Gutters have one job: move rainwater off your roof and away from your house. When they fill with leaves, pine needles, shingle grit, and the sludge that comes with them, that water stops moving. It backs up under the roof edge, spills down the side of the house, and pools against the foundation. The gutter looks fine from the ground right up until it causes a problem you can see from inside.
The Neighbor's clears gutters and downspouts for homes across Madison and Rankin Counties, including Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood, and the greater Jackson metro. We get the water running where it belongs, we flag any damage we see, and we do it without you having to get on a ladder. Request a free quote and hear back within one business day.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
Gutter cleaning is priced by the size of your home and the length of gutter you have, not by the hour. A single-story ranch with a simple roofline costs less than a large two-story home with a lot of linear footage and steep sections. Heavy debris from a long-neglected gutter can add to the first visit, because it is more to clear and haul, but a home on a recurring schedule never gets to that point.
We give you the full price before any work starts, and there are no surprise add-ons on the invoice. Homes on a recurring plan pay a reduced rate on every visit. For an exact figure, request a free quote and we will price your home and tell you the one-time rate and the plan rate side by side. Our guide to what gutter cleaning costs covers what moves the price and why clearing them is cheaper than the damage.
How often should you clean your gutters?
Twice a year is right for most Jackson-area homes, once in spring and once in fall. Spring clears out what winter left behind ahead of the summer storms. Fall clears the leaves before the wet season sets in. Homes under heavy tree cover, especially pine or oak, fill fastest and do better more often.
- Most homes: twice a year, spring and fall
- Heavy tree cover, especially pine or oak: more often, since they fill fastest
- After major storms: check and clear once debris has had a chance to wash in
Why gutters matter so much around Jackson
Mississippi is one of the wettest states in the country, with well over 50 inches of rain in a typical year. Pair that much water with the heavy tree cover across the metro, the pine needles, the oak leaves, the spring pollen, and gutters here fill faster and matter more than they do almost anywhere. When a hard Mississippi rain hits a clogged gutter, the water has nowhere to go but the wrong places.
What clogged gutters actually cost you
A clog is cheap to clear and expensive to ignore. Left full, gutters can:
- Send water over the edge and down against the foundation, where it pools and works toward cracks and settling
- Back up under the roof edge and rot fascia boards and roof decking, often unnoticed until it is severe
- Get heavy enough with wet debris to sag and pull away from the house
- Turn into standing water that draws mosquitoes, rodents, and nesting birds
- Stain siding and leave water marks down the exterior
The roof, fascia, siding, and foundation are all far costlier to repair than a gutter is to clean. That is the whole case for keeping them clear.
Signs your gutters need cleaning
You do not always have to climb up to know. Watch for water spilling over the edge during a rain instead of running to the downspouts, streaks or stains on the siding below the gutter line, plants or seedlings sprouting from the gutter, sagging sections, or birds and pests working around the roofline. Any one of those means it is time.
What we do, and what we do not
We clear leaves, needles, grit, and debris from the gutters and downspouts, flush them so water runs free, and flag any damage we find along the way. Clearing the gutters is also a look at their condition, so loose sections and early sagging get spotted before they fail.
We are honest about scope. We do not perform structural gutter repair or replacement, so if a section is failing we will tell you straight what we see and let you handle the repair. You will always know exactly what we did and what we found.
Why homeowners put gutters on a plan
Putting gutter cleaning on a set schedule is the cheapest insurance you can buy against water damage.
- Protects the expensive parts of your home. Roof, fascia, siding, and foundation all cost far more to repair than a gutter does to clean. Routine clearing keeps water away from all of them.
- Catches problems early. Each visit is also an inspection, so small issues get spotted before they turn into failures.
- Keeps pests out. A clean, dry gutter is not the nesting site a clogged one becomes.
- No ladder, no risk. Gutter cleaning means height and footing, which is where home accidents happen. We bring the equipment and take on the risk.
- One less thing to remember. A standing schedule means it is handled before the season turns, not after the damage shows.
While we are already there
Most gutter customers have us take care of a few other things on the same visit, since the truck and the team are already on the property. We also clean windows, wash siding, clean driveways and concrete, clean fences and decks, and wash roofs. Clearing the gutters and washing the roof on the same trip is a natural pairing, since both deal with what the trees drop. Ask about adding services when you get your quote.
