Our own crew cleans gutters in Greenwood, MS, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters cleaned, and every run comes off the job clean. We have been doing this work in the spring and fall for years, and most of our local homeowners book in those two windows.
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 is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we would rather give every homeowner one figure for the whole house, covering the gutters and downspouts from start to finish.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more care on the edge. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave line, so the back run sits higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves that take real work to break loose, and a run holding that weight is often where a leak starts. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to every run. Once the trough is clean, the crew moves on to the next run. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Cleaning and maintenance on the gutters is one price for the whole house, and if anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Tree cover and a valley that has held leaves for a long time are the usual reasons a two-story quote moves. The crew cleared the valley first, then flushed every downspout, and photographed each run before the truck left. Every run came out clean, with good water flow at the bottom. The customer heard about the valley when we called to confirm the visit, so there was nothing to negotiate on the day. That is how we want every quote to go: the number we said is the number we charged, and any change was agreed before the first ladder went up.
| 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.
Across Greenwood, most of our customers book two cleanings a year. Across Mississippi, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after seed and pollen drop, and in our area the fall visit runs from November to early December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and a single clog at the elbow can back the whole run up. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, along with the leaves and debris under it, that causes trouble, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose or begun to sag by the time the rains settle in. Regular gutter maintenance in both windows keeps the runs clean and attached.
Under heavy tree cover, with big limbs hanging over the house, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, since needles and grit pack each downspout between visits and the buildup starts again before the next one. Clogged downspouts back the rain gutter up faster than a twice-a-year visit can keep ahead of. Houses with few or no trees need only one visit a year, in late fall, to clean your gutters before the wet months. Guards cut down how often the gutter system fills, but a heavily planted landscape still drops needles, seed and the odd twig onto the guard, so the surface gets cleared on the same cadence.
Across Mississippi, the question we hear most is whether a house needs the fall visit at all. Our answer is that the fall visit keeps water away from your home through the wet months, and skipping it is how the rot and structural damage start. A clean gutter going into winter is what protects the home from water damage, which is the real point. Greenwood averages 51.8 inches of rain a year, and February, April and December are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when the gutter gets tested. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in your gutters rather than a general rule.
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.

We offer cleaning services in Greenwood, MS, and our crew covers residential properties from the nearest base. We have cleaned gutters on homes like yours, including Greenwood homes that sit under mature canopy and on older houses with long valleys, and we serve surrounding areas too. Our gutter cleaning process starts with a simple booking: you tell us the stories, the approximate size and whether there are trees over the house, and we give you a quote by phone or text. A photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the eave line and the roofline, and how the drainage runs, but it is not required.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, and those are the spring and fall stretches when most customers want the work done. If you call in those windows, expect to be booked a little further out than usual. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. For homeowners who want a regular gutter cleaning schedule, we set the next date at the end of each visit so the cadence stays on track without a reminder from you. Each visit ends with a clean run and a date already on the calendar.
We also offer gutter services on a residential and commercial basis, and the crew handles both with the same care for the gutters and each downspout. Commercial properties are quoted the same way, by phone or text from the size of the building. Whether you need a single clean or a standing schedule, the first step is the same: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we will confirm a date. Our gutter cleaning services are booked through that same call.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and what we find in the gutters, so homeowners get the figure by phone or text rather than from a chart. Tell us the house is two stories and roughly how big it is, and we will quote the job. The quote we give is the number on the invoice.
In our area the fall visit runs from November to early December, after the last leaves, and across Mississippi the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April. If you wait past December, we often find runs that have sagged under the wet winter. Freezing is a real risk here, so water trapped in a sagging run can turn to ice at the eave. Booking both windows is how you keep your gutters working and protect your home through the wet months, and a clean fall gutter carries that winter rainwater down and away.
Most slots in Greenwood MS come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. We do not promise same-day work unless we have an opening that day, so ask when you book. The sooner you call, the easier it is to fit the visit in before the next storm.
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; that is the whole list. The crew leaves the yard clean.
Yes, every downspout is flushed with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, though less often. Guards hold whole leaves off, but needles, seed casings and grit get through and turn into a wet paste that causes a clog and stops the water from getting in. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards, and the trough comes out clean.
If a gutter that is clean still sends water over the edge in heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size, not leaves packed in the trough or a blockage in the downspout. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we call you and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice, and any change happens with your approval first, so the bill stays clean.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
