Gutter Cleaning Cost Calculator

See a real price range for your home's height, adjusted for your state, built from national gutter cleaning pricing data — not a single generic average.

Last reviewed September 2026 · How we calculate estimates

Gutter cleaning is priced by linear foot, and the biggest driver of that per-foot rate is how tall your home is — more height means more ladder work, more safety gear, and slower, more careful labor. Pick your home's height and state below to see a realistic range.

Why does home height matter so much?

A single-story home lets a crew work quickly off a standard ladder with minimal safety setup. Two- and three-story homes require taller ladders, additional safety equipment, and slower, more deliberate work — all of which adds labor time and, on the tallest homes, sometimes requires a second person on the crew for safety. That's why the per-foot rate roughly doubles from single-story to three-story, even though the actual cleaning task is the same.

What affects gutter cleaning pricing the most?

Twice a year is the standard cadence. Most homes do well with a spring and a late-fall cleaning. Homes with lots of overhanging trees may need a third visit in between to avoid overflow and water damage to fascia boards.

Worked example: a two-story home in Georgia

For a typical two-story house, the national range is $180 to $360 per cleaning. Selecting Georgia (about 3.7% below the national price level) gives roughly $173 to $347. Homes with overhanging trees usually need cleaning in both late spring and late fall, so the yearly budget is about $347 to $693.

A single-story ranch in the same area with no trees nearby might need only one cleaning a year at the low end of its range. How many times a year you need service often matters more than the per-visit price.

How this estimate is calculated

Each home height uses a published per-cleaning range for a typical home, based on per-linear-foot rates of roughly $0.95 to $2.25 depending on height. Choosing a state multiplies both ends by that state's Regional Price Parity from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Very long rooflines, steep roofs or heavy clogs will push the price toward or above the top of the range. See our methodology.

Frequently asked questions

How much does gutter cleaning cost?

The average gutter cleaning cost is $168, with most homeowners spending between $119 and $234 for a single-story home. Two-story homes typically run $180 to $360, and three-story homes run $210 to $450, since more height and more gutter length both add labor time.

How much does gutter cleaning cost per linear foot?

Gutter cleaning typically costs $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot, with single-story homes at the low end ($0.95-$1.25) and taller homes at the higher end ($1.25-$2.25) due to added labor and equipment needs.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Most homes benefit from gutter cleaning twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall after leaves drop. Homes surrounded by many trees may need quarterly cleaning to prevent clogs and overflow.

Does gutter cleaning cost vary by state?

Yes. Labor costs vary by region. This calculator lets you select your state to apply a general regional cost-of-living adjustment based on U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data, though it is not a substitute for a local quote.
