How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost? (2026 Price Guide)
As of 2026, national cost guides put gutter cleaning between about $125 and $500 per visit. Most jobs land between $125 and $250. That is a market range, not a Supreme Gutter Services quote. Supreme gives every job a free phone quote instead of a flat price. Two things drive your real number: how many stories your home has, and how much debris has built up.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in 2026?
National cost guides put typical gutter cleaning at $0.95 to $2.25 per linear foot. That data comes from Today's Homeowner and This Old House, compiled in 2026. It breaks down into rough story-based ranges:
| Home type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Single-story | $145 to $250 |
| Two-story | $180 to $360 |
| Three-story | $210 to $450 |
Labor makes up about 70% of that bill. These are national numbers. They help you plan a budget. They are not a quote for your home. Supreme Gutter Services does not publish a flat local price list. Every home is different. So the company gives a free quote based on your gutter length, your roofline, and how much debris has piled up. Call for your free, no-surprise quote.

What makes the price go up or down?
A few things move the price more than anything else.
Home size and gutter length. A longer gutter run takes more time to clear. A small ranch costs less. A big two-story home has more linear feet, so it costs more.
Single-story versus two-story ladder work. Two-story homes need taller ladders. They need more setup time. The work is more careful and takes longer. That adds to the price. It lines up with the national story-tier data above.
How much debris and tree cover. A yard full of oak, pine, or palm trees fills gutters fast. More debris means more time on the ladder. Heavier tree cover pushes the price up.
Whether gutter guards are installed. Homes with gutter guards already in place usually need less time per visit. Guards keep out most of the leaves and needles. They do not stop cleaning altogether. But they can stretch the time between visits.
How often should you get your gutters cleaned?
Most Florida homes need gutter cleaning twice a year. The first cleaning happens in late fall, after the leaves drop. The second happens in spring, before hurricane season starts. Homes with heavy tree cover may need three or four cleanings a year instead of two.
That spring cleaning matters more than it looks. NOAA weather data for the Largo area shows June through September alone brings over 32 inches of rain. That is more than half the year's total rain, packed into just four months. Skip the spring cleaning, and the heaviest rain of the year hits clogged gutters first. That is exactly when your home needs them working the most.
Why do older Pinellas homes need it more?
The typical Largo home was built around 1978. More than half the city's homes, roughly 26,400 of them, went up before 1980. That comes from Census housing data. Gutters on homes this old often still use the original spike-and-ferrule hangers. That style loosens and pulls away as the wood ages.
A routine cleaning is the easiest time to catch a hanger before it fails. Catch it early, and it costs less to fix. If a section is already pulling away from the fascia, that is a job for gutter repair, not just cleaning. Homes in Largo's service area and nearby Pinellas County towns see this pattern often. It is worth checking every visit, not just when a problem is obvious.
What is included in a professional cleaning?
A professional gutter cleaning from Supreme Gutter Services covers the full system. It is not just a quick scoop of the leaves on top.
The crew removes all debris from the gutters and downspouts by hand. Then they flush the system with water. This confirms everything drains the way it should. While they work, they check for damage, loose hangers, and any spot where water is not flowing right. If they find a problem, they tell you before they leave. Nothing is a surprise later.
A clean gutter also protects more than the roofline. Clogged gutters overflow, and that water runs straight down the side of the house. It pools around the foundation and can damage the fascia, soffit, and landscaping below. A twice-a-year cleaning is a small cost next to that kind of repair.
If your current gutters are too old or damaged to keep patching, it may be time to compare cleaning against new gutters. Read the gutter installation cost guide to see that side of the math. If a named storm is on the way, read the hurricane season gutter prep guide for what to check before it hits.

FAQ
Related questions
Is it safe to clean my own gutters?
Ladder falls are one of the most common home injuries, and Florida makes it worse. Wet shingles, soft ground after rain, and two-story rooflines add real risk. If your home is more than one story, or your footing is not solid, let a pro handle it. Supreme Gutter Services is licensed and insured, and the crew inspects the whole system while it cleans.
Do you check for damage during cleaning?
Yes. The crew inspects the entire gutter system while it cleans. If they find loose hangers, damaged sections, or leaks, they tell you right away and can often fix the problem on the spot, before it turns into a bigger repair.
Is professional gutter cleaning worth it?
For most homeowners, yes. A pro clears the debris, flushes the system to confirm it drains, and catches small problems like a loose hanger before they become fascia damage or a full gutter failure. That inspection is worth more than the cleaning alone, since it can save you a much bigger repair bill later.
