2026 Boise price guide

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Boise?

Cost varies by home size and complexity. A single-story home without buildup is on the lower end, a two-story takes more ladder work, and heavy buildup or hard roof access pushes costs higher.

Common add-ons

What can add to the price

Three things come up often enough that we price them right on the calculator. Nothing gets added without you approving it first.

+$40 to $80

Heavy buildup

Gutters that have not been cleaned in 2+ years hold compacted, rooted debris that takes real time to dig out by hand.

+$25 to $60

Clogged downspout clearing

A blockage down inside the pipe, not just at the top. The provider clears it from above or below and runs water through to confirm flow.

+$30 to $70

Gutter guard cleaning or rinse

Homes with existing guards need the guards lifted or rinsed so the provider can clear the fine debris that works in underneath.

Behind the number

What actually drives gutter cleaning cost

Home size and gutter footage

Price tracks the linear feet of gutter, not the square feet of your house. A sprawling single-story ranch can carry more gutter than a compact two-story, which is why the provider asks about both.

Number of stories

Second-story gutters mean taller ladders, more repositioning, and slower, more careful work. This is a significant cost factor the provider accounts for in every estimate.

How full the gutters are

A light seasonal layer of leaves scoops out fast. Two or more skipped years means compacted muck, seedlings, and shingle grit that has to be dug out inch by inch.

Roof access

Steep pitches, tight side yards, decks, fences, and landscaping under the gutter line all slow the ladder work down. Hard-access homes represent a significant cost increase from standard work.

What about gutter guards, repairs, and new gutters?

Cleaning is the recurring cost. If you are pricing the bigger jobs, here is where they usually land in Boise, with the full breakdowns one click away.

Gutter guard installation

Gutter guard installation costs vary by guard type. A typical home with 150 to 200 linear feet of gutter requires different amounts depending on whether you choose micro-mesh at the premium end or screen guards at the budget end. If you are paying for two cleanings a year, a guard install typically pays for itself in three to four years. Full details on the gutter guards page, or see the full gutter guards vs. cleaning comparison if you are still deciding between the two.

Gutter repair

Gutter repairs vary based on the work needed. Resealing a leaking seam or rehanging a sagging section sits at the lower end of the cost spectrum. Replacing a damaged run or correcting slope across a long section costs more. See the gutter repair page for the full breakdown.

Full gutter replacement

Full gutter system replacement is a significant investment for most homes. Most maintained gutters last 20 to 30 years, so unless the system is corroded or was installed poorly, a repair is almost always the better call financially. The provider will give you an honest read on which side of that line your gutters are on.

Cost questions

Gutter pricing in Boise: frequently asked questions

The cost questions Boise homeowners actually ask before booking.

How much is gutter cleaning in Boise?
Gutter cleaning in Boise varies based on your home type and situation. A single-story home with regular maintenance costs less than a two-story home, which requires more ladder work and safety precautions. Steep or hard-access rooflines increase the cost further. Heavy buildup from 2+ skipped years adds additional cost. The provider gives you a free, firm estimate before any work starts.
How much do gutter guards cost in Boise?
Gutter guard installation costs vary by guard type and footage. A typical home with 150 to 200 linear feet of gutter requires different amounts depending on whether you choose micro-mesh guards at the premium end or screen guards at the budget end. Guard maintenance during service visits is available as an add-on.
How much do new gutters cost?
Full gutter replacement is a major investment that varies based on your home's linear footage and number of stories. Before you price a replacement, have the existing system looked at: most repairs offer better value, and a properly maintained gutter system lasts 20 to 30 years. Replacement is usually the right choice only if the system is corroded or failing throughout.
What makes gutter cleaning cost more or less?
Four things drive the price: the linear feet of gutter on the home, the number of stories, how much debris has built up, and how hard the roofline is to reach. Long runs, second-story ladder work, 2+ years of buildup, and steep or obstructed access all push the price up. A compact single-story home cleaned on a regular schedule stays at the low end.
Is paying for gutter cleaning worth it versus doing it myself?
DIY is free until it is not. A fall from a ladder is the real cost of doing it yourself, and a garden trowel and leaf blower leave the downspout clogs behind. A professional crew clears the gutters by hand, flushes every downspout, bags the debris, and flags problems like loose hangers or failing seams before they turn into repair bills. If you are comfortable on a ladder and have a single-story home, DIY can work. For two-story homes, most people find that professional service is a safer choice.
Does the estimate itself cost anything?
No. The estimate is free and comes with no obligation. Call to set up a free estimate. The crew confirms the price once it sees the job in person, and gives you a clear estimate before any work starts.
How do I get a real number for my Boise gutter cleaning?
Call (208) 203-4508 with your address, the number of stories, and roughly how long it has been since the gutters were last done. That gives the provider enough to quote a real number rather than a range, and the price is confirmed on site before any work starts.
Does the price change once you are on site?
Only if what the provider finds is genuinely different from what was described -- for example gutters that have not been touched in several years, or a downspout blockage that has to be snaked. In that case the provider shows you the problem and the revised price and you decide before the provider continues. The provider does not add charges after the fact.
What does a gutter cleaning include for the price?
Leaves, pine needles, twigs and dirt come out of the gutters and the downspouts. Then the gutters and downspouts are flushed, which clears the smaller debris and shows up hidden clogs and drainage problems. If the flush turns up something that needs a repair, the estimate for that repair is free.
How long will my gutter cleaning take?
It depends on the size of your home and how much debris is in the gutters. After an inspection, the provider gives you a detailed estimate that covers both the expected time and the total cost, and the inspection and estimate are free.
