Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Harvey. Every run is flushed and flow-tested, the mess is hauled away, and photos of every run go to your phone before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
Across Louisiana most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we run our calendar around those two visits. Tell us what you have and we will say when we can get to you.
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, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the stories and the clutter matter more than the length of the run.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a pitch too steep to walk safely, a walk-out basement that puts the back run well up the wall, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves, a leak at a seam, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before anything can be cleared. Flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice. Every job ends with the gutters clean and the water running clear out the bottom.
For a homeowner, a run that looks clean from the driveway often hides what has been building up behind the front edge. The leaf mat, the seed paste and the twig packed at the elbows are the reasons a visit takes the time it takes. We would rather explain that on the phone than surprise you on the ladder.
Gutter maintenance on a house that has skipped a season is a different job than a light touch-up, and it is priced that way. A home under heavy rainfall gets more buildup between visits, which is part of why regular cleanings keep the run clean and cost less over a year than one catch-up job after the gutters have started to sag. For the cleaning and maintenance schedule we would suggest, ask us when you call and we will walk you through it.
Our cleaning services in Harvey start with a photo of the front of the house sent by text, plus the stories and roughly how big the home is. The gutter cleaning process is the same for every house, and the number you get is the one you pay. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the photo and we will get you a quote in the same conversation. Clearing a clog now is how you get your gutters moving rainwater away from your home instead of over the edge.

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 Harvey LA book twice a year, one visit in mid to late April after the seed and pollen drop, and one in November to December after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit is mostly seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the outlet elbows. The fall visit is the wet leaf mat that sits in the trough and the leaves that have blown into the rain gutter over the summer. Both visits end with the outlets flushed and the system flowing.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the gutters fill far faster, and those homes need a visit more often than a house with light tree cover, because needles and grit pack the clogged downspouts between cleanings. A house with few or no trees usually does fine on one visit a year in late fall. Guards change the rhythm a little, since less comes into the trough, but a clean trough still has to be checked when the leaves and seeds sit on top of the guard.
When we open a gutter here in mid to late April we often find the seed drop has been packing the outlets for weeks, and the leaves and debris from the winter are still in the bottom of the run. When we open one in November to December we see the fall leaves and the wet mat that can rot the fascia behind it if it sits through the rainy season. Across Louisiana, hurricane season brings heavy rain, and in Harvey June, July and August are the wettest months, so a clog that sits in a run can do structural damage faster than most homeowners expect.
Gutter cleaning services are most useful when they are on the calendar before the clutter gets bad, not after water starts running behind the gutter. The surest way to keep water away from your home is a clean gutter system on a schedule that fits the trees and landscape around the house. Ask us during the quote and we will tell you how often to clean your gutters on your lot.
Once we have been up on the house and seen the gutter system, we tell you which schedule your lot needs: twice a year, more often under heavy tree cover, or once a year in late fall. The first visit tells us what the trees are doing, and the schedule follows from that. The easiest way to keep your gutters working is to book before the clog forms.
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.
We have kept gutters clean across Harvey LA, and the crew covers Harvey homes and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, so a call to book usually reaches the same people who will be on the ladder. You tell us your stories, roughly how big the house is and whether trees hang over the house. A photo of the front of the house by text helps us see the lot, including the roofline, and most quotes are given in that same conversation.
The two busiest windows on our calendar are the spring visit in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, when most Harvey homeowners want to clean before the seasonal leaf drop or the rainy season. Booking early keeps the slot you want. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first date we can offer.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The gutter cleaning service works from outside the house and does not come inside, so a call and an open side gate are the whole preparation on your end, and we leave the yard clean.
Our gutter services cover residential and commercial properties. For commercial properties we work on a scheduled basis, and for residential properties we book a single visit or a regular gutter cleaning plan. If your buildings or homes need a visit on another date, ask us and we will check the calendar with you.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a figure here because the same two-story house can be quoted differently depending on the buildup and the tree cover over the house.
Most of our customers here book the spring visit in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. If the gutters wait past the rainy season, the wet mat and the leaves behind it can start to rot the board behind the run, so the spring visit does more to protect your home from water damage.
Open slots vary by season, so we confirm the date when you call. We will tell you the first date we can offer rather than promise one we might miss.
No. The crew works outside on the gutters, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet 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 flow-test it, and we check that the water is leaving at the outlet. If a line runs underground and has a blockage past the outlet, that is a separate job and we quote it before touching it.
Yes, usually less often, but the surface still collects needles, seeds and grit. We lift the guards, clean underneath and reseat them, and the job is priced as a guarded system. Guards do not end the visits, so plan them around the trees.
If a gutter that is clean still runs over the front edge in rain, it is almost always a slope or pipe-size problem rather than a clog. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree before any 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.
