| | A clean gutter is designed to draw water away from a home's foundation, according to Do It Yourself.com. When a gutter overflows with debris, it may also cause roof damage.
A gutter cleaning service may be priced by the square footage of the home, or the linear foot of gutter. | | |
| Typical costs: | - Cleaning the gutters on a single-story 1,500-square foot house with about 160 linear feet of gutter will run $70-$200.
- Cost for a single-story 2,000-square foot home with around 180 linear feet of gutter is about $90-$225.
- A two-story 2,500-square foot home with 200 linear feet of gutter runs $100-$250.
- A sturdy ladder is needed for do-it-yourselfers, according to eHow.com.
What should be included: | - A gutter cleaning service should clean out the leaves and debris, bag the waste and then flush the entire system. Some services will also inspect and tighten fasteners and reseal end caps and outlets.
Additional costs: | - For three-story homes, or anywhere a 40-foot ladder is used, a second worker is required. Add about $75-$200 to the price.
- Downspouts can take extra time and may bring the total cost up to $500 if seriously clogged.
Discounts: | - Some companies offer a 15% discount for seniors and discounts of up to 20% for repeat service.

| My gutters were packed with leaves and I think there were some plants growing inside. I had a waterfall in front of my door every time it rained. So I called this guy my neighbor used. Not only was this guy on time and friendly but also thorough. He made sure the gutters were completely clean and working properly. I believe the price was reasonable for the work performed. |

| Chris of Coolscapes cleans my gutters for $50 - actually it's $100, but that's for both my house and my rental property. It's a pretty good deal compared to other quotes I've gotten, though for this price he doesn't flush the downspouts fully I think. |

| Firm: Capital Gutter Cleaning |
| My gutters were packed and overflowing and too high for us too reach with our ladder. My husband and I put off cleaning as long as possible until one day I ran across the website of www.capitalguttercleaning.com and we scheduled our job online and had them cleaned by the next afternoon. I'll be using these guys again this spring! |
