What the calculator estimates
It turns your linear feet, house height, debris level, downspouts, guard cleaning, and labor into a planning cost. Single-story homes are cheapest, two-story cost more for ladder work, and heavy debris or severe clogs raise the price sharply.
How gutter cleaning is priced
Most pros charge by the linear foot, with a height surcharge for two and three-story homes. Debris level, steep roof pitch, downspout flushing, guard removal and cleaning, bagging, and inspection add to the base. Season and region move the per-foot rate too.
Planning note
Cleaning pricing changes with house height, roof pitch, gutter condition, debris type, guard type, and local labor. Confirm footage, access, and final quote with your service before scheduling, especially for steep roofs or heavy clogs.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
Gutter cleaning averages about 0.70 to 1.50 dollars per linear foot for a single-story home. A typical 150 to 200 foot single-story gutter system runs about 150 to 250 dollars. Two-story homes add a height surcharge and run about 250 to 450 dollars, while heavy debris or severe clogs can push the total over 500 dollars. This calculator lets you set the per-foot rate for any quote.
How much does gutter cleaning cost per linear foot?
Single-story gutters run about 0.70 to 1.50 dollars per linear foot. Two-story runs about 1.20 to 2.50 dollars per foot because of the ladder work, and three-story is higher still. Heavy debris, steep roofs, and severe clogs raise the per-foot rate. Set the base price in this calculator to match your local market.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Most homes need gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Homes under heavy tree cover may need quarterly cleaning. Pick the service type in this calculator to see recurring pricing. Regular cleaning prevents clogs, overflow, and water damage.
Does gutter guard cleaning add cost?
Yes. Guards must be lifted or removed, cleaned, and reinstalled, which adds a per-linear-foot charge. Screen lifts are cheapest, micro-mesh takes longer, and reverse-curve systems cost the most. Use the guard cleaning option to add that line.
Is downspout flushing included?
Basic clearing is usually included, but a full downspout flush with water to clear a blockage is often an add-on per downspout. Count your downspouts and use the flush option if your system is slow or backed up.
Is this a contractor quote?
No. It is a planning estimate. House height, roof pitch, debris type, guard type, gutter condition, season, taxes, and labor vary by provider, region, and site conditions.
