Our own crew cleans gutters in West Memphis. Every run comes out clean, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and you get photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been doing that work across Arkansas long enough to know where the leaves and seeds collect first.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are quoted from three things: stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We give the number over the phone or by text, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but the total is the same question: how high the work is, how much of it there is, and how much material has to come out.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the quote, and so does a walk-out basement or sloped lot that raises the effective height of the roofline. A rain gutter system nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted leaves and sludge that takes longer to clear, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the price and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what the job looks like on a typical West Memphis AR visit. Gutters that look clean from the driveway often have a sag or buildup a few feet in, where water flow stops and a clog forms, and one blockage is enough to send water over the edge in a heavy storm. We clear the run, then flush the gutters and downspouts together and check the drainage at the outlet so water leaves the property rather than pooling by the foundation. On residential and commercial properties the method is the same, and the same rule applies: if a clean gutter still overflows, we tell you it is a slope problem and do not sell a second cleaning. If you want to clean your gutters on a schedule that fits your year, text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a number to plan around.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $185 | from $240 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $165 | from $215 | from $280 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $190 | from $250 | from $325 |
For context, nationally: Angi 2026, US average $168, most $119 to $234, $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot.
Downspouts flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled, photos of every run. The quote already has all of it in.
Our crew clears every gutter run by hand, not just the stretch you can see from the driveway. Roof valleys and the area above the gutter line are blown clear first, so the next rain does not refill what was just emptied. Every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom; one that will not clear is worked from the top where it can be reached. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, the crew checks that water is leaving at the outlet and tells you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Debris goes into bags and leaves with the truck. It is not blown onto the lawn, the deck or next door. The ground is left as it was found.
Before the crew leaves you get photos of every run and every downspout, before and after, on your phone, whether or not you were home. Anything the crew sees that is not a cleaning problem, a hanger pulled loose, a seam dripping, a run sitting flat, is photographed and reported, not repaired and not sold on the spot.
What can change the number, and you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice: a third story or a roof too steep to walk; gutters that have not been touched in years; guards that have to come off and go back on.
Twice a year for most houses: once after the spring seed and pollen drop, once after the last leaves fall.
Across Arkansas, spring visits run late April to May, once the seeds and pollen have dropped, and our fall visits run November to early December, after the last leaves come down. West Memphis gets about 55.9 inches of rain a year, and March, April and May are its wettest months, so the spring visit lands at the tail end of the heavy rainfall. When we open a gutter in the spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts. Sometimes it is one twig lodged at the elbow, and that is enough to stop the flow. In November it is the wet leaf mat, plus the leaves and debris that came down all fall, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March. Freeze risk is part of the reason the fall visit matters here, because water left standing in a clog can turn to ice at the eave. Clogged downspouts cause more of the overflow we see than the gutter trough itself.
Under heavy tree cover, or where the landscape runs right up to the eave, the gutters need checking more often than the spring and fall visits alone, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a clog can form quickly in a gutter that looks fine at a glance. Houses with few or no trees need only the fall visit to keep rainwater moving off the roofline and away from the foundation. Houses with gutter guards need less frequent visits, but a guard only buys you time if the surface is kept clean, because the material that sits on top of a guard turns into the same wet mat that blocks water flow underneath.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the photos of every run on your phone so you can see what we found. The rule is the same for every home we clean: keep your gutters clear enough that water leaves the roof and does not sit on it. A clog left through one season can cause structural damage the next, since water that sits against the fascia and soffit rots them from the inside out. Our gutter services include a visit where we flush every downspout at the right time, and that is the cheapest way to protect your home from water damage. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to book a date for your spring or fall visit.
Water over the edge rots the board behind the gutter first. Everything after that is slow, and slow is what a policy excludes.
The three signs. Water pouring over the front edge in rain instead of out of the downspout. A run that sags, sits low or has pulled away from the fascia. Plants growing out of the trough. Any one of them means the gutter is full.
What happens next. Water that cannot drain sits in the trough and spills behind it. The fascia board rots, then the soffit. Water backs up under the first course of shingles and shows up as a ceiling stain. Siding stains and swells. Below, the overflow cuts a channel at the foundation and finds the basement. The wet debris itself weighs enough to pull the gutter off the house. Standing water breeds mosquitoes; dry debris houses wasps. Where winters freeze, the trapped water becomes an ice dam at the eave and lifts the shingles from underneath.
Why your policy will not pay. Homeowners insurance generally does not cover water damage traced to clogged gutters. Carriers class gutter cleaning as routine maintenance, and damage from skipped maintenance as preventable neglect, which a standard policy excludes. A limb that tears a gutter off in a storm is sudden and accidental and is usually covered; a fascia board that rotted over two years is not. This is general information, not insurance advice; read your policy or ask your agent.
Guards stop leaves. They do not stop needles, seeds, grit or the paste they turn into. The job gets shorter, not gone.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often, and it is a different job: clearing what sits on top of the guard and checking that water is actually getting in, rather than scooping out the trough. Mesh and screen guards hold whole leaves off. Pine needles thread through, seed casings and pollen mat on top, roof grit settles underneath, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge. The gutter is empty and the water never went in.
Guards earn their keep under big leafy trees and on roofs too high to want to climb. They do not end maintenance, whatever the installer said. Our crew lifts the panels, clears underneath, flushes the downspouts and reseats the guards; tell us what is on the house when you get the quote and it is priced as a guarded system, which usually runs shorter than an open one.
Under an hour on most houses. Nobody has to be there, and the photos arrive either way.
The crew calls the day before with an arrival window and again when they are on the way. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical home; bigger houses, steep roofs and gutters left for years run longer. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. Before they arrive: side gate unlocked, cars off the driveway if runs face it, pets inside while ladders are up. Ladder stand-offs keep the ladder off the gutter lip and the siding. After: photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves, and an invoice that matches the quote.
Send us a photo or a short video in the rain. You hear what it is before anyone talks about money.
Still overflowing. A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. If that happens after a cleaning, send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it actually is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The number. The price quoted on the phone is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Your house. Stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip, and screens and downspout extensions go back where they were.
Payment. The balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone. Some dates take a small booking fee to hold the slot, and you hear about it before you book.
The whole city and the towns around it, booked by phone or text from the nearest crew.
Our crew cleans gutters across West Memphis AR and the surrounding areas, and cleaning services in west memphis are booked the same way on every street. We know West Memphis homes well enough to tell a clean roofline from the one that has been overflowing behind the fascia for a season. Our West Memphis homeowners get the same process as everyone else: an estimate by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over it, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328 for that estimate, or text the photo, and we will confirm a date. Lead time depends on the week, so book a date early if you can. Two windows of the year fill up fast on our calendar: late spring after the seed drop and late fall after the leaves are down.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you are asking for a West Memphis gutter cleaning appointment, the process is simple: get your gutters quoted, pick a date, and the crew arrives with a boom or scissor lift where the height calls for one. For a homeowner who wants the gutters and the glass done together, we sequence the work so the gutters are cleared first and the windows are washed last, which keeps the grit off the glass. This is the same gutter cleaning process we run on every job, and it keeps our gutter maintenance consistent from one visit to the next. A visit is cleaning and maintenance, so we check every joint for a leak before the crew packs up, and we check the outlet to confirm water away from your home is actually moving. Repeat customers get the same checklist on every one of our cleanings, and the crew handles all of our gutter services the same way, with every run clean before they pack up.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. There is no figure we can give without knowing those, but once we have them the quote is the price you pay.
Our customers here book late spring and late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat and any ice that forms on the eave can leave runs sagging by March.
Not always. Open slots change from week to week, so we confirm a date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and we check the outlet to see that water is leaving. Once the downspouts run clean, the crew moves on, and clogged downspouts get the most attention. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes, less often. Guards keep out most of the leaves and debris, but the grit that gets past them packs down into a wet mat on top, and that is what keeps water from getting in. We clear the surface and check the water flow underneath.
A rain gutter that is clean and still overflowing in the rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Our goal is simple: get water away from the house, and we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Over time, yes. Water that sits against the fascia and soffit causes rot, and standing water can reach the foundation, so a clogged run becomes a repair bill and not only a cleaning bill.
Yes. We handle residential and commercial jobs with the same steps, and the quote depends on height and how much material is in the gutters, not on the type of building.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
