Our own crew cleans gutters in Alice, TX, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the square footage and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most Alice homeowners book in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Keep your gutters clean between visits and the job stays quick.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A homeowner can get your gutters priced on the call from those answers alone, with no crew on site first. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the total is what you pay.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that puts the back run well above the ground, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted leaves and debris, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear underneath. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned as one job: flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. A clog in one downspout is often why a run spills over or starts a leak at a seam, so the gutter cleaning process checks every outlet, not just the one nearest the driveway. Once the run is clean, water flow is steady and the downspout carries water away from your home. If something changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a heavy-tree-canopy lot, the back run is usually what moves the quote. Expect the crew to work the leaf mat out of any clogged downspouts, flush the line until the water runs clean at the bottom, and haul the material off the lot. Every run gets photographed before we leave, so you can see the result on your phone. That is the kind of detail that sets the number, and it is why we quote from what we see on the phone rather than a rate card.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a firm number from your stories, size and tree cover. If you are comparing cleaning services in Alice, ask every one of them for the same thing: a number that matches the invoice. Ask for a written estimate if you want one before you book a date. We will tell you the same thing on the phone that shows up on the invoice.

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 Alice homeowners book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Texas, the spring visit falls late March to April and the fall visit late November to December. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed in the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and that is what starts the trouble if the gutter sits full through the rainy months. Heavy rainfall in Texas tends to push rainwater hard against a gutter with buildup in it, and the runs that sag or pull loose are almost always the ones that skipped the last visit. That sag is where structural damage starts.
Under heavy tree cover in the landscape, needles, the odd twig and grit pack the downspout elbows between visits, so those houses need a visit more often than the rest. A house with few or no trees usually needs only a late fall cleaning each year. A guarded gutter system means fewer visits, but the surface still needs a clean, because leaves sit on top of the guard and the water never gets in. Gutter maintenance on any house is a seasonal job, so keep the schedule even with guards.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs, whether that is two cleanings a year or more under heavy tree cover. If you want regular gutter cleaning on that schedule, say so when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up a spring or fall date, or text a photo of your roofline and we will tell you where you fall on that schedule. Either way, a clean gutter at the start of each season makes the next visit faster and helps protect your home from water damage.
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 offer gutter cleaning services across Alice TX from our own crew, and whether surrounding areas are on the route is something we confirm when you call. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover you have, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm a date when you call. This page is about residential properties, so if a job mixes residential and commercial properties, ask on the call whether it fits. The two busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, so if you want a slot in either, book early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works from the outside of the house, checks drainage at every outlet, and sends photos of every run to your phone before we leave. Our gutter cleaning service runs from the call to the photos, and you get a clean record of the job. Want us to clean your gutters on a set schedule? We can keep the same date each season, so you are not chasing a booking every time the gutters fill. Booking the same date each year keeps your gutters on schedule, and a regular visit is how you protect your home from water damage before it starts. Alice homes vary, so the quote follows the house, not a flat rate. The gutter services on this page are priced from the call.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the roof and what is in the gutters. A clean number on the phone is the number on the invoice, for the cleaning and maintenance we quoted. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we will give you a firm figure.
Our customers here usually book in late spring and late fall. Wait too long and the buildup of leaf mat or seed paste becomes a clog that holds water against the fascia, and that is when we see rot, sagging runs and structural damage. Across Texas, storm season brings Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms, so a clean gutter before then helps protect your home from water damage.
Lead time depends on the week, so we confirm the date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes. We flush every downspout on the gutters we clean, and watch the water run out the bottom until it runs clean. Where a line drains underground, we check drainage at the outlet and tell you if the water is not leaving. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. A guarded gutter system still needs visits, because leaves sit on top of the guards and needles, the odd twig and grit work through, so we clear the surface, check that water is still getting in, and leave a clean run.
If a rain gutter is clean and still spills over in the rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or the downspout size, not a blockage. 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.
The number on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
