Our own crew cleans gutters in Gardere, flushes every downspout, checks that the water runs clear, hauls the leaves away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your house size and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We run this work across Louisiana, and most calls come in the spring and fall.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, how big it is and what is sitting in the gutters. Every homeowner asks about cost first, so we quote from those three things by phone or text, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per house, but we would rather give you one number for the whole job. Our cleaning services in Gardere LA follow one gutter cleaning process, and that is why the number holds.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are consistent. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift and that takes more time. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline, so the back run sits further up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with a heavy buildup of hardened muck, which adds time to clear and to haul. A blockage at the downspout outlet adds time too. A leak at a seam is noted on the same visit. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Downspout flushing and debris removal are already in the price, and drainage gets checked at the outlet before the crew leaves. None of it is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, we tell you first and you decide before work starts.
Tree cover moves the number more than anything else. A heavy canopy over the back run means more seeds, twig fragments and grit collecting in the trough, and the trough fills faster between visits. Our crew clears the run, flushes each downspout until the flow comes out clean, then photographs each step so you can see the work on your phone. The quote comes from the stories, the size and the tree cover, the same three things we ask about on every call. If you text us a photo of the front of your house, that helps us give you a closer number before the crew arrives.
Get your gutters quoted before heavy rainfall arrives, since a clogged downspout is the first place water backs up. A clean trough does not stay clean through a wet spring, so repeat cleanings are priced the same way as the first one. Gutter maintenance follows the same pricing, and so do cleaning and maintenance visits, and a clear run keeps water away from your home.

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 houses do well with two visits a year: once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Louisiana, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit runs late November to December. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, so clean the run before the rain sets in. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see a run that has sag or pulled loose by winter. Across Gardere, about 60.5 inches of rain falls in a year, and January, June and August are the wettest months, which is when heavy rainfall tests every rain gutter on the house. Across Louisiana, hurricane season brings more landfalls than nearly any state, so a storm can leave the gutter system full of leaves and debris. Water that cannot get away from the house finds the fascia first, and from there it can rot the board and lead to structural damage. Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road, needles and grit build up in the trough between visits, and clogged downspouts follow, so those houses need a shorter schedule. Houses with few or no trees are usually fine with one regular visit a year in late fall. Guards mean less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs to be kept clean. Landscape that slopes toward the house sends extra water at the trough, and clean gutters carry water away from your home instead of letting it pool at the foundation. On freezing nights, water left in the trough can turn to ice at the eave, so a clear run matters in winter too. Every visit we flush each downspout so the run stays open. We run gutter cleaning services on this two-visit rhythm, and gutter maintenance for commercial properties follows the same logic. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot needs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the run to book a date. Clean your gutters on that schedule rather than waiting for an overflow.
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.

We clean gutters on Gardere homes of every size, and surrounding areas get the same crew and the same price. Our gutter services cover residential and commercial properties, and residential properties nearby get the same visit. Every gutter cleaning service starts with a quote by phone or text, from your stories, your size and your tree cover, plus a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Regular gutter cleaning keeps a clog from forming in the trough, and a sag in the run shows up as standing water after rain. Lead time depends on the week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The two busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, so if you want a date in those months, book early. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through the pricing and the booking. We check drainage at the outlet and watch the water flow before we pack up. Debris removal is part of the price, and buildup leaves in the truck with the rest. You can be at work during the visit, and the crew can clean the whole run, front to back.
The price for a two-story house in Gardere LA comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters, and we give that number by phone or text. We do not give a range without those details, so the estimate you get is the price on the invoice. Homes in surrounding areas get the same quote process.
Two visits a year suit most houses. Across Louisiana, the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit runs late November to December. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by winter. Keep your gutters checked between visits with a quick look after a hard storm. A clog or a blockage in the trough sends rainwater over the roofline instead of into the downspout, and houses under heavy trees need a shorter schedule.
Same-day availability depends on the week, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the first open date for our gutter services. Book early in spring and fall, when most of the calls come in.
No. The crew works outside only, and you get the photos on your phone whether or not you are there. Let us know about any gate or pets before the crew arrives.
Yes. We flush every downspout with water and watch the water flow until it comes out clean at the outlet, and we check the gutters and downspouts together. If the water backs up or stops at the outlet, we tell you where the blockage is and whether it is part of the cleaning or a separate job, and nothing gets billed without you agreeing first.
Yes, usually less often. Guards stop leaves, but seeds, needles and grit still build up on top and can clog the gutters and the downspout beneath. Every guarded job still gets its underside checked, and the downspout gets a water test so the rainwater keeps moving. Keep your gutters on the same two-visit rhythm. The job is priced as a guarded system, which tends to run shorter than an open gutter.
If the trough is clear and rain still spills off the edge, the cause is usually the pitch of the run or the size of the downspout, not leftover debris. Send a photo or a short video taken during heavy rainfall, and we will tell you where the rainwater is going wrong. A second cleaning will not fix a slope problem, so we say so up front.
It should not. The estimate is built from the stories, the size and the tree cover, and if something we see on the roof changes the job, we tell you and you agree before work starts. A regular visit keeps the trough clear, which helps protect your home from water damage.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
