How often do Austin gutters need cleaning?

Twice a year for most homes, once after spring oak pollen and catkins, once after fall leaf drop. Homes shaded by heavy oak, pecan, or cedar canopy (Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Barton Hills, Westlake) usually need quarterly service.

What does gutter cleaning cost in Austin?

One-off cleaning runs $150–$325 depending on single- vs two-story and linear feet. Included at no per-visit cost with Well Kept Home Standard and Premium membership. Full breakdown in the cost table above.

Why can't I just leave the leaves in there?

Standing water in clogged gutters overflows against the fascia (wood rot), spills onto the foundation (Central Texas clay expands and cracks slabs), and breeds mosquitoes. It's the highest-ROI $200 you'll spend on the house.

Do gutter guards mean I never need cleaning?

No. Guards reduce frequency but don't eliminate it, Austin oak pollen and shingle grit still build up on top of the guard and inside the trough. Plan on annual service even with guards.

Do you clean gutters in the rain or after a storm?

We schedule around Central Texas weather. Post-storm cleanings are common, we prioritize members after major rain events so downspouts drain before the next front.

Do you charge extra for two-story homes or steep roofs?

Two-story homes fall into a higher band ($225–$325) because of the ladder work and safety equipment. Very steep or tile roofs may add a small access fee, we quote it up front, never after.

Will you replace or reattach loose gutters while you're up there?

Small fixes (re-securing a hanger, reseating a downspout, adding a splash block) are handled the same visit. Larger repairs or full re-hangs are quoted separately, see our Gutter Repair service.
