Our own crew cleans every gutter run, flow-tests it, hauls the leaves away, and sends photos before we leave, so you can see the gutters are clean. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over it, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been working those two visits across Mississippi long enough to know what each one turns up.
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, its size and what is sitting in the runs. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per run, but the phone quote is the one that matters to you.
On our jobs the things that move the number are the same every time. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means the crew needs a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ground. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the height the crew has to reach. A gutter system nobody has opened in years comes out packed with compacted leaves, and a clog at the outlet adds more time on top of that. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing the outlets, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what the experience looks like on our work. The houses that take the most time are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof and a long run of gutter that has gone a few seasons without a clean. Those are the jobs where the gutter fills to the lip and water starts to sag the run before anyone notices. Once the run is clean and the outlets are flushed, the flow test shows whether drainage and water flow can carry the rain away from the house. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy to take, and we can tell you a lot before we ever get on the phone. We name the neighborhoods only where the job is supplied to us in writing, and we do not give a figure for a job we have not done.
Residential properties are the bulk of what we clean in Ocean Springs homes, and the same crew handles residential and commercial properties, though the commercial buildings are scheduled per building. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance keeps buildup from forming in the first place, which costs far less than the water damage a clogged run or a leak leaves behind. So you rarely have to clean your gutters on a ladder yourself. To get a quote on your house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the number.

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 book twice a year, in spring and fall: across Mississippi the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from December to early January, after the last leaves come down. Those two visits protect your home from water damage, and they keep ocean springs ms gutters running clean without a fuss.
In spring the outlet elbows are packed with seeds, seed casings, a twig or two and pollen paste. In fall it is leaves and debris, and wet leaves lay down a mat that becomes a blockage and holds rainwater against the gutter. Freezing is possible here, so the late-year visit is mostly about clearing that mat before winter, and it is the visit most often skipped. Rain here totals 65.9 inches a year, and heavy rainfall hits hardest in June, July and August. On the houses that skip the fall visit, the gutters and downspouts are sagging and pulling loose by the next spring, and a run that pulls loose can lead to fascia rot and structural damage.
Under heavy tree cover or a dense landscape, we see customers on a schedule of a clean every three to four months, because leaf litter and grit pack the runs between visits, and on those lots we flush every downspout at each visit. If there are few or no trees, one visit a year, the December to early January cleaning, is enough for most lots. If the house has gutter guards, the cleanings come less often, but the surface still needs to be cleared, since debris settles on top of the guard along the roofline even when the gutter underneath stays open.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs for gutter maintenance, based on what we found when we opened the gutters. Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 and we will put you on the calendar, and we will help you keep your gutters clear through the rainy season.
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 surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we work every address the same way. Booking starts with a quote for our gutter services by phone or text, using your stories, the size of the house and whether there is tree cover shading the house, plus a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, so book early if you want a date in those weeks.
We call before we come, and no homeowner needs to be home for the work. If you are not around, the crew sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves, so you see the work when the gutters are clean. The Ocean Springs gutter cleaning process runs the same whether the house is a single-story ranch or a three-story place with a steep pitch, and the crew carries the leaves away from your home. To get your gutters on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm the date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you as an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details, because a two-story house with heavy leaf load costs more than one with a clean gutter. Once we have the details, the number we give you is what you pay.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Across Mississippi the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from December to early January, after the leaves come down. If you wait past that visit, the wet leaf mat is still sitting in the gutter when the rain starts, and we find runs sagging by the next spring on the houses that skipped it.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week. Most of our cleaning services in Ocean Springs come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call so you know exactly when the crew arrives.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. The same is true at commercial properties. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and that is the whole list.
Yes, we flush the run with water and watch it run clean at the bottom, and clogged downspouts get the same check. We also check that water leaves at the outlet. If a drain line runs underground and water is not coming out, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and gets quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, a gutter system with guards still needs cleaning, though less often. On our jobs across Ocean Springs, the mesh catches small leaf fragments, and seed husks and pollen collect on the panel while grit settles below. Once that mat is wet, rain runs over the guard and off the front edge, so the surface still needs a clean to keep water away from the house.
If a rain gutter is clean and still spilling water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or the size of the outlet, not a clog. Send us a short video of it in the rain, and if we see rot behind the run we will say so. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts. The invoice matches the quote you were given.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
