Clogged gutters are more than a nuisance—they can lead to foundation damage, roof leaks, and costly siding repairs. Knowing the current gutters cleaning cost helps homeowners budget accurately and schedule maintenance before problems escalate. CountBricks’ AI-driven estimating platform delivers instant, voice-activated quotes that reflect real-time labor rates, materials pricing, and regional conditions. Below, our residential construction team explains the cost drivers, savings opportunities, and smart scheduling strategies every homeowner should know.
• Linear footage of gutter runs
• Number of downspouts and elbows
• Roof height, pitch, and access complexity
• Debris level (light leaves versus packed sludge)
• Safety equipment required (harnesses, stabilizers, staging)
• Geographic labor rates and seasonal demand
• Added services such as minor resealing, bracket repair, or installing gutter guards
On single-story homes with straightforward access, CountBricks projects an average range of $0.85 – $1.25 per linear foot. Two-story properties with steeper pitches typically land between $1.50 – $2.50 per linear foot because of additional ladder setups and safety gear. For a 200-linear-foot system, that translates to $170 – $500 depending on conditions. CountBricks’ live database updates every 24 hours, ensuring that the pricing in your estimate reflects current regional labor trends and material mark-ups.

5. One-Click Invoice: Approve the scope, and an invoice is auto-generated for easy scheduling and payment.
• Schedule spring and fall cleanings to avoid emergency surcharges after storms.
• Install snap-in gutter guards during cleaning to cut debris buildup by up to 80 %.
• Bundle minor fascia or soffit repairs in the same visit to save on setup fees.
• Request photo verification from CountBricks crews—proof of a thorough job without climbing a ladder.
• Activate auto-reminders in your CountBricks dashboard so you never miss seasonal maintenance windows.
DIY Costs
Most homeowners budget $50-$120 for a weekend DIY session—ladder rental, gloves, debris bags, and possible gutter scoop purchases. Hidden expenses often arise, including:
• Lost personal time
• Higher injury risk without proper fall protection
• Disposal fees if municipal pickup won’t take wet leaves
Professional Costs
While hiring a pro averages $170-$350, you gain crew efficiency, insured labor, and preventive inspections that identify loose fasteners or early rot. CountBricks customers report a 38 % reduction in secondary water damage claims after switching to professional maintenance on a predictable schedule.
In snow-prone regions, autumn demand spikes once leaves start to fall. Crews book out quickly, and gutters cleaning cost can rise 10 %-15 %. Conversely, midsummer offers lower rates because systems stay relatively clear. CountBricks’ AI flags off-peak discounts in your locale and suggests ideal booking windows right in your project dashboard.
• Roof inspection plus gutter cleaning: Detect shingle damage early.
• Exterior pressure washing: Wash siding runoff marks in the same mobilization.
• Small carpentry fixes: Repair fascia boards before reinstalling gutters.
When services are bundled, setup and travel charges are allocated across multiple tasks, lowering your overall invoice by 12 % on average. View combination packages at CountBricks.com/services.
Homeowner Maria requested a quote using our voice assistant: “Two-story, 220 feet of 5-inch aluminum gutters, lots of maple leaves.” CountBricks returned:
• Labor: $2.10 per linear foot × 220 ft = $462.00
• Equipment (40-foot ladder & harness): $48.00
• Debris hauling: $25.00
Total gutters cleaning cost: $535.00
Maria added gutter guard installation for $5.25 per foot, eliminating future clogs. The platform automatically recalculated the long-term maintenance savings and generated a combined invoice in under two minutes.

When the Reynolds family enrolled in CountBricks’ Preventive Maintenance Plan, their tri-level home in Rochester had experienced two ice-dam incidents and a flooded basement window well. Our first audit showed they were paying $400-$450 twice a year because cleaners had to reset ladders three times and manually haul debris.
1. Smart Scheduling: By moving the spring cleaning to late May and the fall cleaning to early November—windows when maple drop and early snow melt are predictable—our AI forecast shaved urgency fees by 12 %.
2. Equipment Optimization: CountBricks dispatched a two-person crew with a vacuum-assist system calibrated for 40-foot reach. Faster debris removal cut labor hours from 6 to 3.5, saving $180 per visit.
3. Guard Installation: A stainless-mesh guard was added at $5.40 per foot. Although it raised the first-year invoice, the payback period was only 1.8 years thanks to reduced cleanings.
4. Continuous Monitoring: Photos uploaded to the client portal after each visit created a maintenance log accepted by their home insurer, winning them a 5 % premium discount.
Outcome
Total yearly spend dropped from $900 to $495. Basement water-related repairs fell to zero. The Reynolds family now uses the savings toward a CountBricks deck renovation slated for next summer.
