Keeping rain gutters clear is one of the simplest ways to protect a home’s roof, siding, and foundation. Yet many homeowners still ask, “What is the real gutters cleaning cost, and how can I budget accurately?” CountBricks answers that question every day through AI-driven voice conversations that turn on-site observations into line-item estimates in seconds. In this guide, our residential construction team breaks down every factor that influences price and shows how CountBricks makes the numbers work for you.
CountBricks estimates begin by measuring total gutter length from blueprints or real-time smartphone photos. More footage means more labor and disposal time, so price scales accordingly.
• Single-story ranch: lower labor risk and faster setup
• Two-story colonial: ladder stabilizers, extra crew member, higher insurance
• Steep hillside lots: possible lift rental and safety tie-offs
• Light buildup (annual cleaning) = quick blow-out and rinse
• Heavy buildup (several years) = hand scooping, clog clearing, disposal fees
• Damaged downspouts = optional repair or replacement add-ons
Metal and low-slope roofs allow faster footing, while high-pitch composite roofs demand slow staging. CountBricks’ AI applies pitch multipliers automatically when generating your estimate.
CountBricks pulls current local labor rates and landfill fees so your quote reflects real-time market conditions—no more guessing from outdated national averages.
• Small single-story (under 150 linear ft): $110–$160
• Mid-size two-story (150–250 linear ft): $180–$260
• Large custom home (250+ linear ft or complex roof): $275–$400+
Prices include labor, debris disposal, and a downspout flush. Optional services such as minor sealing, gutter guard removal, or fascia touch-ups add to the total.
1. Emergency call-out fees after a storm
2. Trip charges for remote rural sites
3. Equipment surcharges when a lift or scaffold is required
4. Disposal overages for wet, heavy leaf buildup

The Martins own a 2,300-sq-ft two-story home with 210 linear feet of gutters. After uploading their year-old blueprint to CountBricks, our AI calculated a base cleaning cost of $225. By bundling a minor downspout repair and signing a biannual agreement, they saved 18% compared to one-off pricing—proof that proactive planning really does trim costs.
