Our own crew cleans gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover sits over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book in spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaves are through.
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. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, but the stories and the state of the gutters matter more than the footage on most homes we see. Bastrop homeowners get the same quote whether they call or text a photo, because a gutter cleaning service is priced to the house, not to a flat rate. A clean run takes less time than one with a twig jammed in an elbow or a packed mat of leaves, and the quote reflects that time.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and gets quoted higher. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than it looks from the yard. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes down packed with compacted buildup and a clog that has been building for seasons, and that takes more hours than a yearly clean. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well.
Every quote covers gutters and downspouts as one job. We flush every downspout on every job, and flow testing confirms water flow and drainage at the outlet. Debris removal is included too. The crew hauls the debris away from your home, and the yard is left clean after the haul-off. Nothing gets billed as an extra. If we find anything that changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a typical job, the crew has seen the cost of a gutter cleaning rise when a home has been skipped for several seasons and the gutter cleaning process runs longer than a routine visit. We would rather show you the difference on the phone than surprise you on the ladder. Ask for the estimate and tell us what is on the house before you get your gutters on the schedule. Once the gutters are clean, the next visit is usually quicker. Our crew will give you a number you can plan around, and it is the same number we bill.
Gutter maintenance is cheaper over time than a repair, and every homeowner we talk to is working out how often to do it. Regular cleanings on a steady schedule keep the bill predictable, and cleaning and maintenance done early is the cheaper path. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what to expect.

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 here book twice a year, once in the spring after seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and in Bastrop the fall visit usually lands in late November to December. On our jobs the spring visit clears seeds, seed casings and pollen paste from the downspout elbows, and the fall visit clears leaves and debris, plus grit, before they pack the runs. Leave the gutters clean after the spring visit, and the fall visit goes faster. On houses that skip the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by March, and clogged downspouts that back water up against the fascia.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see working, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits and a blockage can form in weeks. Bastrop gets 36.4 inches of rain a year, and May, September and October are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall arrives when the runs are fullest and rainwater has nowhere to go. Near a busy road or active construction, the same tighter schedule applies. Homes with few or no trees do fine once a year in late fall, when you clean your gutters top to bottom.
Guards cut the frequency, but they do not remove it. Even with guards on, you want the surface kept clean. A gutter system with guards still needs regular gutter cleaning, and a small leak at a seam can turn into rot behind the trough within a season, which leads to structural damage. To keep your gutters draining and protect your home, plan on a visit every year or two.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and how the landscape drains toward the foundation. After every heavy storm, flush the outlets, check the runs and the water flow, and set each downspout to channel water away from the foundation, which keeps the 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.
Our crew covers Bastrop TX and surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we work across Bastrop on the same schedule for every job. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your size and your tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Each run is left clean before the crew leaves, so you are not picking up after us.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, and again after a stretch of heavy rainfall. Book early if you want a particular date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. We leave the yard clean and send the photos to your phone.
Residential and commercial jobs both run on the same booking process, and we handle residential properties and commercial properties in Bastrop with the same care and the same photos at the end. We offer cleaning services in Bastrop for Bastrop homes and for businesses, and our gutter cleaning services follow that same booking. You can ask about any of our gutter services when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and Bastrop homeowners get it by phone or text before anyone climbs a ladder.
Most of our customers here book in spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the first hard freeze in the fall, the leaves and debris have already packed the runs.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, leaves the yard clean, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes, we flush every downspout and flow-test it as part of the job, so drainage is checked at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Under guards we still find needles, seeds and grit packed on top of the mesh, and once that layer is wet, the blockage keeps water out and it runs over the front edge.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout problem, not a debris problem, and fixing it is how you protect your home from water damage. Send us a photo or video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
