Our own crew cleans gutters for every homeowner around here, flushing and flow-testing each run, hauling everything away, and taking photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over the house, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. We have been out on this work across Texas for years, and most of our booked visits fall in spring and fall.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price for the Woodlands homes we clean depends on stories, square footage and what is in the gutters, and we quote it over the phone or by text from those three things. The number we quote is the number we charge. Some gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot, which lands in a similar place per run, but we would rather you get one number that already covers the whole job. Commercial properties are a different conversation, so ask us on the phone whether yours falls under the same quote.
What moves the quote on our jobs is pretty consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more care on the ladder or lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the back roofline. Gutters nobody has opened in years come out packed with years of buildup, and a clog that deep takes longer to clear. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. A gutter system that has sagged or pulled loose is a different job, and we say so before we start. Flushing, flow testing and hauling away what comes out are included and are never billed as extras. Once the troughs are clean, the crew checks drainage and water flow at the outlet. If anything we find changes the job, you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On the houses we clean, the heavy-tree cases are the ones that surprise people most. A home with a steady rain of seeds and needles in the gutters is a different job from one with two leaves and a bird nest, even at the same square footage. We see the rain gutter run full of leaves and debris in the first storm after a long dry spell, and clogged downspouts are usually the reason the water is not going anywhere. Clogged runs that sit too long can start to sag, and that is where structural damage begins. The fix is regular cleanings, which keep the water away from your home and the fascia. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will quote it and hold a date.

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.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April, and most of our customers book twice a year, in spring and fall. For the Woodlands TX, fall visits run December to early January, after the last leaves have come down.
In spring the gutter is usually full of seeds, seed casings and a pollen paste that sticks to the inside of the trough. In fall it is the leaf load, and with freeze risk here, the runs that were not cleared will show ice dams at the eave. Houses that skipped the fall visit are the ones where we find runs sagging or pulling loose by March. Heavy rainfall in June, September and October is the other stretch to watch, because the leaves and twig litter left in the trough hold rainwater in place, and a clog that starts there backs water up under the shingles.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is the schedule that works, because needles and grit pack the outlets between visits. A roofline with few or no trees does well with one visit a year in late fall, so clean your gutters then. Gutter guards help, and they still need the surface cleared off them now and then, which is part of routine gutter maintenance, usually less often than an open gutter. A quick blockage check in the middle of the year, with debris removal included, is a good idea for any lot with a lot of traffic or construction nearby.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs, and we put the estimate in writing so you know what the next visit will cost before it is booked.
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 cover homes across town from our crew base and clean residential properties, homes included. Our crew works lake side and forest side alike, and the homeowners we serve get the same photo report every time. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, tell us the stories and the rough square footage, and say whether trees hang over the house. We will give you a quote on the spot and put a date on the calendar that works for you. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work.
Slots for the Woodlands gutter cleaning fill in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so book early if you want a particular week. Outside those windows, slots open up more easily. Calls from the surrounding areas get the same answer: send a photo and we will tell you straight whether the job fits. If you need a visit soon, ask when we can come.
Our gutter services start with a phone call and a photo. Keep your gutters and downspouts clear so the water heads where it should. A clean gutter is how you protect your home from water damage, the kind that starts with a small leak at the fascia and works its way into the walls. Whether you are in a neighborhood near the lake or deeper in the woods, the crew works the same way and leaves the place the way it was found.
Our gutter service gives the number from stories and size, by phone or text, and the number covers the cleaning and maintenance visit. Send us a photo of the front of the house and tell us about any trees hanging over it, and we will quote it before anyone climbs a ladder.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April. Locally, fall visits run December to early January, and freeze risk is real here, so a gutter still full of leaves going into a freeze is how ice dams start at the eave. Heavy rainfall in June, September and October is the other stretch to watch, and houses that skipped the fall visit are the ones where we find sagging runs by March.
Most slots come up within the week. Call or text to get your gutters on the calendar, and we confirm the exact date once we have talked. If you need something sooner, ask us and we will tell you whether we can fit it in. When you compare cleaning services in The Woodlands, ask each one for the number up front; ours is the number on the invoice.
No. Our crew works outside across the woodlands, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and every drain outlet to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and park the cars away from your home.
Yes. We flush every downspout and flow-test it, and we check that water is leaving at the outlet, since standing water is what rots the fascia. If an underground drain line needs clearing, that is a separate job, and we quote it before anyone touches it.
Yes, usually less often than an open gutter, but they still need gutter maintenance. On our jobs in a leafy landscape we find needles and seed casings sitting on top of the guards and grit underneath, so the surface still needs clearing and the outlets still need flushing. The gutter cleaning process for guarded gutters means lifting the panels, clearing underneath and reseating them before the flush.
If a clean gutter still sheets water over the edge in heavy rainfall, that points to slope or drain capacity, not debris. Send us 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.
No. The number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear about it and agree to it before any work starts. Ask us on the phone whether a residential and commercial mix falls within our work, and we will say yes or no before you book.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
