Our own crew gives every gutter in Baker a clean, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves, twigs and debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we handle the rest of the year on a schedule that fits the lot.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, though we do not work that way. Homeowners get the same number on the phone that they see on the invoice, and commercial properties are figured from the same three factors with the roofline length added.
On our jobs, several things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more care on the ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have gone years without cleanings come down packed with compacted leaves and grit, and that takes longer than a light leaf load. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on Baker homes. On one job the gutter was packed with leaves, seed balls and yard straw, and the clog sat at the elbow of a downspout that had been draining poorly for a season. We cleared it, flushed the drainage line, and found the water flow restored at the outlet, which is what a clean job looks like. That kind of buildup is the difference between a gutter that overflows and one that carries water away from the foundation. When a run shows sag or pulls loose, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell a repair. Clogged downspouts are the first thing we check on every job, and leaves and debris left to sit can lead to structural damage over time, which is why we flag it early. Our gutter cleaning services start with that check.
| 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.
Most of our customers book twice a year to keep a clean system. Across Louisiana the spring visit falls in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit usually lands in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit finds seeds, pollen paste and grit packed in the elbows, and the fall visit finds the wet leaf mat. If a house skips the fall visit, we often see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the time the rain sets in.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, we see customers every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still gets a clean so the guard does not turn into a dam. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the rainwater moving, and a clog left under a guard holds water against the fascia board. A clean run stays clear longer.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Check the roofline after heavy rainfall, and if you see water pouring over the edge instead of out of the downspout, that is a sign the rain gutter has a blockage and needs attention. Baker LA averages about 65.5 inches of rain a year, and January, June and August are the wettest months, so clean your gutters before those months. A homeowner with a sloped yard or a bed of landscape along the foundation feels that water first, so ask for an estimate when you call. A clean gutter system keeps water out of the wrong place on residential properties, and we handle residential and commercial jobs on the same schedule. Clearing the gutters costs far less than replacing a rotted fascia board, and a gutter cleaning service is the easier fix.
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 works out of the nearest base and covers all of Baker LA. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house so we can get your gutters priced. We ask for the stories, the approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof, then give you a quote on the phone or by text. Nobody needs to be home for the visit, and the crew keeps every ladder and bag away from your home. We call before we come.
The calendar fills in two busy windows: the weeks after the spring seed drop and the weeks after the fall leaves come down. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Our crew keeps a clean schedule so each visit gets the time the gutter cleaning process needs: clear out any twig jams, clean the gutters, flush every downspout, and send you photos before we leave.
Whether you want to protect your home from water damage or keep up with routine maintenance, we handle the work from start to finish. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts across the surrounding areas, and we aim to keep your gutters clear so the rain has somewhere to go. Ask about our gutter services when you call, since cleaning and maintenance visits are priced the same way.
The number comes from stories and size, and it covers our cleaning services across Baker from start to finish. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we price it on the spot. The number we give is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in late spring, after the seed and pollen drop, and in late fall, after the last leaves come down. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs that sagged under ice and fascia that has started to rot. Schedule the visit before the first hard freeze.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Baker gutter cleaning runs by appointment, so we do not promise same-day service. Our cleaning services in Baker are booked in the busy windows first, so plan ahead if you have a leak.
No, a homeowner does not need to be home. 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 that water is leaving at the outlet and the run comes out clean. Clearing a buried drainage line is a separate job and is priced before anyone touches it.
Yes. Gutter maintenance on a guarded house is lighter than on an open one, but needles, seed casings and debris still sit on top and wet mat over the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, that is a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. Send us a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Not unless we find something that changes the job, and if we do you hear it and agree before work starts. The quote from the phone call is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
