How this calculator works

Rates checked Oct 2026. Gutter cleaning pros charge $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot according to Angi's 2026 national data, and most homes have 125 to 200 linear feet of gutter. House height is the biggest driver: a one-story ranch and a two-story colonial with the same footage take very different equipment. This gutter cleaning cost calculator prices your footage by stories, with a 15 percent surcharge for steep roofs and a 30 percent condition factor for neglected gutters — the same math operators use to build a quote you can defend.

Formula

Estimated cost = linear feet × rate per foot by stories × steep-roof factor (1.15) × condition factor (1.3 neglected). Rates are editable national ranges checked October 2026.

Worked example

A two-story home with 150 linear feet of gutter at the default $1.00 to $1.85 per foot comes to $150.00 to $277.50 by the foot. Professional project averages for a two-story home run $180 to $360 according to Angi, because minimums and access add to the per-foot math.

Common mistakes

  • Guessing your gutter footage. The total is the perimeter of your roofline — measure each gutter run or use 125 to 200 feet as the typical home range this calculator starts from.
  • Pricing two-story gutters at the one-story rate. Height adds 30 to 50 percent because of ladder work, which is why the calculator prices by stories.
  • Ignoring condition. Neglected gutters with heavy buildup run 10 to 50 percent more since debris has to be hand-cleaned instead of flushed.
  • Forgetting downspouts and guards. Flushing downspouts and cleaning gutters with guards installed are common add-ons that change the quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much does gutter cleaning cost?

Angi's 2026 national rates: $0.95 to $1.25 per linear foot for one-story homes (typical project $145 to $250), $1.00 to $1.85 for two-story ($180 to $360), and $1.25 to $2.25 for three-story ($210 to $450). Enter your footage and stories above for your range.

Is gutter cleaning priced per linear foot or as a flat rate?

Both exist. Most contractors build the quote from per-linear-foot pricing based on story height, then present a flat project price. The two should roughly agree: per-foot math gives $150 to $277.50 for a typical two-story job, while flat-rate averages for two-story projects run $180 to $360.

How many linear feet of gutter does a house have?

Most American homes have 125 to 200 linear feet of gutter, roughly the perimeter of the roofline where eaves have gutters installed. Gables and dormers add or remove runs depending on roof design.

Do gutter guards change the cleaning price?

Yes, modestly. Guards reduce how often cleaning is needed — usually once a year instead of twice for average homes, four times a year near pine trees — but cleaning under guards takes longer, so some pros charge a small premium for guard-equipped homes.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Angi recommends 1 to 2 cleanings a year for an average home (spring or early fall), 2 or more times near oak trees, and up to 4 times a year near pine trees. Neglect shows up as overflow, which is also when the neglected-gutter surcharge applies to pricing.
