Our own crew cleans gutters in Thibodaux, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf fall are at their heaviest. To book, call (866) 435-6328, and we will confirm your date before we hang up.
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. Every quote is a single estimate built from those three things, given over the phone or by text, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is counted. Ours is one number for the whole job, so there is no per-foot math to check. Each return visit is quoted the same way, because regular gutter cleaning uses the same three inputs.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk moves the quote up, and so does a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters nobody has opened in years take longer, because the compacted leaf mat has to be broken loose before it can be bagged. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing the downspouts, a water flow check and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If something we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is how it looks on the Thibodaux homes we clean. A customer with heavy trees over the back of the house had a clog in one run and a sag near the corner, and was quoted on the phone from stories and tree cover, and the price on the invoice matched it. On a residential job like that, the clog and the drainage problem are usually the same problem, so we clear both on one visit. For a house with no overhanging trees, the buildup is much lighter and the job moves quickly when we clean your gutters. Ask for a photo of the house front by text if it is easy, and we can usually quote from that alone. Gutter cleaning services like ours are priced the same way for residential and commercial work, so residential properties and commercial properties both get one up-front number, set by what we find on site, and we say so up front. The same rule holds in spring and fall, so the season does not change the number.
| 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 Thibodaux customers book a spring visit after the seed and pollen drop, and a fall visit once the leaves are down, which for us means December to early January. In spring we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows and a pollen paste sitting in the trough. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on the houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose or sagged by the time the rain settles in. Here June, July and August are the wettest months, at 71.1 inches of rain a year, so a run that is clogged going into summer fills quickly.
Under heavy tree cover, come back more often than a lot with few trees, because needles and grit pack into the downspout elbows between visits and a clog starts forming before the next full cleaning, so we flush every downspout on each return visit. A roofline with few or no trees is usually fine with one visit a year, in the fall. Guarded gutters need fewer visits, but the top of the guard still has to be cleared, because the mat of leaves and seed casings sits on it and does not go through. A clean gutter can still overflow in heavy rainfall once a blockage forms at the downspout, and a sagging run can lead to structural damage, so the schedule is set by what hangs over the gutters, not by the calendar alone.
After the first visit we give you a schedule estimate that names which tier your lot needs, and we put it in writing so the schedule is clear to you and to us. Regular upkeep keeps rainwater moving away from the foundation and out of the gutter system, and it helps protect your home from water damage, which is the whole point of the visit. The same schedule covers homes in the surrounding areas. Keep your gutters clean on the schedule we set, and the gutters and downspouts will rarely spill water over the edge. Our gutter services follow the schedule you choose.
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 Thibodaux and the surrounding areas. Thibodaux gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text, built from your stories, your home's size and whether trees hang over the house. From there the gutter cleaning process runs the same way every time, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. If you have gutter guards, tell us when you call, because they change the visit. Lead time depends on the week, and when you call (866) 435-6328 we confirm a date. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, so if you want a slot in those months, it pays to call early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. For a Thibodaux homeowner, that means one phone call to set the date and one text when the crew is on the way. Once the visit is done, you get photos of every run and downspout on your phone, which is the same record you need if the gutters ever need a second look. Leaves and the odd twig go into bags and leave with the truck, the yard is left clean around the landscape beds, and debris removal is part of every visit. Anyone booking for a rental or a second property gets the same visit, photos and invoice.
Cleanings on a set schedule are easier to keep, and our cleaning and maintenance visits are set up that way. Gutter maintenance done on time keeps the water away from your home and helps you avoid the heavy rainfall problems that show up in the wettest months, June through August here. If a seam starts to leak between visits, we photograph it and report it rather than selling a repair on the spot. Get your gutters on the calendar now, and we will confirm the rest on the phone.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters, and it covers the whole gutter system. We give it to you on the phone or by text. We do not quote a price range here because it changes with the job. The number we give is the number you pay.
Our customers here book a spring visit after the seed drop, and a fall visit between December and early January, after the last leaves come down. If you wait longer than that, the gutters are harder to clean and we usually find a heavier clog and a longer job. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see sagging runs, wet fascia and some rot by the time winter rain arrives.
Same-day depends on the week for cleaning services in Thibodaux. We book across Thibodaux the same way every week, and we give you a confirmed date when you call so you know exactly when the crew is coming.
No, you do not need to be home. 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, and tell us about any landscape beds near the downspouts.
Yes, every downspout is flushed with water and checked until it runs clean at the bottom, because a downspout that does not carry water away from the foundation is no use. If clogged downspouts turn up, we clear them and flush again. Where a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards keep leaves and debris out, but seed casings, needles and grit still get through, and that mat sits on top of the guard and blocks the flow. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards.
A rain gutter that still spills over the edge after a cleaning has a slope or downspout problem, not a cleaning problem, and a run left sagging can lead to structural damage. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. The quote is based on the stories, the size and the tree cover, and anything we find that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, so the invoice matches what you agreed to. The same rule holds on commercial properties.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
