Our own crew cleans gutters in Prosper, TX. Every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, the leaves and debris are hauled away, and you get photos of every run before we leave. A clean gutter line carries heavy rainfall away from your home and helps protect your home from water damage.
The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover is over the roof. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we have been running that schedule on our jobs here for years.
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, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. Our cleaning services in Prosper are priced over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on our jobs the stories and how much is packed in are what change the crew's time. Prosper homeowners who ask about the gutter cleaning process get the walk-through on the call, and a clean, written number is the point.
What moves the price on our jobs here is what the crew finds when they get on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes how we work the back runs. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down packed solid with wet muck, and that takes longer than a light fall load. A clean run of gutter takes the crew a fraction of the time that a packed one does. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, flow testing and debris removal are included in the quote and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised before work starts, never on the invoice.
On a house with heavy tree cover, the gutter fills fast and the leaf mat sits on the trough, and a twig or two wedged in the elbow can cause a clog or a blockage. Our crew clears that first, then we flush each downspout until it runs clear at the bottom, so drainage is checked at the outlet. A customer with few or no trees over the roof usually has a lighter job, and the quote reflects it. Ask for the estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or send a text with a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number while you are still on the line. A homeowner who wants a clean read on their gutter maintenance can start with that one call, and if you have gutter guards, say so on the call too.

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, once in spring after the seeds and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves come down. Across Texas, spring visits fall in late March to April, and across Prosper we keep that same window. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and that buildup is how a clog starts. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag or pull loose by the next spring. Our fall visits run November to early December, and a clean gutter going into winter is the goal, because Prosper has freeze risk and a gutter full of wet leaves can hold water against the eave, where it can leak behind the fascia.
Under heavy tree cover, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Prosper averages 42.1 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, so heavy rainfall in those months finds any clogged downspouts fast. With few or no trees over the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Guarded gutters are cleaned less often, but the surface still needs clearing, since the leaf mat sits on top of the guard. Keeping a rain gutter clean between visits is what stops the sag. On the lots we work, the gutter system tends to follow the trees on the landscape more than the age of the house. A run that sags holds rainwater, and standing water is how rot and structural damage start.
After the first visit we tell you which cleaning and maintenance schedule your lot actually needs, based on what we found in the gutters, not on a general rule. The goal is a clean run that moves water away from the house, and that is what we check on every visit.
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 Prosper homes from a nearby base and works the Prosper TX area as a whole. Calls about the surrounding areas go to the same phone line, and we will tell you if a job falls outside what we cover. Booking runs the same way everywhere: we give you the price by phone or text from your stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. The quote comes first, and the date follows once you say yes. Homeowners who call for a gutter cleaning service get the same pricing path as everyone else, and every visit includes a check of the water flow, and we flush every downspout until it runs clear at the bottom. Pricing on this page is for residential properties. Anything that is residential and commercial, or that sits on commercial properties, gets a different estimate, so say what the building is when you call.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when the seeds and leaves are heaviest. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot. If you want to get your gutters on the schedule before the rush, call early. Regular gutter cleaning is the simplest way to keep your gutters clear, and the first visit sets a clean baseline, so it is worth the early call. Our gutter services are booked the same way every time: quote first, date second. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit, since the work is done outside.
If you are not sure which season your gutters need, or how often to clean your gutters, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what the last visit left behind and what the next one should look like.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the roofline and we will give you an estimate from there. The estimate covers the gutters and downspouts on the whole house.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the seeds and pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. If the gutters wait past the first hard freeze, the wet leaf mat can hold rainwater against the eave, and a blockage or clog at a downspout turns that into a leak, so the fall visit is the one we do not want to slip.
Most slots come up within the week. We confirm the date when you call, and if you need something sooner, ask and we will tell you what we have.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves, so you can see the clean result without being there. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested, and the water flow and drainage at the outlet are checked. If water is not leaving at the outlet of a buried line, we tell you. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs the leaf mat sits on top of the guard, and once that mat is wet, rain runs over it and off the front edge. We lift the panels, clean underneath, flush every downspout and reseat the guards, and that is how you keep your gutters working between visits.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets water over the edge has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. Keeping that water off the fascia is how you protect the home from water damage, so send us a photo or a short video of it 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. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, and you agree to it before the crew goes further. The same rule applies to all of our gutter services.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
