What affects the price
Height & access
The single biggest driver. Two- and three-story homes need taller ladders, more setup and more safety gear, so they cost noticeably more.
Linear feet of gutter
Longer roofs and more downspouts mean more to clear and flush, so bigger homes cost more regardless of height.
Condition & debris
Heavy leaf load, compacted debris or clogged downspouts take longer, and overhanging trees mean it needs doing more often.

How much does gutter cleaning cost?
Typically $150–$400 — about $120–$225 for a single-story home and $200–$400 for a two-story. Larger or three-story homes cost more.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes — spring and fall — or more often if you have overhanging trees dropping leaves and needles.
Are gutter guards worth it?
They cut how often gutters need clearing but do not eliminate it. Expect $5–$10 per linear foot installed, on top of a clean.
