Gutter cleaning cost by home size
Linear feet and stories drive the visit. Here are 2026 national ranges from our cost model.
| Scope | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Apartment / small home | $125–$175 |
| Average home | $175–$275 |
| Large home | $275–$400 |
How often
Twice a year, spring and fall, for most homes, and more often under pines and maples. Skipping it is how you buy fascia rot, foundation water, and ice dams that cost far more than the cleaning.
DIY versus a ladder
Single-story with a sturdy ladder is DIY-able. Two-story and steep roofs are a real fall risk. A pro has the footing and can flag repairs before they become water damage. New gutters and guards are a different, larger job, see the gutter installation guide.
