Our own crew handles every clean from start to finish: gutters cleared, every run flushed and flow-tested, debris hauled off, and photos of each run before we leave. The price comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and how much tree cover hangs over it, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Texas, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills first. For a quote on your house, call (866) 435-6328.
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, whether that is light leaves and debris or a years-old buildup. We quote it over the phone or by text from those three things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Other gutter cleaning services price by the linear foot and land in a similar place, though that per-foot method is the other way some firms add up the same job. Commercial properties with long runs of gutter get the same three-number quote.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds once it is up the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A walk-out basement or a sloped lot raises how high the crew has to reach. Gutters nobody has opened in years come down packed with compacted leaf mat, and that is a longer visit. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time as well. Flushing, flow testing and debris removal are included and never billed as extras, because the whole point is to carry water away from your home. If anything changes the job, you hear it before work starts, never on the invoice.
On Watauga homes with heavy tree cover we see the same pattern, where gutters sit under leaves and grit from spring through fall, and clogged downspouts are where the blockage starts. Drainage and water flow are the first things we check, and one clog at a bend is enough to back water up the whole run. A rain gutter that still shows sag after it is clean gets photographed and reported, not sold a second visit. Left running with that sag, the water can soak the fascia and lead to structural damage. Ask for a written estimate with the three numbers and we will give you one by text.
| 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 customers here book in spring and fall, twice a year, after seed and pollen drop in spring and the last leaves in fall. Our wettest months are May, June and October, so the runs are already under load when those rains arrive. Get the job done before that rain: clean your gutters, and a regular gutter cleaning service keeps the runs moving. When we open a gutter here in May we find seeds packed into the elbows and pollen paste sitting on the rainwater runs. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that sagged under the first freeze. Across Texas, spring visits usually land in late March to April, and here in Watauga the fall visit usually lands in late November to December.
Under heavy tree cover, and anywhere needles or grit drop onto the gutters, every three to four months is the rhythm we see, because needles and grit pack the runs between visits and a single clog builds fast. For residential properties with few or no trees on the roofline, one visit a year in late fall usually keeps things clean. Jobs for residential and commercial buildings follow the same logic, and debris removal is included on both. Guarded gutters need less frequent visits, but the surface still has to be cleared, because what sits on top of the guard is where the blockage starts.
After the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. A gutter system that stays clean is cheaper to keep than repairing water damage, and the estimate on your first visit covers that schedule. Book the spring and fall dates now if you want the slot you are used to.
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 does Watauga gutter cleaning in the neighborhoods here and covers the rest of the city from our nearest base. Each homeowner gets the quote first, and hears the number before the crew sets a ladder. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text from stories, size and tree cover, plus a photo of the house front if that is easy to send. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the visit.
Every one of our cleanings covers the whole system: the gutters and downspouts are cleared, we flush every downspout until it runs clear, and any twig or seed debris is bagged and hauled off. Houses with gutter guards are included too; the guards come up, the mat underneath comes out, and they go back down. The calendar fills in two busy windows, spring and late fall, when most customers book their cleaning. If you want a date in those windows, call (866) 435-6328 early to get your gutters on the calendar. Outside of those windows the lead time is shorter, and we confirm the date with you when you book. Whatever the time of year, the aim is to keep your gutters working and clean, and to protect your home from water damage and any leak before the next storm.
We clean residential and commercial properties in the surrounding areas, and we run gutter services for homeowners and property managers alike. Ask us about the cleaning and maintenance schedule that fits your house.
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 put a figure in writing here, because a two-story house with heavy tree cover, or a landscape that drops needles onto the gutters, is a different job from one with none.
Across Texas, spring visits land in late March to April, and here the fall visit usually lands in late November to December. Waiting past the first freeze, or past the heavy rainfall in May and June, lets the leaf mat settle and water back up behind the runs. A cleaning and maintenance schedule catches it before the freeze.
Most slots come up within the week across Watauga, and we confirm a date when you call. Our cleaning services in Watauga run on the same calendar, so if you need something sooner, ask and we will tell you what the crew has open.
No, you do not need to be home. Our gutter cleaning process runs outside only, the crew does not come inside, and photos of every run and drain go to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Yes, we flush each run until the water runs clear at the outlet. If a line runs underground and the water is not getting out, we tell you what we see, and clearing a buried line is quoted separately before anyone touches it.
Yes. On our jobs, guards keep the leaves out, but the needles, seed casings and grit settle on top, and once that mat is wet the water runs over the front edge and can rot the fascia behind it. We lift the panels, clean underneath, and reseat them, because the whole gutter system needs checking, not only the top of the guard. That is still gutter maintenance, not a one-time job.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge in rain has a slope or capacity problem, not a cleaning problem, and the repair is one that moves the water away from your home. Left alone, that water can cause structural damage. Send us 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. If the crew finds something that changes the job, you hear it and agree to it before they start, never after. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice, so you can get your gutters booked at the figure you were quoted.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
