Our own crew cleans gutters in Midlothian, every outlet flushed and flow-tested, trash hauled off, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, roof size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our Midlothian jobs, most homeowners book the spring and fall visits, and we have been on those roofs for years. Tell us the stories and rough square footage, and we will call back with a firm number.
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 give you an estimate over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by linear foot, which lands in a similar place, but we price the whole house so you know the total before we arrive. Our gutter cleaning process starts with that quote, and Midlothian homeowners get the same written number whether the house is new to us or not.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far above grade, gutters nobody has opened in years, which often look clean from the driveway, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear the trough. Flushing, flow testing and debris haul-off are included and never billed as extras, and the material leaves away from your home the same day. A clog at the back run or a leak at a joint usually adds time, so if one changes the job we raise it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent Midlothian TX house with no trees over the roof, the crew found the gutter system clean on the front run but packed at the back, with leaf mat and seeds that had sat in the trough since the previous fall. The quote held because the job was two stories and the back run was reachable from the ground, and the homeowner received photos of every run before we left. Under heavy tree cover the work is the same, but the gutter maintenance schedule is shorter, and we explain that on the phone so the cost is clear before you book. Our crew can handle the cleaning and maintenance on any house, and the number stays where we give it. Our cleaning services in Midlothian are priced the same way on every house, and a clean trough means little if the water cannot get out, so after the gutter cleaning service is done we flush each outlet and check the water flow. A quick text with a photo of the front of the house helps us confirm stories and access before we call back.
| 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 Midlothian customers book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, and where freeze risk is part of the picture we see ice forming at the eave and runs that sag or pull loose by March on houses that skipped the fall visit. Midlothian has freeze risk, so water that stalls in the trough can freeze and block drainage at the eave before the spring visit. The spring visit, which across Texas runs late March to April, is when we check gutters and downspouts for winter damage.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rule on our jobs, because needles, a stray twig and grit pack the outlets between visits. Near a busy road or active construction the gutter system takes on grit faster, and the same schedule applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guards slow the buildup, but the surface still needs clearing, so guarded gutters get a shorter interval than open ones on the same lot. The wettest months are May, June and October, and heavy rainfall then is when a clogged run overflows first, so a clean trough going into those months matters most. Midlothian gets 42.4 inches of rain a year, and most Midlothian homes under a full canopy feel that first. A landscape with a full canopy sheds far more leaves and debris than an open lot does.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the trough and at the outlets. Our crew does not promise a single schedule for every house, because a leaf mat under a full canopy and a dusting of seed pollen on an open lot are different jobs. Between visits, a rain gutter that overflows or a drain that stops flowing is worth a call, because a blockage can push rainwater behind the fascia along the roofline and into the wall, where it brings rot and structural damage that costs far more to fix than a cleaning. If a run overflows, call us to clean your gutters early rather than waiting for the next booking. On every visit we flush every outlet, and between visits keep the water away from the foundation by checking where the water goes.
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 work across Midlothian TX and the crew covers the city from our nearest base. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using stories, roof size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Typical lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early keeps the slot you want. We start at the roofline, since a clean roofline keeps the trough from filling in the first place. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date with you before the crew heads out.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work. The crew handles residential and commercial calls on the same schedule, and residential properties in the area are the bulk of what we clean. If you want regular gutter cleaning on a set calendar, tell us when you call and we will hold dates for the rest of the year. If you want to get your gutters done twice a year without thinking about it, say so when you call. Our gutter cleaning services are booked on a number we give you up front, so the date and the number come together. We also take commercial properties on the same price basis, and homes in surrounding areas get the same gutter services. The debris removal is part of every visit, so there is nothing to haul away afterward, and the goal is a clean run of gutter before the next rain.
The number depends on stories and size, so we price it by phone or text rather than on a page. Send us the stories and rough square footage and we will call back with the figure. Call (866) 435-6328 with those details, and the figure you hear is the one on the invoice.
Spring and late fall are when most of our Midlothian customers book, and that is when we find the seed packing and the leaf load. If you wait past the fall visit, the first freeze can lock muck into the runs and cause ice to form at the eave. Starting with a clean trough means the freeze has less to lock in, and keeping the gutters clear is how you protect your home from water damage in the first place.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We cannot promise same-day for every request, so ask when you book. Ask us how often to keep your gutters clear, since the answer depends on the trees and the roof.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. We flush every downspout and check where it drains, including underground lines, and we will tell you what we find. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need attention. What we find under guards on our jobs is leaf and seed mat sitting on top of the guard, which blocks water from getting in, so we clear the surface and check the flow.
If the gutters still overflow after we leave, it is usually a slope or capacity problem rather than a blockage. Even a clean run can overflow when the pitch is off, so send us a photo or short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
No, the price 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 work starts. Text a photo of the roofline of your Midlothian TX house and we will confirm the number before we book.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
