Our own crew cleans gutters in Midland, flushes every downspout and flow-tests it, hauls off the leaves and seed, and sends photos of every run to your phone before we leave. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been working those calendars on our own jobs for years.
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 quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other outfits price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place per run, but the three things above are what we actually look at on the roof.
On our jobs a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more gear. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaves and seed, and that takes more hours. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time on both ends. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Most midland homes we work on are two-story houses with a fair amount of leaf and seed load in the back runs, and those are where the clog shows up first. We see the same pattern on homes like yours: the downspout elbows fill, the clogged downspouts back water up behind the fascia, and the rain gutter starts spilling over the front edge. Where the drainage is already slow and the water flow is weak, the crew clears the buildup and then runs water through each downspout until it exits cleanly at the bottom. That is the difference between a gutter that looks clean and one that actually moves water away from your home.
Commercial properties here get quoted per building on the same basis as residential properties, with the scope set in advance so there are no surprises on the second visit. Whichever kind of building you have, the crew checks for rot and structural damage while the gutters are open, photographs any run with a sag, and reports it rather than selling a repair.
| 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 regular gutter cleaning twice a year. Across Texas, spring cleanings run late March to April, and fall visits here run November to early December. In spring we open gutters full of seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet mat of leaves and debris in the troughs, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find a run pulled loose by the time the weather turns. That is the rainwater finding its own path, and it usually starts at a single clog.
Under heavy tree cover or dense landscape, the spring and fall cleanings are the minimum, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack each downspout between them and a blockage can form fast. Few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough for most roofs. Lots near a busy road or construction tend to sit on the shorter schedule too. Gutter guards change the work but not the need: the surface still needs a clean, just less often.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in your gutters rather than a general rule. If you want that first estimate, call (866) 435-6328 and we will get your gutters on the calendar before the next rain.
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 run midland gutter cleaning from the nearest base, and the crew covers the whole service area for all gutter services. We clean gutters and downspouts from the first run to the last, and booking a gutter cleaning service is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we ask about stories, size and tree cover. A photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. We give you the quote on the spot and set a date. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows, spring and fall, fill fastest, so it is worth calling early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for an exterior cleaning. The crew works outside and does not come inside. Gutter maintenance is the point of every visit: booking it is how you keep your gutters clean and working through the seasons. A roofline leak that gets caught early is a small fix, and it helps protect your home from water damage. We also do residential work for Midland homeowners in the surrounding areas, and the same crew handles residential and commercial work alike.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure in advance without those two things, because a two-story house with heavy buildup can run very differently from one with light leaf load. Visits for cleaning and maintenance are priced the same way.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and fall visits here run November to early December, after the last leaves are down. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs pulled loose and a blocked downspout by the time the first freeze arrives.
Most slots across Midland come up within the week, and we confirm the exact date when you call. Same-day depends on the calendar, so ask us when you reach out.
No, a homeowner does not need to be home. The gutter cleaning process runs the same either way: the crew works outside, 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, every downspout is flushed and we watch the water exit at the bottom. If a downspout feeds an underground drain line, we check that water is leaving at the outlet and tell you if it is not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need cleaning, less often. On our jobs the surface litter sits on top of the guard, and when it gets wet the water runs off the front instead of going in. The crew lifts the panels, clears underneath, flushes each downspout and reseats the guards.
If a gutter is clean and still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall, the problem is slope, capacity or downspout size, not a cleaning problem. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before work starts. The number we quote 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.
