Our own crew cleans gutters in Mount Pleasant, and this crew flushes and flow-tests every outlet before we leave. Leaves and grit are hauled off, not blown into the beds, and you get photos of every run on your phone before the truck goes. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the ladders for each visit.
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 it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price gutter cleaning services by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the stories and the state of the gutter usually decide the total.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds once the ladder is up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to work safely. A walk-out basement puts the back run far above grade. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and clogged downspouts, one after another, have to be cleared by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included, never billed as extras, and every run comes out clean. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Texas, the houses we clean with heavy leaf and seed load tend to show the same pattern: the drainage stalls at the elbow first, then water flow drops and the gutter starts to sag at the hangers. Heavy rainfall finds a blocked run fast. Clearing a clog early costs less than the structural damage that follows, and it keeps the rain gutter moving water away from your home. Gutters and downspouts get checked together, so a clog in one shows up in the other. On the commercial side the same logic holds, and our commercial properties get quoted per building with the lease terms in mind. For Mount Pleasant homeowners, the same logic applies at a smaller scale: the crew comes out, works the whole run in most Mount Pleasant homes, and leaves the leaves and debris in the truck.
| 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 twice a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Texas that schedule covers most houses. Our Mount Pleasant TX calendar is booked in the order calls come in, so call early. On our jobs, when we open a gutter here in May we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In the fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit the runs are often sagging or pulling loose by the time winter ends.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the rhythm we see work, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the outlets between visits. Near a busy road or active construction, the same tighter schedule applies. With few or no trees, once a year in late fall is enough. Guards cut the frequency of gutter maintenance, but the surface still has to be cleared, and the roofline buildup still settles on top of the guard.
Gutters clogged by rainwater that cannot drain show the first signs as overflow at the front edge or a leak at a seam, and an unnoticed blockage can run into the fascia. A gutter estimate from us covers the tier your lot actually needs. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, so you are not paying for a schedule you do not need. Ask us to clean your gutters on the schedule that fits your trees, and keep the debris removal in the same visit. Regular visits are how you keep your gutters flowing. Our regular gutter cleaning visits get booked in order. Both residential and commercial work follow the same calendar, and residential properties keep the same spring and fall rhythm.
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 Mount Pleasant gutter cleaning crew works from the nearest base and covers the surrounding areas, including the neighborhoods where we have already cleaned. Booking is simple: you call or text, we ask for stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the house front if it is easy to send. That is the whole gutter cleaning process up front. We quote from those answers and hold the date. Nobody needs to be home, and we call before we come. The two busiest windows of the year are spring and fall, so book early if you want a particular day, since cleanings in those seasons fill first.
We work the same way for a homeowner who wants one visit and for a property manager with several buildings. Both get the same gutter services from start to finish. Every gutter run gets cleared and left clean, we flush every downspout, and the photos go to the phone before the crew leaves. That is how we protect your home from water damage around the roofline, and it is why clients who keep up the schedule tell us their water problems stop. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will get your gutters on the calendar.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. I will not guess a figure here because the house decides it. Once we have the stories and square footage, the quote is the price we charge.
Across Texas our customers tend to book late spring and late fall. On our jobs the spring visit catches seed and pollen buildup, and the fall visit catches the leaf load before winter. Waiting past those windows is when we tend to find the runs sagging.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We offer cleaning services in Mount Pleasant, and when you call (866) 435-6328 we will tell you the earliest opening we have.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and move anything in the landscape beds that could get stepped on.
Yes, every outlet gets flushed and flow-tested, and we check where the water exits so it runs clean at the bottom. Across Mount Pleasant we work each one the same way on every job. If a drain runs into an underground line, we tell you what we see. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and we quote it separately before anyone starts.
Yes. On our jobs we find needles, seed casings and roof grit sitting on top of the guard and packing the trough underneath. Gutter guards are part of the gutter system, not a replacement for cleaning it. Guards reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, but the surface still gets cleared.
A gutter that is clean and still overflowing usually has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem. Left alone, that water finds the fascia and starts to rot the board. 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 problem.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work begins. 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.
