Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts in Rowlett, flushes every downspout, checks that each one flows, hauls away everything it pulls out and sends you photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have run spring and fall visits for homes here for years, and most of our customers book in those two windows. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 our gutter cleaning services over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we give is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but the house still decides it. Downspout flushing, flow testing, drainage checks and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras, and the yard is left clean. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice, and a homeowner hears it on the phone first.
On our jobs the things that move the price are consistent. A third story, or a pitch too steep to walk safely, means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the roofline. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back run. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with compacted leaf matter that holds rainwater, the kind of blockage that needs a clog cleared by hand before the flush can do its job. A gutter system with guards we have to lift and reseat adds time too, and we tell you that up front.
On a recent job in a neighborhood with mature trees, the house had two stories, a steep front run and gutters that had gone several seasons without a visit. What we found was a buildup of seed casings and wet leaves that had started to sag one section near the corner. The clog was cleared, every downspout was flushed, and the run was left clean and retested for water flow before we left. The quote we gave on the phone was the number on the invoice. The case is here: see this job.
Residential and commercial work is priced the same way: by what we find when we get up there, whether the job is at a home or at commercial properties. For Rowlett homeowners we keep to residential properties, and the approach stays simple, so the number you hear is the price you pay. Rowlett homes get the same plain estimate: ask for it and tell us what you see from the driveway. If you want regular gutter cleaning, we set that up so the cost stays predictable from one visit to the next, and you do not have to remember when to clean your gutters.
| 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 in Rowlett book twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. On our jobs the spring visit clears seed casings and pollen paste from the elbows of the downspout, and the fall visit clears the leaves and debris that sit in the gutter and wait for the first heavy rain. Skipping the fall visit leaves that wet leaf matter in place through the winter, and the rainwater it holds finds a gap in the seam and starts a leak. Clearing both seasons helps protect your home from water damage.
Under heavy tree cover, every three to four months is the schedule we see work. Needles, grit and the odd twig pack the downspout between visits, and a clog that starts in spring can back water over the edge at the first heavy rainfall. If the house has few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep your gutters clear and carry water away from your home. Guards need less frequent cleaning, but the surface still needs clearing, because what sits on top of a guard eventually turns to a paste that blocks the flow.
In a neighborhood we visited last fall, a house with no trees on the lot was booked for once a year and had a clean run for the whole season. A house under big trees on the next street was on the three-to-four-month schedule and needed its rain gutter and downspout flushed twice in one year. Those two lots tell the same story: the tree cover decides how many cleanings a year you need, and the gutter does the rest. Both cases are linked from the coverage section below.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, based on the trees, the landscape around the foundation and the roof pitch. Until then, the schedule above is what we see on our jobs in this area, not a rule we are handing you, and a clean first visit tells us the rest.
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.
We clean gutters across Rowlett and the surrounding areas from our crew base nearby, and we have worked the older streets and the newer subdivisions alike. Booking a Rowlett gutter cleaning starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the stories, the approximate square footage, whether trees hang over the house and whether you have gutter guards, and send a photo of the house front if it is easy to take. The estimate comes back from those details, so the first call takes a few minutes and the visit is set from there. Call (866) 435-6328 to get started.
Calendars fill fastest in late spring and again in late fall, the two windows when most homeowners think about their gutters. If you are planning around those months, call early and get your gutters on the calendar. The gutter cleaning process is simple: we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. You can keep working inside while the crew is outside on the ladders, and the crew leaves the ground clean when the job is done. Photos of every run arrive on your phone too.
If your gutter maintenance is part of a larger plan, we can line up the visits so the spring and fall dates stay consistent. Some customers book a single clean to check a blockage or a leak at a seam, and that is fine. Whatever the reason, cleaning and maintenance are booked the same way across all our gutter services, and the estimate is the number we stand behind.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not put a single figure on this page, because the same two-story house in Rowlett TX can come out different depending on what is in the gutters. Tell us the size and whether trees hang over the roof, and you will have the estimate before we schedule anything.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall. If you wait past the fall visit, we usually find the wet leaf mat still in the gutters when the first freeze comes, and by March that is the season we see runs sagging on houses that skipped it. Spring is after the seed and pollen drop, and it is the other visit worth keeping to start the year clean.
Same-day service depends on our calendar that week, so call and ask. Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call.
No. Our crew works outside, keeps the yard clean, 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; that is the whole list.
Yes. We flush every downspout, and clogged downspouts get cleared first and watched until water runs clear at the bottom. Where a downspout feeds an underground line, we check that water leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job, and we give you a price before anyone touches it.
Yes, guarded gutters still need attention. On our jobs we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guard, and grit underneath, so the surface still needs clearing and the downspout still needs flushing. The job is usually shorter than on an open gutter, and we price it that way.
If a gutter is clean and still spills over the edge in rain, the problem is usually slope, capacity or the size of the downspout, not a clog, and water left running over the edge can cause fascia rot and structural damage. 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. The quote is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never after.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
