Our free gutter cost calculator covers both services. In the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, gutter cleaning runs about $1.20 per linear foot with a $125 minimum — roughly $150–$250 for most homes. Gutter installation runs $5–$28 per linear foot depending on material, so replacing 150 feet of gutters costs about $1,200 in aluminum.
Home height is the biggest multiplier for both services: two-story homes add about 20% and three-story homes 40%, because everything takes longer from a taller ladder. Clogged, neglected gutters also cost more to clean — up to 50% for heavy debris.

Most homes cost $150–$250 to clean, based on about $1.20 per linear foot with a $125 minimum. Two-story homes, heavy debris, and existing gutter guards all add to the price.
Between $5 and $28 per linear foot installed depending on material. A typical 150-foot replacement in seamless aluminum with four downspouts runs about $1,500 in the DMV area; copper can exceed $4,000.
Twice a year — late spring and late fall — for most homes. Houses under mature trees may need quarterly cleanings, while homes with quality gutter guards can often go annually.
If you run a gutter or exterior cleaning business, $1–$1.50 per linear foot with a $100–$150 minimum is the competitive range in most metro markets, with story and debris surcharges on top — the same model this calculator uses.
