Gutter Cleaning Cost Nashville, TN
Real pricing for 2026 based on our actual quotes across Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, and Brentwood. Broken down by home size, stories, suburb, and what different companies actually charge.
Gutter cleaning in Nashville, TN costs between $100 and $300 in 2026, with most standard homes falling in the $125 to $225 range. Single-story homes are on the lower end, two-story homes toward the upper end. Prices vary based on home size, roof pitch, number of stories, tree coverage, and how long since the last cleaning. Below is the detailed breakdown.
Nashville Gutter Cleaning Cost by Home Size
The single biggest factor in Nashville gutter cleaning pricing is home size, specifically the roof footprint. A larger roof means more linear feet of gutter and more downspouts to flush.
| Home Size | Single Story | Two Story |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft (small ranch, cottage) | $100 – $135 | $135 – $175 |
| 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft (standard home) | $125 – $175 | $160 – $225 |
| 2,500 to 3,500 sq ft (larger home) | $165 – $215 | $195 – $265 |
| 3,500 to 5,000 sq ft (large home) | $210 – $265 | $245 – $325 |
| Over 5,000 sq ft (executive homes) | $260 – $340 | $295 – $425 |
It is roof footprint, not total square footage
A 3,000 sq ft two-story home has roughly the same roof footprint as a 1,500 sq ft one-story home. The linear feet of gutter is what determines the cleaning time, not the total finished square footage. When quoting your home over the phone, we ask for the ground-floor footprint, not the total home size.
Nashville Gutter Cleaning Cost by Suburb
Pricing does not vary much across the Nashville metro area, but there are minor differences based on average home size and typical tree coverage per neighborhood.

| Franklin | $150 – $300 | Larger average homes, heavy pine coverage |
| Brentwood | $175 – $325 | Executive homes, heavy tree coverage |
| Murfreesboro | $125 – $225 | Newer construction, less mature canopy |
| Hendersonville | $140 – $240 | Mixed housing stock |
| Smyrna | $120 – $210 | Mostly newer construction |
| Spring Hill | $130 – $220 | Newer builds, larger footprints |

| Clarksville | $110 – $200 | Additional travel time may apply |
What Affects Nashville Gutter Cleaning Cost
1. Time since last cleaning
A gutter that was cleaned six months ago takes maybe 30 minutes to service. The same gutter that has not been cleaned in three years can take three hours because the debris has compacted into a solid mat and the downspouts are packed. Companies charge more when debris is heavy because the labor time is genuinely higher. Expect a $25 to $75 surcharge if it has been over two years.
2. Tree coverage
A home in Green Hills or Belle Meade with mature oak canopy accumulates far more debris than a home in newer Spring Hill construction. Some Nashville homeowners pay 30% more than a similar-sized home because their trees produce more work.
3. Roof pitch and height
Steep roofs and three-story homes require additional safety equipment and time. Standard 4/12 to 6/12 pitch roofs are baseline. Anything above 8/12 or over 25 feet at the eave adds cost.
4. Gutter guards installed
Cleaning gutters that have failed or failing guards costs more because we have to open guard sections to access the debris. Add $50 to $150 depending on how the guards are installed. This is one reason we recommend caution with guards in Nashville.
5. Downspout complexity
Standard downspouts that discharge directly to grade are quick to flush. Downspouts that connect to underground drain lines are more work because we cannot see if a blockage is in the visible portion or the buried line. Add $50 to $150 if underground drain snaking is needed.
6. Access issues
Homes with landscaping right against the foundation, decks over the gutter line, or fence lines that block ladder placement all take longer to work on. Minor access issues add nothing. Significant ones can add $50 to $100.
How Different Companies Price in Nashville
Three different pricing models are common in the Nashville market:
- Flat rate by home size. Most established Nashville gutter companies use this. Simplest for homeowners because you get a firm quote over the phone.
- Per linear foot of gutter. Ranges from $1 to $2.50 per foot in Nashville. Cheaper on paper for small homes but often adds up higher on larger homes with wraparound gutters.
- Time and materials. A few operators charge by the hour ($75 to $125 per hour for a two-person crew). We do not recommend this model as it incentivizes taking longer.
What Should Be Included in the Price
A legitimate Nashville gutter cleaning quote should include all of the following at the quoted price with no surprises:
- Hand removal of all debris from every foot of gutter
- Flushing of every downspout with water to confirm clear flow
- Visual inspection for damage, loose hangers, and seam issues
- Bagging and removal of all debris from the property
- Hose-down of driveway, walkways, and HVAC unit if debris landed there
- A verbal or written report of any issues found
- Basic satisfaction guarantee if the next rainstorm reveals a missed area
If a quote does not include the downspout flush or the debris haul-away, it is not a complete cleaning. Watch for these gaps when comparing prices.
Red Flags in Nashville Gutter Cleaning Quotes
- "Starting at" pricing without a home-specific quote. Get a firm number for your home before agreeing.
- Same-day pressure to book at a discount. Real companies do not need urgency tactics to close.
- Vague scope of work. If they cannot tell you what is included, they are not going to do it consistently.
- Cash-only or no invoice. Any legitimate contractor provides a written invoice and accepts standard payment methods.
- No proof of insurance. Anyone working at height on your property should carry liability insurance and be able to prove it.

National Averages vs Nashville Pricing
For reference, the Angi national average for gutter cleaning is around $160, and HomeAdvisor reports a range of $118 to $232 nationally. Nashville pricing sits close to that national average, slightly above the median because of the region's tree coverage and heavy pollen season.

Pricing FAQ
What Nashville homeowners ask about gutter cleaning pricing.
The average Nashville gutter cleaning cost is $150 for a standard single-story home and $200 for a standard two-story home. The range across all home sizes is $100 to $300, with most jobs falling between $125 and $225. Prices vary based on home size, roof pitch, number of stories, and how much debris has built up since the last cleaning.
Three main reasons. First, some companies price by linear foot of gutter (typically $1 to $2.50 per foot in Nashville) while others price by home size or a flat rate. Second, some prices exclude downspout clearing which can double the value of the job. Third, some quotes are for a dry blow-out only rather than a full water flush, which is much less thorough but cheaper. Ask what is included before comparing prices.
Sometimes, and sometimes not. A $99 rate is a real starting price for a small single-story home in Nashville. On a two-story 2,500 sq ft home it is often a bait-and-switch. Ask upfront: is that price for my specific home or a starting rate. Is a downspout flush included. What if you find damage. A legitimate low quote should hold once they see your home.
Yes. In Nashville the invisible debris is usually the real problem. Oak and cedar pollen paste, shingle grit, roof moss fragments, and compressed silt build up in gutters and downspouts even on homes with no visible leaves. This material blocks water flow the same way leaves do, but you cannot see it from the ground. A cleaning every fall in Nashville is not optional even for homes without heavy tree coverage.
Common Nashville add-ons: heavy debris surcharge if it has been over two years since the last cleaning ($25 to $75), gutter guard removal and reinstall if you have failed guards ($50 to $150), downspout snaking for deep clogs ($50 to $150), and roof debris removal if leaves have piled on the roof itself ($50 to $100). We disclose all possible extras during the phone quote so nothing is a surprise.
Nashville gutter repairs typically range from $150 for a simple seam reseal to $600 for a full section replacement. See our detailed breakdown on the gutter repair page. Small issues discovered during a routine cleaning can often be fixed on the same visit, which saves a separate service call fee.
Yes, but the difference is smaller than most people expect. A standard two-story Nashville home runs $25 to $75 more than an equivalent single-story home. Three-story or steep-pitch roofs may add another $50 to $100 because of the additional equipment and time required. Height matters more than square footage for pricing.
Slightly. December through February is the slowest season for Nashville gutter cleaning and some companies offer 10 to 15 percent off during this window. The trade-off is that a January cleaning gets you through spring, but you still need a fall cleaning after leaf drop. Most Nashville homeowners are better served by a spring and fall schedule than a winter discount.
