Our own crew cleans your gutters, flushes every outlet and flow-tests it, hauls away the debris, and sends photos of every run 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. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and the last leaves have finished coming down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
For Flowood gutter cleaning, the price depends on stories, 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 quote is the number we charge. Services that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place per run, but the total is what counts when the truck pulls in.
On our jobs the quote moves for four reasons. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, with years of buildup and a clog at every elbow, and that takes longer than a seasonal clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. Work on gutters and downspouts, meaning flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal, is part of the quote, not an add-on. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our work here shows how this plays out. On one job a family with a two-story house and heavy tree cover had a sag that the crew caught before it turned into rot or structural damage. The run was cleared, the clog was flushed out, and the outlet was checked until water flow ran steady away from the foundation. The quote was set on the phone from the stories and the trees, and it was the number on the invoice.
Residential and commercial jobs are scoped the same way, and commercial properties follow the same logic per building. Gutters that carry a heavy leaves and debris load after heavy rainfall, or clogged downspouts that back water up toward the gutter line, take more time than a light seasonal visit, and the crew says so before the ladder goes up. Rain gutter systems that have never been flushed are the most common reason a job runs long, and we would rather tell you that on the phone than bill it later.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate from those three things. Flowood homes with a single story and light tree cover are usually the quickest quotes we do.
| 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 Flowood MS book twice a year, once in spring and once in the fall. Across Mississippi, spring visits run mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and fall visits here run November to early December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in that spring window, seeds and pollen paste are packed into the elbows. By November it is a wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by the next wet season.
Under heavy tree cover on residential properties, or near a busy road or construction, regular gutter cleaning runs every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig build up and cause a clog or blockage between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in the fall is enough for most lots, and gutter maintenance then means one visit and a photo of each run. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but cleaning and maintenance still covers the surface, because seed casings and pollen mat on top of the guard are where water stops getting in.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. The rainwater that comes off a clean roofline should be moving water away from your home, and the first visit is where we check that. For most lots, two cleanings a year is the simplest way to keep your gutters draining, and each visit ends with a photo of each run, so the record of what we found stays with you. If you see water spilling over the edge in a storm, ask us to clean your gutters as soon as you can rather than waiting for the next visit.
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.
The crew covers the city as a whole, across Flowood MS and the surrounding areas, and works out of the nearest base across the region. The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Once a slot is set, we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, spring and fall, when most customers book. Booking early keeps you on the schedule you want. On every visit we flush every downspout, and each gutter cleaning service date is set on a fixed route through the neighborhood, so that homeowner calls get a confirmed date rather than a guess.
Gutter services are the core of what we do here, and a clean gutter system helps protect your home from water damage, keeping water off the foundation and away from your landscape beds. A clean system is less likely to leak or drop a run. If something other than cleaning turns up on the roof, we photograph it and put it in the report, and we do not sell it on the spot. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set up the first visit and tell you what your lot needs.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Give us the stories, the square footage and whether there are trees over the roof, and we will give you the price we will charge.
Most of our customers book in spring and in the fall, because that is when the seed drop and the last leaves are finished. If you wait past those windows, the wet leaf mat and the load are heavier when we arrive and the job runs longer.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, so you know what to expect before we arrive.
We offer full service across the city, with the crew clearing runs by hand and flushing every outlet on each visit. The process starts with a phone or text quote, then a booked visit, then photos of every run before the truck leaves.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run 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 check the drainage at the outlet. Any outlet that dumps onto a landscape bed or lawn edge gets an extension where the splash keeps soaking the foundation. If the drain runs underground and needs clearing beyond a flush, we tell you before we touch it, and that work is quoted separately.
Yes. Gutter guards still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often. On our jobs we find seed casings, pollen and grit sitting on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet, water runs over the front edge instead of getting in. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still sends water over the edge has a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it actually is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The number we quote is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Yes. Single-story homes are usually the quickest quotes we do.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will confirm a date. After heavy rainfall, the overflow shows which run is blocked, so tell us where the water came over when you call.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
