How to price gutter cleaning

A gutter cleaning price starts from one of two things: the house or the length of gutter. By the house, you keep one price for a one-story home, one for two stories and one for three, and add for what makes a job longer. By the foot, you add up the runs of gutter and multiply by your price per foot. Both are in the calculator above. Use the one you can quote from the ground.

Gutter cleaning price per foot

A price per linear foot follows the amount of gutter, not the size of the house. To get the length, walk around the house and add up the run along each edge of the roof that has a gutter; count the downspouts while you are there. Some gutter cleaners keep a second, higher price per foot for upper-story runs; others add a set amount for the height. Whichever you choose, write the feet and the price per foot on the estimate, so the customer can see where the total came from.

What adds to the price

A steep roof, gutters that have not been cleaned in a long time, and guards that have to come off and go back on all make the same house a longer job. Keep each as its own line with its own amount. The customer sees what the extra is for, and the next visit, when the gutters are not overdue, costs what your list says. Downspouts are their own line too, priced each.

Quoting a house you have not seen

Ask for the address, the number of stories and when the gutters were last cleaned. Give a price for what was described and say it holds if the house is as described. If you arrive and find guards nobody mentioned or a downspout packed solid, show the customer, add the line, and get a yes before you do the work.

Cleaning, repairs and installs on one list

Many who clean gutters also reseal a seam, replace a hanger or put up a new run. That is different work with a different price: by the piece, by the foot or by the job. The list below has a starting price for each. With all of it on one list, a repair you find during a cleaning goes on the same estimate.

Gutter cleaning price questions

Should I charge by the house or by the foot?
Either works. By the house is quicker to quote; by the foot follows the work more closely on large or unusual homes. Pick one as your usual way and keep the other for the jobs it fits.
How do I bid gutter cleaning for a house I have not seen?
Ask for the address, the number of stories and when the gutters were last cleaned, give a price for that, and say it holds if the house is as described. Confirm it when you arrive.
Do I charge for downspouts separately?
Many gutter cleaners price each downspout flushed on its own line. Others include downspouts in the cleaning price. Say which on the estimate.
Do I charge more when the gutters are overdue?
Many gutter cleaners add an amount for heavy debris. Say it before you start, and put it on its own line.
How do I price a customer who books every season?
Set a price per visit and the number of visits a year you agreed on, and write both on the estimate. When the work changes, tell the customer before the visit the new price applies to, not on the invoice after it.
