Shenandoah gutter cleaning comes from our own crew in Shenandoah LA, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Across Shenandoah, the price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Louisiana, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is when we get the most calls from homeowners here. A clean gutter line is how you protect your home from water damage, and the trough and the outlets are where we start. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on stories, square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it by phone or 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 house the per-foot math rarely tells you what the crew will actually face on the ladder. Our gutter cleaning services are priced from the house itself, so the number fits Shenandoah homes rather than a chart. The quote covers a clean and a flush, nothing extra.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep pitch that is not safe to walk adds time and a lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground than the front. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with a heavy buildup of compacted debris, and that takes longer than a light clean. A run that has started to sag needs resetting before it drains properly. A clog at the elbow is cleared on the same visit, not quoted later. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and clogged downspouts get cleared as part of the same job. If something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
On one recent house with heavy tree cover and two stories, the crew found the rear run packed with leaves and seed casings, and the outlets clogged at the elbow. The quote moved because of the tree cover and the time needed to clear the rear run. Most of the homes we see here have the same kind of load after a season of wind. The houses in the older neighborhoods with heavy tree cover and large lots tend to need more time at the elbows and in the lower runs. Clogged gutters that sit through a wet season cause structural damage to fascia and soffit, and getting the water away from the foundation is the point of the visit. Leaves and debris in the trough are the first thing we clear, then we run water through every run to check the water flow. Every run gets a clean from the top down, and the drainage path from the eave to the ground is what we check last. Landscape beds below the outlets catch the runoff, so we check where it lands. Commercial properties with long gutter runs are quoted on the same stories and tree cover basis.
If you have a question about your house specifically, text a photo of the front and tell us the number of stories. We will give you a number and tell you what we are looking for on the ladder.
| 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 spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Louisiana the pattern is the same. In spring, the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste pack the outlet elbows. When we open a gutter here in May we find that mix pressed into the elbows and the bottom of the run. A clog in the elbow in spring means the rainwater has nowhere to go. In fall, the leaf load is the problem, and the rainy season is coming in behind it. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs that pulled loose by the time the weather turned. Shenandoah gets 64.8 inches of rain a year, and May is among the wettest months, so heavy rainfall lands right when that mix is sitting in the gutters. Most homeowners ask when to clean your gutters, and the answer here is spring and fall. The first clean of the year is the heavier one, and it is the one that keeps regular gutter cleaning on track. Our schedule follows that pattern for residential and commercial work alike.
Heavy tree cover changes the schedule. Under big trees, needles, grit and the odd twig pack the outlets between visits, and most of those houses are on a clean every three to four months. A house with few or no trees usually needs a single visit in late fall. Guards reduce how often a gutter fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters are on a longer interval, not no interval. A leak at a seam usually shows up after the first heavy storm, and a run that starts to sag is the first sign the trough is holding water. Gutter maintenance is simpler to plan than a repair, and cleaning and maintenance on a set schedule is easier on the fascia than a rebuild.
When a customer on a twice-a-year schedule has no trees hanging over it, the work is mostly the spring and fall flush. A customer with heavy tree cover on a three-to-four-month schedule is usually clearing the same elbows several times a year, and the crew finds the same blockage each time. Whichever tier a house falls into, the goal is to keep water moving away from the foundation and out of the trough. Keeping water moving away from your home is the same job on every tier, and a rain gutter that drains clean is the only measure that counts. Ask for an estimate, and after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 run the route from the nearest base, and we have worked the neighborhoods across town as well as the rural lots on the outskirts. Homeowners get the same gutter cleaning service on every house, and our gutter cleaning process starts with a call. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text. We ask for the number of stories, a rough square footage, and whether trees hang over the house, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season; the two busy windows are spring and fall, when most homeowners think about gutters at the same time. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Every gutter system gets the same check: we flush every downspout and watch it run clear. Homes with gutter guards go on the same route, and the guards come off and go back on every visit. A clean that skips the flush is not a finished job, and the clean is only half of it. The quote is the number we will charge, and if we see something that changes the job, you hear it first. Keep your gutters working through the rain season and we will keep the flush on schedule. Our crew works on residential gutter services for every homeowner who wants to protect their home from water damage across Louisiana, and we keep the surrounding areas on a standard route so the next visit is easy to plan. Our cleaning services in Shenandoah cover residential properties and the gutters and downspouts on them, and the cleanings are scheduled on the same route. Want to get your gutters on the schedule? Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not give a range here because the house decides it, not the price list.
Most of our customers book late spring and late fall. If the fall visit gets skipped, we see runs that sag over winter under the weight of wet leaves and ice, and fascia boards that start to rot behind them.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and we tell you honestly when the crew can get to your house.
No. Our crew works outside, 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, every outlet gets flushed and we check where the water goes. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under guards we find needles and seed casings threaded through the mesh and grit settled underneath. A gutter system with guards still needs clearing on top, and the interval is usually longer than for an open gutter.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The quote is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
