Our own crew cleans gutters here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how many trees overhang the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book for spring and fall, and we work the same way on every house.
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 size and what is sitting in the gutters. We price it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Companies that price per linear foot land in a similar place once the run count is added up, but we would rather you know the whole number before we climb.
On our jobs, a few things push the price up. A third story or a steep pitch too hard to walk means a boom or scissor lift, and that changes the setup. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed solid, which takes longer to clear than a normal fall load. Guards we have to lift, clean underneath and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, water flow testing and haul-off of what comes out are already in the number, never billed as extras, and anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
We have cleaned gutters on many of the older homes around here, the kind with long, low runs that catch everything from the big trees along the lot line. On one of those jobs, the gutter sag and buildup were the main reason the price came in where it did, and we showed the owner every run, clean and open, before we billed. Most of the work we do for four corners homes is that kind of inspection-first cleaning, which is what keeps water moving away from the foundation. If you are comparing gutter cleaning services in Four Corners, ask each company what is included, how they flush each downspout and whether they will show you the runs. Some residential and commercial crews leave the flushing out of the number, and that is where the surprise shows up.
Our crew handles residential properties and commercial properties with the same care, but the scope is different, so we quote each one on its own. Heavy tree cover means regular gutter cleaning for most homeowners here, and the clog risk is real between visits. A property with few trees may only need debris removal once a year, in December or early January, which is still the right time to clean your gutters. Either way, the spring and fall schedule is a good place to start, and we set it up after the first visit.
| 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 Four Corners TX customers book twice a year. Across Texas the spring visit falls in late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs December to early January, after the last leaves come down. On our jobs here, the spring visit finds seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. The fall visit finds the wet leaf mat, and when a house skips fall, we see runs that have sagged or pulled loose by the time the rains come back.
Under heavy tree cover, big trees over the roof, the gutter clog happens faster. Needles, twig bits and grit build up between visits, and clogged downspouts are the first sign the house is due, so those houses are on every three to four months. Houses with few or no trees need one visit a year, in December or early January, and that is enough for most lots. Gutter guards cut the work down, but the gutter system still needs clearing, so we keep those on the same calendar with less time per run.
When we open a gutter here in spring, the rainwater usually has a clear path until the blockage gets to the elbow. Once it does, the water pushes over the edge, and that is how the leak shows up on the siding and the soffit. The point of the visit is to catch it before that happens and protect your home from water damage. Clean gutters and downspouts move water away from your home, and good drainage keeps the landscape around the foundation from washing out and the fascia from rot, which is where the expensive repairs usually start.
After the first visit we tell you how many cleanings your lot actually needs, and we put the schedule in writing so you can plan around it. Keep your gutters on that schedule and the rest of the house stays dry.
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 have cleaned on many streets across Four Corners, and the crew covers the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking for our gutter services starts with an estimate at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using your stories, your square footage and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send, and a clean shot of the gutters helps more. Lead time depends on the season. Across Texas, spring fills from late March to April, and December to early January fills for fall, so call early if you want a particular week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. When the crew arrives, they set up, work the runs, flush every downspout and send you the photos before the truck leaves, and the runs are left clean. If you have a question about how the gutter cleaning process works, text us and we will answer it the same day.
Our Four Corners gutter cleaning crew does not drive out for one run. We set the schedule so the visit covers the whole house and any outbuilding with a gutter, and we confirm the date in writing. For a homeowner who wants gutter maintenance handled in one go, the twice-a-year cleaning and maintenance plan is the simplest option. Get your gutters on the calendar now, before heavy rainfall starts, and the gutters stay clean and the rest of the year stays easier.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We will not quote a range here because the lot and how full the gutters are change the number. Once we have those, the quote is the price you pay.
Across Texas, the spring window runs late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop. Here the fall visit runs December to early January, after the leaves are down and before the first freeze. If you wait past the fall visit, the gutters carry leaves and debris into the rainy season, and that is when the sag and structural damage show up.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and the crew shows up on that date with the photo report ready to send.
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 flow-tested, and we check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still catch leaves on top of the guard and in the seams. On our jobs we lift the panels, clean underneath, flush each downspout and reseat the guards, which usually runs shorter than an open gutter.
If the rain gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge, the problem is slope, capacity or downspout size, not a cleaning problem. Send us 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. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we tell you before they start, and you agree to it first.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
