Our own crew cleans gutters for Selma homeowners. We flush every downspout until it runs clear, bag the leaves and grit, and take photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and how much tree cover is over the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We plan most visits around spring and fall, and the photos reach your phone either way.
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 many square feet it covers, and what is sitting in the gutters. A Selma homeowner can get an estimate by phone or text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Some companies price gutter cleaning services in Selma by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place once the length is worked out.
On our jobs, a few things move the number. A third story or a steep roofline takes longer and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the gutter line. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with leaves, grit and the odd twig, and a clog at a downspout elbow takes extra time to open. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Downspout flushing, debris removal and a water flow test that checks drainage at each outlet are included, never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, not on the invoice.
A regular gutter cleaning process leaves a clean trough and keeps a leak at a seam or a small clog from turning into rot behind the fascia. Regular cleanings, plus the gutter maintenance between them, keep water away from your home when the next heavy rainfall arrives. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text if it is easy, and we can tell you a lot about what it takes to get your gutters done before we come 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.
Selma homes do well on a spring and fall calendar, and the schedule is built around those two visits. Across Texas, spring visits usually fall in late March to April, after the seed and pollen drop. The fall visit lands in late November to December, after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed in the elbows, and the gutter system needs a clean before the wettest months start. In fall it is leaves and debris, and on houses that skip the fall visit a run can sag or pull loose by March, with clogged downspouts and rot starting behind the fascia.
Under heavy tree cover, or on commercial properties near a busy road or construction, the gutter system fills faster, and those lots need a shorter interval. Needles and grit pack the downspout elbows between visits. With few or no trees, the trough fills slowly and the fall visit does most of the work. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, but the surface still needs clearing, so the visits do not stop. Selma gets 34.4 inches of rain a year, and May, September and October are the wettest months, so the runs carry the most water then. Across Texas, Gulf hurricanes and tropical storms bring heavy rainfall too, and a rain gutter that is full of wet leaves cannot take it, while a clean one can. Here, a sagging run can freeze, and that is how structural damage often starts.
After the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs. If the landscape slopes toward the foundation, we flag it, since keeping water away from the house matters more than how full the trough is. A clean trough in March tells us the fall visit did its job. The lots that fill fastest across Selma are usually the ones under heavy tree cover. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the gutters.
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 serves Selma homes and the surrounding areas, and we schedule around your calendar. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and tell us the stories, the rough size and whether trees cover the house. Your quote comes from those details. Spring and fall are the busy windows, so booking early helps. Regular visits keep a clog from forming, and the crew checks drainage at each outlet. Any sag or buildup in a run gets photographed, and a water flow test runs before the crew leaves. Debris removal is included in the quote, and if you want us to clean your gutters on a tighter schedule, say so when you book. We call before we come, nobody needs to be home for the visit, and the yard is left clean. For residential and commercial work we keep the same crew standard, and for residential properties we show up with the same photos and the same invoice.
Our gutter services are quoted from stories and size, and we give you the number by phone or text. We do not guess a figure without those details. Once we have them, the quote is the number on the invoice.
Across Texas, spring visits usually run late March to April, and the fall visit lands late November to December. If the fall visit is skipped, a leaf mat and a blockage can sit in the gutters and downspouts until March, and rot starts behind the fascia. Under heavy tree cover the trough fills faster, so we suggest a shorter interval after the first visit.
Availability for our cleaning services depends on the calendar that week. Call (866) 435-6328 to check a date, and we confirm it when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone once the gutters are clean and the truck is loaded. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, which helps us protect your home.
Yes. We flush every downspout and watch it until it runs clear, and we check that water leaves at the outlet. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, quoted before anyone starts.
Yes. Leaves and grit sit on top of the guards, and seeds and needles work through them. We clear what sits on top, keep the trough clean underneath, and check that water is getting in. Guards cut down how often the trough fills, which helps protect your home from water damage, but they do not replace a visit.
A gutter that is clean and still sheets rainwater over the edge has a slope or downspout problem, not a blockage. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we tell you what it is. We do not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Only if something changes the job, and in that case you hear it and agree to it before work starts. The price you were quoted is the price on the invoice.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
