What to know before you book

Why height changes the price

The gutters on a two-story home are no dirtier than on a one-story, but the crew needs a longer ladder, more ladder moves and more care. That's why the typical price climbs from $175 for one story to $250 for two and $375 for three.

Above two stories, some jobs need roof access, rope gear or a lift. One national booking company adds $150–$300 to bring in a lift or rope gear on the tallest homes.

How to measure your gutters

Most homes have 150–200 ft of gutter. A quick rule: about one foot of gutter for every 10 sq ft of home, so a 2,000 sq ft house has about 200 ft. You can also pace the edge of the roof where gutters hang and add the porches and garage.

Then multiply. At $1.40 a foot, 200 ft on a two-story home is $280. At $1.00 a foot, 150 ft on a one-story home is $150.

What else moves the price

Steep roofs add about 15%, seamed gutters take a little longer than seamless ones, and packed gutters add $50–$150. Guards that have to come off add $30–$150.

Small homes don't always cost much less: many companies have a minimum charge, so a short run of gutter on a condo or townhouse still runs $75–$225.

How to compare quotes

Ask each company for a flat price for the whole house, with every roofline, downspout flushing and haul-away included. A low per-foot rate that leaves out the back of the house, the garage or the downspouts is not the real price.
