Our own crew cleans gutters in Hattiesburg, flushes every downspout, flow-tests the run and hauls the debris away, with photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Mississippi most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when seed and pollen drop and the last leaves come down.
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 at (866) 435-6328 or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A homeowner gets the same number in writing before the crew is scheduled. Our cleaning services in Hattiesburg are priced per house, with the gutters and every downspout done together. Companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, but on our jobs the number is set by the house, not the footage of trough. The quote covers making every run clean end to end, including the back run you cannot see from the driveway and the twig wedged at the elbow.
What moves it on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a sloped lot that puts the back run higher than it looks from the driveway, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with compacted debris, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and a leak found at a seam is quoted apart, while anything else that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice. A gutter with a clean trough and a clear downspout still overflows if the slope is wrong, and we say so.
On our jobs the quotes that surprise people are the tree-covered houses, where the leaf and needle load is heavier than the homeowner expected and gutter maintenance runs on a shorter cycle than an open one. On one of them, a customer who had seen water over the front edge after heavy rainfall asked us to check the rear run first; the rear was packed and the front was fine, and the price moved because that rear run took the most time. A blockage at a downspout elbow is often why a rear run overflows and sends water back toward the wall instead of away from your home. The gutter cleaning process starts with a photo, then the written quote, and repeat cleanings are priced from that same photo, with the quote covering cleaning and maintenance. Give us a photo of the front of the house by text and we will tell you what we expect to see. Ask for the quote in writing and you get it before anyone climbs, so you know what it is before you get your gutters cleaned.

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 Hattiesburg, most of our customers book twice a year, once in the spring after seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the leaves and debris come down. Across Mississippi our spring visits run mid to late April, and when we open a gutter then we find seeds and seed casings packed to the elbow of the downspout and a pollen paste sitting in the trough. Our fall visits in Hattiesburg run late November to December, and by then it is the wet leaf mat that has to come out. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose before the next spring.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the gutter system fill faster than the homeowner expects, and those houses go on every three to four months. A clean trough does not stay clean for long there. Homeowners with trees over the roof see this most, because needles and grit pack the clogged downspouts between visits, and a clog at the elbow is the usual result. Hattiesburg averages 61.7 inches of rain a year, and January, April and July are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall finds a rain gutter full of seeds and rainwater has nowhere to go. Near a busy road, a construction site or a landscape bed that drops mulch into the trough, the same applies. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most lots. Guards change the schedule a little, but the surface still needs clearing, and the downspout still needs a flush. Left through a wet winter, a sagging run turns into structural damage at the fascia and rot behind it.
After the first visit we tell you which of our gutter cleaning services your lot actually needs, whether it is a house or one of our commercial properties, and we put the photos in front of you so you can see it yourself. Clean gutters are only half of the drainage job, since the downspout has to carry water away from the foundation, and keeping your gutters on a schedule helps protect your home from water damage.
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 Hattiesburg MS and the homes in it, and we cover it from the nearest base without needing a special trip. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front by text, and we give you a quote from the stories, the size and the tree cover. Booking a gutter cleaning service takes one call or one text. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills fastest, are the spring and fall. The right time to get your gutters on the calendar is before those windows. Our gutter services include the downspout check, the debris removal and the photos, and we also serve surrounding areas from the same schedule.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Ask for a written estimate and we send it the same day we talk. The check looks for buildup in the trough, a clog at the elbow, a run that has begun to sag, and the water flow at the outlet, which tells us whether the drainage is holding. Whether you need to clean your gutters once a year or twice, the call starts with a photo. Our regular gutter cleaning covers residential and commercial properties. Most of the Hattiesburg homes we serve are residential properties, so the homeowner is the one we talk to most.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Two stories with normal tree cover is a standard quote on our jobs. Tell us the square footage and whether there are trees over the roof, and you have the number before the crew is scheduled.
Across Mississippi, spring visits land in mid to late April, and our fall visits run late November to December. If you wait past the fall visit, we find the wet leaf mat along the roofline and, in a cold year, the first ice at the eave. Those are the houses where runs sag before spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call, so you can keep your gutters on a steady schedule. If a same-day opening exists we will say so when you book.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run of gutters and downspouts 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 watch it until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it. The point is to get water away from your home, not just out of the trough.
Yes, less often. Under guards on a house with heavy tree cover we find needles threaded through, seed casings and grit on top, and once that mat is wet the water runs off the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath and reseat them.
Send us a photo or a short video of the rainwater going over the edge. A gutter that is clean and still overflowing has a slope or capacity problem, and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and you hear about it and agree before work starts, never on the invoice. The estimate given over the phone is the price you pay.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
