Straight numbers first: professional gutter cleaning in the Nashville area runs $150–$250 for single-story homes and $200–$400 for two-story homes — full service, meaning every downspout water-tested and all debris hauled away. Below is the honest breakdown of where in that range your home lands and why, so no quote (including ours) ever surprises you.

What Nashville Homeowners Actually Pay
Rule-of-thumb math: the industry averages about a dollar per foot of gutter, and Middle Tennessee homes typically carry 150–300 feet. Brentwood’s big footprints are why its quotes trend high — more feet, more height, more valleys.
The Five Things That Set Your Price
1. Height. One story vs. two is the biggest single jump; steep pitches and three-story walls add from there. It’s ladder time, not mystery.
2. Footage. A sprawling Brentwood roofline can carry twice the gutter of a Donelson ranch.
3. How long it’s been. Maintained gutters clean fast. Two skipped years under hackberries and maples means compacted, heavy debris that comes out by the handful — first-time cleanings on neglected homes are always the expensive ones.
4. Guards. Systems with gutter guards run $200–$450 because sections must be opened per the manufacturer’s design and reseated properly.
5. Access. Slopes, fences, pool cages, landscaping under the drip line — anything that complicates ladder placement nudges the number.
Reading a Cheap Quote Like a Pro
Nashville sees plenty of $89–$120 gutter “specials.” Before comparing, ask three questions: Do you flush and water-test every downspout? (The downspout is where overflow problems actually live — a cleaning that skips it treats the symptom and leaves the disease. See our downspout page for why.) Does the debris leave with you or stay in my yard? A blower pass that relocates the mess to your beds isn’t a service. Are you insured for roof work? If a crew member falls at an uninsured job, that becomes the homeowner’s problem. The honest price for doing all three properly is the range at the top of this page — quotes far below it are usually skipping one.
How to Pay Less (Legitimately)
Get on a schedule. Spring + late-fall service keeps every visit quick, which keeps every visit cheap — recurring customers sit at the bottom of the range. Bundle. Small repairs and roof clearing cost less done during a cleaning than as separate trips. Don’t wait for the overflow. The most expensive call we get is “water’s coming into the basement” — by then the cleaning comes with damage that a $200 visit would have prevented.
Nashville Price List
These are the numbers we actually quote. A firm price comes after we look at the property, but you should not have to call a stranger to find out whether something costs $150 or $1,500.
| Service | Typical range | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Gutter cleaning — single story | $150 – $250 | Full clear, downspouts flushed and verified, debris removed |
| Gutter cleaning — two story | $200 – $400 | As above, with reach and ladder work for upper runs |
| Gutter cleaning — large or estate | $350 – $600+ | Long or multi-level rooflines, quoted after a look |
| Guarded system service | $200 – $450 | Guards removed, trough cleared, guards refitted |
| Roof debris removal (bundled) | +$50 – $125 | Valleys, chimney crickets and eaves, done before the gutters |
| Roof debris removal (standalone) | $125 – $350 | Depends on pitch and story count |
| Standalone downspout call | $95 – $175 | When the gutters themselves do not need doing |
| Seam or end cap reseal | $45 – $95 per joint | On sound metal — we will not seal over rust |
| Re-hang a sagging section | $75 – $200 | Depends on run length and fascia condition |
| Spikes swapped for hidden hangers | $8 – $15 per hanger | Best-value repair on most pre-1985 Nashville homes |
| Gutter face brightening | $100 – $200 | Removes the black tiger-striping on the outside face |
| Commercial | Quoted per property | Written scope and fixed price before work starts |
These ranges reflect typical Middle Tennessee homes and are a guide only, not a quote. The firm number comes after we have looked at the roofline.
Ranges assume typical Middle Tennessee homes in normal condition. Heavy debris, difficult access or unusually long rooflines push toward the upper end — and we tell you that when we quote, not when we invoice.
Bundles, and Why They Cost Less
Most of what you pay for on a small job is setup: getting here, moving ladders, protecting beds, hauling debris and packing up. That cost is the same whether we do one thing or three, which is why bundling genuinely saves money rather than being a sales device.
| Bundle | Typical range | Versus separate visits |
|---|---|---|
| Gutters + roof debris | $225 – $475 | Saves roughly $40 – $90 |
| Gutters + minor repairs | $225 – $500 | Saves a separate trip charge entirely |
| Gutters + downspout extensions | $200 – $400 | Cheapest foundation protection available |
| Twice-yearly scheduled service | 10–15% below single visit | Booked ahead, no chasing |
These ranges reflect typical Middle Tennessee homes and are a guide only, not a quote. The firm number comes after we have looked at the roofline.
What Is Not Included
- Fascia and soffit repair. We show you the rot; a carpenter fixes it.
- Full gutter replacement. We repair and maintain. When replacement is the right call we say so and step back.
- Buried drain line excavation. We can tell you whether it flows and where it stops. Digging is a drainage contractor.
- Roof repairs. We flag lifted shingles and failing boots. Fixing them is a roofer.
- Gutter guard sales or installation. Deliberately — see cleaning vs. guards.
Nashville Gutter Cleaning Cost FAQs
Why is my neighbor’s quote different from mine?
Height, footage, debris load, guards, and access. Two houses on the same street can legitimately be $150 apart — which is why we quote from your specific address, not a flyer price.
Do you charge to come out and quote?
No — text your address and we’ll quote most homes the same day without a visit.
Is there a cheaper season?
Late fall is peak demand. Booking spring or summer sometimes saves a little, but staying on a schedule saves more than timing the market ever will.
Do landlords get portfolio pricing?
Yes — multi-property scheduling with photo documentation per job. Common for Murfreesboro and MTSU-area rentals.
What does neglect actually cost?
Fascia rot, crawlspace moisture, and foundation-line erosion all start at a clogged gutter. Repair bills run 10–50x the cleaning that would have prevented them — the range on this page is the cheap option.
Is the quote fixed or an estimate?
Fixed. Once we have seen the property, the number we give you is what you pay. If we find something genuinely unexpected we stop and talk to you before doing anything that changes it.
Do you charge for quotes?
No, and there is no obligation attached. Most go out the same day.
Do you need a deposit?
Not for residential work. You pay when the job is done and you have had a look at it.
Why is my quote above the published range?
Usually linear footage, height or debris load. Brentwood and Belle Meade homes in particular have more roofline than the square footage suggests. Whatever the reason, we will tell you which one it is.
Do you price-match a cheaper quote?
No. We would rather explain what is different about the two jobs. If someone is genuinely offering the same scope with the same care for less, take it.
Is there a minimum charge?
In practice, yes — a very small single job still carries full setup cost. It is usually worth adding roof debris or a downspout check rather than booking the smallest possible visit.
What payment do you take?
Card, check or bank transfer on completion. Commercial accounts can be invoiced on terms.
Is it cheaper if I am on a schedule?
Yes, roughly 10 to 15% below single-visit pricing. Maintained gutters never reach the hard stage, so the visits are quicker.
