Our own crew cleans your gutters, checks the flow on each run, hauls the waste away and sends photos of every run before we leave. The price comes from your stories, your square footage and the tree cover over the house, 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 we run those visits the same way.
Quoted from stories, size and tree cover, over the phone, with nothing added once the crew is on the roof.
The price on gutter cleaning services depends on how many stories the house has, its square footage and what is sitting in the gutters. 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 per linear foot land in a similar place, but on our jobs the height and the access matter more than the length.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a steep pitch we cannot walk, a walk-out basement or sloped lot that puts the back run higher than it looks, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with leaves and debris, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clean the trough. Flushing, flow testing and haul-off are included and are never billed as extras. If something changes the job once the crew is working on the house, you hear it and agree to it before work starts, never on the invoice.
Wylie homeowners with the most work tend to be the ones where a clog has already started to do damage. We find gutters with a sag in the run after a summer of wet leaves, clogged downspouts that have stopped passing any water flow, and buildup that has sent water back behind the fascia instead of away from the house. Those runs take longer to clear and to flush, and that time shows up in the quote before we start, because the drainage has to be checked end to end. A clean gutter on a short house is the simplest job we do; a packed gutter on a three-story house is where the price tracks the work.
Commercial properties are quoted per building, on the same three things and the access they need. The rain gutter on a flat-roof building behaves differently from a pitched house, even when it looks clean from the ground, so the same number on a sheet does not mean the same job. A backup left there long enough can lead to structural damage and rot at the fascia and eave, and we say so on the estimate before we start.
| 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 book twice a year, in spring and fall, so here is how often to clean your gutters and why the timing matters. Across Texas the spring visit falls late March to April, and in Wylie TX the fall visit usually lands late November to December, after the last leaves come down. In spring we find seeds, seed casings and pollen paste packed into the elbows at the bottom of the runs. In fall it is the wet leaf mat and, on houses that skipped the fall visit, the runs that have pulled loose by the next season.
Rain averages about 39.8 inches a year around here, and May, June and October are the wettest months, which is when heavy rainfall finds any blockage. Residential properties under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roofline, can see a stoppage form between visits, because grit and needles pack the outlets faster than the seasons turn. A single twig can start it. Those houses need regular gutter cleaning every three to four months, since the rainwater has to go somewhere. With few or no trees and a simple landscape, a once-a-year late fall visit is enough for most lots. Near a busy road or active construction the grit load is higher, and that lot moves up a tier, with debris removal on each visit.
Gutter guards cut the work, but they do not end it. On a guarded gutter system we still clean what sits on top and check that water is getting in, and those visits come less often than on an open gutter. We run residential and commercial jobs on the same tiers. Before we book the first visit, we walk the roofline and the run with you by phone or text, and after the first visit we tell you which tier your lot actually needs. Ask for a written estimate, and book a date with the crew when the calendar opens.
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 covers Wylie and the surrounding areas from the nearest base, and the neighborhoods we have worked in are the ones where a homeowner called us after a buildup or a leak showed up. A Wylie gutter cleaning visit starts with a quote by phone or text from your stories, your size and the tree cover over the house, plus a photo of the front if that is easy to send. Our gutter services cover the whole run, flushing and flow checks included. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the work.
The calendar fills in two busy windows, the spring and fall visits, when the seed drop and the leaf drop hit the same houses. If you want to keep your gutters clean through the season, book outside those windows, because two cleanings a year, spaced apart, keep your gutters and downspouts from packing up at the same time. Lead time depends on the week and is confirmed when you call. A homeowner who waits until the first big storm usually ends up on a later date than the one they wanted.
If your gutters are overflowing now, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us what you see. We will tell you whether it is a clog that our crew can clean out, which is most of the time, or a slope or drainage problem that needs a different conversation. Clearing the blockage keeps the water away from your home and helps protect your home from water damage before the next rain.
The number comes from the stories, the square footage and what is in the gutters, and we give it to you on the phone or by text. Get your gutters priced that way before any crew is booked, because we do not quote a range without those three things in front of us. The quote is the invoice.
Most homeowners book spring and fall, after the seed drop and the leaf drop. Across Texas the spring visit falls late March to April, and the fall visit in Wylie usually lands late November to December. If you wait past those, the clog has usually had time to pack the gutters. Text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit comes first.
Most slots for our cleaning services in Wylie open up within the week, and we confirm the date when you call. Across Wylie we do not promise same-day work, because the crew is booked a few days out during the busy windows.
No. The gutter cleaning process happens outside only: the crew does not come inside, and sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves. Leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and the crew leaves the yard as clean as they found it.
Yes, we flush every downspout and watch the water until it runs clear at the bottom. Where a run drains into an underground line, we check that water leaves at the outlet and tell you if it does not. Clearing a buried line is a separate job and is quoted before anyone starts.
Yes, less often. A guarded gutter system still collects needles and seed casings on top, and once they mat down the water runs off the front edge. Guards still need gutter maintenance, so we treat them as cleaning and maintenance work: we lift the panels, clean what is underneath and reseat them.
A clean gutter that still sheets water over the edge during heavy rainfall has a slope or capacity problem, not a clog problem. Send us a photo or 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.
It should not. If we find something that changes the job, you hear it before work starts and agree to it first. Call (866) 435-6328 before you book and we will confirm the number. The balance is charged when the job is finished and the photos are on your phone.
Stories, size and a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
