Our own crew cleans gutters in Missouri City, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything that comes out hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, approximate square footage and whether trees hang over the roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we can see your roofline from a single photo.
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. Our gutter cleaning process starts with those three things, and we quote it over the phone or by text. The number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place, though the per-foot method leaves out the height and access that actually drive the crew's time.
On our jobs, a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the crew's setup. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above grade, and a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted sludge and a clog of wet leaves, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A run that comes out clean on the first pass is the easy case. Downspout flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included, we check the water flow at each outlet, and none of it is billed as an extra. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
When we open a gutter in Missouri City, the heavy rainfall months are when we see the most blockage, and a homeowner who waits through them often ends up with rainwater running off the roof edge instead of into the downspout. A leak at a loose seam tends to show up first in those storms. Regular gutter cleaning and maintenance pays off, since scheduled cleanings cost less than a run left to sit, and a run cleaned on schedule carries less compacted buildup. The quickest way to get your gutters priced is a text with a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you what we see and what it costs to clean it, and we keep the estimate the same when the crew arrives.
| 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 cleanings are booked twice a year here. Across Texas, the spring visit falls in late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop finishes, and the fall visit comes in December to early January, after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and the fall visit finds the leaves and debris and the wet mat left after the rainy months. A gutter system that skips the fall visit often shows sag or loose runs by early spring, and a clean trough in March is what we look for first.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months keeps the clogged downspouts from backing up between visits, because needles, twig fragments and grit pack the lines faster than leaves alone. Few or no trees near the house means once a year in late fall is usually enough, and a clean run then carries into winter. Across Missouri City, TX, we have seen both schedules hold, and the landscape around the house sets which one fits. Gutters with guards still need a clean surface on top, though less often than an open run.
When we first open a gutter here we check the rain gutter for rot, the joints for water running behind the trim, and each downspout for a clog. Poor drainage that lets water sit against the house is the usual path to structural damage, so the schedule is built around keeping water away from your home and the foundation. A leak you can see from the ground is usually the last sign of a problem that started at the joints. A clean first visit does not mean the lot is done, so after it we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. To book, 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 covers Missouri City homes from the nearest base, and surrounding areas get the same crew. We work the same way across residential and commercial properties. Book by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a quote from stories, size and tree cover. Booking is straightforward. The calendar fills in two busy windows, the spring and fall visit periods, so ask early if you want a particular week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Lead time depends on the week and the crew schedule, and we confirm a date when you call rather than promising a slot we cannot hold. Regular gutter cleaning service keeps each visit short, and a one-time clean of a neglected run takes longer, with more debris removal on the truck. Our gutter cleaning services in Missouri City come with the same crew and photos for every job, and Missouri City homeowners get them before we leave.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We will not quote a figure from a sentence in an article, because the crew needs to see the roofline first. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will give you the same number we charge.
Across Texas, the spring visit falls late March to April and the fall visit runs December to early January, and most of our customers book both. Missouri City gets the most rain in May, June and August, so a clean run going into those months keeps the downspout moving. Gutters left through a freeze can be damaged before spring, so do not skip the December to early January visit. If you clean your gutters yourself in between, use a ladder stand-off on the lip.
We confirm a date when you call, and most slots come up within the week. Gutter services are booked by phone or text, and we do not promise same-day service because it depends on the crew schedule that week.
No. Our 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, and the crew leaves the yard as clean as it found it.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check it at the outlet, and flushing is included in the quote for gutters and downspouts alike. Clearing a buried underground line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still collect debris on top of the guard and grit underneath, so you still have to keep your gutters clean on the schedule. On our jobs we lift the panels, clear beneath, flush the downspout and reseat the guards. Clear gutters are how you protect your home from water damage, guards or not. We do not sell or install guards.
A clean gutter that still overflows in rain usually has a slope or downspout-size problem rather than debris. Send us a photo or 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. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after. 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.
