Our crew cleans gutters on Tupelo homes, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our work here is booked in spring and fall, and that has been true for every season we have run this route. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar.
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 by phone or text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. The price covers the whole gutter system, not one run. Some companies that sell gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the house itself is what decides it.
What moves the price is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down with compacted leaf mat and a heavy buildup of grit, and those take longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On our Tupelo jobs we see the same pattern on houses with heavy tree cover: leaves and debris packed into the trough, seeds caught in the elbows, a twig or two jammed at the outlet, and water running over the front edge instead of draining through clogged downspouts. A back run with a sag and a blockage can keep rainwater from draining for a long time, and clearing it is the first step, not the whole fix. Left alone, standing water can cause rot in the fascia and then structural damage. The crew flags the rest, photographs it and reports it, because the point is keeping water away from your home. We do not sell a second cleaning to cover a slope problem.
If your home has a lot of trees or a long run of rain gutter, text a photo of the roofline and tell us how many stories. We check drainage at every outlet, so mention any downspout that already backs up. Commercial properties get the same phone quote, from the same three questions. That is enough for us to give you a number before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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 in Tupelo book twice a year, once in the spring after seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves. When we open a gutter here in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose by the time winter ends. The right time to clean your gutters is before the spring rains, not after the first overflow.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm our crew sees work for regular gutter cleaning, because needles and grit pack each downspout between visits and a clog builds faster than a twice-a-year schedule can catch. A trough that is clean in April can be packed again by summer. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still gets cleared, because seeds and grit settle on top of the guard. Our estimate is based on what we see at the first visit, and after that visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
A gutter cleaning service in Tupelo MS has to read the landscape as well as the calendar, because the trees on one lot can drop more than the trees on the next. If you want to clean less often, put gutter maintenance into the schedule first: a look after every heavy storm, and a note of any standing rainwater still in the trough a day later.
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 Tupelo and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and does the same work on every house, whichever part of town it sits in. Tupelo gutter cleaning starts with a call or text, using stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. Every homeowner gets the same question list. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the same details. Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we confirm the date on the call that books your clean. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so a slot booked early in those months is the one most likely to hold. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Whether it is a single house or a block of homes, every clean is done the same way, with photos before the truck leaves. Our gutter services include cleaning and maintenance on the whole trough, and every one of our cleanings covers every run, not just the one in view. If we find a leak in a seam or a problem outside the cleaning itself, it goes in the report, not onto the invoice. We check water flow at every outlet before we leave, and a clog caught on the visit is cleared before the truck goes. Residential and commercial jobs get the same photos and the same invoice as the number we gave you, and homeowners and residential properties get the same treatment. That is how we keep your gutters and downspouts working and protect your home from water damage at the same time.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a figure in writing before we have those details, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. If you are comparing cleaning services in Tupelo, ask every company whether the price includes the downspout flush and the haul-away.
Most of our customers book a spring visit and a fall visit, and the fall visit usually runs from November to early December. If you wait past those windows, we usually find a downspout packed and the runs heavier than they needed to be. Tupelo gets about 56.1 inches of rain a year, and April, May and December are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall lands right around both visits.
Lead time depends on the calendar that week. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We will not promise a same-day visit unless we can actually send a crew.
No, you do not need to be home. The 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.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that a clean stream is leaving at the outlet. If a downspout drains into an underground line, we tell you whether the water is getting out, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we price before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, gutter guards on a gutter system keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and turn into a mat. The surface still needs clearing, and the guards come up and go back on when we are done.
If the gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or downspout size, not a blockage. 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. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every visit: if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
