How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost in Nashville?
Gutter cleaning costs about $150–$400 for many one- and two-story Nashville homes. Smaller or simpler houses can come in under that, and large, tall, heavily wooded, guarded, or complicated homes usually run $350–$600 or more. Homes vary, so treat these as planning numbers until someone measures your gutters.

What does it cost in my part of the Nashville area?
Here is what a typical home costs across several familiar areas, based on the kind of house that is common in each one.
| Area and representative home | Likely gutter length | Planning price | Main reasons it can change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Donelson — one-story ranch or Minimal Traditional, around 1,600 sq. ft., established mid-century housing, 43% canopy across the larger planning area | About 90–170 ft. | About $150–$250 | Roof shape, porches, additions, separate structures, and actual tree overhang |
| Madison — one-story ranch or cottage, around 1,600 sq. ft., established housing and 42% planning-area canopy | About 90–170 ft. | About $150–$250 | Cape Cod roof transitions, additions, separate structures, and actual overhang |
| Mount Juliet — two-story home around 2,700 sq. ft., mixed ranch, Traditional, and Craftsman housing | About 90–160 ft. | About $200–$400 | A one-story layout has a larger footprint; roof complexity, height, and tree exposure vary |
| Franklin — two-story home around 3,300 sq. ft., older and newer houses with gabled, hipped, and complex roofs | About 100–170 ft. | About $200–$400 | Porches, complex roofs, one-story layouts, accessory structures, and access |
| Brentwood — large rambler or large two-story home around 3,700 sq. ft. | About 100–260 ft. | About $350–$600+ | Footprint, multiple roof sections, height, access, guards, and actual tree overhang |
Your own house can land above or below the row that looks closest to it. Two homes on the same street with the same square footage can carry very different amounts of gutter.
What do Nashville gutter cleaning companies charge?
Three companies serving Nashville publish prices, and they arrive at those numbers in different ways.
| Company | Published price | Basis | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean Pro Gutter Cleaning | $249–$499 Nashville home-type examples | A property quote starts with actual gutter linear footage measured by satellite; Clean Pro says it supplies a firm quote in about 15 minutes | The displayed prices are examples; the property quote follows the measured gutter system and job conditions |
| Ned Stevens | $183 small home, $267 medium home, $365 large home | Published average one-time prices organized by home size | Ned Stevens says individual job prices vary; these are company averages, not guaranteed Nashville prices |
| APS Window & Gutter Cleaning | $149 Nashville promotion, reduced from $179 | Displayed promotion for homes up to 4,000 sq. ft. | Full exclusions and expiration were not stated in the reviewed text, so availability has to be checked |
Clean Pro suits a homeowner who wants a real number for their own house before booking anything. Because the quote starts from the actual gutter linear footage measured off satellite imagery rather than a size category, and because Clean Pro says it returns a firm quote in about 15 minutes, you can find out what your specific gutter system costs in the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee.
Ned Stevens suits a homeowner who just wants a budgeting reference. Its small, medium, and large figures are averages across the company's work, so they answer "roughly what should I expect to spend" quickly, without telling you what your house costs.
APS suits a homeowner whose house looks like it fits under the 4,000 sq. ft. limit and who wants to see whether the current promotion applies. Since the promotion is a displayed offer with unstated exclusions, the useful step is calling to confirm it is still running and that your home qualifies.
What makes one home cost more than another?
Price follows how much gutter you have and how hard it is to reach safely. The main factors are:
Total gutter length is the foundation. A single-story ranch spread across a wide footprint can easily carry more gutter than a two-story house with more living space inside it.
Height and access come next. Second and third stories, steep terrain, decks, landscaping, and tight side yards all change what equipment is required and how long the work takes.
Roof layout adds up quickly. Dormers, multiple gables, wrapping porches, room additions, attached garages, and detached structures each add runs of gutter and more edges to work around.
Trees over the roof matter more than trees in the neighborhood. Metro Nashville reports 56% tree canopy countywide, but its planning areas range from 8% to 75% — which is why the honest question is not how green Nashville is, but what is actually hanging over your roofline and how much of it comes down.
Gutter guards can go either way. Some systems open easily and barely change the job; others have to be removed and reinstalled, which is real labor and shows up in the price.
What should be included in the quote?
A complete quote covers the whole job, not just scooping the troughs. Check that it states:
- every section of gutter being cleaned, including garages, porches, and detached structures;
- downspouts cleared and flushed, not just the gutters emptied;
- debris hauled away, with the ground, roof, and landscaping left clean;
- photos or a condition report showing the work and anything that looked wrong up there;
- whether the number is firm or an estimate that can change on arrival; and
- what happens to the price if the crew finds conditions the quote did not account for.
How do I compare two or three quotes?
Compare the scope first, then the number — a lower price for less work is not a lower price.
- Give every company the same information: address, story count, and anything unusual like guards, detached buildings, or difficult access.
- Ask each one how it arrived at the figure — a measurement of your gutters, a home-size category, or a flat promotion.
- Line up the inclusions above side by side and note what any quote leaves out.
- Ask whether the price is firm or subject to change once the crew is on site.
- Pick the quote where you know exactly what you are buying and what it costs.
Is gutter cleaning priced per foot, and does it include repairs?
Most Nashville companies quote a flat price for the job rather than charging you by the foot, but footage still drives that flat price when the company measures your gutters instead of sorting your house into a size bracket. That is the difference worth asking about: a measured quote reflects your actual roofline, while a size-based or promotional price reflects a category your house may or may not fit.
Cleaning and repair are separate. A standard cleaning removes debris and clears the downspouts; resealing joints, refastening loose sections, correcting pitch, or replacing damaged gutter is additional work that has to be quoted on its own. A good cleaning company will document what it found and let you decide, rather than adding repairs to the invoice after the fact.
