Hammond gutter cleaning from our own crew flushes every downspout and checks that it flows, hauls the leaves and grit away, and sends you photos of every rain gutter run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Louisiana, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, which is when we see the most buildup on the gutters.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for our gutter cleaning services depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we work up an estimate from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Stories and access are what push the number up or down.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk needs a boom or scissor lift, and a walk-out basement puts the back run much higher than it looks from the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves and grit, and clogged downspouts take longer to clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are already in the quote and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
On a lot with heavy tree cover, the clog often sits in the elbows rather than the trough, and the quote can change once the crew sees it from the ladder. We tell you what we find before we charge for it. Regular gutter cleaning keeps a clog from turning into a sag, and it is easier to clean your gutters on a schedule than to chase damage later. Most of our Hammond homes need the same three things checked: the trough, the downspout and the water flow where it leaves the lot. Residential and commercial properties are quoted the same way, and residential properties get the same photo report at the end.
| 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 in Hammond LA book twice a year, once in spring after the seeds and pollen come down and once in fall after the last leaves drop. In spring we find seed casings, pollen and the odd twig packed into the downspout elbows, and in fall it is the wet leaf mat that holds water against the roofline. A gutter that holds rainwater through a wet season is the usual cause of a blockage that turns into a sag.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months keeps gutters and downspouts clear, because needles and grit pack the lines between visits. Few or no trees around the house usually means once a year in late fall. Guards cut the frequency, but the surface still needs a clean and the drainage still needs checking. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, and we flush every downspout so you know water is leaving the house.
Gutters left unchecked in the wet months can hold enough water to cause structural damage to the fascia, and that is what the schedule is built to prevent. Hammond averages 62.2 inches of rain a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so the summer rain is when a neglected gutter shows first. Keep your gutters clear and you protect your home from water damage in the surrounding areas, and keep the landscape beds from washing out, which is what the regular visit is for. Our crew handles the gutter services on the same visit so nothing is missed.
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.

Our own crew does every clean for Hammond homeowners, and houses we cannot walk get a boom or scissor lift. We bag leaves and debris and haul them away from your home, and we offer cleaning services in Hammond for single visits and standing schedules. You book by phone or text: give us the stories, a rough square footage and whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the front of the house if it is easy. Call (866) 435-6328 and we confirm a date and a time window.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so book early if you want to get your gutters done in a particular week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. For a homeowner dealing with a leak or water coming over the edge, we will tell you on the call whether the job can be done soon or needs to wait for an open slot.
Cleanings after a heavy rainfall are common, and a crew that is already in your area can get to a gutter quickly. Ask about our gutter cleaning process on the phone if you want it walked through step by step. Whether you need a single cleaning or a standing schedule for the year, we will set up the cleaning and maintenance around your roof and your trees.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text for any house across Hammond. We do not quote a figure without those details. Once we have them, the price we give you is the price on the invoice.
Our fall visit runs late November to December, and across Louisiana the spring visit falls in mid to late April. Winter freeze risk is real, and water trapped in a clogged gutter can sag the runs, so do not wait for a hard freeze to clean your gutters.
We confirm a date when you call and tell you the first open window. If you need something sooner, say so on the phone and we will tell you what is open.
No, you do 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 checked to make sure it carries water away from the house at the bottom. If a downspout drains into an underground line, we check that water is leaving the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes, guards stop leaves but not the seeds, needles and grit that turn into a wet mat on top of the guard. On our jobs we clear the leaves and grit from the surface, flush each downspout and check that water is getting in, which keeps the gutter system working.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in rain has a slope, capacity or downspout size problem, not a debris problem. If the overflow is left alone it can cause rot in the fascia. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after the work is done.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
