Our own crew cleans gutters in La Homa, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, 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 is over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we do not give a dollar figure until we know the 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 stories, square footage and what is in the gutters, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we give you is the number we charge, and a clean invoice matches the quote. Our gutter cleaning services are priced the same way for commercial properties, so the stories and square footage drive the number whatever the building is. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the house is measured, and we will tell you which way your number was built.
On our jobs, four things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther up than the front. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out with leaves and grit packed in, the clog has to be cleared before any water flow can be tested, and clogged downspouts get cleared first. A run is not clean until water runs through it. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends of the visit. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included in the price and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before the crew starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on our La Homa jobs. Most of the calls we get from La Homa homes start with a rain gutter that overflows at one corner, and when the crew opens it, the sag is usually from years of buildup, not a failed hanger. Where that is the case, the clog clears, the run comes out clean, the water flow comes back, and the quote is set by how many stories the house has. Some houses have had water pour over the front edge for a season, and the first thing we check there is the drainage at the base of each downspout. If the board behind the gutter shows rot, that is structural damage, and we say so on the quote rather than bury it in the cleaning price. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, which is how most La Homa homeowners get a first number, and we can tell you fast what the first number will look like.
| 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.
Across Texas, most of our customers book twice a year, in spring after seed and pollen drop and in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Texas, the spring visit usually falls in late March to April, and the fall visit in late November to December. When we open a gutter here in spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit, we have seen the runs sag and pull loose by the next wet season. A twig or two lodged at an elbow is enough to start that backup, and a clean elbow is the first thing we check.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that holds, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and a single clog at the elbow can back water up behind the gutter. Across Texas, storm season brings Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms, and heavy rainfall after one is the fastest way to find a blocked run. Rainwater has nowhere to go when a run is blocked, so it spills over the front edge instead. Few or no trees over the roof means once a year in late fall is usually enough. Gutters with guards get less frequent visits, but the surface still needs a clean, since a wet mat on top of a guard stops the water from getting in at all. On our La Homa jobs, a blockage at the elbow is the most common reason a downspout stops draining, and a single estimate at the first visit tells you which tier your lot actually needs.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, and the clean your gutters schedule goes from there. A regular gutter cleaning plan keeps the estimate honest from year to year, and it means the haul-off happens on the same day as the clean rather than a second trip. Booked as a gutter cleaning service, the visit doubles as gutter maintenance, so the elbows stay open between seasons. Our cleaning and maintenance schedule is set after that first look at the house, not guessed from the street.
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 covers La Homa, and we work across La Homa as a whole. Booking starts with a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text with stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy for you. Lead time is set by the calendar, and the two busy windows are spring and fall, when most homeowners book at once. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. A heavy landscape of trees and shrubs around the house sends more leaves into the gutters, so tell us when you book. The gutter cleaning process is the same for residential properties, and every homeowner gets the whole gutter system checked before we leave.
Every visit is a chance to protect your home from water damage before the next storm. A leak at a seam or an overflow at a corner is usually small when we find it and expensive if it runs through a wet season, so we treat each visit as keep your gutters working for the whole year. Every clean covers the gutter line, the gutters and downspouts, and the drainage at the base, and we flush every downspout to confirm it is working to move water away from your home. Houses with gutter guards get the panels lifted and reseated on the same visit. Our cleanings include the debris haul-off, so nothing is left for you to bag. Where your property is in the surrounding areas of La Homa, the same crew handles it, and La Homa gutter cleaning and gutter services are booked the same way. One call to (866) 435-6328 can get your gutters on the calendar, since the busy windows fill first.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house in La Homa, TX, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not give a range before we know the house.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall. If you wait past the fall leaf drop, the wet mat gets heavier and the runs can sag before the rainy season is over. A clean gutter going into the wet season is much easier to hold than one full of leaves.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day unless the calendar has an opening that morning. Our cleaning services in La Homa are booked by calendar date, so call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
No. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every clean 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 every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. Clogged downspouts get cleared before the flush, and if water does not clear at the outlet we tell you. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we price it before anyone touches it.
On our jobs, guards still collect a wet mat of needles and grit on top, and that stops the water from getting in. Tree cover and the landscape around the house decide how much mat reaches the guard. We lift the panels, clean underneath and flush the downspouts.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, it is usually a slope or downspout-size problem, not a clog. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is.
Only if we find something that changes the job, and you hear about it and agree before work starts. The quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. The same rule applies to residential and commercial jobs.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
