Our own crew cleans gutters in Manvel, every run flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Texas customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we are busiest.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on the number of stories, the square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it 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 once the length is measured. Our crew covers Manvel homes of every size, and a short rain gutter run gets the same three questions as a long one. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more set-up. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run, so it sits higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters that have not been opened in years sag under the weight of a buildup of compacted grit and the black water under it. A gutter system that has sat full for years often hides a leak at a seam or poor drainage at the outlet, and we look for both on every visit. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too, and so do clogged downspouts and leaves and debris packed into the elbows. Flushing, a water flow check and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our Manvel visits follow the same pattern. On one recent house with no trees over the roof, the crew got the run clean, flushed the outlet and found the elbows packed with grit, and the quote stayed where it was given. Heavier tree canopy changes the job, and we see that clearly on the houses where leaves and seed casings fill the back run first. A clogged run that is never cleared shows up as structural damage at the fascia and soffit, which is why we check the outlets every visit. Moving water away from your home is the point of the whole job, and we quote it that way so you can compare it to anything else you are considering. The same crew handles residential and commercial work, and commercial properties are priced per building.
| 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 Texas customers book twice a year, in spring and fall. Across Texas, the spring visit falls late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit falls late November to December, after the last leaves are down. Gutters in Manvel TX follow that same rhythm. When we open a gutter here in April we usually find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and that is what starts the clog that holds rainwater against the roofline through the heavy rainfall months. Ice is not a concern in Manvel, so the fall visit is about clearing the leaves and leaving the gutters clean before they rot in place.
Under heavy tree cover, a regular gutter cleaning service every three to four months is the schedule that works, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits and the blockage forms faster than you would expect. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Guards need less frequent cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still has to be kept clean. Those are the tiers we see on our jobs, and they are a starting point rather than a rule, because what counts is how fast your own gutters fill.
Every house is a little different, so after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. The schedule is a matter of what we find in the gutters, the trees around the house and the road or construction nearby. Plan on a gutter maintenance check each season to keep your gutters clear, and call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date and find out when to clean your gutters next.
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.
Manvel gutter cleaning services cover the whole city and the surrounding areas, and the crew works from the nearest base without giving the base address. We clean gutters and downspouts on every job. Booking is the first step in the gutter cleaning process: you call or text, we ask for stories, the approximate size and whether there is tree cover over the house, and a photo of the house front helps if it is easy to send. We give the quote then, and we book a date once you agree to it. Manvel homeowners get the same steps every time, and our gutter services follow them for a single-family house or one of our residential properties. Lead time varies with the season, and the busiest windows are the spring and fall visits, so booking early is the better move. Call (866) 435-6328 to check the next open date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside the house. Every homeowner gets a call before the crew arrives and photos after they leave, and that is true for each of our cleanings. If you are not sure whether the gutters are clogged, text us a photo of the house front and we will tell you what we see. A run that looks clean from the ground can still be full, or hold a twig wedged at the outlet, so a photo is a quick way to decide whether a visit is worth scheduling this season. Clean gutters, with or without gutter guards, help protect your home from water damage, and that is the whole reason for the visit.
Our estimate for a two-story house in Manvel comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure off the page; the number you hear is the number you pay.
Across Texas, our customers usually book in late March to April and again in late November to December. If the gutters wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat rots in place and the downspouts clog before spring. Those are the months we see the most work.
Our service is booked by date across Manvel, and most slots come up within the week; we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day service, because the calendar fills in the busy windows. If a storm is coming, call early to get your gutters on the calendar.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see the gutters are clean. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and flow-test it at the outlet until the water runs clean. Where the outlet dumps onto the landscape next to the foundation, we check where the water ends up. If a line drains underground, we check that water is leaving and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning and maintenance, though less often. Needles and seed casings sit on top of the guard and the mat holds water, so we keep the surface clean and check that water is getting in. We do not sell guards as a product.
A clean gutter that still spills in rain has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope issue.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quoted 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.
