Gutter Cleaning Cost
Vancouver, BC (2026)

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Vancouver?

Most single-family homes in Vancouver pay $150 to $350 for a standard gutter cleaning. Most Lower Mainland companies charge $1.00 to $2.50 per linear foot, and the rate climbs on two- and three-storey homes where ladder work takes longer. Heavy maple, cedar and fir debris pushes a job toward the top of that range.

Gutter cleaning prices by house size

Gutter cleaning in Vancouver is priced primarily by the linear footage of gutter on your home, the number of storeys (which determines ladder and safety requirements), and the current debris load. Most companies in the Lower Mainland charge between $1.00 and $2.50 per linear foot, with the rate rising for two- and three-storey homes where ladder work takes longer. A typical home has 100 to 200 linear feet of gutter. Most single-family homes fall within these ranges:

These ranges assume a standard clean, with gutters maintained on a regular schedule and one or two seasons of debris. Gutters that have not been cleaned in three or more years, or properties with heavy conifer coverage that fill faster, may fall at or above the higher end.

Gutter cleaning rates per linear foot

Gutter cleaning rates in the Lower Mainland run $1.00 to $2.50 per linear foot for houses and $2 to $4 per linear foot for commercial buildings. A typical home has 100 to 200 linear feet of gutter. Storeys move the rate most, because taller ladder setups and fall protection take more time on site.

How much does it cost to clean gutters?

Cleaning gutters on a typical two-storey Vancouver house costs $200 to $300, and a one-storey rancher under 80 linear feet runs $150 to $200. A townhouse unit in a strata is $75 to $150. Gutters left alone for two or more winters cost more, because the wet debris has packed down.

What Affects the Price

Home size and linear footage is the single biggest driver. A large two-storey home on a corner lot can have 50% more linear footage than a compact detached — and that translates directly into price.

Number of storeys matters because each additional storey requires taller ladders and additional safety setup. North Shore properties with steep terrain and difficult roof access add further to labour time.

Debris load affects how long each job takes. A home that was cleaned six months ago in a low-debris environment will take significantly less time than a home that sits under large maples and hasn't been serviced in two years.

Location within the Lower Mainland can affect pricing slightly. North Vancouver and West Vancouver properties typically command a small premium due to terrain. Surrey and Richmond properties are often at the lower end for accessible single-family homes.

What Should Be Included in Any Quote

A legitimate gutter cleaning quote should always include:

• Interior debris removal from all gutter sections
• Downspout flushing — confirmed clear before technician leaves
• All debris removed from property (not left in garden beds)
• Service by a licensed, insured technician using proper fall protection

If a quote does not include downspout flushing or debris removal from site, it is not a complete service — and those corners are most often cut on unusually cheap quotes.

Eavestrough cleaning cost in Vancouver

Eavestrough cleaning costs the same as gutter cleaning in Vancouver, because eavestrough is the Canadian word for the same job. Most single-family homes pay $150 to $350, set by linear footage, storeys and debris load. See how the work is done in our guide to eavestrough cleaning in Vancouver.

Eavestrough cleaning and gutter cleaning are the same service. Eavestrough is the Canadian term used widely in BC. The pricing is identical to the table above — the word used does not change the scope or the cost.

Cost by City in the Lower Mainland

While pricing varies by property rather than strictly by city, these are general tendencies based on typical home sizes and terrain in each area:
