Our own crew cleans gutters in Southaven, flushes every downspout, flow-tests each run, hauls it all away, and photographs every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and the tree cover over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice. On our jobs most customers book in the spring and the fall, and the crew is the one you will see on the ladder.
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. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but a flat quote from stories and size is easier to check against your own house. Regular gutter maintenance, which for most homes means two cleanings a year, costs less than the repair a sagging run needs, and a clean trough is the cheapest version of that. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you a written estimate. Most homeowners who want a number before the crew shows up get it on the same call, because our gutter cleaning process starts with the number, not with a ladder.
On our jobs, the things that move the price are the ones we can see from the driveway and the ones we find once the crew is up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more care. A walk-out basement puts the back run much higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down heavy with compacted debris and a twig jammed in the elbow, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and flushing is what moves the water away from your home. A run that is clean at the top still needs the flow test at the bottom. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what that looks like on the houses we clean around here. Most homes with a tidy set of gutters and modest tree cover go quickly, and the cleaning and maintenance cost stays predictable. Where a homeowner has a heavy overhang of leaves and needles, or a landscape bed right under a downspout, the quote reflects the extra time to clear the runs and flush each downspout. Our cleaning services in Southaven are priced the same way: we tell you which of those applies to your house on the phone, so there are no surprises. A slow drainage path or a small leak at a joint is noted up front, not discovered on the invoice. Heavy rainfall in March, April and December is when a backed-up gutter does the most damage, which is why clearing the system before the rain matters more than the exact price. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule before the rain, ask for a written estimate and we will walk through each line of it.
| 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 book two cleanings a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Mississippi the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and our fall visit usually falls in late November to December. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is leaves and debris that build up in the trough, along with the wet mat on top. Houses that skip the fall visit show the cost by late winter, with a trough that is no longer clean, runs that sag or pull loose from the fascia, and water spilling behind the gutter line.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see work, because needles and grit pack the clogged downspouts between visits. Regular gutter cleaning services on that schedule keep the trough from filling. With few or no trees, a clean gutter once a year in late fall is usually enough. Near a busy road or a construction site, the grit alone pushes a lot toward the shorter interval, and a landscape bed piled with mulch can do the same. Gutter guards change the frequency but not the need: they hold leaves off, but the surface still needs clearing, so we still book the visit.
Across Southaven the wet months are when the buildup moves fastest, and we plan around them. The city gets 54.9 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are March, April and December. Our crew keeps a close eye on the gutter system across the whole season. We flush each run where it is needed, because a clogged run that sits through a heavy storm can start to rot the board behind it and cause structural damage. A rain gutter that is clean keeps water away from the fascia, and that is the whole point of the visit. Commercial properties on the same routes get a schedule that matches their roofs, and residential jobs follow the same logic. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing.
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.
We cover Southaven from our nearest base. Our gutter cleaning services reach the surrounding areas too, and the crew works the whole city rather than a single zone. Booking for our cleaning services starts with a phone call or text about your stories, your square footage and the tree cover, and a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the lead time for your street. Most calendars fill up in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early in those months gets you a date that suits you.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The crew works from the outside and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Our gutter cleaning service works the same way for residential and commercial customers: a date, a window, and a clear word on what is included. Southaven homes with a clog in the elbow or a run that has started to sag get a note on the booking, so the crew brings the right ladder. Some owners try to clean your gutters with a hose, but that only washes the buildup down to the downspout, which is where it clogs. The crew clears the buildup in each run, checks the drainage at the outlet, and watches the water flow until it runs clear. Debris removal is part of the visit and is priced in from the start, and residential properties get the same photos as everyone else. A clean run is quick to confirm, and the photos show it. Text a photo of the house front if you are not sure how the house is laid out, and we will tell you what to expect. Our gutter services include the flush, the check and the haul-away, with nothing added at the end.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Tell us the square footage, whether it is two stories, and whether there are trees over the roof, and we will price the job on the spot. Southaven MS houses are priced the same way, and the price we give you is the price you pay.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after the seed drop and again in the fall after the last leaves. If you wait past the first hard rains, rainwater has nowhere to go, and we find the trough full, a blockage at the elbow and sometimes a clog in the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate, and we will tell you which visit your house needs first and how often to keep your gutters clear.
Most slots for our gutter services come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If a same-day window is open on your street or in the surrounding areas, we will tell you on the phone.
No. Our crew works outside and texts you the photos of every run and downspout once the job is done. Give us access to the side yard, keep the back yard clear around each downspout, and keep the dog indoors while the crew is working.
Yes, we flush every downspout, flow-test it, and check that the water runs clean at the outlet, because gutters and downspouts only work as a pair. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes, usually less often, but the surface still needs clearing, which is how you protect your home. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and water running over the front edge, so the visit still matters.
If a gutter is clean and rainwater still sheets over the edge, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size rather than a clog or blockage. Send us a photo or a short video of the roofline in the rain, and we will tell you what it actually is. Left alone, that overflow works its way toward the home from water damage, so send it early. A slope problem needs a different fix than a second visit, and we will say so.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, never after. The quote we give on the phone is the amount on the bill.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
