How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost? Real 2026 Pricing

With us, gutter cleaning starts at $299 and typically runs $299–$449 depending on the package — Standard Cleaning, Cleaning + Roof Blow, or Full Detail. The exact number comes down to three things: how many stories your home has, how much gutter you've got, and how long it's been since the last cleaning. Here's the full breakdown, plus what actually moves the price.

How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost on Average?

Here's what we charge for gutter cleaning, by package:

Nationally, gutter cleaning runs anywhere from about $75 for a light single-story touch-up to $600+ for a heavily-clogged three-story home — a huge range, because it covers everyone from bargain single-visit outfits to full-service crews. Our pricing sits solidly in the professional, fully-insured range: real work, real equipment, real accountability if something's missed.

What Affects the Price of Gutter Cleaning?

Four factors drive most of the price difference between jobs: how many stories your home has, how much gutter needs clearing, how long it's been since the last cleaning, and any add-on work you request.

• Number of stories. Second- and third-story gutters need taller ladders, harnesses, and more insurance liability — that's reflected directly in the rate.
• Gutter length. Pricing runs per linear foot, so a long single-story home can cost more than a compact two-story one simply because there's more to clear.
• Time since last cleaning. Wet, compacted debris takes longer to clear. Expect 10–50% more if it's been over a year.
• Add-ons. Downspout flushing (+$50–$100), debris haul-away (+$25–$75), and minor repairs (+$100–$300) are usually priced separately.

DIY or Hire a Professional?

For a single-story home with easy ground access, DIY is a reasonable way to save money. Past that, the math changes fast once you weigh in your own time, ladder-fall risk, and the odds of missing a clog that leads to water damage.

What Are the Signs You're Overdue for a Cleaning?

Water spilling over the gutter edge during rain, plants growing out of the gutter, sagging sections pulling away from the fascia, siding stains below the gutter line, or standing water near the foundation after rain — any of these mean it's time to get ahead of it before the next storm.

How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?

Twice a year — late spring and early fall — covers most homes. Under heavy oak, maple, or evergreen cover, plan on three to four times a year. Gutter guards can stretch that to about once a year, though they still deserve an occasional check for fine debris.

How Can You Save Money on Gutter Cleaning?

Staying on a regular schedule is the single biggest lever — skipping a cleaning is the fastest way to turn a $150 job into a $400 one. Beyond that: bundle it with window or roof cleaning, and ask about recurring-service pricing. We offer 10% off twice-a-year service plans and 35% off quarterly plans, with priority scheduling for recurring clients.

What Does This Look Like in Snohomish County?

This is what we actually charge across the towns we serve — from Everett to Snohomish to Bellevue: $299 to start, $449 for the full package. If your roof also needs moss cleared, that debris runs straight down into your gutters anyway, so we usually price roof cleaning (starting at $450) as a combined visit rather than two separate trips. The most accurate way to know your number is a free estimate. I'll give you a firm price before anything starts, no surprise line items after — see the full breakdown of what's included on our gutter cleaning service page, or check every town we cover on the service areas page.
