Price the run, respect the ladder
Gutter money is made per foot, but lost on height and neglect. Measure the run — walk the perimeter or trace it on a satellite map — set a per-foot rate that covers your time and disposal, then multiply for stories and for gutters that have not been touched in years. Bill downspout clogs and guard work as their own lines, and hold a minimum so the little ranch on the corner still pays for the trip.
Questions
- How much should I charge to clean gutters?
- Most pros land around $0.80–$1.50 per linear foot on a single-story home, so a typical 160-foot run comes to about $130–$240 per visit. Two-story work runs roughly $1.50–$2.50 per foot because everything is slower off a tall ladder. Hold a job minimum (often $100–$150) so a small house still covers the drive and setup.
- Should two-story gutter cleaning cost more?
- Yes — meaningfully more. Taller ladders mean more repositioning, slower moves, and more risk, so most pros price two-story work 50–100% above single-story. Price the height honestly instead of eating it; that is what the story multiplier in this calculator does.
- What about downspouts and gutter guards?
- Bill them as their own lines. Flushing clogged downspouts commonly adds $50–$100 to a visit, and gutter guard installation is separate work entirely — typically $6–$13 per linear foot installed depending on the guard type. Cleaning under existing guards also takes longer, so quote it up.
