Our crew cleans gutters on local houses, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the leaves bagged and hauled off the property, 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 is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been doing this work for spring and fall visits on houses like yours, and we can tell you in one call what your lot needs.
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, its 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 the homeowner. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot of run, but the stories and the access are what drive the time on the ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when the ladder goes up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs more setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped landscape raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run is further off the ground than it looks from the driveway. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed solid with leaf matter, and a clog that deep takes more hours than a gutter emptied every spring. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on every run.
Gutter cleaning services on our jobs always include downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off, and none of it is billed as an extra. If anything we find changes the job, we raise it before work starts, not on the invoice. Some Carrollton homes in older neighborhoods have clogged downspouts that run into the same underground line, so we check the drainage at the outlet and tell you where the water goes.
On our jobs, the gutters that cost the most time are the ones where the leaves and debris have been left to build up for a couple of seasons. The buildup is heavier, the blockage is deeper, and the water flow at the bottom is slower than it should be. Left that long, a rain gutter can sag and start pulling away from the fascia, which is where rot and structural damage start. A gutter cleaned on schedule rarely needs that kind of work. Every quote starts with a photo of the front of the house, sent by text, and a call to walk through the three things that matter. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number on the phone.
| 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 |

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 book twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop finishes, and once from late November to December, after the last leaves have come down. In spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the trough and holds water against the fascia through the rainy months. Carrollton gets heavy rainfall in May, June and October, so a gutter with a clog at the start of those months is the one that overflows first.
Under heavy tree cover, we see gutters that need a clean every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the downspout between visits and the rainwater has nowhere to go. A gutter with few or no trees overhead is fine on a once-a-year schedule in late fall. Gutter guards need less frequent work, but the surface still gets cleared, and regular gutter cleaning is what stops the mat on top of a guard from turning into the blockage.
Both the seed-clogged downspout we find in May and the roofline holding water in November start with a gutter that was not cleaned on schedule, and that is where a leak usually starts.
After the first visit we tell you how often you need to clean your gutters, and for most houses that means twice a year as part of normal gutter maintenance. If you have dense tree cover or steady traffic near the house, the schedule moves closer to every three to four months, and we tell you that after the visit. Book a visit with a call to (866) 435-6328 and we will set the first date.
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.
We clean gutters across Carrollton TX from our crews, and we know the houses on the older streets where the trees are big and the gutters have been left alone for years. If you have residential and commercial properties, call first and we will say on the phone whether a building fits our crew. Booking a gutter cleaning service with us starts with a phone quote from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front by text if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the season, and the peak windows are spring and fall, when most of the homes in the area are on the same schedule. We call before we come and nobody needs to be home.
If you want to get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will tell you the next open slot. Our crew covers the surrounding areas from the nearest base, so the drive time is short from wherever you are, whether it is a single house or a street of residential properties. Carrollton gutter cleaning is the work we do most, and the gutters and downspouts are done in the same visit with debris removal included, and we flush every downspout so the water has a clear path when the next storm arrives.
The simplest way to keep your gutters clean is to book on a schedule, because a clear gutter carries water away from your home and keeps water off the foundation, the fascia and the eaves. We are glad to walk through any of the gutter services we offer, and we will say plainly what we do not do if it comes up. Ask for a written estimate with your date and we will send it before the crew is on the ladder.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text from those two things, so the price is set before anyone climbs. A two-story house with an average footprint is quoted on the call, and the number is the invoice. Downspout flushing and haul-off are included.
Across Texas, the spring window runs late March to April, and the fall window is late November to December. In spring the seed and pollen are in the downspout, and in fall the leaf load and the first cold snap are what we find. Waiting past those windows is when the blockage gets heavy.
Same-day depends on the calendar that week, because our cleaning services in Carrollton fill up in the spring and fall windows. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what is open.
Most homeowners ask this first, and the answer is 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 we check the outlet to see where the water is going. If a line is buried and the water is not coming out, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards are part of your gutter system and keep the big leaves out, but on our jobs we find twigs, seed casings and grit sitting on top of the guard and under it. Guards still need cleaning and maintenance, just less often, and once that mat is wet the rain runs over the front edge and the gutter never fills.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope, capacity or downspout size problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or 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.
It should not, because the gutter cleaning process starts with the quote, which covers the stories, size and tree cover. If we find something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before the crew 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.
