Our own crew cleans your gutters, flushing every downspout, flow-testing each run, hauling away what came out, and sending 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. Across Mississippi, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed, pollen and leaves are heaviest in the gutter. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to book a date.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for our gutter cleaning services depends on how many stories the house has, how large it is 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. The same three facts set the number for Brookhaven homes and for commercial properties. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we would rather you know the full figure before the crew is on the ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story, a steep pitch the crew cannot walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far above the ground, and gutters nobody has opened in years. A gutter that has gone long without service is packed with compacted leaf mat, and the crew spends more time breaking it loose before the gutter is clean again. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing each downspout, testing the water flow and hauling the leaves and debris away are part of the quote. If anything we find changes the price, we raise it before the crew starts.
On our jobs the clog usually starts at the elbows, where seeds and leaves collect and slow the water flow until the rain gutter backs up and water pours over the edge. We have opened runs with buildup thick enough to hold a sag in the trough, and once water is running behind the fascia the cost of the job is no longer only the cleaning. Clogged downspouts that send water toward the foundation, instead of carrying water away, are the fastest way to create structural damage, so we flush every downspout and watch the outlet until the water runs clear. Where a downspout feeds an underground drainage line, we check that water is leaving the site and tell you if it is not; clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
When we send a crew out for a homeowner, the experience is the same in the end: we are working out the drainage on a house, not selling a package. Tell us the stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the house, and send a photo of the house front by text if that is easy. That is enough for an honest number, and it lets us say up front where the price could move.
| 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 in Brookhaven MS book twice a year, in spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves come down. That is the rhythm our gutter cleaning service recommends for regular gutter cleaning on residential and commercial buildings alike. On our jobs in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the trough and holds the water. Local rainfall runs about 61.6 inches a year, and January, February and April are the wettest months, so a gutter that is not clean going into that heavy rainfall will overflow at the first hard storm.
Under heavy tree cover, a visit every few months keeps needles and grit from packing the downspout between visits. Homes with few or no trees near the roofline usually do fine with one visit a year in November or early December. Guarded gutters need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still has to be cleared, and the debris removal matters most, because whatever sits on top of a guard turns into a wet mat that runs off the front edge. If you are not sure, have us clean your gutters at the next visit and we will tell you what the trough was holding.
Across Mississippi, our spring visits run mid to late April, and by then the blockage is often at the downspout outlet. When we open a gutter in November, the trough is full of the leaf load that has built up since the leaves came down, and a clog has usually formed where the rainwater should leave. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Each visit ends with an estimate for the next one, and our crew keeps the notes on each house so the next clean starts where the last one ended.
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 every neighborhood we serve, not a single side of it. Homeowners book us for gutter services on houses of every size. Each visit covers gutters and downspouts from end to end, and we flush every downspout before the crew leaves. A single twig lodged at an elbow can back up a whole run, so the crew checks the elbows too. Booking for Brookhaven gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover you have, and a photo of the front of the house helps us judge the roofline before we arrive. If you have gutter guards, say so when you call and we will note them on the job. Lead time varies with the season, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The two busiest windows on the calendar are late spring and late fall, so if you want a particular week, the earlier you ask the better.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Cars come off the driveway if a run faces it, and a side gate left unlocked is all the access we need. Keep your gutters clean and they will protect your home from water damage. A small clog left alone turns into a leak at the seam, and a regular schedule of cleanings keeps the surrounding areas of the house from getting soaked each time it rains. A homeowner who keeps to that schedule knows what the next visit will cost before it starts. If you manage residential properties or several buildings, we set up the visits together so you only get one call. To book, call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo 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 to you by phone or text. It covers the cleaning and maintenance visit you are booking, and we do not quote a figure from the page, because the same two-story house can land at different numbers depending on what is in the gutters. Once we have the details, the price we give is the price we charge.
Most of our customers book a fall visit in November or early December. Across Mississippi, spring visits run mid to late April, and across Brookhaven the wettest months are January, February and April, so the gutters need to be clean before heavy rainfall. If the fall visit is skipped on a heavy-leaf lot, we often find sagging runs and ice-loaded gutters by the following spring, because winter freeze risk is real here. We would rather see you once in November than after a winter of water sitting in the trough.
Same-day slots come up when the calendar has room, so call (866) 435-6328 and ask for the next open date to get your gutters cleaned. Our cleaning services in Brookhaven start with that call, and the gutter cleaning process is simple: we confirm the exact date, and you know when the crew is coming before anyone is on the ladder.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and leaves the yard clean. Photos of every run and downspout go to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the outlet. If an outlet empties onto a landscape bed or a walkway, we check that the water is moving away from the house. If a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that the water is carried away from your home and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before we touch it.
Yes, a guarded gutter system still needs attention. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet the rain runs over it and off the front edge. We clear the surface, lift the panels, flush each downspout and reseat the guards. Guarded or open, gutter maintenance is what keeps the gutters clean and the water moving.
A clean gutter that still spills water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem, and left alone that overflow can rot the fascia board. Take a photo or a short clip of the overflow while it is raining and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning to fix a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, never after. 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.
