Professional gutter cleaning typically costs $100 to $300 for a single-family home, based on linear footage, stories, and debris level. Heavily clogged or neglected gutters with compacted sludge or plant growth may run higher.

Twice a year is the baseline: late spring and late fall after leaf drop. Homes under heavy tree cover — especially pines, which shed needles year-round — may need cleaning three to four times annually.

Clogged gutters overflow, sending water down siding and into the soil against your foundation. Common consequences: fascia and soffit rot, basement leaks, foundation settling, landscape erosion, ice dams in winter, and mosquito breeding in standing water.
