Gutter Cleaning Pricing
What Does Gutter Cleaning Cost?
Gutter cleaning is priced by the foot, starting at $2 per linear foot of gutter, so you only pay for the size of your home. We look at your gutters first and confirm your exact price and what your cleaning covers before any work begins.
Add Gutter Guards
Gutter guards keep most leaves and seeds out, so you need fewer cleanings. They can be added to gutters that are still in good shape: Gutter RX screens start at $21/ft and reverse curve guards at $28/ft for 5" gutters.
Timing
How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
In Nebraska and Iowa, plan on at least two cleanings a year. Homes under oaks, maples or cottonwoods often need three or four.
-
Recommended
Late Spring: After the Seed Drop
Maple helicopters, cottonwood fluff and pollen mats clog gutters right before summer storms.
-
Summer: After Big Storms
Hail and high winds knock loose shingle granules and branches into the trough.
-
Recommended
Late Fall: After Leaves Drop
The most important cleaning of the year. Clear the leaves before gutters freeze solid.
-
Early Winter: Before the Hard Freeze
Clogged gutters hold ice, which leads to ice dams, sagging gutters and leaks.
Don't Wait for a Leak
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning
If you can see any of these from the yard, your gutters are already backing up. A cleaning now costs far less than fascia, siding or basement repairs later.
-
Water spilling over the edge
Rain sheets over the front of the gutter instead of running to the downspout.
-
Plants or seedlings in the gutter
Enough debris has built up to grow in.
-
Downspouts barely trickling
A clog is sitting in the elbow or the drop.
-
Gutters sagging or pulling away
Wet debris is heavy. Left alone, it bends hangers and loosens fascia.
-
Stains, peeling paint or mildew
Overflow is soaking siding and trim below the gutter line.
-
Water in the basement or washed-out beds
Water is landing at the foundation instead of moving away from it.
Cleaning or Guards?
Gutter Cleaning vs. Gutter Guards
A cleaning gets water flowing today. Gutter guards cut down on how often you need one.
| Compare | Gutter Cleaning | Gutter Guards |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $199 per cleaning | From $21 per foot, installed once |
| What it does | Clears what's in the gutter now and restores flow | Keeps most leaves and debris out going forward |
| Upkeep | Repeat at least twice a year | Occasional rinse or check |
| Best for | Open lots, occasional clogs, gutters you'll replace soon | Homes under mature trees that clog every season |
Paying for more than two cleanings a year? That's usually the point where guards are worth pricing.
