Our own crew cleans gutters in Baytown TX, flushes every drain and flow-tests it, hauls the debris away, and sends 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 is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. Across Texas, most of our customers book in spring and fall.
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 big it is and how clean or clogged the gutters are. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other companies price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per foot of run, but we would rather you know the whole number before we climb.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep pitch too tall to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted buildup, and that takes time to clear by hand. Guards we have to lift, clean under and reseat add their own minutes. Sagging runs can point to structural damage, and we flag that before any work starts. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised first, never on the invoice.
We have cleaned gutters on a lot of Baytown homes, and the quotes that surprised people were almost always about a clog they could not see from the driveway. A clog low in the drainage path can hold back a full run of water. Clogged downspouts cut water flow, and a sag in a rain gutter means water sits in one place until it overflows. Those jobs take longer than the front of the house suggests. When we open a run and find leaves and debris packed to the elbow, we flush it from the top and the bottom, check that water is leaving the outlet, and leave the run clean. We photograph it before and after.
Our jobs are spread across the whole service area, and the cases we keep show what moved the quote. Where we have a job on file for your part of town, we can tell you what we found and why the number came out where it did. The quote you get from us will reflect what is on your house, whether it is a home or one of the commercial properties we clean, not a formula.
Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the rough size. Most quotes come back the same day, by phone or text, and we will tell you what we need to see from the ground before we are on the ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through.

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.
Across Texas, most of our customers book gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and fall: a spring visit from late March to April and a fall visit. On our Baytown TX jobs the spring visit catches the seeds, seed casings and pollen paste that build up in the outlets after the trees drop, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the rain settles them into a wet mat. The fall visit lands December to early January. When we open a gutter in the spring, the elbows are often packed solid, and that is where a clog starts. Book our gutter cleaning service on that schedule and we will clean your gutters with debris removal in the same visit.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, needles, a twig or two and grit pack the drains between visits, and those customers are on a schedule of every three to four months. Residential properties near a busy road or a construction site get the same schedule for the same reason, grit. With few or no trees, once a year in December or early January is usually enough, and it keeps the roofline clean before the wettest months arrive in June.
Guards cut down on how often leaves reach the trough, but they do not stop the surface from collecting needles and grit, so a guarded gutter system still gets a visit on the same tiers. Each visit we clean the top of the guard as well as the run underneath, because a wet mat on top of a guard sheds water over the front edge and into the wall.
When the schedule is right, a rainwater event or a run of heavy rainfall does not turn into a leak. A rain gutter that is clean and clear carries water away from the foundation, and a blockage caught early on regular gutter cleaning is a short job instead of a repair. Baytown gets about 57.3 inches of rain a year, and June, August and October are the wettest months, so a schedule that clears the runs before June pays off. Cleaning and maintenance on that schedule keeps the runs moving. After the first visit we give you an estimate for the schedule your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the trough and at the outlets, not on a general rule.
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 Baytown gutter cleaning crew works from one base and keeps a regular route through the neighborhoods we visit most. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is near the house. A photo of the front of the house helps us quote it accurately, and it takes a minute to send. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows are the spring visit and the fall visit, when the calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months and you get the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. Whether you are a homeowner who wants the gutters clean or an owner of residential and commercial properties, we will set a date that fits and confirm it in writing. Every homeowner gets that written confirmation too.
We flush every downspout on the route, and once the job is done you get photos of the gutters and downspouts on your phone. If you want to keep your gutters clean between visits, we can set up the next date before we leave. Our cleanings follow a regular schedule, so the same crew knows your house and what to look for when it comes back. We also clean the surrounding areas on the same route when the schedule allows.
Our goal is to protect your home from water damage by keeping the water moving away from your home. A clean gutter and a flushed drain do that job, and that is what the visit is for.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and how much buildup is in the gutters. We give you that number by phone or text, and it is the number on the invoice. Our cleaning services in Baytown include flushing and haul-off already.
Across Texas, most of our customers book a spring visit from late March to April. The fall visit lands December to early January, and if it is skipped we often find the wet leaf mat has packed the runs by the time the rain season arrives. Regular gutter maintenance on that schedule keeps the runs clear.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you want to get your gutters on the calendar this season, ask us for the earliest opening across Baytown.
No. Our crew works outside, keeps every ladder away from your home, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every drain pipe is flushed and flow-tested, and we check that water is leaving the outlet. A buried drain line that needs clearing is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out of the trough, but on our jobs the landscape around the house still leaves needles, seed casings and grit on top of the guard, and a wet mat there sheds water over the edge. We clean the surface and the run underneath.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge during heavy rainfall, the problem is usually slope or outlet capacity, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning. Water that keeps running behind the gutter can rot the fascia and lead to structural damage, so do not wait on it.
It should not. The gutter cleaning process is the same on every job, and if the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
