Our own crew cleans gutters in Aldine, flushing every downspout, hauling the debris and taking 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 homeowners book in the spring and fall. You get a clean job with no surprise add-ons, and every homeowner can call (866) 435-6328 to set a time.
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. We give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid and take longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, a check of the water flow at each outlet and debris removal are all included in the gutter cleaning services price, and none of them is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is a recent pattern from our calls. Aldine homes with the heaviest clog problems tend to be the ones where regular gutter cleaning was skipped for a season or two, and the buildup had started to pull the runs out of line, creating a sag that holds water. When we arrive, the first job is the clog, then the drainage check, then a look at whether the run is still just low or has started to affect the fascia behind it. Clearing the buildup is what keeps a low run from getting worse, and it is much cheaper to clean your gutters on schedule than to repair the structural damage the buildup leaves behind. We clean residential properties here, and we handle residential and commercial jobs too, so if your house is part of a larger lot we will price it the same way.
| 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.
On our jobs, most customers book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in December to early January after the last leaves come down. Across Texas, the spring visit lands in late March to April, and that is when we find seeds and pollen packed into the downspout elbows. When we open a gutter for the fall visit we find a wet leaf mat that has rotted in place. Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm our crews follow, because the heavy rainfall between visits carries needles and grit into the roofline and forms a blockage. Houses with few or no trees can usually go once a year in early January.
Aldine gets 51.8 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, so rainwater piles into the gutters fastest then. Freeze risk is real here too, so water left sitting in a clog can freeze at the eave. Across Texas, storm season brings Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms, and a clogged run is one of the first things to give way when the rain comes in hard. Either way, keep your gutters and downspouts on a schedule and flush every downspout each visit so water moves freely away from your home. Clean gutters help protect your home from water damage. Our gutter services follow this schedule for homes in Aldine TX and the surrounding areas. After the first visit we give you an estimate for which tier your lot needs.
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 Aldine and cleans from the nearest base, which keeps the drive short and the calendar tight. If you have gutter guards, mention them on the call so the crew plans for lifting them. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with your stories and approximate square footage, and send a photo of the front of the house if that is easy. We will give you a quote from that, and the number holds. Lead time is confirmed when you call. The calendar fills in two busy windows, late March to April and December to early January, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want. Our cleaning services start with that call, and the quote covers the full Aldine gutter cleaning job. Our gutter cleaning process is the same on every visit, so get your gutters booked early when the calendar is tight. Repeat cleanings on the same house are priced from the same three things. The aim of every visit is a clean gutter that moves water away from your home, not just an empty one. Our gutter services also cover cleaning and maintenance between visits, so the water keeps moving. Every homeowner gets a call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work.
If a gutter is still overflowing or showing a leak after a cleaning, that is a slope or capacity problem rather than a debris problem, and we say so. A single twig wedged in a downspout can back water up during heavy rainfall, so the crew checks every outlet on each visit. For gutter maintenance on a home that has a history of overflow, a short note to us about how the water behaves in the rain helps us plan the visit.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those three things, because a two-story house with heavy tree cover or a sloped landscape can take much longer than one without. Commercial properties are priced from the same three things.
Most of our customers here book a spring visit and a fall visit, and across Texas the spring visit lands in late March to April. In the spring we find seeds and pollen in the drain outlets, and by the December to early January visit we usually find a wet mat of leaves and debris. Left too long, that mat can rot the fascia board behind the gutter. Waiting past the fall visit is how we end up with sags by the time the cold weather arrives.
Most slots come up within the week across Aldine, and we confirm the exact date when you call. If your schedule is tight, tell us when you call and we will check what the calendar allows.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every rain gutter and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you get a clean record of the visit. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check that it carries water away at the outlet. If a downspout drains into an underground line that is not clearing, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that we price before we start.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out of the gutter system, but on our jobs we find needles, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and running off the front edge when it rains. We clear the surface, flush the clogged downspouts and reseat the guards, so the gutters are clean when we leave.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A gutter that is clean and still overflowing usually has a slope or capacity problem, and we will tell you what it actually is rather than sell you a second cleaning. If water has already reached the fascia, that is structural damage, and it is a different job.
Only if they find something that changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts. The number we quoted on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
