Our own crew cleans gutters in McComb, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when we see the most runs packed with seed, pollen and leaves.
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 sitting in the gutters. We price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Some companies sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot; the total usually lands in a similar place, but you still get one number from us before anyone climbs a ladder. Calls about commercial properties get the same phone price, and we tell you on that call whether the job is one the crew takes on. Whatever the building, the crew leaves each run clean.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach safely. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run is higher than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a buildup of compacted leaves that have to be cleared by hand, and a run that has begun to sag holds water long after the rain stops. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on the same visit. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Any slow drainage, weak water flow or leak in the gutter system is flagged on the visit, and any repair is priced separately. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
The heavier jobs in McComb homes are usually ones with several large trees over the roof, where a rain gutter fills fast and the outlets clog. On heavy-canopy lots, leaves and debris pack the elbows of every downspout, and the crew clears each one by hand before the flush will run clean. Clogged downspouts stop carrying water away from the house, and a run left like that is how water finds its way behind the fascia and into structural damage, so the flush is part of the job, not an upsell. We ask for a photo of the front of the house by text when you book, and it helps us price the lot without guessing.

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 homeowners in McComb MS book twice a year, in spring and fall: once after the seed and pollen drop from trees in surrounding areas, and once after the last leaves come down. Across Mississippi, the spring visit lands in mid to late April. When we open a gutter here at that point, we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. The fall visit comes in late November to December, when the wet leaf mat sits on the runs, and on houses that skipped it we see runs that have sagged and pulled loose by January. Two cleanings a year keep the runs clean.
Residential properties under heavy tree cover do better on a shorter rhythm, every three to four months, because needles, twig and grit pack the downspout between visits, and a clog or blockage can start a gutter overflow quickly. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall covers most houses, and that leaves a clean gutter going into winter. Guards cut the work down, but the surface still needs clearing, so guards are visited less often rather than skipped. Regular gutter cleaning on that rhythm keeps the runs from packing before the next heavy rainfall. The time to clean your gutters is before the first heavy rain, not after the water is over the edge.
Gutters that run full after a storm, or after heavy rainfall in January, July and August, are often a sign the last visit is due, and we want to see the roofline before the rainwater finds its own path. A clean roofline sends water away from your home. After the first visit we give you a written estimate of which tier your lot needs, so the schedule is clear from the start. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same schedule. Gutter maintenance is a schedule, not one visit, and each visit includes the debris removal.
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 area from the nearest base, and we know the neighborhoods where the leaf load and tree cover shift from one street to the next. Across the area the landscape changes fast, from open lots to heavy canopy, so the price starts with where the house sits. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text for McComb gutter cleaning, built from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the busiest windows fill first, so the sooner you call before those windows, the better the chance of a date that suits you.
A homeowner doesn't need to be home for the visit; we call before we come. Our gutter cleaning process covers the runs, the gutters and downspouts, any gutter guards on the house, and the photos, and we flush every downspout before the crew leaves. Each run is left clean. Residential and commercial calls start the same way, with a price over the phone. If you want the crew on the ground during a busy window, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the address; we will confirm the date and the window on the phone. Gutter services stay on the same schedule once it is set, so the next visit is booked before the last one ends. Cleaning and maintenance on one schedule help you protect your home from water damage. Call now to get your gutters on that schedule and keep your gutters clear before the wettest months.
Our gutter cleaning service prices from the stories, the size of the house and what we find in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you one number over the phone.
Across Mississippi, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, once the seed and pollen drop. The fall visit comes in late November to December, when the wet leaf mat sits on the runs. Many homeowners book both.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. The crew runs cleaning services in McComb on a calendar, so if an opening comes sooner we tell you on the phone, and you can get your gutters clean before the next storm.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the runs clean, 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.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and we check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards stop leaves but not needles, seed casings or grit, and those build up on top of the guard. We clear the surface, flush each downspout and reseat the guards on the same visit, so the runs stay clean.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, it is usually a slope or downspout-size problem, not a buildup problem. Left alone, that spilled water can rot the fascia board behind it. Send us a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
Not without you hearing about it first. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we raise it before work starts and agree on it with you. Across McComb, the price we give you 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.
