How much does eavestrough cleaning cost in Toronto? A bungalow runs $130 to $170. Two-story homes cost $180 to $230, and three-story properties can hit $400 or more. These are our actual 2026 prices at DT Cleaning - not estimates pulled from the internet.
We asked two of our lead technicians - Vitaly and Dmitriy - to walk through exactly how they price every gutter cleaning job in Toronto. Here is what they said.
Eavestrough Cleaning Prices in Toronto (2026)
| House Type | Price Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small bungalow (front + back only) | $130 | Minimal gutter length |
| Bungalow with gutter guards | $130 - $150 | Guards reduce debris buildup |
| Bungalow without guards | $150 - $170 | More debris, more work |
| Two-story (walkable roof) | $180 - $200 | Standard residential |
| Two-story (steep roof) | $200 - $230 | Safety precautions needed |
| Two-story with gutters on both floors | $230 | Double gutter system |
| Three-story home | $230 - $400+ | 40-ft ladder + helper required |
Every price includes a full inspection of your eavestrough system. We check for sagging, loose brackets, leaking seams, and downspout blockages - all part of the service.
How Our Technicians Price Your Home
When you call us, we pull up your address on Google Maps and Google Earth right away. We can see the roof type, the number of stories, how many trees are around the house, and whether there are gutter guards. That means you get a fixed price over the phone - no hidden fees, no surprises when we show up.
Vitaly's Method
"Before we even drive out, I check Google Earth," says Vitaly, who has cleaned thousands of eavestroughs across the GTA. "I can see the roof shape, count the tree canopy, and spot gutter guards from the satellite view. If I see a lot of mature trees, especially maples and oaks, I know there will be heavy debris. Guards mean less work inside the channel, so the price comes down."
Vitaly also factors in the homeowner's situation. "For elderly couples on a fixed income, I try to find a price that works for them. They often become repeat customers twice a year, and that regular maintenance actually makes each visit faster."
Dmitriy's Method
"Google Earth shows me the roof pitch right away," says Dmitriy, who founded DT Cleaning over 10 years ago. "A walkable roof is straightforward. A steep pitch changes everything. It takes longer, you need more safety gear, and sometimes I bring a second person. But the customer knows the exact price before we arrive."
Dmitriy also evaluates the total gutter length and whether the system has multiple levels. "A two-story home where the upper gutters drain into lower gutters is a different job than a simple single-run system. We price based on actual work, not just square footage."
What Affects Your Final Price
The cost of eavestrough cleaning comes down to four things about your property. Here is how each one moves the price up or down.
Roof Pitch and Height
A walkable bungalow roof is the easiest job. Steep-pitched roofs on two-story homes require extension ladders, safety harnesses, and slower work. Three-story homes need a 40-foot ladder and a second technician, which is why those jobs start at $230 and go up from there.
Gutter Guards
If your home has gutter guards installed, you may not need cleaning at all for 5 years or more. Guards block leaves, seeds, and branches from entering the channel. The only exception is homes surrounded by coniferous trees - pine and spruce needles are thin enough to slip through most guard systems and will eventually build up. For homes with mostly deciduous trees, guards practically eliminate the need for regular cleaning.
Tree Coverage
Homes surrounded by mature trees, especially pine, maple, and oak, accumulate more debris. Pine needles are particularly problematic because they slip through most guard systems and create dense clogs. Heavy tree coverage can add $20 to $50 to the base price.
Number of Gutter Runs
Some two-story homes have eavestroughs on both the first and second floor. This effectively doubles the cleaning surface. A standard two-story with gutters only at the roofline costs $180 to $200, but a dual-level system runs around $230.
Additional Services and Costs
During every eavestrough cleaning, our crew inspects the entire system. If we find issues, we can fix most of them on the spot:
- Silicone sealant for leaking corners - $15 per corner
- Bracket replacement for sagging gutters - $15 per bracket
- Downspout unclogging - included in cleaning price
- System inspection - included, we do this on every job
Need a full eavestrough repair? We handle that too, from resealing joints to replacing damaged sections.
How to Save on Eavestrough Cleaning
Book in spring or early summer. Fall is when every homeowner calls at once, so you are competing for slots. Spring is easier to schedule.
Bundle your gutter cleaning with exterior window cleaning or power washing. You save on the trip charge, and we can knock out multiple jobs in one visit.
Consider leaf guard installation. It is a one-time cost, and most homeowners with guards skip cleaning entirely for 5+ years. The only homes that still need occasional maintenance are those with pine or spruce trees nearby.
Clean twice a year. Less buildup per visit means faster work and a lower bill. Most Toronto homes need it in late spring (after seed pods) and late fall (after leaf drop).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does eavestrough cleaning cost in Toronto?
Eavestrough cleaning in Toronto costs between $130 and $400+, depending on your home's size, roof pitch, and gutter system. A typical bungalow runs $130 to $170, a two-story home $180 to $230, and three-story properties $230 and up.
What is included in a gutter cleaning service?
We remove all debris from gutters by hand, flush and test every downspout, inspect the system for damage, and clean up whatever falls to the ground. Bracket checks and leak inspections are part of the price.
How often should I clean my eavestroughs in Toronto?
Most Toronto homes need cleaning twice a year. Once in late spring after tree seeds and blossoms fall, and once in late fall after the leaves drop. Homes with heavy tree coverage may need a third cleaning in midsummer.
Do gutter guards eliminate the need for cleaning?
In most cases, yes. Homes with properly installed gutter guards can go 5 years or more without cleaning. The exception is properties surrounded by coniferous trees like pine or spruce - their needles are thin enough to pass through guards and will eventually require maintenance.
Pricing and Service Details
Why does a steep roof cost more to clean?
Steep roofs require extension ladders, safety harnesses, and slower work. The technician cannot walk on the roof to access all sections, so every gutter run must be reached from the ladder. This adds time and requires extra safety precautions.
Can you clean three-story gutters?
Yes. We use 40-foot extension ladders and always send a two-person crew for three-story homes. Prices for three-story properties start at $230 and vary based on gutter length and accessibility.
Do you offer senior discounts?
We work with every customer to find a fair price. Our technicians evaluate the actual scope of work and adjust pricing accordingly. Repeat customers who book regular cleanings often see lower per-visit costs because there is less buildup each time.
What is the best time of year to clean gutters in Toronto?
Late spring (May to June) and late fall (October to November) are the two most important times. Spring cleaning removes seed pods, blossoms, and winter debris. Fall cleaning clears leaves before winter freezing can cause ice dams and water damage.
