What's usually included

  • Leaves and debris removed by hand and bagged
  • Gutters rinsed to check flow
  • Downspouts flushed when included
  • Debris cleaned up from the roof edge and ground
  • Loose hangers or leaks pointed out

What changes the price

  • Length. More feet of gutter means more time on the ladder.
  • How full they are. Gutters skipped for a few years can be packed with heavy, wet debris.
  • Gutter guards. Guards must be lifted or removed to clean underneath.
  • Roof pitch. Some pros work from the roof, and steep roofs slow them down.

Do it yourself or hire a pro?

Many homeowners clean one-story gutters themselves with a sturdy ladder, gloves, a scoop and a hose. Keep the ladder on firm, level ground and do not lean out to reach. If you have a bad back, poor balance or no helper to steady the ladder, hiring a pro is a small cost.
