Our own crew cleans gutters in Farmers Branch, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. On our jobs here, most customers book in spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf load are at their heaviest.
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 how much leaves and debris 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. Other companies price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the house is measured. Our gutter services are quoted the same way for Farmers Branch homes and commercial properties, from those same three inputs.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the roof. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement puts the back run high above the patio. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out with a packed-in leaf mass in every elbow, and a clog that deep takes more time to clear than a light buildup. A rain gutter that has sat full for years is quoted as a deeper job, because left alone that clog can cause structural damage. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, though a clean run under a guard is quicker than an open gutter packed with leaves. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
On our jobs here, a common pattern is a house with a heavy canopy over the back run, where the crew finds a leaf and grit mat that has already started to clog, and clogged downspouts are often the first sign. The quote covers the full run, every downspout and the haul-off, because a clear gutter that cannot carry water away is only half the job. The photos show the before and after, and whether water flow and drainage at the bottom of each run are clear. If you are unsure which of these applies to your house, send a photo of the front and the back of the roofline by text and we will tell you what we expect to find.
| 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 twice a year, in spring and fall. Across Texas the spring visit falls in late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop has finished, and the fall visit in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in late spring here we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose by the time winter weather arrives. Farmers Branch TX gets 39.8 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, so a clog left behind is the first thing heavy rainfall tests. The schedule is the same for residential and commercial roofs, because the buildup is the same.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm our crews see most often, because needles, the odd twig and grit pack the downspout elbows between visits, and a blockage that starts small holds rainwater and becomes a standing overflow. With few or no trees, a clean gutter once a year in late fall is usually enough. Near a busy road or active construction, the grit load can push a lot toward the shorter interval. Winters here carry freeze risk, and water trapped in a clog can turn into ice at the eave, so the regular gutter maintenance visits matter most before the cold arrives. Our gutter maintenance schedule is set on the first visit.
Guards cut the work down, but they do not end it. Even with guards on the gutter, the surface still needs clearing and each downspout still needs checking. After the first visit we tell you which of those schedules your lot actually needs, and you can call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to set the first date. Booking an early visit means the first date is set before the rain picks up, and from there you can clean your gutters on a set schedule.
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.
The crew has cleaned gutters in the surrounding areas, and each roof gets the same process. Booking Farmers Branch gutter cleaning starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. To get your gutters on the calendar, start there. Lead time depends on the week, and we confirm a date when you call before we come. The two busiest windows on our calendar are late spring and late fall, so it is worth booking early if you want a particular week. Our gutter services are booked for residential properties and for any homeowner here who wants a quote.
We call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos of every run come to your phone whether or not you were there. We flush every downspout on each visit, and a clean run still gets checked for drainage at the bottom. If a leak shows up at a joint, you hear about it in the photo report. Clear gutters and downspouts carry water away from your home, which is how you protect your home from water damage at the eave and the foundation. If you already have a gutter service you like, you can keep your gutters on that schedule and book us for the off-season cleanings.
Our cleaning services in Farmers Branch are priced from stories and size, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not quote a range on the page because a two-story house with a steep back run and a house with a flat front run can land far apart. Homeowners here give us the stories, the square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and we give back an estimate that matches the price we charge.
Our customers across Farmers Branch book in late spring and late fall. In late spring we leave a clean run after clearing seed and pollen paste out of the downspout elbows, and in fall we clear the wet leaf mat before the cold weather sets in. Freeze risk is real here, so waiting past the fall visit is where we see runs that sag by late winter.
Same-day depends on the week and the crew schedule. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. If you need a quick visit, call (866) 435-6328 and ask what is open.
No. We call before we arrive, the crew works outside, and the photos of every run and downspout come 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 with water and watched until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards are part of the gutter system here, and they keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top of the guard and can run off the front edge. Guards change the cleaning and maintenance schedule, not whether you need one. We clear the surface, flush every downspout and reseat the guards, and the job is usually shorter than an open gutter.
A clean gutter here that still sheets water over the edge in rain usually has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a cleaning problem. Water that keeps spilling over the front edge can also soak the landscape along the foundation and leave the wood behind the gutter to rot. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The gutter cleaning process here is a quote, a call before we arrive, the clean itself, and photos to finish. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
