Our own crew cleans gutters in Addison, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, 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 over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work for years across Texas, and spring and fall are when most people book.
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. Our cleaning services in Addison TX are quoted from those three things, over the phone or by text, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Every homeowner gets that same kind of quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and you have a number before anyone climbs a ladder. Companies that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, but the per-foot math hides what the crew actually finds up top.
On our jobs, these are the things that move a quote. A third story, or a pitch too steep to walk, means more time on a boom or scissor lift and more setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run is further up than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted muck and the odd twig wedged in the elbow, which takes longer to clean by hand. Lifting and reseating gutter guards adds time on every run, and a clog hidden under a guard takes longer to find than one sitting in the open. Flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included and are never billed as extras, and everything we pull out goes away from your home in the truck. Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every house, and gutter maintenance is priced from the same three things. If something changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our jobs vary a lot. On one recent visit, the house had a mature tree canopy and a clogged run that had not been opened in a long time, and what we found was packed muck that had started to back water over the front edge. We cleared it by hand, flushed it through and sent the photos before we left, and the run was clean at the outlet when we were done. A run like that backs up fast in heavy rainfall, and the wettest months here are May, June and October. Clearing a run early is how you protect your home from water damage. That is the kind of visit that tells you what a cleaning costs for your house, which is why we quote from what we can see and then stick to it. If you are not sure what your house needs, text us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we see.
| 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.
Most of our customers book twice a year, once in late spring after the seeds and pollen have finished dropping, and once in late fall, usually late November to December, after the last leaves are down. When we open a gutter here in spring, we usually find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and clogged downspouts are the first thing to clear. In fall it is leaves and debris in the trough, and a full trough will leak at the seams. In the winters that freeze we find the first ice and the ice dams at the eave. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have seen runs that sag or pull loose by March, and water sitting in a run that sags can rot the fascia board behind it, which is where structural damage usually starts.
Frequency depends on what is around the house. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is common, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits, and a rain gutter full of needles holds water right at the eave. Near a busy road, a construction site or a freshly graded landscape, the gutters need a clean every bit as often as the tree-lined ones. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Drainage carries water away from the foundation, so one blocked outlet can turn into a foundation problem. Guards mean fewer visits, but a gutter system with guards still needs its surface cleared, so a guarded system is not a no-visit system. We set these intervals across Addison house by house.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Regular cleanings work well when we keep the notes from every job, so the next visit starts where the last one ended, and you can see when the gutters were last clean. Our goal is to keep your gutters on the interval the house needs and nothing more.
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 book Addison homes from the crew's base and cover the surrounding areas. Booking a gutter cleaning service starts with a quote by phone or text, from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. Homeowners can call (866) 435-6328 for that quote, and the lead time is posted on it. We call before we come, so nobody needs to be home for the visit. The busiest windows on the calendar are spring and fall, and buildup from the season is heaviest then, so if you want to get your gutters done before May, one of the wettest months, book early.
Residential and commercial gutter work both run off the same schedule, and we keep residential properties and commercial properties on separate lists so the crew knows which building it is walking into. If you want to clean your gutters on a fixed cycle, tell us when you call and we will set the dates, along with cleaning and maintenance visits that fit the house. Our crew handles debris removal on every visit, so there is no separate haul-off to arrange. We also log the drainage and the water flow at each outlet, so the next crew arrives knowing where the water has been running, and each run ends up clean before the truck leaves.
Our gutter services are quoted from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing those, so ask us and we will give you the exact number for your house.
Our customers here usually book in late spring and again in late fall. If the fall visit is skipped in a freezing winter, the ice dams and sagging runs tend to show up by March. Wait too long and the cost of catching up goes up.
Most slots in the surrounding areas come up within the week. When you call we will confirm the date we can actually keep, and we do not promise a time we cannot meet.
No. Our crew works outside along the roofline, 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 water is leaving at the outlet, and we move on only once it runs clean. If a line drains underground and a clog is holding the water back, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job we quote before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under guards we commonly find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and packed underneath, so the surface still gets cleared and the gutters and downspouts get flushed.
If a clean gutter still sheets rainwater over the edge, the problem is usually slope, capacity or outlet 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. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
