Our own crew cleans gutters in University Park, flushes every downspout, flow-tests the runs and hauls the debris off before we leave, so the yard is left clean. The price comes from stories, size and tree cover, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book our gutter services. Most customers here book in the spring and fall, and we send photos of every run to your phone.
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. Every homeowner gets asked the same three questions, so the quote is clear before anyone climbs a ladder. 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, but on our jobs the stories and the access matter more than the length. If you want to get your gutters priced, text us and we will walk you through our gutter cleaning process from start to a clean finish.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises the effective height of the roofline. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaf mat, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time. A twig jammed in an elbow or a leak at a loose seam gets reported to you before the crew goes further, not after. Downspout flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included in the price and never billed as extras. Anything that changes the job gets raised first, never on the invoice.
Homeowners here see the same pattern on our jobs. A house under heavy tree cover tends to quote higher, because the rain gutter fills with seeds and leaf mat, and the clogged downspout needs a full flush before the flow tests clean. A house with one story and no trees usually comes in lower, because the runs are open and the work is straightforward. In both cases the quote is set by a phone call and the invoice matches it.
If you want a number for cleaning and maintenance, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and whether trees hang over the roof. We will give you the price on the phone, and it will not change once the crew is up top unless you ask us to add something.

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 customers here book two cleanings a year, once in spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in fall after the last leaves. Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April. Our fall visits in University Park, TX run late November to December. On our jobs the spring visit finds seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows, and a clog there is the first thing the crew clears to keep the runs clean. The fall visit finds the wet leaf mat, and in our freeze months we see the first ice and the ice dams at the eave. On houses that skipped the fall visit, the runs that sag or pull loose tend to show up by March, and the fascia begins to rot behind them.
Under heavy tree cover, regular gutter cleaning every three to four months is the schedule we see working, because needles and grit pack the downspout between visits. Near a busy road or a construction site the same schedule applies, and commercial properties are on it too. On a lot with a sparse landscape and few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough to clean your gutters and keep drainage moving. Guards need less frequent gutter maintenance, but the surface still has to be kept clean, because the buildup on top of a guard turns into a paste that stops the water from getting in.
Every house here has the same kind of gutter system, but the load is not. Leaves and debris build up in different amounts depending on the lot, and the clogged downspouts tell us which schedule a house needs. Homes here get about 41.4 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are May, June and October, when heavy rainfall tests every run. Clean runs carry water away from the foundation, but a full gutter can cause structural damage to the fascia and rafters. After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs.
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 in every part of the service area, and we work from the nearest base without needing a crew stationed in town. We offer cleaning services in University Park for residential and commercial work, and we cover the surrounding areas too. Residential properties and commercial properties get the same full flush and photo check, and University Park homes get the same gutter cleaning service. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, give us the stories and whether trees hang over the roof, and we quote the price on the spot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, one in spring and one in fall, so book early for those dates. Outside those windows slots open up faster. The lead time we give depends on the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Once the date is set, the crew arrives in the window we give you. Gutters and downspouts are checked from the top to the outlet on every visit, so the water flow stays clear all the way through. Gutter services are booked the same way for every house we visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because a two-story house with trees hanging over it can run quite differently from one with an open roofline.
Across Texas, spring visits run late March to April. Our fall visits run late November to December, after the leaves come down. Most customers here book one spring visit after the seed and pollen drop, and one fall visit before the freeze. If you wait past the fall visit, the wet leaf mat turns into a blockage, and rainwater backs up into the runs before freezing weather arrives.
Most slots come up within the week, and we confirm a date when you call. We do not promise same-day service because the calendar depends on the week and the crew's route.
No. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and carries everything it clears away from your home. Photos of every run and downspout reach your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush every downspout and check that the water runs clean at the outlet. Gutters and downspouts get the same check on every visit. If a run drains into an underground line that is not flowing, we tell you and quote clearing it separately.
Yes. Regular gutter cleaning keeps rainwater moving, and that helps protect your home from water damage. On our jobs guards keep the leaves out, but needles, seed casings and grit sit on top and turn into a mat that can start a clog and stop water from getting in. We lift the panels, clean the surface and reseat them.
A gutter that is clean and still overflows along the roofline has a slope or downspout-size problem, not a debris problem. 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.
It should not. We quote from stories, size and tree cover, and anything that changes the job is raised before work starts, never on the invoice. If we find something new, you hear it and agree before we continue. The goal is to keep your gutters clear and your bill predictable.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
