Our crew cleans your gutters, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled away, 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 hangs over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book the visit in spring and fall, and that is when we see the most drainage trouble.
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 price it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Some companies price a rain gutter by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is added up.
On our jobs, a few things move the price. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above the ground, so the crew has to set up differently. Gutters nobody has opened in years are often packed with leaves and debris that have compacted into buildup, and that is slower to clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, and clogged downspouts that need the crew to open the elbow add more. Outlet flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our jobs. On one house in Galena Park Homes with heavy trees over the house, the gutters had a clog in the back run that held water and started to sag at the joint, and left alone that sag leads to structural damage. The crew cleared the buildup, flushed each outlet until the water ran clear, and checked the water flow down to the drainage line that moves water away from the foundation. The customer booked a shorter schedule afterward because the tree cover kept packing the drains between visits. The price came from stories, size and what was in the gutters, and the invoice matched it. Any company offering gutter cleaning services prices from stories and size, and the photos show you exactly what we found.
Commercial properties are priced per building, and the same rules apply: the number on the phone is the number on the invoice, and anything that changes the scope is raised before the crew goes up.
| 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 after the seed and pollen drop, and in fall after the last leaves come down. On our jobs in Galena Park TX, we find the seed casings and pollen paste packed into the drain elbows in spring, and the leaves and debris in fall. When we open a gutter here in spring, the rainwater has nowhere to go past the first elbow, and the roofline shows the first signs of water coming over the edge. Across Texas, the spring visit usually falls in late March to April and the fall visit in late November to December.
Under heavy tree cover, we see clogs build up faster. Needles, grit and seed casings pack the drains between visits, so those houses end up with clogged downspouts and need a visit every three to four months. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Near a busy road or construction, the blockage comes faster too, so the schedule shifts closer to the every three to four months timing. Gutter guards still need the surface cleared, and gutter maintenance on a guarded house runs on a longer interval.
Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms bring heavy rainfall, and that is one more reason the spring and fall visits matter. A clean system moves water away from your home, and a clogged one lets it sit at the eave and leak into the wall. Both residential and commercial buildings run on this calendar, and residential properties with heavy cover get the shorter interval. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the gutter system clean and clear, and the estimate of work stays small. It is the clearest way to clean your gutters before the wet season. Book early and you keep the right choice of dates with a gutter cleaning service that includes debris removal on every visit.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutters and the drains.
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 worked on gutters across the whole service area, and the crew runs from the nearest base. To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. Any homeowner can book in one call, and we will give you a price from the number of stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the house. Booking works the same for residential and commercial properties, with a price for each building.
Galena Park gutter cleaning books up in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so homeowners who want a particular date should ask early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home. The crew works outside and does not come inside the house. Call us now to get your gutters clean before the wet season, and we will confirm the arrival window.
Surrounding areas are covered from the same schedule. Every one of our cleanings and gutter services includes flushing every downspout and checking the gutters and downspouts on each visit, and we pull out any twig or leaf stuck at an outlet. Gutter guards get the same visit, with the surface cleared and the guard lifted to check the trough. If the gutters look worse than expected, you get photos before we start, so you know what the job involves. We want to keep your gutters working, protect your home from water damage, and catch any leak before the next storm.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not name a figure before we know the house. That call is the start of our gutter cleaning process, and once we have those details, that figure is the number we charge.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall. In spring we find seeds and pollen in the drains, and in fall the leaf load and the wet mat. Heavy rainfall can fill a clogged trough in hours, and if you wait past the wet season, a clog gets harder to clean out. Keeping the gutter system clear before the wet season is the easier job.
Most slots come up within the week for cleaning services in Galena Park. We confirm a date when you call, and we will tell you the first open day on our calendar. Homes across Galena Park are on the same calendar, so get your gutters booked early in spring or fall.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every outlet on the visit, and the crew checks that water is leaving at the far end. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep leaves out but needles, seed casings and grit still get through and mat on top. The surface still needs to be cleared, and the guards need to be lifted to check the trough. That is part of our cleaning and maintenance visit, and it is built into the price.
A clean gutter that still overflows has a slope or outlet-size problem, not a buildup problem, and water that is not carried away from your home can lead to rot and structural damage. It can also wash out a landscape bed along the foundation. Send us a photo or short video of it 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 price covers the stories, size and what we expected to find. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts, not after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
