What is the average cost today
The cost of gutter cleaning in the Calgary area can vary depending on various factors such as the size of the property, the level of debris accumulation, and the complexity of the job. However, on average, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere between $125 to $350 for gutter cleaning services. Custom and larger houses with non-walkable roofs will probably face a $350+ bill in Calgary. Certain companies might charge a flat fee based on the home size, while others will charge by the hour or per linear foot of your eavestroughs.

Let’s dive into more details.
What affects the cost of eavestrough & downspout cleaning
What exactly do we consider when we price a gutter cleaning job?
We can list it since you asked, but if it looks too complicated, just let us handle it.
–Gutters height at the highest point.
-Are there subroofs?
–Square footage of the home/ building.
-Do your downspouts have extensions?
–Roof access: How safe and accessible is your roof?
–Gutter access: Any trees and bushes, landscaping, grade changes?
-If our roof is too steep to walk on it, we have to work from a ladder and move it every 5 ft.
-Do your gutters have leaf covers? In order to clean your eavestroughs properly, we have to take the covers off, clean the gutters, and put the covers back on.
-Is there a walk-out? That means we have to use a taller ladder and work at a greater height.
-Is your roof covered with concrete or wood tiles? Most of the time we can’t walk on those and we have to work from a ladder and move it every 5 ft along the gutter.
-Do you have a lot of trees above your roof? That means most of the gutters will be packed with leaves and twigs, and downspouts will be clogged.
-Do you need any small repairs?
-Did you skip a year or two on gutter cleaning? Your eavestroughs will need more attention and more vigorous work.
What am I paying for
You will be paying for eavestrough & downspout cleaning. A typical home service provider will clean your gutters of leaves, insects, nests, sticks, and other obstructions. Once the gutters are clean, they flush downspouts to ensure that they are fully functional too. In some jobs, additional services can be tacked onto the service.
By hiring gutter cleaners, you will:
- Reduce the risk of serious water damage to your home which will result in costly and time-consuming repairs
- Protect against mold and mildew: Excess moisture from clogged gutters can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which can be harmful to your health. Regular gutter cleaning can prevent this from happening.
- Increase the lifespan of your gutters: When gutters are clogged, water can back up and cause the gutters to rust and corrode. Regular cleaning can help prolong the lifespan of your gutters.
- Maintain the structural integrity of your home: When water damage is left untreated, it can weaken the structure of your home. Regular gutter cleaning can help maintain the structural integrity of your home.
- Prevent pest infestations: Clogged gutters can provide a breeding ground for pests such as mosquitoes, rodents, and birds. Regular cleaning can prevent these infestations from occurring.
- Save money on repairs: Regular gutter cleaning can help prevent costly repairs due to water damage or pest infestations, saving you money in the long run.

How to estimate gutter cleaning charges?
Different businesses use different pricing systems.
1) The Story /Foot Pricing System. Traditionally, many gutter cleaning companies use a standard calculation that factors in the height and length of the gutter in order to calculate the final cost. For example, a company might structure their gutter cleaning prices by charging $1 per foot on single-story buildings, and $2 per foot on two-story buildings. This model of linear foot pricing is different than the square footage formula used by other businesses and could save money for homes with big deck and patio extensions.
2) The Square Footage Formula. The name is rather self-explanatory, but deciding on whether this is a good pricing structure can be tricky. If a large portion of your home’s square footage is comprised of deck, patio, and other gutter-free features, you may be better off with a linear gutter calculation.
3) Combinatorial system. The one that we use. It takes into account all of the conditions of your gutter system, so you don’t pay extra in any situation.
