Our own crew cleans gutters across the city, every downspout flushed and flow-tested, everything we pull out hauled away, and 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 the gutters, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and we have been cleaning these homes for that whole stretch of the calendar.
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 sitting in the gutters. Southlake homes are priced from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Companies that price by the linear foot land in a similar place per foot, but on a real house the stories and the access drive the labor more than the length does.
What moves the price on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets up there. A third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk adds time and equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the eave. Gutters that have not been opened in years are packed with compacted debris, and that takes longer than a light clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add a step. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job is raised with you before work starts, never on the invoice.
On the houses we clean, the price that surprised a customer most was a two-story home with a heavy load of leaves and debris in the back run and a clog low in one downspout that needed to be cleared from the bottom up. The gutter itself was sound. The buildup was the job, and we priced it from what we found on the ladder, with the photos sent to the customer before we left.
Southlake averages about 39 inches of rain a year, and May, June and October are the wettest months, so gutters on the homes we service carry the most water then. The first thing we check on the back runs is whether water is moving away from the foundation or sitting in the trough. A clog that holds water there is how it finds its way behind the fascia and into structural damage that costs far more than a cleaning. Drainage and water flow are the test on every rain gutter we open, and we price the visit so the cleaning comes out to what it takes to get the water away.
We clean residential and commercial properties with the same crew and the same flow test. Each one is priced from its own stories, its own layout and its own clogged downspouts, and homeowners hear what we find before we start. Commercial properties get the same photo of every run as a house does, and residential properties get theirs before the truck leaves. Our gutter cleaning services follow the same process on every stop. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house, or book a date and we confirm the number before anyone climbs a ladder.

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.
On our Southlake TX jobs most customers book twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. Spring visits land in late March to April across Texas, after seed and pollen drop, and fall visits run late November to December, after the last leaves. When we open a gutter in spring we find seeds and pollen paste packed into the elbows of every downspout. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the run, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have pulled loose by the following spring. Whatever the month, the goal is to keep your gutters clean enough that heavy rainfall runs off the house instead of over the edge.
Under heavy tree cover, or near a busy road or construction, the schedule tightens to every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. With few or no trees over the roof, once a year in late fall is usually enough to keep water moving away from the house, and the same rule holds across the surrounding areas we service. Gutter guards mean less frequent work, but the surface still needs clearing, so the cleaning and maintenance visit stays on the calendar with a shorter list.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot needs, based on what came out of the gutter and not on a rule of thumb, because regular gutter cleaning catches the blockage before it sits in the roofline and turns into an estimate for repair that costs far more than the cleaning.
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 handles gutter services across Southlake and the surrounding areas we serve. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text and tell us the number of stories, the size of the house and whether trees hang over the roof. Southlake homeowners who give us those three things get a firm number on the call, and a photo of the front of the house by text helps us price faster. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows each year, spring and fall, so the earlier you call the more choice you have on a date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Keeping your gates unlocked and your cars off the driveway is enough on our end. Ask us to flush every downspout and check it drains, and we will tell you what we find before the truck leaves. Our cleaning services work the same way whether you are home or at work, and the sooner you call, the sooner we can clean your gutters on a date that suits you.
If you have a leak, a sag or a twig jammed in a run, tell us when you book so the crew can look at it on the visit. Gutter services and cleanings that clear the buildup and check the flow keep water away from your home, and a clean gutter is the first step to protect your home from water damage.
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 give a figure without knowing those two things, and the figure we give is the figure on the invoice. Our cleaning services in Southlake are priced that way on every job, so if you want to get your gutters on the calendar this season, ask for the next open date when you call.
Most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall, with spring visits running late March to April across Texas and fall visits in late November to December. If the fall visit gets skipped, leaves and the first freeze can work into the runs, and heavy rainfall then has nowhere to go. Booking Southlake gutter cleaning in those two windows keeps the runs clear, and regular gutter maintenance between visits keeps them that way.
We confirm a date when you call, and most slots come up within the week. Call (866) 435-6328 when you want to clean your gutters or book a gutter cleaning service, and we will say so plainly if the calendar is full. We do not promise same-day work because the calendar depends on the crew and the weather.
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 before the truck leaves, so you can see the water is moving away from your home.
Yes, every downspout is flushed and flow-tested as part of the visit, and debris removal is included in the price. Clearing an underground drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it. The visit is not finished until every downspout runs clean.
Yes, guarded gutters still need the surface cleared and the flow checked as part of the cleaning and maintenance visit. On our jobs the grit and mulch from nearby landscape beds that gets past a guard packs the downspout, and keeping your gutters clear under a guard is the same job with a shorter list.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows has a slope or downspout-size problem in the gutter system, not a debris problem. Water sitting at the fascia is what makes the board rot, so send us a photo or a short video of the rainwater going over the edge, and we will tell you what it is, without selling you a second cleaning.
It should not, unless the crew finds something that changes the job. If it does, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts, never after. That rule is part of our gutter cleaning process on every job.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
