Our own crew cleans gutters on every side of the house, flushes and flow-tests each drain line, hauls the debris away, and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover hangs over the house, 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.
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 offer gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the stories and the pitch matter more than the footage alone. Commercial properties follow the same questions about stories and height. Nothing here is a rate card; it is what we have seen move the price on our own jobs.
A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes how we work, so the crew brings a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back of the house, which means more time up high. A rain gutter nobody has opened in years comes out packed solid with a sag and a buildup of grit that takes longer to clear than a light spring load. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Flushing, flow testing and haul-away are included and never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our experience with clute homes shows that the first visit tells us the most. On a job like that, the rear run was sagging, the leaves and debris were packed into the elbows of the clogged downspouts, and the water flow at the bottom was barely a trickle; the crew cleared it, flushed it and photographed the result, and the price was set by the stories and the height of that back run. Most of the time the price moves because a gutter has gone a long time without a clean, so a clog sits in the elbow and the drainage slows to a crawl. Booking regular cleanings before the rainwater backs up keeps each visit short, because a crew that arrives early moves less material and spends less time up on the lift.
We run gutter services, so when we see a problem beyond a clean gutter, we say so in the report. Where a drain outlet sits too close to the foundation, or a run is pulling away from the fascia, we photograph it and note it, but we do not sell the repair. A run pulling away can mean structural damage, and a leak at a seam is often the first sign. Ask for a written estimate from the photos and the stories, and you will see the same figure on the invoice.
| 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 Clute TX customers book twice a year, in spring and fall, which is the simplest rhythm for regular gutter cleaning to keep. On our jobs the spring visit comes after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves have fallen. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds and seed casings packed into the elbows, pollen gone to paste, and water that sits in the trough before it drains. When we open one in late November we find the wet leaf mat that rainwater has been soaking since summer, and on houses that skipped the fall visit the runs sag or pull loose, and water left to sit can rot the fascia before spring arrives. The spring and fall rhythm fits residential properties and residential and commercial buildings alike.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the drain outlets between visits, and a clog can start after heavy rainfall, even the week after a cleaning. Debris removal is part of every visit, so the bags leave with the truck. Near a busy road or a construction site the grit comes faster, so the schedule tightens the same way. A house with few or no trees usually does well once a year in late fall. Guards cut the work further, but the surface still needs to be clean, so the interval gets shorter rather than disappearing.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what the gutter held and how fast it filled. That is a better guide than a calendar. Regular gutter cleaning keeps water away from your home and out of the blockage before it becomes a problem, and it costs far less than the damage a neglected gutter can cause. Once you clean your gutters on a set schedule and have a date on the calendar, the next visit is easy to plan.
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 provides cleaning services in Clute, covering gutters and downspouts across the surrounding areas, and the result is the same clean run whether the house is on a quiet lot or a busy corner. A homeowner starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your home's size and whether trees hang over the house. A photo of the front of the house helps us see the stories and the pitch, and it takes a minute to send. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Our schedule fills hardest in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early keeps your date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. If you want to keep your gutters clear before the rainy season, text us a photo of the roofline and we will hold a slot while we confirm the details. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the schedule. Clute gutter cleaning is simple to schedule because the work is outside and the crew does not come inside your home. Our goal is cleaning and maintenance that helps protect your home from water damage and leaves the landscape the way we found it.
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 give a figure without those details, because a steep pitch or a sloped lot changes the job.
Across Texas, most of our customers book for late March to April and again for late November to December, and a gutter kept clean on that schedule stays easier to flush. Steady gutter maintenance keeps each visit short, while a gutter left longer has a heavier seed load and leaf mat when we open it, and the drain pipes take more time to flush.
We confirm the first open date when you call (866) 435-6328 so you can get your gutters on the calendar, and we do not promise same-day service.
No, a homeowner does not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process happens outside, the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and outlet reach 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 the water leaves at the outlet and the pipe runs clean. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes, gutter guards still collect a twig, grit and seed casings on top, and the water can run over the front edge once that mat is wet. We clear the surface, lift the panels and leave the gutter system clean and flowing, even though the job is shorter.
A gutter that is clean and still spills in the rain has a slope or drain-size problem rather than a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain, and we will tell you what it is without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, we tell you and agree on it before work starts, so the number on the invoice matches the quote.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
