Prices are for the Madison metro: the city and its close suburbs. Our estimate runs higher in Downtown, State Street & the Isthmus and lower in areas like Sun Prairie, Middleton & the suburbs; tall homes and tight access cost more anywhere.

How gutter cleaning costs vary across Madison

Gutter cleaning prices across Madison

Same city, four price bands. Our estimate runs highest in Downtown, State Street & the Isthmus. Height, access and parking move a quote more than the gutters themselves.

Gutter cleaning prices across MadisonTypical range by part of the metro, per job. The line marks the Madison typical.
Downtown, State Street & the IsthmusUp to 20% above the city typical $230–$360per job

Quotes here sit at the top of the city range in our estimate. Tall or attached homes, tight streets and paid parking all add time.

South Madison & Park Street

Around 10% above typical
South Madison, Park Street, Allied Drive
Two-story clean
$210–$340 per job
One-story clean
$95–$310 / one-story clean

A mix of older and newer homes. Older gutters often need a seam sealed or a hanger replaced; get those priced on the same visit.

UW campus & the Near West

Close to typical
UW-Madison, Near West, Monroe Street
Two-story clean
$190–$310 per job
One-story clean
$85–$280 / one-story clean

If a rental near campus has gone years without a clean, expect a heavy-debris charge on the first visit. After that, prices sit close to the city typical.

Sun Prairie, Middleton & the suburbs

Close to typical, more under big trees
Sun Prairie, Middleton, Fitchburg, Verona
Two-story clean
$190–$330 per job
One-story clean
$85–$290 / one-story clean

Bigger homes and big trees mean more feet of gutter and more debris, so quotes range wider here. Simple one- and two-story homes still price near the city typical.

What you'll actually pay — job by job

Real-world gutter cleaning costs in Madison

Here's what common gutter cleaning jobs cost in Madison in 2026, labor, haul-away and downspout flushing included.

Overdue two-story clean with blocked downspouts

$260–$700

A two-story clean ($150–$400) plus a heavy-debris charge ($50–$150) and clearing blocked downspouts ($60–$150). Gutters left for a few years often need all three.

Two-story clean plus a roof blow-off

$225–$600

Leaves and needles on the roof wash straight back into clean gutters. Blowing the roof off on the same visit adds $75–$200 to the $250 typical clean.

Cleaning under existing gutter guards

$180–$550

Guards keep out most leaves, but grit and needles still build up under them. Lifting and refitting guards adds $30–$150 to a two-story clean.

Clean plus two leaking seams sealed

$250–$700

Drips at a corner or end cap are a common small repair. Sealing each one runs $50–$150 while the crew is already up the ladder.

One-story clean with four downspouts flushed

$200–$680

If your quote leaves the downspouts out, four of them at $25–$100 each, on top of a $100–$280 one-story clean, is the real price. Ask for a flat price that includes them.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Madison?

$150–$400 for a two-story home, and $250 is what most Madison homeowners pay. Height sets the price: a one-story home runs $100–$280, a three-story $230–$600, and a small condo or townhouse unit $75–$230.

Add-ons are where bills grow. Blocked downspouts cost $60–$150 to clear, a roof blow-off $75–$200, and sealing a leaky seam $50–$150. Prices re-checked against 36 sources in November 2026.

Gutter cleaning prices in Madison (2026) by job

Height is the big one in Madison: the same gutters cost $180 typical on a one-story home, $250 on a two-story and $380 on a three-story, because taller homes take longer ladders, more care and sometimes a lift.

What moves a gutter cleaning quote in Madison:

  • Stories: one-story $100–$280, two-story $150–$400, three-story $230–$600.
  • Feet of gutter: by the foot, about $0.70–$1.50 on one story and $1.00–$2.00 on two.
  • How full they are: packed or overgrown gutters add $50–$150.
  • Guards: lifting and refitting them to clean underneath adds $30–$150.
  • Roof pitch and access: steep roofs add about 15%, and tight side yards or roofs that can't be walked mean more ladder moves.

Ask every Madison company the same four things: the flat price for your whole house, whether downspouts are flushed, whether debris is hauled away, and what they charge if the gutters are packed. Compare those, not the starting price. Get a quote for your gutter job →

Gutter cleaning cost in Madison by home size

Quick answer

About $70–$150 for 100 ft of gutter on a one-story home, $105–$225 for 150 ft, and $200–$400 for 200 ft on a two-story home in Madison, at local per-foot prices.

Worked example: a two-story home with 200 ft of gutter at $1.40 a foot is $280. Add a roof blow-off at $130 and the bill is about $410. A 150-ft one-story home at $1.00 a foot is $150.

To guess your gutter length, allow about one foot of gutter for every 10 sq ft of home. A 2,500 sq ft two-story home has about 250 ft, about $250–$500 at local per-foot prices, before add-ons.

Madison tip: a cheap starting price that leaves out downspouts, haul-away or the back of the house is not a full price. Get the whole-house number in writing.

Per-foot price vs the full bill in Madison

A quote of $1.40 a foot on a two-story home sounds small, but 180 ft at that rate is about $250. Add four downspouts at $50 each and a roof blow-off ($130) and the bill is about $580. Compare whole-house prices, not per-foot rates.

Many companies also set a minimum charge, so a short run of gutter on a small home rarely costs less than $75. A flat price for the whole house, with downspouts and haul-away included, is the easiest quote to compare.

What's included in a Madison gutter cleaning quote (and what costs extra)

A standard quote covers scooping out every gutter, bagging and hauling the debris, flushing the downspouts and a quick check for leaks and loose hangers. It often leaves out:

  • Blocked downspouts: $60–$150 to take apart or snake a downspout that won't flush
  • Gutter guards: $30–$150 to lift and refit them to clean underneath
  • Roof debris: $75–$200 to blow leaves and needles off the roof
  • Repairs: $50–$150 to reseal a leaking seam, $75–$200 to re-secure a loose run with new hangers

Ask whether the price covers every roofline, including porches, garages and add-ons, and whether debris is hauled away or left in bags.

What affects gutter cleaning costs in Madison

Stories and access

A one-story home runs $100–$280 and a three-story $230–$600. Above two stories, some jobs need roof access or a lift, which costs extra.

Feet of gutter

A typical home has about 150–200 ft of gutter, roughly one foot for every 10 sq ft of floor space. By the foot, Madison prices run about $0.70–$1.50 on one story and $1.00–$2.00 on two.

Trees and debris

Homes under oaks need a clean at least twice a year and homes under pines up to four times. Packed or overgrown gutters add $50–$150 to the bill.

Gutter guards

Guards cut how often you need a clean, but crews may charge $30–$150 to lift and refit them. Ask if your guards can be cleaned from the top.

Roof pitch

Steep roofs add about 15% to a quote, and roofs you can't walk on mean more ladder moves. Seamed gutters also take a little longer than seamless ones.

Season

Fall and spring are the busy seasons, and some companies charge more then. Booking early, or in a quieter month, can save money.

Local labor

Madison outdoor maintenance workers earn a median of about $21.37 an hour (BLS, May 2025), against $18.82 nationally. Our estimate also allows for the size of the metro, not just pay: the typical Madison two-story clean is $250, close to the $250 national typical.

How to save money on gutter cleaning in Madison
  1. Sign up for a twice-a-year plan.Plans run about $130–$350 a visit in Madison, against $150–$400 for a one-time two-story clean.
  2. Book before the rush.Prices and wait times climb in peak leaf season. Book the fall clean early, or ask about a quieter-month discount.
  3. Get a flat whole-house price.Make sure it includes downspouts and haul-away. Downspouts billed separately add $25–$100 each.
  4. Bundle the roof and repairs.A roof blow-off ($75–$200) or a seam reseal ($50–$150) costs less on the same visit than on a second trip.
  5. Trim branches over the roof.Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer cleanings and no heavy-debris charge.
  6. Don't let them get packed.A heavy-debris charge of $50–$150 is the price of waiting too long. Regular cleanings avoid it.
Gutter cleaning cost in Madison: what the quote should include
