Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts across Baton Rouge LA, flushing every downspout, testing the flow, hauling the leaves and grit away and sending photos of every run before we leave. Each run is flushed until the water runs clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Homeowners who want a gutter cleaning service on a set schedule can call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate. Most of our customers here have booked a spring and fall visit for years, and the calendar fills up in those same two windows.
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. A homeowner comparing cleaning services in Baton Rouge gets the same answer from us: we work it out over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted, but on our jobs the stories and the leaf load do most of the work.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds once it is up the ladder. A third story or a steep pitch the crew cannot walk takes longer and more equipment, and a walk-out basement or sloped lot puts the back run much higher than the front suggests. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves and grit, a leak at a seam or a clog at a downspout elbow adds time, and guards we have to lift and reseat add more. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Every run is checked until it runs clean. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs here, a two-story house under heavy tree cover is the kind of visit where seed casings and the odd twig pack the runs and a flow problem turns up at a downspout. The quote is set by phone before the crew arrives, and the work matches it, from the gutter cleaning process on the ladder to the leaves hauled away from your home.
Most of our customers here are on a regular gutter cleaning schedule, and the cleanings are priced the same way as the first one. Gutter maintenance is priced by the same stories and tree cover, so a homeowner knows the cleaning and maintenance number before the ladder goes up. The number you get on the phone is the number on the invoice, and that holds for the second and third visit too. Nothing is added after the crew is up the ladder. The photos of every run come to your phone, and the gutters are left clean, before the truck leaves.
| 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.
On our jobs here most customers book twice a year: the spring visit after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit after the last leaves come down. Across Louisiana the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and here the fall visit lands in late November to December. When we open a gutter at the spring visit we find a buildup of seeds, seed casings and pollen paste in the downspout elbows. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and the runs on houses that skipped the fall visit are the ones that sag and pull loose once heavy rainfall arrives.
Under heavy tree cover, needles and grit pack the runs faster than two visits a year can keep up with. Clogged downspouts are the usual result between windows, and a clog at the bottom of the run is the first sign, before water starts to rot the fascia board. Baton Rouge gets about 64 inches of rain a year, and its wettest months are January, June and August, so check the gutters before those stretches rather than after the first overflow. Houses near a busy road or construction get the same schedule. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots, so how often to clean your gutters depends on the lot. Gutter guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be clean, because guards stop leaves and not the grit that sits on top of them.
Across Louisiana the pattern is similar, and hurricane season is a reason to check the system, since Louisiana takes more landfalls than nearly any state. Our crews use the same two visit windows across the state, and the timing is adjusted to the lot in front of the crew. Gutter cleaning services in this part of the state tend to run on the same calendar, since the leaves and debris come down on the same schedule.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. That includes the gutter system condition, how the landscape drainage runs toward the house, and whether each downspout runs clean all the way to the outlet and carries water away.
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 the neighborhoods around here. We clean residential and commercial properties, and the same crew handles both, though the scheduling is handled separately. Booking starts with a quote by phone or by text from the number of stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the house. Call (866) 435-6328 and the crew can get your gutters on the calendar. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall visits, when the seed drop and the leaf drop hit at once. Booking a gutter cleaning service early in those windows gets you a date that suits you. Outside them, slots open up faster, and we confirm the date when you call. Homes in the surrounding areas get the same booking line. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
If your home has had a clog, a water flow problem, a buildup in the runs, or water sitting at the foundation, tell us when you book so the crew comes prepared with the right gear. Standing water at the foundation can point to structural damage, so do not wait on it. Commercial clients with multiple buildings get one scheduled visit per building, and the same booking line handles both commercial and residential properties.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. We do not quote a range on this page because two houses with the same story count can land far apart when one has a steep back run. The number we give you is the number on the invoice.
Across Louisiana the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and here the fall visit lands in late November to December. If the spring visit is skipped, the seed casings and pollen paste sit in the downspout elbows until heavy rainfall arrives. If the fall visit is skipped, the wet leaf mat is what we find when we open the runs, and it is the usual cause of a blockage at the downspout elbow. Plan to keep your gutters clean through both windows to protect your home from water damage.
Same-day visits depend on the crew's schedule that day, so ask when you book and we will tell you what we have for your date. We confirm the date when you call.
No. Our gutter services run outside, the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and downspout go to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check that rainwater leaves clean at the outlet. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs a rain gutter with guards keeps out leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, which sit on top and wash off the front edge when wet. We lift the panels, clear the roofline underneath, flush every downspout and reseat the guards, and the gutter comes back clean.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The quote is built from stories, size and tree cover, and anything that would change the job is raised with you before work starts. Nothing is added to the invoice after the crew is on the ladder.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
