How much does it cost to clean my gutters?

This is hard to answer since the price is based on the linear footage of your gutters, so it just depends on how much gutters you have on your home.
 
The price is $1.00/linear foot of gutters. A typical single-story home gutter cleaning is priced between $175 and $250. A typical double story building will cost between $240 and $290.

Question 2

How often should I get my gutters cleaned?

Accepted Answer

It really depends on where you live.
 
If your home is near trees and shrubs than it would be wise to get your gutters cleaned once or twice a year to prevent any clogging or potential damage to your home.
 
If your home is in an open area, than every few years should be sufficient since over time your gutters can still build up with shingle granules, dirt and various debris.

Question 4

How can clogged gutters damage my home?

Accepted Answer

Water is your home's biggest enemy.  If water isn't drained away from your home than you can potentially have basement flooding or other water damages to your foundation, which can be very costly.
 
If your gutters are clogged and water starts to build up, when it freezes in the winter, the ice will expand and contract which could cause damage to the gutters and gutter seals.  Even the weight from the water/ice and junk in your gutters could be enough to pull the gutters away from the roof and pull out the supporting gutter screws and gutter hangers.  There's also water stains, rotting fascia boards and other damages caused by water.
