Gutter cleaning services FAQs
Gutter cleaning costs about $170 on average, ranging from about $75 to $400. Cost factors include the type, length, and height of your gutters. A multiple-story home with gutters high off the ground and accessible only by ladder or working on a steep roof will cost more than a single-story house with a relatively flat roof.
Yes, it’s okay to use a pressure washer to clear and clean your gutters. Be careful to avoid the outside of the gutters, as getting too close with the powerwasher can peel away the paint. Also, be careful to avoid causing any damage to seams that may be in the corners or along the length of the gutter.
Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, to remove the debris from trees that can clog the eavestroughs and downspouts. Debris like leaves, twigs, and seed pods can build up and cause your gutters to overflow, potentially causing damage to your roof and foundation. Water backing up under the shingles can rot the edge of your roofline. Overflow water falling next to your foundation can end up leaking into your basement or crawl space.
Yes, gutter cleaning methods without using a ladder are available, including:
A curved wand attachment for your hose
Gutter tongs on an extension pole
A leaf blower gutter cleaning kit
Vacuum designed for cleaning gutters
Just be sure that your downspouts are connected and can direct water away from the house if you’re using a water-powered method. This will keep the water from dumping next to the house.
You can clean the gutters on a two-story house using gutter tongs on an extension pole. However, cleaning second-story gutters from a ladder or the roof is very dangerous and should be done by a professional.
