What gutter cleaning cost looks like on a Twin Cities house.

Homeowners searching gutter cleaning cost usually want two numbers: the per-foot rate and what a normal house actually pays. Ours is $1.5/ft with a $150 floor. Most single-story cleans land between $150 and $300; larger or two-story homes climb from there.

Two-story work adds $1.5 per foot for ladder time. Travel within about 40 miles of Minneapolis — including St. Paul and western Wisconsin towns we list — does not add a separate trip fee on standard jobs. We serve out to about 140 miles with travel quoted when needed.

Cleaning is free when leaf guards are installed with us the same day, because the channel must be clear before anything mounts on top. That is the cleanest way to stop paying for autumn ladder visits every year.

Real numbers

What a cleaning costs by house size

$1.5 per foot with a $150 minimum. Two stories add ladder time, which is where the difference comes from.

Home Roofline Single story Two story
Small ranch or bungalow ≈ 100 ft $150 $300
Typical single-story ≈ 125 ft $188 $375
Larger single-story ≈ 175 ft $263 $525
Two-story home ≈ 200 ft $300 $600
Large two-story ≈ 250 ft $375 $750

Included every time

Full clear-out by hand, downspouts flushed, debris bagged and taken away, photos of each run before and after.

Costs more

Three stories, roof pitch too steep to ladder safely, guards that have to come off first, or a run that has not been touched in five years.

Costs nothing

Cleaning is free when we fit guards the same day — the channel has to be clear before anything goes on top of it.

Gutter cleaning cost

What actually changes the price.

Gutter cleaning cost in Minneapolis and St. Paul is mostly linear footage and ladder time — not mystery trip fees. Here is how we build the number.

Linear footage

$1.5/ft

Every foot of eave we climb and clear. A typical single-story home is around 125 ft of gutter line.

Stories

+$1.5/ft on 2-story

Two-story homes add ladder resets and safer staging. Three-story work is quoted separately after we see access.

Minimum

$150 floor

Smaller ranches and short runs still take a crew visit, setup, and disposal — so the minimum protects a fair job, not a partial scoop.

Typical ranges homeowners ask about

Most single-story cleans land between $150 and $300 when footage is modest. Larger two-story homes and heavily treed lots climb from there because every extra ladder move and packed needle mat adds time. Use the table above for size-based estimates, then confirm with the cost calculator in cleaning mode — same rates we use on the phone.

Cleaning is free when leaf guards are installed with us on the same visit: the channel has to be empty before a guard goes on. If you are comparing ongoing cleans against a one-time guard install, the gutter guards hub walks through payback with our published per-foot prices. Travel inside our 40-mile free-travel radius — including St. Paul and western Wisconsin towns like Hudson and River Falls — does not add a separate trip charge on standard jobs.

Want the seasonal schedule that keeps those cleans from stacking up after every storm? Back to gutter cleaning service for photo-report details and how often Twin Cities roofs actually need a visit.

Cleaning vs guards

Pay per visit — or pay once for protection.

If you are pricing two cleans a year forever, run the payback math on our gutter guards hub. Aluminum mesh on a typical 125-foot home often breaks even in a handful of seasons against twice-yearly service.

Still want seasonal cleaning only? Book from the service page and keep the photo report rhythm through fall and spring.
