Our own crew cleans gutters and downspouts in West Monroe LA, flow-testing each run until it runs clean, then hauling the leaves and debris away. Photos of every run reach 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. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. Most of our West Monroe customers book in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the same schedule each time.
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 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. Companies that price by linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but we would rather give you one number for the whole house.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach safely. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down packed with compacted buildup, and a run that has started to sag takes longer to empty. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent West Monroe job, the house sat in a heavy tree landscape and the gutters were full of seed casings and compacted leaf mat. Once we opened the first run, we found the lower runs were blocked, so we flushed each one, checked the water flow, and flow-tested the whole system until it ran clean. The quote we gave on the phone was the number on the invoice. Most West Monroe homes need the same three things checked: the gutter run, each outlet, and where the drainage ends once it leaves the house.
Our gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial properties get the same approach from our crew. Work on residential properties in town is quoted by stories and size, and the commercial work is quoted per building and scheduled. Spring and fall are the two windows most homeowners pick, and a regular gutter cleaning schedule keeps the buildup from turning into a repair. If you want to clean your gutters on a set calendar, tell us when you call and we will hold the dates.

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 West Monroe customers book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and in fall it is the wet leaf mat that causes the clog.
Under heavy tree cover, we see a faster buildup, so those houses are on a three to four month schedule because needles, a twig or two, and grit pack the outlets between visits. A gutter system on a lot with few or no trees usually needs just one of these cleanings a year, in late fall. Gutter guards still need the surface kept clean, just less often than an open system.
A rain gutter that cannot drain holds the rainwater in the trough until it finds the nearest leak, so a clog in one run, or any blockage near the outlet, often shows up as a stain on the wall below. If you keep your gutters clean, you keep water away from your home and the foundation, and you protect your home from water damage and rot. We estimate the gutter cleaning schedule on the first visit, not from a chart, and we tell you which tier your lot needs before we leave. If you want to check your own roofline before we arrive, a photo of the gutter is enough to start.
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 covers homes across West Monroe and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and the neighborhoods we clean most often are the ones where homeowners tell us about heavy rainfall and clogged runs after storms. Booking for West Monroe gutter cleaning works by phone or text. We ask for stories, approximate size and whether trees hang over the roof, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send.
Lead time for gutter cleaning varies by season, and the two busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, when our calendar fills first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The gutter cleaning process starts with a check of the roofline and the outlets, then the runs are scooped clean and flushed. If you have a question about the gutter maintenance schedule for your lot, ask when you book.
Once you have a date, we send photos of the work and give you a written estimate before the job starts. West Monroe homeowners who want a regular plan can book the next visit as they get your gutters cleaned, so the cleaning and maintenance stays on one calendar. Ask us about the first visit and we will tell you what the lot needs.
Our gutter services are quoted from stories and size, and we give the number over the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Once we have those, the quote is the number on the invoice. Flushing and haul-off are in the price.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall. If the gutters wait past the fall leaf drop, the wet mat is harder to scrape clean and the clogged downspouts are more likely to back up before winter.
Our cleaning services in West Monroe usually have a slot 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 the earliest opening.
No, you do not need to be home. 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, we flush every downspout and outlet until the drain runs clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guards keep leaves out but not seed casings, needles or grit. On our jobs we find that buildup sitting on top of the guard, so the surface still needs a clean and the outlets flushed.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows usually has a slope or outlet size problem, not a blockage problem. Send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, and whether the fascia shows any structural damage. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell you before work starts and you agree to it, so the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
