Our own crew cleans gutters and their drain runs in Alvin, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, roof size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote. Across Texas, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, the two windows when seeds, pollen and leaves build up the most.
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 in the gutters. We give an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. A quick clean on a single story and a full roofline on a bigger house start from the same three things. Companies that sell gutter work by the linear foot land in a similar place, but the per-foot math hides what the crew actually finds on the roof.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the gutter line. Gutters that nobody has opened in years hold compacted buildup that takes longer to clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too.
Downspout flushing, flow testing, debris removal and haul-off are included in our gutter cleaning services and never billed as extras. The whole gutter system gets a look while we are up there, and if anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our Alvin jobs give a good picture of how this plays out. On one recent house, the crew found a sag in the back run and packed seed casings in two downspout elbows; the clog and the buildup were the main time costs, and the quote was set before we climbed the ladder. Once the buildup is out, the crew checks the water flow at the outlet, which carries the water away from your home. A rain gutter that is clean and still overflows points to slope, not a clog. Your own quote will come from your own house, and we will tell you which of these things it has.
The Alvin homes and buildings we clean span residential and commercial work, and the crew handles commercial properties in Alvin with the same standards. For residential properties, the gutter cleaning process is simple: the gutters come first, the drains get a flush, and the photos go to your phone. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the gutters clear and the drainage working. If you want to clean your gutters on a schedule rather than after the rain has already spilled over, the crew will set the interval after the first visit.
| 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 Alvin jobs most customers book twice a year: once after the spring seed and pollen drop, and once after the last leaves fall. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, when seeds and pollen have packed into the elbows. In December to early January we find a wet mat of leaves and the odd twig that holds water against the fascia. A rainwater backup that starts as a clog in the gutter becomes a blockage in the downspout, and the water finds the wall. A small leak at a seam is usually the first sign, and the fascia behind it starts to rot.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see work, because needles and grit pack the drains between visits. Landscape trimmings from mulch beds and shrubs clog the drains too. Heavy rainfall in June, August and September, the wettest months here, is when a clogged run shows first. Few or no trees around the house usually means once a year in late fall is enough. Near a busy road or active construction, the grit load goes up, and the schedule goes up with it.
Our Alvin customers who wait too long usually notice a sag or a pulled run by the next rain, and on those houses the clean-up takes longer. Keep your gutters clean between visits and you help protect your home from water damage, which is cheaper to avoid than to repair. The crew will tell you exactly where your house falls. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually 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.
The crew works across Alvin TX and surrounding areas from our nearest base, and we book a slot by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text once we have your stories, roof size and tree cover. A photo of the house front helps us plan the ladder placement, and it takes a minute. Lead times change with the season, and we will give you the date we can actually reach when you call. Alvin gutter cleaning slots fill up fast in the busy windows, so ask about the first open date.
The two busy windows of the year fill our calendar fast: late spring and late fall. If you want a particular week, book early. We call before we come, and a homeowner does not need to be home for the visit. Alvin homeowners who book before the busy window get the date they want. Between cleanings, a quick look from the ground will catch a sag or a run that has pulled loose. A clean gutter and a flushed downspout is the goal of every visit.
A gutter clean is one piece of our cleaning and maintenance work. If you get your gutters cleaned on the same visit as your windows, the crew sequences the work so the glass goes last. Our gutter maintenance schedule stays steady year to year, and our gutter services keep the crew busy in the right places.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details.
Most of our customers here book late spring and late fall. In spring we find seed casings and pollen; in fall we find the wet leaf mat and any early debris that sits in the trough through the winter.
Most clean slots come up within the week for cleaning services in Alvin. We confirm a date when you call, so you know exactly when the crew arrives.
No. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. We send 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 flow-test it as part of the visit. Clogged runs are worked from the top until water runs clear at the bottom. Cleaning a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
On our jobs, guards keep leaves out but let needles, seed casings and grit settle on top. The crew lifts the panels, clears underneath and flushes the drains. Guarded gutters still need a clean, just less often.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in the rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size, not a clog. Left alone, that water can rot the fascia and soffit and cause structural damage. Send us 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.
The quote is the price unless we find something that changes the job. If it does, you hear about it and agree before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
