Figures cover the Tacoma metro area. Expect the top of each range for tall homes, steep roofs and heavy tree cover, and the bottom for simple one-story homes with walkable roofs.
Gutter cleaning prices across Tacoma
Same city, four price bands. Our estimate runs highest in Downtown Tacoma & Stadium District. Height, access and parking move a quote more than the gutters themselves.
Downtown Tacoma & Stadium District
- Two-story clean
- $250–$410 per job
- One-story clean
- $110–$350 / one-story clean
Expect the higher end here. Tall homes, tight side yards and street parking all slow the job, so ask whether parking and roof access are in the price.
Hilltop & South Tacoma
- Two-story clean
- $240–$380 per job
- One-story clean
- $100–$320 / one-story clean
Expect quotes near the city typical. If your street has big old trees, ask about a twice-a-year plan: the per-visit price usually drops.
Eastside & Lakewood
- Two-story clean
- $220–$360 per job
- One-story clean
- $100–$300 / one-story clean
Close to the city typical. If the downspouts empty onto a driveway or path, ask about extensions while the crew is there.
Puyallup, Federal Way & Olympia
- Two-story clean
- $210–$360 per job
- One-story clean
- $95–$300 / 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.
Real-world gutter cleaning costs in Tacoma
Here's what common gutter cleaning jobs cost in Tacoma in 2026, labor, haul-away and downspout flushing included.
Overdue two-story clean with blocked downspouts
A two-story clean ($160–$440) plus a heavy-debris charge ($55–$160) and clearing blocked downspouts ($65–$160). Gutters left for a few years often need all three.
Two-story clean plus a roof blow-off
Leaves and needles on the roof wash straight back into clean gutters. Blowing the roof off on the same visit adds $85–$210 to the $280 typical clean.
Cleaning under existing gutter guards
Guards keep out most leaves, but grit and needles still build up under them. Lifting and refitting guards adds $35–$160 to a two-story clean.
Clean plus two leaking seams sealed
Drips at a corner or end cap are a common small repair. Sealing each one runs $55–$160 while the crew is already up the ladder.
One-story clean with four downspouts flushed
If your quote leaves the downspouts out, four of them at $30–$110 each, on top of a $110–$290 one-story clean, is the real price. Ask for a flat price that includes them.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Tacoma?
$160–$440 for a two-story home, and $280 is what most Tacoma homeowners pay. Height sets the price: a one-story home runs $110–$290, a three-story $250–$630, and a small condo or townhouse unit $85–$240.
Small jobs on the same visit cost less than a second trip: $55–$160 to reseal a leaking seam, $85–$210 to re-secure a loose run, and $30–$60 per downspout for an extension. Re-checked against 36 sources, November 2026.
Gutter cleaning prices in Tacoma (2026) by job
A two-story clean runs $160–$440, a one-story $110–$290, and a three-story $250–$630.
| Line on the quote | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-story home | $110 | $190 | $290 |
| Two-story home | $160 | $280 | $440 |
| Three-story home | $250 | $420 | $630 |
| Small home, condo or townhouse unit | $85 | $140 | $240 |
| Downspout flushing (each, when extra) | $30 | $55 | $110 |
| Roof debris blow-off | $85 | $140 | $210 |
| Reseal a leaking seam | $55 | $110 | $160 |
| Remove and refit gutter guards | $35 | $85 | $160 |
Height is the big one in Tacoma: the same gutters cost $190 typical on a one-story home, $280 on a two-story and $420 on a three-story, because taller homes take longer ladders, more care and sometimes a lift.
What moves a gutter cleaning quote in Tacoma:
- Stories: one-story $110–$290, two-story $160–$440, three-story $250–$630.
- Feet of gutter: by the foot, about $0.80–$1.60 on one story and $1.10–$2.10 on two.
- How full they are: packed or overgrown gutters add $55–$160.
- Guards: lifting and refitting them to clean underneath adds $35–$160.
- 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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma by home size
About $80–$160 for 100 ft of gutter on a one-story home, $120–$240 for 150 ft, and $220–$420 for 200 ft on a two-story home in Tacoma, at local per-foot prices.
Worked example: a two-story home with 200 ft of gutter at $1.55 a foot is $310. Add a roof blow-off at $140 and the bill is about $450. A 150-ft one-story home at $1.10 a foot is $165.
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 $275–$525 at local per-foot prices, before add-ons.
Tacoma gutter cleaning services compared
| Service type | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| One-story home | $110–$290 per job | Ranch homes and bungalows with a walkable roof |
| Two-story home | $160–$440 per job | Most family homes with 150–200 ft of gutter |
| Three-story home | $250–$630 per job | Tall homes that need roof access or a lift |
| Small home, condo or townhouse unit | $85–$240 per job | Short runs of gutter, under about 125 ft |
| Two-story clean on a twice-a-year plan | $140–$390 per visit | Homes under trees that need spring and fall cleanings |
| Two-story clean plus roof blow-off | $245–$650 per job | Roofs that hold leaves, needles or small branches |
| Two-story clean under gutter guards | $195–$600 per job | Homes with guards that clog underneath |
Per-foot price vs the full bill in Tacoma
A quote of $1.55 a foot on a two-story home sounds small, but 180 ft at that rate is about $280. Add four downspouts at $55 each and a roof blow-off ($140) and the bill is about $640. 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 $85. A flat price for the whole house, with downspouts and haul-away included, is the easiest quote to compare.
What's included in a Tacoma 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: $65–$160 to take apart or snake a downspout that won't flush
- Gutter guards: $35–$160 to lift and refit them to clean underneath
- Roof debris: $85–$210 to blow leaves and needles off the roof
- Repairs: $55–$160 to reseal a leaking seam, $85–$210 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.
Stories and access
A one-story home runs $110–$290 and a three-story $250–$630. 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, Tacoma prices run about $0.80–$1.60 on one story and $1.10–$2.10 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 $55–$160 to the bill.
Gutter guards
Guards cut how often you need a clean, but crews may charge $35–$160 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
Tacoma outdoor maintenance workers earn a median of about $23.31 an hour (BLS, May 2025), against $18.82 nationally. Gutter cleaning is mostly labor, so the typical Tacoma two-story clean is $280, above the $250 national typical.
- Sign up for a twice-a-year plan.Plans run about $140–$390 a visit in Tacoma, against $160–$440 for a one-time two-story clean.
- 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.
- Get a flat whole-house price.Make sure it includes downspouts and haul-away. Downspouts billed separately add $30–$110 each.
- Bundle the roof and repairs.A roof blow-off ($85–$210) or a seam reseal ($55–$160) costs less on the same visit than on a second trip.
- Trim branches over the roof.Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer cleanings and no heavy-debris charge.
- Don't let them get packed.A heavy-debris charge of $55–$160 is the price of waiting too long. Regular cleanings avoid it.
Get these in writing from any Tacoma gutter company before you book:
- A flat price for the whole house, every roofline included
- Whether downspouts are flushed, and the price if one is blocked
- Debris bagged and hauled away, not left on the lawn
- The extra charge, if any, for packed or overgrown gutters
- The price to lift and refit gutter guards, if you have them
- Any roof blow-off, and whether the crew will walk your roof
- Proof of liability insurance for work on ladders and roofs
- Before-and-after photos, and a note of any leaks or loose hangers found
