Gutters are designed to facilitate rainwater flowing from your roof to the ground. They are meant to keep your roof in good shape, but they also tend to hold anything else that blows in the way of your roof. This might include leaves, tree branches, dirt, or even roofing material.
These can eventually become hazardous, risking the chance of a fire. This means that your rain gutters need to be cleaned, but it can be a dangerous process. This is where we come in.

High-Quality Tools
Cleaning gutters seems like a simple task, but it requires specific attention to ensure it is done properly while keeping your gutters in good shape. We begin by accessing the gutter through your roof or a ladder. We use only the best professional tools to clean out your gutters such as:
- Gutter scoops: Helps to pull out all of the debris stuck in your gutters
- Sturdy ladders: This tool is essential to hold our workers steadily on your roof.
- Padding: In order to keep your home looking nice we use padding to avoid scratching the paint off your gutters.
- Leaf blowers: By using a blower with a lot of strength we are able to blow out all of the small pieces. This will allow your gutters to be fully cleaned out rather than leave debris behind.
- Downspout snake: In order to remove clogged downspouts we can run a plumber’s snake from the top to ensure proper drainage.

Why Should I Have My Gutters Cleaned?
You want your gutters to be clean so they drain properly. Clogged gutters can cause an overflow of water. This can lead to damaging the foundation of the home and can even flow into your basement. Ground settling is a primary concern in Central Texas. Making sure you divert water away from the foundation helps to keep it level.
Clogged gutters can also pose a weight strain on your roof and the fascia (the boards behind the gutters). If the gutters are too full, they may end up collapsing off of your roof. This is extremely dangerous, and can even cause damage to the shingles on the roof and the exterior of your home.
The cost of gutter cleaning is far less than the cost of roof or foundation repair. This means that rather than put off gutter cleaning, simply follow through with routine gutter maintenance, and avoid high costs in the long run.
How Often Should I Clean My Gutters?
You should make a point of cleaning your gutters twice per year, but at least once each leave fall season to clear the leaves. This helps to avoid storing too much water in your gutters, which can then freeze in the winter.
If you allow your gutters to be full of debris and freeze then it can cause your gutters to sink, break off, and cause major damage to your home. To avoid these serious home issues you can simply plan to have your gutters cleaned twice annually, and avoid expensive repair costs.
How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost?
Typically gutter cleaning estimates will range from $195 to $350. A general thought for a pricing estimate is $1 per foot. Despite this, your home gutter cleaning will depend on a variety of factors:
- Height of gutters,
- Tree coverage,
- Whether there are gutter screens,
- Length of gutters to be cleaned,
- Stated clogs in downspouts,
- Level of debris in gutters
