Our own crew comes out to clean gutters on Shreveport homes. Shreveport gutter cleaning is done by the people who climb the ladder: we flush every drop pipe, flow-test it, haul the debris off, and send photos of every run before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the roof. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Shreveport customers book in late spring and fall, and we have been doing that rhythm on our own jobs for years.
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 give you is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the job is measured. What moves a quote on our jobs is a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up in the air, gutters nobody has had a proper clean on in years and packed with compacted buildup, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can get to the trough.
Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in every job and never billed as extras. We flush each drop pipe and check the water flow and drainage at the bottom until it runs clear, and if a run will not clear we work it from the top. If you ask us to clean your gutters on a set schedule, the price you hear on the phone is still the price for each visit. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice, so you can say yes or no while we are still on the phone.
On our Shreveport jobs the quote usually comes down to the same three things. A two-story house with a clean gutter line and light debris is the simple case. A three-story house with a clog at the far end of the back run and a sag where the gutter pulled from the fascia is the harder one, and we say so on the phone before we are on the ladder. Our gutter cleaning services cover residential properties and commercial sites alike, and residential and commercial jobs are priced by the same rule, on every house. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the job small and the trough clean; a gutter left for two or three years means a longer visit and a more careful job.
| 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 Shreveport customers book twice a year, once in late spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and once in late fall after the last leaves come down. Across Louisiana the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, and the fall visit in late November to December. In spring the seed casings and pollen paste pack the elbows of the drop pipes. In fall it is leaves and debris gone wet and packed into a mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that have sagged under the weight by the next season. Shreveport LA averages 53.7 inches of rain a year, with March, April and December the wettest months, so clearing the roofline is how you protect your home from water damage.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, our customers are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the trough between visits. On a lot with a bare landscape, once a year in late fall is enough. Guards cut the frequency across the whole gutter system, but regular cleanings still clear the surface and check the flow. Even a clean gutter can fill with rainwater again during seed season. Clogged drain pipes back the water up into the trough, and water that sits there for a season can cause structural damage to the fascia. Where we see a blockage forming early, we flag it before it becomes a leak, and the next visit, with its estimate, comes sooner. A clog caught in the elbow from a small twig is a small job on the first visit and a bigger repair if it sits all season.
Freeze risk is real here, so a clog that holds water through a cold snap can turn to ice at the eave. Across Louisiana, hurricane season brings more landfalls than nearly any state, and a storm drops leaves and limbs into a rain gutter all at once. After the first visit a clean run is the baseline, so we flush every downspout on each return, tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and put photos of every run on your phone. Gutters and downspouts are the part of the house that gets forgotten until water starts coming through a wall, so keep your gutters on the schedule, which is the simplest part of all this.
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 work across Shreveport LA and the surrounding areas from our own crews, and we book the calls ourselves, so you get the same people who will be on the ladder. The quote comes by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm a date while you are on the line. Our gutter services run on the same booking calendar in both busy windows, the spring window and the fall window, so booking early gets you the slot you want and helps you get your gutters done before the rain.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for an outside job. If your gutters have overflowed in heavy rainfall, tell us when you call and we will put you near the top of the list. A homeowner who wants a regular schedule gets dates set for the year, so the gutter cleaning process stays on the calendar and the gutter maintenance does not slide. We keep the same crews on a schedule where we can, so we know what a clean run looks like on your house from one visit to the next.
Gutters need to be kept clean enough to keep the water away from your home, and that is the whole reason for the visit. Gutter guards may still need a visit, and that is a conversation we have on the phone, not a sale. Cleaning and maintenance together is what keeps a house from paying for water damage later.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those, because the same two-story house can be a quick visit or a long one depending on what is in the rain gutter. Commercial properties are priced the same way, by stories and size.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, and when they wait past those windows we find the seed paste, the leaves and debris packed tight, and clogged downspouts that need clearing from the top. Those are the two visits we plan around.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day depends on the calendar that day and how much the landscape around the house slows the crew, so we tell you straight.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain pipe to your phone before the truck leaves. We do not leave a run until it is clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every drain pipe and watch where the water goes, and we check the whole gutter system as we go. If a line runs underground and needs clearing beyond the outlet, that is a separate job, priced before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. On our jobs the surface still collects seed casings and grit, and the guards need to be lifted so we can see whether the trough underneath is clean.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope or drain pipe size, not debris. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. Left alone, standing water in a sagging run is how rot and structural damage start, and the whole job is to keep water away from the foundation. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree before work starts. The number 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.
