Our crew cleans gutters here, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the mess hauled away, and photos of every run before we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 and we quote from stories, size and tree cover, and the number on the phone is the number on your invoice. Most homeowners book in spring and fall, when seed and pollen drop or the last leaves come down.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price on Plainview homes depends on how many stories the house has, its 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. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, and that lands in a similar place once the measurements are in.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment to reach. A walk-out basement or sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with compacted buildup, and that is slower work. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras. A small leak at a seam adds time, and we check every seam on the run. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Here is what the experience looks like on a typical visit. Most homes have a gutter system that clears in one visit, but the clog we find at the downspout elbow often tells us more than the trough does. Rainwater that cannot leave the trough tells us where the blockage is. When a run has a sag or the drainage has slowed, we flush every downspout and watch the water flow before we leave. That is how we check whether the buildup is the problem or whether something structural is behind it. Gutters that come clean in one pass take less time than ones that need a second go. Our crew handles residential and commercial properties on the same schedule, and the quote covers the full job either way. Regular gutter cleaning keeps each visit shorter, and for residential properties we keep the same approach: clean your gutters properly once, and you avoid paying for water damage later.
| 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, in spring and fall, and the fall visit usually lands November to early December. In spring we find seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is leaves packed into a wet mat, and where the winter gets cold, the first ice and the ice dams at the eave. Winters here carry freeze risk, so that ice is a real concern. Houses that skipped the fall visit often have clogged downspouts and a gutter that has sagged or pulled loose by spring. The goal in spring is a clean run from the roof to the downspout.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule that keeps a clog from forming between visits, because needles and grit pack the downspout faster than a seasonal visit can keep up. On a clogged run, rainwater backs up behind the blockage and runs over the front edge. A clean trough with a blocked downspout still overflows, which is why we check the downspout too. In a landscape with few or no trees, a roofline does well on one visit a year in late fall. Gutter guards help with leaves but still need the surface cleared and the downspout checked, so they go on a schedule closer to twice a year, and gutter services on guarded systems include that cleaning and maintenance step.
Each estimate here starts with a photo of the front of the house, and that is how we figure which tier your lot needs. In Plainview TX, May, June and July are the wettest months, with about 19.3 inches of precipitation a year overall, and that heavy rainfall is what fills a clogged trough. A clean spring run helps protect your home from water damage before those months start. After the first visit we tell you which schedule actually fits your house, and we help you keep your gutters clear through the seasons that matter most.
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 works across Plainview and the surrounding areas from the nearest base. Booking is simple for any homeowner. Call (866) 435-6328 or text with your stories, your square footage and whether trees cover the roof, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Plainview gutter cleaning is quoted that way, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the visit. The two busiest windows on our calendar are late spring and late fall, so book early in those months if you want to get your gutters on the calendar sooner.
Ask about the gutter cleaning process when you call, and we will walk through what happens on the day, from the gutters and downspouts to the photos we send. Mention any overhanging trees when you call, because a twig or a seed casing caught in a downspout changes how long the visit runs. If you are unsure whether you need the spring or fall visit, the estimate call is the right place to sort it out. Clean gutters move water away from your home, and that is the whole point of the visit. Repeat cleanings on the same house are quoted from what we found last time, and gutter maintenance between visits is a separate call. We can fold cleaning and maintenance into one visit when the crew is already up there. We would rather tell you what your house needs than sell you a visit it does not.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house, so tell us the stories and the square footage when you call.
Most of our customers book in late spring and late fall. In spring we clear seed casings and pollen; in fall, the wet leaf mat and the first ice where the weather turns cold. Waiting past the fall visit is when we see runs that have sagged by the next spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a specific date when you call. If you need something sooner, say so on the phone and we will tell you what is open.
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.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water run clean at the bottom, which tells us it is carrying water away from the house. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check the outlet and tell you what we see. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Guards stop most leaves and debris, but a rain gutter still collects needles, seed casings and grit on top and inside the trough. On our jobs we clear what sits on the guard, flush the downspout and check that water is getting in.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, it has a slope or capacity problem, not clogged downspouts. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. Left alone, that overflow can lead to fascia rot and structural damage. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The number we quote is the number we charge. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start. The same rule applies to commercial properties.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
