Honest pricing for every type of Markham home. Newer builds, established neighbourhoods, and everything in between. Downspout flush included.
Markham has the most diverse housing stock in the GTA. You've got century homes on Main Street Unionville, 1990s detached in Berczy, and brand-new builds in Cornell and Wismer. Gutter cleaning pricing depends on home size, roof complexity, and debris level. Here's what it actually costs.
| Home Type | Linear Feet | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small bungalow / townhome | 40 to 100 ft | $149 to $189 |
| Standard bungalow / semi | 100 to 130 ft | $189 to $239 |
| 2-storey (3 bed) | 100 to 150 ft | $209 to $289 |
| 2-storey (4 to 5 bed) | 130 to 180 ft | $269 to $369 |
| Large / complex roof | 180+ ft | $369 to $419+ |
Here's something a lot of Markham homeowners don't realize. Many homes built after 2000 in areas like Cornell, Wismer, Cathedraltown, and Box Grove were fitted with 4-inch gutters instead of the standard 5-inch. Builders use them because they're cheaper and look sleeker on modern facades.
The problem: a 4-inch gutter holds roughly 40% less water than a 5-inch. It takes far less debris to block the flow. A handful of leaves that wouldn't cause any issue in a standard gutter can create a dam in a 4-inch system. Downspouts on newer homes are sometimes undersized too.
If your home was built in the last 20 years and you've never had the gutters cleaned, there's a good chance you already have buildup you can't see from the ground. Construction dust, shingle granules from the first few years of roof settling, and windblown debris accumulate faster than you'd think.
The other side of Markham is the established neighbourhoods. Unionville's tree-lined streets, Markham Village along Highway 7, and the older pockets near 16th Avenue and McCowan have mature trees and homes with standard or oversized gutter systems.
These areas deal with the classic problem: heavy leaf fall in October, pollen in spring, and branches from aging trees. If you're on a street in Unionville where the canopy meets over the road, your gutters fill up fast. Two cleanings per year is the minimum recommendation.
Some older Markham homes also have galvanized steel gutters that are more prone to rust when debris sits in them and holds moisture. Regular cleaning extends their life significantly.

| Damage Type | Repair Cost |
|---|---|
| Foundation crack repair | $5,000 to $15,000 |
| Basement waterproofing (after flooding) | $3,000 to $10,000 |
| Ice dam roof repair | $2,000 to $8,000 |
| Fascia and soffit replacement | $1,000 to $3,000 |
| Interior drywall/paint repair (water damage) | $500 to $3,000 |
| Landscape grading repair | $500 to $2,000 |
A $200 to $370 gutter cleaning prevents damage that costs 10 to 50 times more. And if you're still within your Tarion warranty period, keeping records of gutter maintenance protects you if you ever need to make a water-related claim.

Yes. In fact, newer homes often have more gutter buildup than owners expect. Shingle granules shed heavily in the first few years as the roof settles, and if there's been construction nearby, fine dust and particles accumulate fast. Combine that with 4-inch gutters and you've got a clogging risk most people don't see until there's a problem.
