Our own crew cleans gutters in Texas City, with every downspout flushed and flow-tested, the debris 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 roof, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we work the same way on every job here.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for gutter cleaning services depends on the number of stories, the square footage and what is sitting in the trough. We quote it 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 of gutter, so ask how a quote was built before you book anywhere.
On our jobs the quote moves when the crew finds a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall, or gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with compacted debris and buildup, which takes longer to clean. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and a sloped lot that changes the drainage and the water flow at the eave shows up on the ladder before it shows up on paper. 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.
Texas City homes are a mix of older brick ranches and newer two-story homes, and the ones that cost the most to clean are the houses with heavy tree cover and a gutter that has been left alone for years. On one recent house in a neighborhood where the trees hang over most roofs, the crew had to clean out clogged downspouts, each one packed to the elbow with leaf mat and seed, and the quote reflected that work. The case is linked from the coverage section below. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text and we can tell you more before we arrive.
We do residential properties and residential and commercial work from the same crew. Commercial properties get the same flush and photo routine, but a quote for a home is built from the house, and a quote for a building is built from the building and its lease. Ask for the number in writing if you want it that way. Either way, clean your gutters on a schedule that fits the tree cover, and the regular gutter cleaning keeps the clog and the water damage from starting in the first place.
| 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 Texas City customers book twice a year, in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and again in fall after the last leaves come down. In spring the gutter is full of seeds, seed casings and pollen paste that packs the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that builds up along the roofline and starts the blockage before the rainy season. A run that is clean in spring can be sitting full again by the time heavy rainfall arrives, and Texas City averages 62.8 inches of rain a year, with August, September and December the wettest months.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, our customers are on a schedule of every three to four months, because needles, grit and the odd twig pack the downspouts between visits and a single clog can back water up under the shingles and cause a leak. Few or no trees near the house, once a year in late fall is enough. Near a busy road or a construction site the grit alone is reason to move up to a shorter schedule. The point is to clear the water away from your home, so you protect your home from water damage before rainwater does the work for you.
On a house with a full gutter system, we check the gutters and downspouts on every visit, not only the stretch you can see from the driveway or the landscape near the walk. Gutter guards change the work but not the need: they hold the leaves off, and they still collect the surface debris that clogs the run. The schedule is the same whether the house has guards or not, so do not assume a guarded house can skip the visit or that guards mean you never need to clean.
After the first visit we give you an estimate for the tier your lot actually needs, and we put the reason in the photo report so you can check it yourself. Keep your gutters working through the seasons and you save the cost of rot and sag later. Texas City TX gutter services start with a phone call, so text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a date. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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 cleans residential gutters across Texas City and the surrounding areas, working from the nearest base to the house on the schedule. We have cleaned gutters on homes across the city, from the older brick ranches to the newer two-story houses, and the crew knows the common layouts. To get your gutters on the schedule, start with a quote by phone or text from the number of stories, the size of the house and the tree cover, and a photo of the front of the house if it is easy to send. Lead time depends on the week, and Texas City homeowners get the date confirmed when they call.
The two busy windows are spring and fall, and the calendar fills quickly in those months, so book early if you want a particular date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home while we clean. Keep the side gate unlocked and let us know about any dog or other pet that needs to stay inside while the ladders are up. Our homeowner customers across the city use the same process, and gutter maintenance follows the same routine in spring and fall. We explain the gutter cleaning process on the phone before we book.
Texas City gutter cleaning is the same work on every house, but the schedule changes with the trees and the rain. If your roof sits under a canopy, the leaf mat and needles pile up faster, and that is when a three-month schedule keeps water away from the fascia. Ask us about your lot and we will tell you whether a shorter schedule makes sense. Cleaning and maintenance on the gutters keeps the house dry, which is the whole job, whether you clean once a year or take the three-month cleanings.
Our cleaning services in Texas City are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number to you by phone or text. We do not quote a price range here because the house decides it. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the figure in writing.
Our customers here book late spring after the seed drop and late fall after the leaves come down, which are the months we see the most buildup of leaves and debris. If the gutters wait past the first hard freeze in the rest of the state, the leaf mat sets and the cleaning takes longer. Across Texas the pattern is the same: clear the gutter before the wet season, not after.
Same-day service depends on the week, and most slots come up within the week. We confirm a date when you call, and we do not promise a slot we cannot keep.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before the truck leaves. Keep the side gate unlocked so we can clean the back runs, and keep any pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and flow-test it at the outlet, and we check that water is leaving the run. Clearing a buried drain line is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it, so it is never a surprise on the invoice.
On our jobs guarded gutters still collect debris on top of the guard and in the trough beneath it, so they still need a visit, usually less often. We clear the surface, lift the panels and check that water is getting in. Guards change how often a rain gutter needs a visit, but they do not end the need for cleaning.
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, and water left running over the edge can cause structural damage to the fascia. Send us a photo or a short video in the rain and we will tell you what it is. We will not sell a second cleaning for a slope problem.
The quote holds unless the crew finds something that changes the job, such as a clog that goes further up the run than the photos showed. If that happens we tell you before work starts, and you decide, so the number on the invoice matches the number on the phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
