Our crew cleans gutters in Del Rio, every run flushed and flow-tested, the mess bagged and hauled away, and photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your 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. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaves are done, and we have been on those roofs enough times to know what the gutters look like by then.
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 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. Whether it is the first time you ask us to clean your gutters or the tenth, the same three things set the number. Companies that price by length land in a similar place per linear foot, but the stories and the state of the gutters do most of the work on Del Rio homes this size.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a pitch too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up from the ground, so the setup changes. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves, grit and muck, and the gutter clog is usually heavier than the homeowner expected. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job the quote came up because the back run had a sag and a buildup of wet leaves in the first ten feet, enough to back water over the edge in a heavy rain. We cleared it, flushed the drainage path to the end of the run, and checked water flow at each outlet until it ran clean before we left, which is the step that tells us the gutter is actually doing its job. The customer heard the number on the phone and it did not move when we were on the ladder.
Homeowners and property managers both call us for the same reasons: a clog they can see from the driveway, or a run that has started to sag, or a property that needs regular gutter cleaning on a schedule. We offer gutter cleaning services for residential and commercial buildings, and the work is the same care either way. Residential properties are quoted by stories and size; commercial properties are quoted per building. Either way, you hear the number before we start.
| 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 book two cleanings a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Across Texas the spring visit usually falls late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop. In the spring the clogged downspouts are packed with seeds, pollen paste and the odd twig, and that becomes a rainwater blockage by the first heavy storm. The fall visit falls December to early January, after the leaves are down. Leaves go wet and matted in the gutters by then, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find a run that has sagged or pulled loose by the time the weather turns. Del Rio gets 19.8 inches of rain a year, and May, August and September are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall tests the gutters hardest then.
Under heavy tree cover in Del Rio TX we see gutters go back to a clog every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Near a busy road or a construction site the same schedule applies. A house with few or no trees overhead is usually fine with one clean a year in late fall. Guards help with leaves but still need a clean on the surface, so they move the schedule out a little, not off it entirely. A sagging run can start a leak at the joint, and with freeze risk in winter, trapped water can turn to ice at the eave.
Our crews keep an eye on the roofline when they are up there, flush every downspout on the way, and the first visit tells us what the gutter system needs. The estimate covers the lot, the trees and the way water runs off the house, so the schedule we give you is for your house specifically. Keep your gutters clear. Regular gutter maintenance is the cheapest way to protect your home from water damage, and the crew can walk you through the gutter services that fit your house, including the gutters and downspouts themselves, and when to clean your gutters next.
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 works across Del Rio and the homes close by, clearing gutters on the houses we already know from our own jobs. Our cleaning services in Del Rio cover cleaning and maintenance on the gutter system, booked the same way for every house. Booking is simple for any homeowner. It starts with a quote by phone or text, from your stories, the approximate size of the house and whether trees hang over it, plus a photo of the front of the house if that is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall stretches described above, and our calendar fills in those weeks. If you want a slot in those windows, it helps to ask early. Outside them there is usually room, and we will tell you the lead time when you call. If the house has gutter guards, tell us when you book, because lifting and reseating them is part of the job. Our crew works from the nearest base, so the trip is not a long one. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the gutters, and we will book a date.
When the crew is on site we clean the gutters first, then the outlets, then the drainage path, and each step is photographed. That is the gutter cleaning process from start to finish, and it is the same Del Rio gutter cleaning work whether the house is on a quiet street or near a busy one. If your gutters are not in the state you expected, we will show you the photos and tell you what it takes to get your gutters back in shape.
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 quote a figure without those, because a two-story house with a steep back run prices differently from one with a flat roof. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers here book in late March to April and again in December to early January. If the fall visit is skipped, the leaves and debris left in the gutters often show sag or ice-related damage by early spring on the houses we see. The window is the same whether you are on a heavy-tree lot or not, the schedule just changes.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call (866) 435-6328. If a same-day opening exists we will tell you on the phone.
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. We flush each outlet, flow-test it, and check that it runs clean, so you can see the water away from your home and clear of the landscape. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it. Flushing and the outlet check are included in the quote.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit settle on top and wet mat can run over the edge. Under guards we find the same clog the open gutters have, just less of it, so the surface still needs a clean.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video of the rain gutter spilling and we will tell you what it actually is. Left running over the edge, that spill is how fascia boards start to rot and pick up structural damage, so send the photo early. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, not on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
