hoolahan for roofing, but had never thought of him for gutter
cleaning. Turns out he'll do it, but his minimum charge is $65, rather
high for our little house.

The Yellow Pages gave me these names:

Walter Thor 782-2858
We called him before this, but he can't commit to an appointment with us.

David Deramo 561-7224
They charged us $45.48, and they wanted payment on the day they did the
job, so we had to leave a check in the door, something we're not very
happy about. Since I can't get up there and check their work, I can only
assume they did an adequate job.

David Sauter 367-3999
He called to tell us he couldn't do the job, but that his brother might.
We appreciated his making the effort to call and refer us.

Three Rivers Window Cleaning 486-6099
This is David Sauter's brother's place. But they don't do residential gutters.

There you have it.

ps - It's probably worth buying a $150 ladder and doing it myself.
