Real pricing from real companies. What Toronto homeowners actually pay in 2026, broken down by home size, height, and neighbourhood.
The short answer: most Toronto homeowners pay $150 to $300 for a professional gutter cleaning. The exact price depends on how much gutter you have, how tall your home is, and how much debris has built up.
| Home Type | Gutter Length | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bungalow (1 storey) | 60 to 100 linear ft | $129 to $179 |
| 2-storey, small (3 bed) | 80 to 130 linear ft | $159 to $219 |
| 2-storey, standard (4 bed) | 100 to 160 linear ft | $179 to $269 |
| 2-storey, large (5+ bed) | 150 to 220 linear ft | $249 to $349 |
| 3-storey home | 150 to 280 linear ft | $279 to $449 |
| Estate / multi-wing | 250+ linear ft | $399 to $599 |
Toronto average: $200 to $250 for a standard 2-storey home. This is based on current 2026 pricing from established companies operating in the GTA.
This is the biggest factor. A small semi-detached in the Danforth has 60-80 feet of gutter. A large detached in Lawrence Park has 200+. More gutter = more time = higher price. Most companies charge $1.25 to $2.00 per linear foot.
2-storey homes are standard pricing. 3-storey homes cost 15-25% more because of additional ladder setups, safety equipment, and time. Bungalows are often cheaper because everything is accessible from a short ladder or even from the ground.
Light debris (dust and some leaves) is standard. If your gutters are packed solid — compressed leaves, silt buildup, plant growth — it takes significantly longer. Some companies charge extra for heavy debris. We don't — the price covers whatever we find.
Simple roofs with straight gutter runs are fast. Homes with dormers, valleys, bay windows, and multiple roof levels have more gutter sections in more hard-to-reach spots. Expect to pay more for complex rooflines.
Aluminum gutters (most common): standard pricing. Copper gutters: 15-20% premium because they require hand cleaning with soft tools to protect the patina. Never let someone use metal scoops on copper.
Per-foot pricing is the same everywhere. But homes in different neighbourhoods tend to be different sizes:
| Neighbourhood | Typical Home | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Highland Creek | 3-4 bed detached | $179 to $269 |
| Scarborough (general) | 3-4 bed mixed | $159 to $249 |
| Leaside | 4-5 bed detached | $199 to $299 |
| Lawrence Park | 4-5 bed estate | $199 to $399 |
| Forest Hill | 5+ bed estate | $219 to $449 |
| The Kingsway | 4-5 bed detached | $209 to $399 |
| Markham | 4-5 bed detached | $179 to $299 |
When comparing quotes, make sure these are included — not charged extra:
Twice a year for most Toronto homes:
Homes with heavy tree coverage (Lawrence Park, Forest Hill, The Kingsway, Highland Creek near ravines) may benefit from a third cleaning in mid-summer.
DIY is fine if: You have a single-storey home, own a stable ladder, and are comfortable working at 8-10 feet. Budget $20-30 for a gutter scoop and garden hose attachment.
Hire a pro if: Your home is 2+ storeys, you don't own a proper extension ladder, your roof has complex angles, or you have any mobility or balance concerns. Ladder falls are the #1 cause of serious homeowner injuries in Canada. A $200 gutter cleaning is cheaper than one emergency room visit.
The cost of NOT cleaning gutters far exceeds the cost of cleaning them:
A $200 gutter cleaning twice a year ($400/year) prevents all of these. It's one of the highest-ROI home maintenance tasks you can do.
