Our own crew comes out to clean gutters in Memphis, flushing every downspout, testing the flow, hauling the leaves away and taking photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the house, 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 we have been working these streets that long.
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 before the crew can clean them. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but on our jobs the house itself decides the number, not the length of the gutter.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets 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 lot puts the back run far above the ground. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come out with a packed clog of compacted leaf mat, and that takes more time than a light clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add minutes to every run. Once we see the house, we tell you what changed and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. We flush each downspout and watch the water run out the bottom, so you know the drainage is working, not just that the trough is clean. If the sag in a run is from a hanger that has pulled loose, we photograph it and show you, but that is a separate call and not a sale on the spot.
On a typical lot the work is quick, and a clean with light buildup takes less time. The buildup of leaves and seeds on the back run and the water flow at the bottom are what we check first. Our residential properties come in a mix of ages and layouts, and we have cleaned both the simple one-story runs and the tall two-story ones with heavy shade. Across our memphis homes the price spread is mostly about height and what is packed in, and we explain each line so there are no surprises when we finish.
We offer gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial customers, and cleaning services in Memphis follow the same approach: we look at the building, state the number and do the work. Our commercial properties get the same treatment as a house. Homeowners in the spring and fall seasons are our most common customers, and the same rule applies to them. If you want to clean your gutters on a schedule, the first visit sets the baseline and the later visits are usually quicker. Some customers choose regular gutter cleaning to avoid the long wait, and others book a one-time debris removal visit after a storm. Either way you get a written number before the crew starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.

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. Across Tennessee the spring visit falls in mid to late May, after the seed and pollen drop, and our fall visits here run late November to December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in the spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and in late fall it is a wet leaf mat that holds water against the roofline. Those are the two visits that keep a gutter running clear through the rest of the year.
Under heavy tree cover, we see the first clog form within months, not seasons. Needles and grit settle into the pipes between visits and build a blockage that starts to slow the rainwater at the bottom. Customers with that kind of lot are on a schedule of every three to four months, and that keeps the water moving. On a sparse landscape with few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for a clean on most houses.
Gutter guards change the pace but do not end it. Guards keep the big leaves out, yet the surface still needs a clean, so we see them less often and always check the surface. The rule of thumb we use on our estimate is simple: the more the lot is shaded, the shorter the gap between visits.
Freezing is a real risk here in winter, and the rain is heavy too: it totals about 55 inches a year, with March, April and December the wettest months. The runs that get the most water are the ones we check first. If the drainage is slow in March, it usually means the fall visit was skipped or the lot needs a shorter schedule. Keeping the gutter system clear keeps water away from the foundation and out of the walls, and keeps the fascia boards from starting to rot, which is how you protect your home from water damage and structural damage over the years.
Our crew keeps the same schedule for every visit in memphis tn, so you can plan around it. Many customers ask us to keep your gutters clear on one schedule and then add a visit after a big storm. Whether it is one visit a year or four, we look at the gutters and downspouts together, because a clear gutter with clogged downspouts still floods the yard. Our gutter services are built around that. 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.
Our crew works from the nearest base and covers the surrounding areas, and we book by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we ask about stories, approximate size and whether trees shade it. That is enough to give you a number, and we confirm the date once you say yes.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when most of our homeowners book at once, so the calendar fills faster in those weeks. Outside those windows slots open up sooner, and we tell you the next open date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
A homeowner with a leak from a split seam or a sagging run should tell us when booking, because the crew checks for it on arrival. Any twig or grit that is blocking a run gets cleared as part of a normal clean, and anything we find that needs a repair is photographed and reported, not sold. Our cleanings are scheduled in the order we find the calls, and the crew keeps the route tight so the day runs on time.
Some owners want to get your gutters done in a single visit before a sale or a storm, and we can usually fit that. A memphis gutter cleaning job is quoted the same way as any other: from the house, not from a guess. Our gutter maintenance plans follow the season and the tree cover. Leaves and debris go into bags and off the property, so we keep the mess away from your home and off the walkways. Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every call, from the first ladder placement to the last photo sent to your phone. For a cleaning and maintenance visit, the crew arrives on the scheduled window and works through the day, and for heavy rainfall weeks we move the calls up so the gutters run clear before the storm.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house, because the height and the amount packed in change the time on the ladder. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Our customers here book in the spring, after the seed drop, and again in late fall, which runs late November to December. If you wait past that, the runs fill and the drainage slows, and we see it at the outlets first. On our jobs the fall visit is the one that matters most for the water.
Most slots come up within the week, and in the busy spring and fall windows the calendar fills faster. We confirm a date when you call, and we will tell you the earliest opening we have to clean your gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Our 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 watch the water run out the bottom. 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, guarded gutters still need cleaning, though less often. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard and roof grit underneath, and the water runs off the front edge when that mat gets wet. We lift the panels, clear underneath and reseat them.
If a rain gutter that is clean still sheets water over the edge in rain, it is a slope or capacity problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we tell you what it is. 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 it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice. The number 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.
