Stories and roof height

Height is the first thing that moves the price. A one-story ranch can often be done from a short ladder, while a three-story home needs taller ladders, more setups and slower, careful work. That is why the one-, two- and three-story rows step up. The statewide row blends all heights, so it sits between them.

How much debris is in the gutters

A gutter cleaned last fall is quick work. A gutter left for several years, packed with compost or growing seedlings, takes much longer and fills many more bags. That is where a heavy-debris surcharge comes in; the table shows its range. Homes under pines or large oaks also tend to land toward the top of their row.

Downspouts that will not clear

Flushing downspouts is part of a normal cleaning. A downspout packed solid at an elbow, or one that runs into a buried line, may need separate work to clear, priced per downspout. The typical figure is $50 each. A downspout that clogs every season is often a sign it is undersized; see downspouts and drainage.

Length, roof shape and access

More linear feet means more time. Steep roofs, dormers, porches with their own gutters, and runs above decks, pools or tight side yards all add setups. Gutter guards that must be lifted off and replaced to clean underneath also add labor.

Reading a quote and saving money

• Check that bagging and haul-away are included.
• Look for downspout flushing on the quote, not just the gutters.
• Ask whether a heavy-debris charge applies before the visit, not after.
• Book on a schedule: a regularly cleaned gutter is faster to clean.
• Ask about a seasonal cleaning plan if you clean twice a year.
