Gutter Cleaning Cost: Prices & How Often to Clean

Typical gutter cleaning prices

For most homes in our area, professional gutter cleaning runs $150 to $325. A single-story home usually lands around $150 to $200, while a two-story home runs $225 to $325 depending on roof complexity, the linear footage of gutter, and how much debris has built up.

Larger homes, steep roofs, or gutters that haven't been touched in years sit at the higher end. As always, Applewood gives you a flat quote before any work starts.

What you should get for that price

Plenty of cut-rate services just dump the debris over the side of your house and leave. A proper cleaning should include:

• Every gutter section hand-cleaned, with debris bagged and hauled away, not dumped in your beds
• Every downspout flushed and confirmed flowing
• The exterior face of the gutters wiped or rinsed
• A quick visual check for loose hangers, leaks, or fascia damage

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Twice a year is the standard for most New England homes, once in late spring and once in late fall after the leaves drop. If you have heavy pine or hardwood cover, you may need quarterly visits. Homes with few overhanging trees can often get by with a single fall cleaning.

Why clogged gutters cost you more later

Overflowing gutters are one of the most expensive problems to ignore. Water that can't drain spills behind the gutter and rots your fascia and soffits, runs down your siding, pools at the foundation, and in winter forms ice dams that push water under your shingles.

A $200 cleaning is a lot cheaper than fascia repair or a wet basement.
