Our own crew runs this gutter service in Port Arthur, flushes each drain and flow-tests it, hauls the leaves away, and sends photos of every run so you can see it left clean. The price comes from your stories, your home's size and how much tree cover is overhead, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most homeowners book in spring and fall, and we would rather you call before the first heavy rain than after the water is over the edge.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price depends on how many stories the house has, how big it is and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote residential properties over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price by the linear foot, and that gets to a similar place, but the stories and the condition of the gutter matter more than the footage.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. On Port Arthur homes, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run is higher than it looks from the yard. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with buildup of compacted leaves and grit that takes twice as long to clear by hand. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Flushing each drain, checking the water flow and hauling the mess away are included and are never billed as extras. If anything we find changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a recent job the quote moved because the house had mature cover over the back run and the clogged downspouts were packed to the elbow with seeds and grit, so the crew spent extra time flushing each one until the water came out clean at the bottom. The price was set on the phone from the same three things, and it did not change on the roof. You can see the write-up for that job here, and we send photos of every run so you can see the same thing on your own house.
Gutter cleaning services are quoted to match your house, not a generic rate. A rain gutter with a clog that has been sitting through a wet season can let a leak start in the fascia and soffit, and rot and structural damage follow if it is ignored, so the sooner the leaves and grit come out, the less there is to repair later. Our crew is here to keep water away from your home, the foundation and the siding, and to show you exactly what was in the gutters when we are done.
| 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 two cleanings a year, which is the usual schedule we see in Port Arthur TX. Across Texas, spring visits usually land late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop, and our fall visits run December to early January, after the last leaves come down. When we open a gutter here in spring we usually find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see a run that has started to sag or pull loose by the time the weather turns.
Under heavy tree cover, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because seed pods, twig fragments and grit pack the drains between visits and a gutter that looked fine in spring can be blocked by midsummer. Homes with few trees and a sparse landscape do well with one visit a year, in the December to early January window. Gutter guards need less frequent debris removal, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because a mat of leaves and grit on top can stop rainwater from getting in at all.
Leaves and debris left in the gutter through the rainy season are the most common reason we are called out for an overflow. A clog at the outlet is easy to miss from the ground, and the first sign is often water running down the siding or pooling at the foundation. Booking early is cheaper than waiting for the overflow to show up at the back door, so clean your gutters before the rainy season starts. After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot needs for regular gutter cleaning, and you can book the next one with a single call to (866) 435-6328.
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.
Port Arthur gutter cleaning is done by our own crew, who serve surrounding areas from the nearest base to the house. The first step is an estimate by phone or text, built from your stories, your home's size and whether trees hang over the roof. A photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the number, and it takes about a minute to send. Booking is simple, and we confirm a date when you call.
Spring and fall are the two busiest windows of the year, so book early if you can. A homeowner does not need to be home for the visit, and we call before we come. Residential properties get a phone or text quote. Residential and commercial jobs both start with a quote, so if you have commercial properties, ask when you call and we will say whether the crew can take it. Lead time depends on the week and the weather, and we tell you the first date we can offer when you call about our gutter services.
Protect your home from water damage and leaks by clearing the gutters before heavy rainfall arrives. Our work covers gutters and downspouts from the roofline to the ground across Port Arthur, and we will tell you what we find, including anything outside the gutter that needs attention. Keep your gutters clean through the wet months, and call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters on the calendar.
The gutter cleaning process starts with a quote built from how many stories the house has, how big it is and what is in the gutters. We quote it over the phone or by text, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Flushing each drain and hauling the mess away are included.
Spring visits across Texas usually land late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop. Our fall visit runs December to early January, after the leaves come down. If you wait past the fall visit, we often find runs that have started to sag by the time the weather turns cold.
Most slots for cleaning services in Port Arthur come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. Same-day availability depends on the schedule that day, so the fastest way to find out is to call (866) 435-6328.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and drain to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and we check the drainage at the outlet. If a drain feeds an underground line that will not clear, we tell you, and clearing a buried line is a separate job that is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes, though less often, and it is still gutter maintenance. Guards hold leaves off, but seed pods, casings and grit mat on top, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it instead of into the gutter. Our cleaning and maintenance visit clears the surface and checks that water is getting in.
If a gutter is clean and still overflows in rain, the problem is usually slope or downspout size in the gutter system, not blockage. Send us a photo or a short video of it in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
It should not. The quote is built from stories, size and tree cover. If the crew finds something that changes the job, we stop, tell you what it is, and agree to the change before the work continues.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
