Our own crew cleans gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything 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 hangs over the property, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Amarillo customers book in spring and fall, and we have done this work on enough of those houses to know what a clogged run looks like before we get on the ladder.
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, how many square feet it covers and what is actually sitting in the gutters. Our gutter cleaning services are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Amarillo homes and commercial properties are priced the same way. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that gets to a similar place per foot, but we find it easier to talk about the house itself.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story, or a pitch too steep to walk on, means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run, so it sits higher than it looks from the yard. Any rain gutter nobody has opened in years is packed with compacted buildup that takes longer to clean out. And guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing clogged downspouts, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Gutters that sag and overflow for years can cause structural damage to the fascia and the boards behind it. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Tree cover moves the number too. Under heavy trees the crew can find leaves and debris packed into the back run, and a clog in a downspout that is still holding water after the first flush adds time, so the job runs longer than the front of the house suggests. That is why we look at the trees and the stories before we quote. Drainage and water flow away from the foundation is the point of the job, and keeping water away from your home is what the price pays for, so we would rather tell you the real number up front than guess and be wrong.
| 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 Amarillo TX customers book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Spring is when we open a gutter and find the downspout elbows packed with seeds and pollen paste, which is the first thing that starts a clog. Fall is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the time winter comes around. Precipitation runs about 19.7 inches a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so the runs need to be clear before any heavy rainfall arrives.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the house and across the landscape, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles, the odd twig and grit pack the downspouts between visits. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most houses. The same rule holds for residential and commercial buildings. Guards cut down how often you need us, but the surface still needs clearing, so cleaning and maintenance on guarded gutters stays on a lighter schedule.
After the first visit we tell you which of those tiers your lot actually needs, based on what we found in your gutters rather than a general rule. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you an estimate and help you get your gutters on the calendar. Schedule a regular gutter cleaning service before the first heavy rainfall of the season, so the first storm does not find a blockage. Clean your gutters on that schedule and the rainwater runs where it should.
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 Amarillo and the surrounding areas, and we cover every neighborhood from the nearest base. Every homeowner gets the same quote as the owners of commercial properties, because our crew handles residential properties and residential and commercial work the same way. A homeowner can start with a quote by phone or text based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Tell us about any gutter guards when you call, because they change how the crew works. Lead time for cleanings depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first date we can actually hold when you call. The two busy windows are spring and fall, when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months gives you the most choice.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside. If you are interested in gutter services beyond cleaning, we only quote the cleaning here; our gutter maintenance covers gutters and downspouts, and anything else we find, like a leak at the roofline, is photographed and reported rather than sold, so you can decide what to do about it. Keep your gutters clean, and we will help you protect your home from water damage, with water moving away from your home at the points where it matters most. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to book a date.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure here because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters.
Most of our customers book a spring visit, which across Texas runs late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop, and a fall visit in late October to November, after the leaves come down. If the fall visit gets skipped, we often find runs that have sagged or pulled loose by March, and the wet boards behind them can rot. The winter snow that falls in January, February and March makes that worse.
Same-day Amarillo gutter cleaning depends on the calendar that week. Our cleaning services in Amarillo run off one crew calendar, so most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. The gutter cleaning process stays outside: our crew 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 the outlet. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we tell you if water is not leaving, but clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need a visit. Needles, seeds and grit settle on top of the guard and under it, and once that mat is wet, water runs off the front edge instead of into the trough. A guard keeps most leaves out of the gutter system, but we still clean the surface and check that water is getting in.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in the rain, that is usually a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video taken during heavy rainfall 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 on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
