Every homeowner knows that clogged gutters can lead to fascia rot, basement flooding, and expensive siding repairs. Yet the simple question “What is the gutter cleaning services cost?” often brings wildly different answers. At CountBricks, our AI-powered estimating engine pulls real-time labor rates and material charges from local databases, giving you concrete numbers in seconds. Below, we unpack the factors that shape those numbers so you can budget with confidence.
• Home size and gutter length – Linear footage is the single biggest factor. A 1,200 sq ft ranch might have 120 ft of gutters, while a 3,000 sq ft two-story could top 250 ft.
• Accessibility – One-story bungalows are quick work from a six-foot ladder. Three-story Victorians require extended ladders, staging, or manlifts, adding labor hours and equipment rental.
• Debris severity – Light leaf buildup is a rinse-and-go. Packed mud, seedlings, or iced-in debris demand scraping, flushing, and sometimes downspout disassembly.
• Safety constraints – Steep 10/12 pitches, brittle slate roofing, or power-line proximity trigger higher insurance premiums and specialized harness gear.
Drawing on thousands of CountBricks residential estimates, typical single-family costs run:
• $1.00 – $1.50 per linear foot for single-story homes with minimal debris
• $1.75 – $2.50 per linear foot for two-story homes or moderate buildup
• $2.75 – $4.00 per linear foot for three-story homes, extreme slopes, or heavy compaction
Example: A 180-ft two-story property at $2.00 / ft equals $360. Our users receive that figure instantly after narrating, “180 feet of two-story aluminum gutters, heavy leaves.”
• Downspout reattachment – Rusted screws snap, requiring new brackets and sealant.
• Minor fascia repairs – Rotten boards uncovered during cleaning can add lumber and carpentry line items.
• Disposal fees – Some municipalities charge by weight for organic waste.
CountBricks flags these extras during the voice walk-through so they appear in the final invoice, not as surprises on workday.
1. Speak your scope: “Clean gutters on 2,400-sq-ft colonial; 220 feet; medium debris.”
2. AI takeoff cross-checks blueprint or satellite imagery and calculates actual linear footage.
3. Real-time cost engine pulls current Riverside, CA labor rates and any seasonal surcharges.
4. A branded PDF quote with tasks, materials, and timeline lands in your inbox—ready for client approval.
• Coastal zones see higher corrosion; stainless screws and sealants bump material costs roughly 8 %.
• Northern climates factor snow-guard removal or ice-dam steaming, adding $100-$250 per visit.
• High-growth metros face labor shortages; CountBricks live-rate tracking updates every 30 days to reflect shifting demand.
• DIY equipment rental (ladder, hose attachment, disposal bags) averages $85-$120 plus your Saturday.
• Professional crew with insurance, fall protection, and haul-off averages $300-$450 for similar footage.
Factor in opportunity cost: one slip can cost far more than a pro invoice. CountBricks always recommends OSHA-compliant crews logged in our vetted contractor network.
• Schedule post-leaf-drop but before heavy winter—crews bundle jobs and pass savings.
• Commit to semiannual service; recurring routes trim mobilization fees.
• Install gutter guards where tree density justifies long-term ROI. CountBricks shows payback timelines inside the estimate.

A Riverside, CA HOA manages 24 townhomes with a combined 4,800 linear feet of gutters. Historically, the board accepted a single lump-sum invoice each fall—$9,600 flat. They suspected overcharges but lacked data.
1. On-site walk-throughs were replaced by a 20-minute voice session. The property manager detailed building heights, debris severity, and downspout counts while referencing stored blueprints on CountBricks.com/portfolio.
2. The AI takeoff confirmed 4,520 actual feet—280 ft less than prior bills.
3. Local labor rates had dipped 4 % since the last contract cycle, automatically reflected in our engine.
4. CountBricks proposed a semiannual schedule. By splitting the workload into two lighter visits, ladder setup time fell, saving 7 labor hours annually.
