Our own crew cleans gutters in Pasadena, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, and photos of every run 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. Across Texas, most of our customers book in spring and fall, once the seed drop and the last leaves are down.
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 services are quoted over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price per linear foot land in a similar place, but the number is still built from the house in front of us.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A walk-out basement puts the back run far up, which changes the setup. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted muck, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. We flush every run and check the flow, and hauling it off is included and never billed as an extra. A clean run is only half the job, because the water still has to reach the outlet. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Across Texas, the houses we see most often with clog buildup at the elbows and clogged downspouts are the ones where leaves and debris have been sitting through a wet season. The gutter stays full, the water flow stops at the bend, and water away from the foundation becomes the real job. We price that honestly from the photos and the walk-around, not from a rate card.
On the Pasadena homes we clean, the difference is usually tree cover and how long the gutters have gone unopened. Where the gutter system has a sag in a run or the fascia is taking water, we show you the photo and tell you what it is. A rain gutter that still overflows after we clean it is a slope problem, and we say that plainly rather than selling a second visit.
Commercial properties follow the same logic at a larger scale: per building, scheduled, with the roof and the drainage checked on the same visit. Structural damage from a blocked run is what we are trying to prevent, and the quote reflects how many runs and downspouts the building actually has. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it.
| 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 here in Pasadena TX book two cleanings a year. Across Texas, the spring visit usually falls late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit lands in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter in that spring window we find seeds packed in the elbows and pollen paste over the drain mouths. In fall it is a wet leaf mat, and that is the visit that keeps rainwater from sitting in the trough through June, August and September, the wettest months here. A clean trough going into the wet months is the goal.
Under heavy tree cover, needles, twig pieces and grit pack the drains between visits, and a dense landscape of trees around the house means that lot goes on a three to four month rhythm. With few or no trees, a single fall visit is usually enough on the houses we clean. A gutter system with guards still needs the surface cleared, so clean your gutters on the same calendar, just less often. Watch the roofline after heavy rainfall; a run that has a sag in it or pulls from the fascia is the sign to call before the next storm.
A blockage or clog left through a wet season costs more than the visit that would have prevented it. Use the estimate line at (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and the tree cover, and we will tell you which schedule your lot needs. Residential properties and commercial buildings both follow this pattern, and a regular gutter cleaning schedule with debris removal on every visit is the cheapest way we know to protect your home from water damage. After the first of these cleanings we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 cleans gutters across the city and the surrounding areas, working out of the nearest base without a fixed route, so your slot depends on the calendar that week rather than the street. We work with each Pasadena homeowner and with property managers alike, and every pasadena gutter cleaning job gets a date once the quote is confirmed. Booking is simple: give us the stories, the rough square footage and whether trees sit over the roof, and send a photo of the house front by text if that is easy. We quote from that and confirm a date. The gutter cleaning process is the same for one house as for a row of them.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are spring and fall, when most of the calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better your pick of days. We call before we come to clean, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. A quick text with the photo lets us see the roofline and the trees before the truck is on the way. Call early if you want to get your gutters on the calendar before the rains, since booking early also keeps a small leak in the fascia from turning into rot and keeps the trough clean going into the rains.
If you have a commercial building or a row of homes, our gutter cleaning service can schedule them together and keep the drains on the same visit. Whether it is a single house or several buildings on one property, we work through our gutter services list the same way: runs first, gutters and downspouts flushed, and the report in your inbox, with every run left clean. Each visit covers cleaning and maintenance together, and regular gutter maintenance is how we protect your home from the next storm. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to keep your gutters clean and working, and water away from your home through the rainy season.
Our cleaning services in pasadena are quoted from stories and size, and we give the number to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because the same two-story house can take very different time depending on what is in the gutters.
Across Texas, most of our customers book the spring visit in late March to April and the fall visit in late November to December. Wait past the fall leaf drop and the rainy season arrives before the runs are clean, which is when water starts sitting behind the fascia.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. We do not promise same-day unless the calendar actually has an opening that day.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run they clean and every outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every outlet is flushed and flow-tested at the bottom. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, less often. Under guards we find needles and twigs threaded through, with seed casings and grit sitting on top, so a guarded gutter system still needs a clean on the surface and the water flow checked. How often depends on the landscape and the trees over the roof.
Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain. A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge has a slope or outlet-size problem, and we will tell you what it is rather than sell a second cleaning.
Only if something changes the job, and 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.
