Our own crew can clean gutters for New Orleans homeowners, flushing each drain pipe until it runs clear, hauling the waste away and photographing every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Louisiana, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we keep the calendar open for both. Many New Orleans homes sit under heavy tree cover, so the crew checks the gutter system before anything else.
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, on this visit and on later cleanings. To get your gutters quoted, call (866) 435-6328 or text us those three numbers. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the run is measured, but we would rather give you one number up front than make you do the math. Every homeowner gets the same kind of quote, whether the house has gutter guards or not, and our gutter cleaning process starts right there.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are 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 and packed with compacted muck and the odd twig, and guards we have to lift and reseat before the cleaning can start. Flushing the drain pipes, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and the waste goes away from your home in the truck. A clog at an elbow is what we look for first when water runs over the edge, and a leak at a seam gets the same look, because good drainage is the whole point. If anything we find changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a New Orleans job we had a two-story house with heavy tree cover where the back run was packed with seeds and leaf mat, and the first drain pipe would not drain until we flushed it from the top. That one needed the full visit and a second look at the outlet before we signed off. Each job is different, so the quote comes from what we see when we are there, and the photos show you exactly what we found and what the gutters look like when they are clean. Gutter cleaning and maintenance are priced as one job, so the number holds, and a repeat gutter maintenance visit is quoted the same way. Our cleaning services in New Orleans follow the same rule. Ask for a quote by phone or text before heavy rainfall starts, and send a photo of the front of the house if that is easy.
| 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 twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves have come down. Across Louisiana the heavy rainfall months run from June through August, so the spring visit usually clears what the winter left behind and flushes the drain pipes before the wet season starts. A clean rain gutter in June handles the wet months far better than one packed with seed, and clear runs move water away from the foundation.
In spring we find the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and that is how clogged downspouts start and how a clog builds. In fall it is the leaves and debris and the wet mat they turn into, and the runs that were not cleared sag or pull loose by the next season. A sagging run can end in structural damage at the fascia, and standing water is how the fascia board starts to rot. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm, because needles and grit pack the drain pipes between visits. With few or no trees and a tidy landscape, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Commercial properties near a busy road or a construction site get the same closer schedule, and a clean run matters more there.
Guards cut the work, but they do not end gutter maintenance on the whole gutter system. We still clear the surface litter and check the drain pipes, and we see the same needles and grit underneath. Across New Orleans, regular gutter cleaning is what keeps the run clear between visits, and our gutter cleaning services follow that schedule. Whatever the schedule, the aim is to keep your gutters flowing through a storm. After the first visit we tell you how often to clean your gutters on your lot, and we keep the schedule from there.
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 across New Orleans LA and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we keep the calendar filled by the week for New Orleans homes. Our gutter cleaning services in New Orleans cover residential and commercial properties, and the booking is the same either way. Gutter services on residential properties and commercial properties are quoted from stories, size and what is in the gutters. Most of our bookings come in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall visits, so if you want a slot in those months it pays to call early. A run that has started to sag, or a clog left through the winter, is how buildup and drainage trouble start, so the sooner you call the better. Outside those windows the crew can usually fit a job in within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
Booking a gutter cleaning service with us is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text, tell us the number of stories, roughly how big the house is and whether trees hang over the roof, and send a photo of the front if that is easy. We quote from those details and set a date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Before we leave we check water flow through every run. Debris removal is part of every visit: we haul everything away from your home, and we clean up after ourselves. Ask us how often to clean your gutters, and if you are on a larger property or have a standing schedule, we set up regular gutter cleaning once and keep it going.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, so we quote it by phone or text rather than from a chart. Once we have those three details you get one estimate, and that is the number on the invoice. Flushing gutters and downspouts and the haul-off are already in it.
Most of our customers in New Orleans LA book in late spring and again in late fall. Waiting until the wet season leaves the gutters packed with leaf mat is when we see the most trouble, with rainwater running behind the edge and a blockage at the roofline. Freezing is not a concern here, so the fall visit is about clearing the leaves, not ice.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. If you need something sooner, tell us and we will check the calendar for what is open, including homes in the surrounding areas. A clean, unhurried visit is what we aim for, even on a short-notice job.
No, our crew works outside and does not come into the house. We send photos of every run and drain pipe to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. When the crew is done, the gutters are clean and you have the photos.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. If a clog sits in a drain pipe that feeds an underground line and will not clear from the surface, we tell you and quote that separately before touching it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep out the leaves but not the needles, seeds and grit, which mat on top and run off the edge when it rains. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the drain pipes and reseat the guards. Regular gutter cleaning, guards or not, is how you keep your gutters flowing, and it helps protect your home from water damage.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge is usually a slope or drain pipe size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not, and the same holds for all of our gutter services. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts, so the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
