How Long Does Gutter Cleaning Take?
Updated
Short answer
One to two hours for seamless gutters and two to three hours for seamed gutters on a typical home, by Angi. Clean Pro's Rockford page lists 60 to 90 minutes for a single-story home, 2 to 3 hours for two stories and 3 to 5 for larger multi-level homes.
What adds time
- Height: every ladder move takes longer on a second story.
- Packed, wet debris that has to be scooped and bagged in many loads.
- Guards that must be lifted and refastened.
- Downspouts that have to be taken apart to clear.
- Tricky access: decks, steep slopes, landscaping against the house.
Do you need to be home?
Usually not, as long as the crew can reach every side and an outdoor faucet. Be reachable by phone in case they find something that needs your OK.
