Our own crew cleans gutters in Mansfield, flushing every downspout and checking flow before we leave, with the mess hauled away and photos of every run sent to you. The price comes from stories, roof size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been doing it that way for years on our own jobs.
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 our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but on our jobs the stories and the eaves tell us more than footage alone. Each gutter cleaning service is written up in the same format, so the number is never a surprise.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down with years of buildup packed tight, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A single twig jammed in a downspout elbow can hold back a whole run, so the crew checks every elbow. A clean run takes less time than a packed one. A rain gutter pulled loose or showing structural damage gets reported to you before any repair is discussed. Downspout flushing, flow testing, debris removal and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Mansfield homes we see gutter blockage show up in the same few places: the front run that empties into a single downspout, and the back run under the trees where a clog sits for months before anyone notices. Under heavy tree cover the crew usually finds the back run full of leaves and debris with grit packed underneath, and the clogged downspouts packed to the elbow, so the job is priced around that clean-out, not around the number of feet. Proper drainage is the goal, meaning water moved away from the foundation, and that is what we are paid to deliver. Residential properties and commercial properties both come through the same pricing logic here, and the quote is always written up before the crew climbs, so the homeowner knows the number first.
| 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.
On our jobs here, most customers book twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Across Texas the spring visit falls in late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls in late November to December, after the last leaves. When we open a gutter here in May we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat along the roofline, and a run left clean before the freeze avoids the sag we see by March on houses that skipped that visit.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the right rhythm for residential and commercial roofs alike, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits and a clog that forms in June can send rainwater over the edge in the May rains. Mansfield TX gets about 39.4 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall is when a neglected run shows its problem. A lot with few or no trees is fine on a single late-fall visit. Regular gutter cleaning keeps a blockage from building, and gutter guards still need the surface cleared, just less often. Our tiers are set by what the lot actually drops, and the blockage tells us more than any calendar does.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Ask for the estimate and we will walk the eaves and the downspout runs with you on the phone, so you know when to clean your gutters next. Our gutter service is set up around that tier, so the calendar follows your lot instead of the other way round.
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 clean across Mansfield and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and our gutter services run on the same schedule across the whole city. Mansfield homeowners start with a quote by phone or text from their stories, their roof size and whether trees hang over it, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. Typical lead time runs on our current calendar, and the two busy windows, spring and late fall, fill fastest.
We call before we come and nobody needs to be home. Once the date is set, the crew arrives in the window we gave you, gets the gutters clean first, and then flushes each downspout. The cleaning runs in that order, and the point of Mansfield gutter cleaning is to keep your gutters and downspouts moving water away from your home. Regular cleanings help protect your home from water damage and stop a small leak before water reaches the fascia and the board starts to rot, so the earlier you book the easier that is to keep on schedule. To get your gutters on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text before the crew is booked. Downspout flushing and haul-off are in that number.
Most of our customers here book in late March to April and again in late November to December, and that is the right time to clean your gutters here. If you wait past the fall visit, we see sagging runs by the following March on houses that skipped it.
Our cleaning services in Mansfield usually have a slot within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 to check the calendar, and if there is an opening sooner, we will tell you on that call.
No. The gutter cleaning process runs outside only: the crew 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 the water flow at the outlet so water does not soak back into the landscape near your foundation. If a line runs underground, we check that water is leaving, and clearing a buried line is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs guards keep leaves out, but needles and seed casings sit on top and grit settles underneath, so the surface still needs clearing. Guards are part of the gutter system, and gutter maintenance does not stop when they go on, so cleaning and maintenance still happen and the downspout still needs flushing.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows in heavy rainfall has a slope or downspout problem, not a debris problem. Send us a photo or short video of it taken in the rain and we will tell you what it is; we do not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
Only if the crew finds something that changes the job, and then you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. 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.
