Our own crew handles Arlington gutter cleaning: every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, and photos of every run once the gutters are left clean. The price comes from the number of stories, the approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have run this work across Texas for years, and most of our customers book in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or ask for a quote by text.
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 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. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is added up, but we would rather give you one figure for the whole house. Nothing in the quote is an estimate that grows later.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the driveway. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted debris, twig and leaf mat, and that is slower work than a light clean. A clog low in one run is usually the first thing a homeowner notices, and it takes longer to clear than a surface pass. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off of what comes out are included and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, not on the invoice.
Here is what that looks like for Arlington homeowners on the jobs we have cleaned. One house on a sloped lot had the gutters cleaned and every downspout flushed, and the crew found leaves and grit packed into the lower run. The customer had already seen a sag and a small leak where the rain gutter met the fascia, and the cleaning cleared the blockage so water flow returned to normal. Another job had poor drainage away from the foundation at one clogged downspout, a sign the system had been running slow for a while. Each of these is case-specific, and we tell you what we find before we start.
If your gutters are backing up, a cleaning is usually the first thing to try, but it is not always the whole answer. Standing water and buildup near the roofline can lead to rot and structural damage over time, and a clean gutter system is what keeps water moving away from your home. A clog that comes back within weeks points to a slope or downspout problem, not a dirty trough. Quotes for commercial properties follow the same measurements, and the number is given before any work starts. We will tell you what we see on the day and what we can do about it.
| 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 in Arlington TX book twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Across Texas, the spring visit usually falls in late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop. Our fall visit falls in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. That is the simplest schedule, and it covers most houses. A gutter that has gone since spring without a visit is packed with seed casings and pollen paste, and the downspouts hold it. When we open one in late fall, it is the wet leaf mat that has to come out before the rainy season hits.
Residential properties under heavy tree cover do better on a shorter rhythm: every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. A house near a busy road or a construction site runs on the same shorter schedule for the same reason. Houses with few or no trees need only one visit a year, in late fall, unless something else changes. Guards reduce how often the gutter needs attention, but the surface still needs clearing on a regular gutter cleaning service schedule. Heavy rainfall comes in May, June and October, and a blocked trough overflows first when it does, so it is worth the call to clean your gutters before those months.
The first clean tells us which tier your lot actually needs. Clogs, rainwater that runs over the front edge instead of out the downspout, and any sign of sag or blockage at the roofline are the things we look for. The same check goes on residential and commercial buildings, and debris removal from the trough is part of it. Before you book a repeat visit, we will give you a written estimate for the next clean so you know what to expect.
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 knows the neighborhoods where we have cleaned for years, and we cover the surrounding areas from the closest base. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill up first, so it helps to book early. Once you have the quote, the gutter cleaning process is simple: we arrive, clean the runs, flush every downspout and send the photos.
When you book with us, you get a clear schedule and a crew that arrives on time. We aim to protect your home from water damage by getting the system clean before heavy rainfall arrives. Gutter maintenance on our visits covers the cleanings and maintenance checks together, so one call handles both, and we keep the work to gutters and downspouts unless you ask for more. We also check where the water lands on the landscape below. If we find something outside the scope of a cleaning, we photograph it and report it to you instead of selling anything. That keeps the visit simple and lets you decide what happens next.
We want you to keep your gutters clean and working through every season, and we will help you plan the visits that make sense for your house. Ask us about the full set of gutter services we offer, and we will explain what each one covers and what it costs. Gutter guards are one option we will talk through, though they still need clearing.
Gutter cleaning services in Arlington are quoted from stories and size, and we give the number to you by phone or text before we book. The price we give is the price we charge.
Across Texas, the spring visit usually falls in late March to April, and our fall visit falls in late November to December. If you wait past the fall leaves, we find the wet leaf mat packed into the runs, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen sag by the next spring. Book the spring visit before the heavy rainfall in May and June arrives.
We confirm the first open date when you call, so you can get your gutters on the schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the earliest date we can come. Most slots come up within the week.
No. Our crew works outside, 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, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested as part of a gutter clean. Checking an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before we touch it.
Yes. On our jobs we find seeds, needles and grit sitting on top of the guards and packed underneath, so the surface still needs clearing to keep the gutter system working.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, it is usually a slope or downspout size problem rather than debris. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something we find changes the job, and in that case you hear about it and agree before the crew starts. Our quoting works the same across Arlington, and the number we quote 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.
