Our own crew cleans gutters in Collierville, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, 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 on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work on local houses across Tennessee for years, with most customers booking in spring and fall.
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 give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price per linear foot, which lands in a similar place on most houses, but we would rather you know the full figure before the crew pulls up. Every homeowner gets one clean number in writing before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and more setup. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in a long time come out packed solid, which takes longer to clear, and a clean finish on those runs takes a little longer too. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add a step to each run, and the crew wipes each panel clean before it goes back in. Downspout flushing and flow testing are part of the gutter cleaning process, sit inside every cleaning and maintenance visit, and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Local homeowners book our cleaning services in Collierville for the same reasons: a clog at a downspout elbow that sent rainwater behind the fascia, a leak near a window after heavy rainfall, or a regular schedule to keep up with what the trees drop. When we open a gutter here we check the runs and the spots that keep water away from your home, and we tell you what we found. If you want to get your gutters on a plan, it is simpler than most people expect. Text us a photo of the front of the house, give us the three numbers, and we will confirm the date. Regular gutter maintenance on a schedule keeps the process short, keeps the gutters clean between visits, and helps protect your home from water damage later.

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 here book two cleanings a year, once in the late spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves come down. Those visits line up with what the landscape around the house drops at each point in the year.
In spring we see seeds, seed casings, pollen and the odd twig packed into the downspout elbows, and the gutter system often has a buildup of grit that has baked on since winter. We flush the elbows clear before we leave. In fall it is the leaves and debris, which turn into a wet mat in the rainy months and sit against the rain gutter until they start to rot. Clogged downspouts during the wettest stretch of the year are where we see the most rainwater running behind the trim. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have found runs with a sag in them, pulled loose from the fascia by the next wet season, and that is where structural damage starts.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the runs faster than a twice-yearly visit can keep up with. With few or no trees over the house, one visit a year in late fall, usually November to early December, is enough to keep a clean run moving water away from the foundation. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still needs clearing, and a clean trough is what keeps the water moving. Across Collierville, our gutter cleaning services follow the same tiers for commercial properties: after the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, and we adjust from there.
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 covers the surrounding areas across TN from the nearest base, and most of our calendar work is booked across Collierville homes in the same few weeks each year. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text, and we quote from stories, size and tree cover. A photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we will tell you the first date we have when you call.
Our calendar fills in two busy windows, the late spring after seed drop and the late fall after the leaves come down, so it helps to book early if you want a specific day. We call before we come, and the crew leaves a clean yard behind when nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Regular gutter cleaning keeps each visit short, and our gutter cleaning services set the next date when the first visit is done, so you are not chasing a slot each season. On every visit we flush each downspout and check the water flow and drainage at the outlet until the water runs clean. A clog at the outlet gets cleared by hand before we move on, and debris removal is included, with the crew bagging what it pulls out before it leaves. Clean your gutters on this schedule and the next wet stretch finds them ready. Each visit ends with a clean set of before and after photos on your phone. The same crew handles residential and commercial properties, and residential properties get the same photos and checks as any other job.
The number comes from stories and size, and our gutter services are quoted by phone or text before anyone climbs a ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front for an estimate, and we will give you the figure on the spot.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, we usually find the first ice and the leaf mat has already started to rot in the runs, so it is better to clean your gutters before the first ice. Booking the fall visit early helps keep your gutters clear through the winter and helps protect your home from water damage.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We cannot promise same-day work on every request, so book early if you need a specific day.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Keep the walkway clean, leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. Every downspout gets flushed with water and watched until it runs clean at the bottom. A clog or blockage that will not clear from below is worked from the top. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often, but the surface still needs clearing to keep the trough clean. Under guards we find needles threaded through, seed casings sitting on top, and grit settled underneath, and once that mat gets wet, rain runs over the front edge instead of into the trough.
If the gutter is clean and still sheets rainwater over the edge during a downpour, it is usually a slope or downspout-size problem in the gutters and downspouts rather than a cleaning problem. Send us a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The price we quote is the price on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the number in writing, so you have a clean record before the crew arrives.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
