How much does it cost to clean your gutters?

Scroll to clean ↓

Short answer: A gutter clean-out, clearing leaves and debris out of the trough and flushing the downspouts, runs $175 for a one-story home, $199 for a larger one-story and $249 for two stories. Gutter brightening, which cleans the black staining off the outside face by hand, is a separate add-on priced at $95 or $145 depending on home size. Both show up as options on the instant price from your address, so you tick whichever one your gutters actually need.

01

Two different jobs, two different prices

Puma treats gutters as two separate services. A clean-out gets leaves and debris out of the inside of the trough and flushes the downspouts so water actually drains. Brightening is a different job entirely: it cleans the black staining and oxidation off the outside face of the gutter by hand, without scratching the paint. Some homes only need one, some need both in the same visit.

02

What a clean-out costs

A clean-out runs $175 for a one-story home, $199 for a larger one-story, and $249 for two stories, since a two-story home takes more time and equipment to reach safely. The price comes from your address using county records for size and floors, so you see the exact number before you book, not an estimate that changes once a crew shows up.

03

What brightening costs

Brightening is priced as an add-on at $95 or $145 depending on home size. It only touches the outside face of the gutter, the part you see from the driveway, and it is cleaned by hand so the paint does not get scratched. It does not clear anything out of the trough, which is why it is priced and booked separately from a clean-out.

04

Booking one, the other, or both

Both services show up as options on the instant price you get from typing in your address. Tick a clean-out if leaves and debris are the problem, tick brightening if the black staining on the face is what bothers you, or tick both to get the full job done in one visit. Booking 3 or more services together, including these two plus something like a roof or house wash, brings 10% off the total.

05

Price does not change based on how dirty the gutters are

The price you see from your address is the price you pay, whether the gutters are lightly dusty or packed with a season of leaves. Nobody comes out to quote first. Every job also starts with one clean stripe or corner: if it does not look noticeably better, the crew packs up and you pay nothing.

06

In Volusia County

Volusia County property records show 56% of homes here were built before 1990 and 77% have shingle roofs. Older homes with more roofline tend to have gutters that need both a clean-out and brightening by the time they finally get booked, rather than just one or the other.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between gutter cleaning and gutter brightening?

A clean-out clears leaves and debris out of the trough and flushes the downspouts, priced at $175 to $249 by home size. Brightening cleans the black staining off the outside face of the gutter by hand, priced at $95 or $145.

Can I book brightening without a clean-out, or the other way around?

Yes, tick whichever service your gutters actually need on the price you get from your address, or tick both if you want the full job done in one visit.

Does a two-story home cost more for gutters?

Yes, both services cost more for a two-story home. A clean-out runs $249 instead of $175 or $199 for a one-story home, and brightening runs $145 instead of $95.

Does it cost more if the gutters are really dirty or clogged?

No, the price comes from your address and does not change based on how much debris or staining the crew finds when they get there.
