Our own crew cleans gutters for Lantana homeowners, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away and the gutters left clean, 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 sits over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall, when seed drop and falling leaves have just finished filling the gutters.
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 gutter cleaning services for homeowners here by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per run, but on a typical house that is harder to check against what you will actually pay. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds once on site. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk safely, means more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters that nobody has opened in years are often packed with compacted leaf matter, which takes longer to clear from the trough and the elbows, and they can hide structural damage that the crew reports rather than fixes. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included in the price and never billed as extras. Once the trough is empty, the crew will clean out the elbows and check drainage at every downspout, so the gutter system keeps the water flow moving toward the downspout. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what we have seen on Lantana homes. On one job the rain gutter ran a clog that backed water over the front edge in every heavy rainfall, and the crew found the buildup had gone into the first downspout elbow. The clog was cleared, the run was flushed until the water left the bottom clean, and the quote matched what the customer was told on the phone. Another house with a sag in the back run and a small leak at one seam was flagged in the photos so the owner could decide what to do about it. We do not repair or install gutters, so anything beyond cleaning is photographed and reported to you, on homes and commercial properties alike. Where leaves pile up under heavy tree cover, the clogged downspouts are the first thing we check, and we flush every downspout so the water moves away from your home, which helps protect your home from water damage. That is the gutter cleaning process we run on every call.

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 here have us out twice a year, in the spring and fall. On our Lantana TX jobs the spring visit comes after seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from late November to December, after the last leaves have fallen. When we open a gutter here in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows, and when we open one in November we find a wet leaf mat that has started to rot. We would rather open a clean gutter in November than a full one. On houses that skipped the fall visit, we have found runs that sagged under the weight of the buildup and pulled loose from the fascia by the following spring.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see work. Needles, grit and seed heads pack the elbows between visits, and a gutter that looks clear from the ground can still be restricted in the elbow. Residential properties with few or no trees need only a cleaning once a year in late fall. Treat it as gutter maintenance, not a one-time job, and the pattern holds for residential and commercial buildings alike. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs clearing and the guards still need to come off and go back on, so the schedule shortens rather than disappears. Each visit includes debris removal, so nothing is left in the trough.
A clog that sits through a rainy season leaves more than a wet trough. Here it gets about 39.2 inches of rain a year, with May, June and October the wettest months, so a blockage in the elbow turns that heavy rainfall into water running under the shingle edge. By the time a homeowner sees a stain on the ceiling, the rainwater has usually been running behind the gutter for weeks. Regular gutter cleaning services keep the water moving to the downspout instead. Between visits, check the gutters after heavy rain, and if you see water spilling over the edge, call us before you clean your gutters yourself. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the estimate in writing so the schedule is clear before the next season starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters to book a date.
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 cleans gutters across Lantana from the nearest base, and our cleanings follow the same steps on every house we visit. Every homeowner gets the same checks, whether it is a first visit or a regular cleaning, and the same photos at the end. Lantana gutter cleaning is booked by phone or text. We will ask for the number of stories, the approximate size of the house and whether trees sit over the house, and a photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the quote. The calendar fills in two busy windows each year, in spring and in fall, so booking early keeps your preferred date open. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Booking is simple, and the process stays the same whether it is your first visit or your fifth. Once the date is set, the crew arrives in the window we gave you and works from the ground and the ladders. The work is done from outside the house. Every visit ends the same way, with photos on your phone before we leave. Our gutter services cover gutters and downspouts from the top of the trough to the outlet, and we flush every downspout before the crew packs up. If you have gutter guards, tell us when you book, since the guards have to come off and go back on. Keep your gutters clear between visits by checking after heavy rain, and call us if water starts coming over the front edge. Regular cleaning and maintenance costs far less than a rotted fascia board. We cover surrounding areas as well, so if you are close to the city limits, ask when you call. A gutter that is clean and dry at the joints is easier to check at the next visit, and a leak at a joint or a twig jammed in the elbow is photographed for you to see.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. You pay that number at the end, with nothing added.
Most of our customers book a spring visit and a fall visit, and the fall visit runs from late November to December. In May we find seed and pollen packed into the elbows, and if the fall visit is skipped, the wet leaf mat is what we find the following spring.
Not always, but most of our cleaning services in Lantana are booked within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Ask about your street when you call, since we cover the surrounding areas.
No. Our crew works outside, keeps off the landscape beds, leaves the yard clean, 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 every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet. Once the outlet runs clean, that downspout is done. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. Guards keep leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit still sit on top, mat down and hold water where it can rot the fascia. We clear the surface and check that water is getting in.
A gutter that is clean and still spills over the front edge in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem rather than a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or 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. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and you agree to it before the crew goes further. Call (866) 435-6328 so we can get your gutters on the schedule, or text a photo to ask for a written estimate.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
