Our own crew cleans gutters on local houses, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, leaves hauled off, and 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 overhead, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, and that is when our calendar fills.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
Our gutter cleaning services are priced from the stories, square footage and what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the number over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but on our jobs the stories and the height of the house at the gutter line decide most of it.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a steep pitch that we cannot walk changes the setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaf mat, and that takes longer to clear than a gutter that is kept clean every visit. Heavy buildup in a rain gutter adds time, and so does a run that has started to sag, because it has to be lowered and reseated. Clogged downspouts add time too, since each one is flushed until the water flow runs clear at the bottom. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Abilene homes, the usual trouble sits at the elbow of a downspout, where leaves and debris pack into the bend and water backs up behind the gutter. Once it is cleared and flushed, the run drains clean, and that is the kind of clog we look for on the ladder. Structural damage is what we watch for when a rain gutter has been holding water for a long time, and we photograph anything that looks like it. Getting the run clean is how we get water away from the foundation, and on houses in town we keep the drainage path open so the water keeps moving. Commercial properties follow the same logic per building, quoted by scope, and the quote still comes from what we find on the roof.
| One story | Two stories | Three stories or steep | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | from $150 | from $195 | from $255 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft | from $170 | from $225 | from $295 |
| Over 2,500 sq ft | from $200 | from $265 | from $345 |
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.
Our customers book in the spring and fall. Across Texas, the spring visit falls in late March to April, and the fall visit runs from November to early December. Heavy rainfall in May, June and September is when a clogged run shows first. When we open a gutter in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that have sagged or pulled loose before the year is out.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, our customers are on regular gutter cleaning every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a gutter can clog faster than a yearly schedule allows. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the gutter clean and the water moving. Every landscape is different, so the trees around the house set the schedule. Guards cut down how often the gutter needs to be opened, but the surface still has to be cleared, so guards do not remove the need for a visit.
Gutter cleaning in Abilene TX is a regular job, not a one-time fix, so clean your gutters on a schedule that matches the trees around the house, and gutter maintenance keeps the run open between visits. A clean gutter system also tells you early about a rainwater problem at the roofline, a blockage at the far end, or a seam that is starting to let water through. Debris removal is part of every visit, so the leaves leave with the truck. The routine is the same on residential properties, and residential and commercial buildings are quoted by scope. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and our gutter cleaning service gives you an estimate for the next visit in writing before we leave.
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 have cleaned gutters across Abilene and the surrounding areas, and the crew works from the nearest base without tying the schedule to a single street. The gutter cleaning process is short. Have the stories, the rough size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof ready, then call (866) 435-6328 and we quote by phone or text. A photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the setup, and we can often tell from that alone whether the job needs the lift. Our lead time shows up on the calendar when you call, and we confirm the date with you before we come. Every quote covers the whole gutter system, and our Abilene gutter cleaning crew will flush every downspout and leave the ground clean before it goes. Our gutter services include the haul-off and the photos, so there is nothing to chase after the truck pulls out.
Our calendar fills up in the spring and fall, so if you want a slot in those months, call early and you can get your gutters on the schedule before the rush. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Every homeowner who has had water damage from an overflowing gutter knows the cost of a blocked run, and a clean run is the cheapest way to protect your home from water damage. That is why our repeat customers keep your gutters on a steady schedule. A clean run moves water away from your home, and a twig or a handful of needles at the outlet is enough to stop it. Regular cleanings keep the run open. Any seam that starts to leak is photographed and reported, not sold on the spot. If you have gutter guards, the crew still clears the surface, because the job does not end at the guard.
Our cleaning services in Abilene are quoted from the stories and the size of the house, and you get the number by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story house with a steep pitch or a walk-out basement takes longer than a single-story house with a simple gutter run.
Our customers in Abilene usually book in the spring and fall. The fall visit runs from November to early December, and across Texas the spring visit falls in late March to April. Wait past the fall and what we find is the leaf mat and, on the houses that skipped the visit, runs that sag under the first cold rain. Freeze risk is real here, so trapped water matters once the weather turns cold.
Booking starts with your call, and we confirm the date then. We will tell you the earliest date we have when you book.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the yard clean, 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 the flow at the outlet, and the run should drain freely before we leave. Anything wrong with the gutter system gets photographed and reported. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
On our jobs, the guards keep the leaves out, but the needles, seed casings and grit still settle on top and under the guard. The surface still has to be cleared, so yes, guarded gutters still need gutter maintenance.
A clean gutter that still overflows during heavy rainfall has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Water that spills over the edge should have gone down the downspout and away from your home, and left alone that spill can rot the fascia. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning.
The price changes only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our cleaning and maintenance visits work the same way, so you can book with no surprises.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
