Our own crew does a clean job on your gutters in Bayou Blue: we flush every downspout, check the flow, haul the leaves away, and take photos of every run before we leave, and the yard is left clean. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Louisiana, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, after the seed drop and again after the last leaves are down.
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 sitting in the gutters. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Bayou Blue jobs are quoted by the house, not by the foot, and our gutter cleaning services cover residential and commercial buildings. Commercial properties are quoted the same way. Companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, though we always quote the whole house.
What moves it on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far above the ground, gutters nobody has opened in years where the buildup has to come out by hand before the run looks clean, and guards we have to lift and reseat first. Our gutter services include flushing gutters, flow testing and haul-off, and none of it is billed as an extra. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice. The yard is left clean when the crew leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you where it lands.
If a clog has sat for a season, the water flow out of the downspout is usually the first thing to fail, and a clean downspout is what our crew checks first. Leaves and debris packed into the elbow hold rainwater in the trough until it spills over the front edge. On an older home a gutter that starts to sag at the joints gets photographed and reported, since structural damage is outside a cleaning job and we do not sell a repair. Bayou Blue homes that come to us after a heavy season often have clogged downspouts at two or three points, and clearing them is part of the number, not an add-on. Good drainage at each downspout is the whole point, so every rain gutter on the house gets the same check, and the crew flushes the water away from the foundation 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 Bayou Blue LA jobs most customers book a spring and fall cleaning, in the spring after seed and pollen drop and in the fall after the last leaves are down. For our gutter cleaning service the windows are fixed: across Louisiana, spring visits land in mid to late April and fall visits in November to December. In spring the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the elbows of each downspout and make a blockage the crew clears first, starting with a clean trough and working down to the outlet. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat and grit, and in a stretch of heavy rainfall that mat is what holds the rainwater in the gutter and sends it over the edge. Across Louisiana, hurricane season brings more landfalls than nearly any other state sees, so a gutter that is full when the storm arrives is already a problem. Debris removal is part of every visit, so nothing sits in the trough for the next storm.
Under heavy tree cover, with big limbs over the roof and a dense landscape around the house, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles, grit and twig pieces pack each downspout between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough to clean your gutters. Near a busy road or active construction, the grit settles faster and the same tighter schedule applies. A blockage that forms between visits is worth a call, and the crew checks the roofline while the ladder is up. Call for an estimate and the number comes from stories, size and tree cover. Regular gutter cleaning on that rhythm keeps the spring and fall loads from stacking up, and we photograph each visit so you can see whether the schedule still fits your lot.
Residential and commercial jobs run on the same two visits, and residential properties under heavy cover follow the tighter schedule above. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 in Bayou Blue LA and covers the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Our Bayou Blue gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text, using stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Lead time is set by our calendar, and we will give you the next open date when you call. We also offer gutter services in Bayou Blue for homes, rentals and small commercial buildings, and a clean job is the only kind we book.
The calendar fills in two busy windows: after the spring seed drop and before the fall leaves, which is when most homeowners want the gutters open at the same time. Book early in those windows to get your gutters on a set day. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Bayou Blue homeowners and property managers book the same way, and residential properties and rental houses get the same photo check. Whether you are a homeowner who wants the roofline checked or a property manager with several houses, the crew will keep your gutters ready for the next rainy season. Regular gutter maintenance and a clear run protect your home from water damage through that season. Each of our cleanings covers the trough, the elbows and a twig or two caught at the outlet, and we flush every downspout before the truck leaves. To keep your gutters and downspouts working between visits, clear the surface debris off the top of any gutter guards and walk the run after a storm to check for any leak or standing water.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Our gutter cleaning process starts with that call: give us the square footage and we quote the house before we schedule anything, and cleaning services in Bayou Blue are priced the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 to start.
Across Louisiana, spring visits land in mid to late April and fall visits in November to December, and that is when our customers here usually book. Waiting past that window means heavier leaf mat and wet debris, and a stretch of heavy rainfall can fill a trough faster than the crew can clear it. The fastest way to get your gutters on the calendar is to call early in those windows.
Slots depend on the calendar across Bayou Blue, and we confirm the next open date when you call. We do not promise same-day visits.
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.
We flush every downspout and check that the water is leaving at the outlet, and anything that looks like rot or a leaking joint goes into the photos. The whole gutter system is checked on each visit. A buried drainage line that needs clearing is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards cut the work but do not end cleaning and gutter maintenance. On a lot with a heavy landscape of trees, guards keep most leaves out, but needles, seeds and grit still settle on top and mat once they are wet. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards, and guarded gutters usually need fewer cleanings, not none.
A gutter that is clean and still spills water in the rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem, and the water still needs to run away from your home. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if something we did not see from the ground changes the job, and you hear about it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
