Our own crew does the gutter cleaning, so every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, the mess is hauled away, and every run is left clean with photos on your phone before we leave. 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 Laplace homeowners book in spring and fall, and we keep those visits on the calendar.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for Laplace gutter cleaning depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text for an estimate from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place, but we would rather give you one figure for the whole house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted gunk, and that buildup makes for a different morning than a light clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, flow testing and haul-off of the leaves and debris are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our jobs, one house had a steep back run where the clog had built up at the elbow for two seasons. The crew cleared it, flushed the line and watched the water flow, and that was the change from the original quote, which we explained before we went up. See the write-up here: job notes. Most of the work in Laplace homes is routine, and we say so on the phone. Where a rain gutter is carrying water away from the wall and the clogged downspouts are the only issue, the job is a simple clean. Where the gutter system is sound but the drainage at the outlet is slow, we flush and flow-test it. Where a sag or a clog is causing structural damage, we photograph it and tell you what we found.
| 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 book two cleanings a year, spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop, and again after the last leaves come down. Across Louisiana, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late April, when seeds and pollen have packed into the elbows. In the fall, the visit usually lands in December to early January, and on houses that skipped it we have seen runs sag under the weight of a wet leaf mat by the following spring. Book the spring visit so you can clean your gutters before the summer rain sets in.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months keeps the gutters clear, because debris packs in between visits. Each visit ends with debris removal, so nothing is left sitting in the trough. A clog or blockage at the elbow stops the rainwater, and standing water left in the trough can rot the fascia behind it. Few or no trees near the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Near a busy road or construction, the grit adds up faster, and we adjust the schedule to match. Heavy rainfall is why the schedule matters here, since Laplace gets 67.2 inches a year and January, June and July are the wettest months.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Residential properties with heavy cover usually land on the short cycle, and cleaning and maintenance is the same visit either way. A schedule is the simplest way to keep your gutters flowing.
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 clean from our own crew across the neighborhoods, and each homeowner gets the same crew from first call to final photo. Booking a gutter cleaning service starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy for you. Our service runs on the calendar, and the busy windows are the spring and fall stretches when most homeowners book. The gutter cleaning process is the same in surrounding areas. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Keep your gutters clear between visits, and the cleanings stay short.
If you have a homeowner question, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see. If you see a leak at a seam, text that photo too, and if you want to get your gutters on the calendar, the same text works. A twig jammed in a downspout is a quick fix, and we will say so. We clean the gutter and downspout on every run, not gutter guards as a product, and when we notice a guard or a seam that needs attention, we photograph it and report it. That keeps the work honest and helps protect your home from water damage. Repeat cleanings go on the calendar with your quote. Commercial properties and residential properties start with the same three questions, and we size residential and commercial jobs the same way.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details, because the crew needs to see what is in the gutters to know the time involved. Gutter cleaning in Laplace LA is quoted from those same two numbers, and the quote is the number on the invoice.
Most customers book in late spring and late fall. If you wait past the fall leaf drop, the wet mat and heavy rainfall can make the cleaning longer and more expensive. Our crew can tell you the timing that fits your roof.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call, so get your gutters on the calendar early.
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 work around your landscape, and stand-offs keep the ladders off the gutter lip.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water flow at the outlet, so you know the line is clean. If a line drains into an underground pipe, we check that water is leaving and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves, but needles, seed casings and grit settle on top and underneath. We clear the surface, lift the panels, and reseat them, and the job is priced as a guarded system. Guards still need gutter maintenance, and a clean run under the guard is the point, so cleaning and maintenance go together.
If a clean gutter system still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not clogging. Send us a photo or short video of the rainwater overflowing and we will tell you what it is. When the flow is clear, the water should run away from your home, and a fascia that keeps getting soaked can rot, so we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
We price every job across Laplace the same way. Only if the crew finds something that changes the job does the price move, and you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
