Our own crew will clean gutters in Schertz TX, flushing every downspout and hauling away what comes out, with 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 shades it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule. Across Texas, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills first.
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 it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services that price by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, though we price the whole house rather than measuring every run.
On our jobs, a few things move the price. A third story or a steep pitch takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline, so the back run sits farther off the ground. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with compacted buildup, and that is slower to clear than a run we see every season. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
Our experience here is mostly with schertz homeowners who want the work done once and done properly. Clogged downspouts back water up along the whole rain gutter, and one clog at a single downspout is enough, so the main cost is the time to find where the blockage starts and clear it through to the outlet. Every homeowner gets the same photo set and the same flush, whether the house is one level or two. If a run starts to sag or pulls away from the fascia, we photograph it and report it, and we say so plainly.
Commercial properties are priced per building, and the same logic applies. The number of stories and the total square footage set the crew size and the lift needed. Leaves and needles on a flat-top section collect around the scuppers, and we check that water is leaving them. Where we find structural damage on a commercial property, such as a sagging run or a loose hanger, we note it in the report with photos and do not repair it, because we do not do repairs.
When gutters are not cleared on schedule, water runs over the edge and finds its way to the foundation. That is how an inexpensive cleaning becomes a bigger job, so we keep the visit regular. Every cleaning is designed to keep water away from your home, and to flush the lines so the water flow has a clean path out.

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.
Schertz gutter cleaning usually runs twice a year, in the spring and fall. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and our Schertz fall visit runs late November to December, after the last leaves come down. May, September and October are the wettest months here, with about 34.4 inches of rain a year, and that is when rainwater has the most chance to back up at a blockage. When we open a gutter in the spring, we usually find seeds and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and when a gutter is clean, water runs out the bottom instead of over the edge.
Under heavy tree cover, we see customers every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits and a single clog can back up the whole gutter. A blockage near the eave is the one that catches people out. With few or no trees, once a year is enough for most houses, and that is the schedule we suggest for regular gutter cleaning. Gutters with guards still need someone to clean the surface, though less often.
Residential properties on the same street can need very different schedules, so after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs and give you an estimate for the next visit. Stick to that schedule and you rarely need to clean your gutters on short notice.
Cleaning and maintenance on a set calendar is simpler than a rushed call to clean up after heavy rainfall, and gutter maintenance between visits is mostly a matter of checking the downspout after a storm. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline to book a date for either 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 works across Schertz and surrounding areas from the nearest base, and we do not name the base. The gutter cleaning process starts with an estimate by phone or text, based on stories, size and tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house helps if it is easy to send. Call (866) 435-6328, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The same crew handles residential and commercial jobs, and our calendar fills in the busy windows of spring and fall, so it is worth booking early in those months.
Every visit is a full gutter service, not a quick look from the ground. The crew clears gutters and downspouts end to end, will flush every downspout, and checks the outlets. The crew will not call a gutter clean until water runs out the bottom. A twig or a seed head stuck in the bend can hold water back even when the trough looks empty, so that gets checked too. If the house has suffered water damage from an earlier overflow, tell us when you call so the crew knows what to look for. A leak at a seam is photographed and reported, not patched on the spot.
Our crew handles gutter services in Schertz and the surrounding area, and we are happy to talk through what you have seen. Ask us to keep your gutters clear with cleanings on a regular schedule, since a flushed downspout is one way to protect your home from water damage between visits.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your gutters quoted, since we do not give a figure until we know those two things.
Most of our Schertz customers book the spring and fall visits, and the fall visit runs late November to December. If you wait past that, we usually find a wet leaf mat that has started to sag the runs by early spring.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service before we know the job.
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, keep the driveway clear, move any planters off the landscape beds, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that water is leaving at the outlet, which confirms drainage before the crew leaves a clean run behind. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, gutter guards keep out leaves but not needles, seeds or grit, and that material mats on top and rolls off the front edge. We lift the panels, clear underneath, flush the downspout and reseat them, so the gutter system comes back clean.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in rain, that is usually a slope or downspout-size problem rather than buildup, and water left running over it can start wood rot in the fascia. Send us a photo or short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is, without selling a second cleaning.
It should not. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before they start, and the invoice matches the estimate.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
