How to price a gutter cleaning job?
Short answerPrice a gutter cleaning job from linear feet of gutter, the number of stories, the downspouts to clear and the condition of the debris, then add a minimum charge and your margin. Offer repairs and guards as separate quotes after you see the gutters from a ladder.
The explanation
Measure the run, not the house. Record linear feet, the height of each section, and the number of downspouts. A second story adds time and risk, so it should add price. Photos of the roofline from the street are a cheap first screen.
Condition changes the labor. Compacted leaves, moss or standing water slow the job and may need a second pass. Say that a very clogged system is priced after you have seen it, and ask for a photo up front.
Add a minimum charge so a short run still covers the ladder and the trip. Keep repairs, flushing the downspouts and guard installation as optional lines. Cleaning many homes on one street in a day lowers your travel cost, so route-based pricing can be fair to both sides.
