Eavestrough cleaning in Canada is published between $100 and $500 per visit, priced by house size or storey count rather than by square footage. A Toronto cleaner publishes $150–$175 for a one-storey bungalow rising to $350–$500 for a four-storey home. Some Canadian pages still quote $75–$200, off a page dated 2016.
The staleness in that last sentence is the whole problem with eavestrough pricing in Canada. Search "eavestrough cleaning cost" in Canada right now and page one hands you a price list from 2016 and another from 2018, sitting above companies quoting current rates that are double them. So you call three companies armed with a decade-old number, decide everyone is ripping you off, put it off another autumn — and the water that should be running down a downspout spends one more winter freezing against your fascia.

How much does eavestrough cleaning cost in Canada?
Eavestrough cleaning in Canada is priced by the number of storeys, because height decides the ladder work, the equipment and the crew. The table below is one Toronto cleaning company's published ladder — the clearest storey-by-storey price list on the Canadian market, and the format worth taking into any quote conversation.
Other Canadian publishers price the same work differently, and the table below shows the three main pricing units side by side rather than blending them into one misleading average.
Why do published eavestrough cleaning prices in Canada contradict each other?
Published Canadian eavestrough prices contradict each other for two reasons, and only one of them is honest. The honest reason is the pricing unit: a per-storey price, a per-linear-foot rate and a per-square-footage price describe the same job in three units that cannot be compared without measuring your own house. The dishonest reason is age. Some of the numbers ranking on page one in 2026 were published years ago and never revisited.
Two separate .ca websites — different companies, different countries of incorporation, different phone numbers — publish the identical ladder: $75 to $200 for a single-storey 1,500-square-foot house, and $95 to $225 for a 2,000-square-foot home. One of those pages carries an April 2016 byline. A third page, from an Edmonton company, is dated December 2018. All three still rank.
The consequence is precise and it costs you a quote. A Toronto cleaner's current published price for a one-storey bungalow starts at $150, while the recycled figure for the same house starts at $75. Anyone quoting you $75 today is either working from a decade-old page or planning to find the rest of the money once the ladder is up.
How much should you expect to pay for gutter cleaning on a two-storey Canadian home?
A two-storey Canadian home is published at $175 to $497 for a single eavestrough cleaning, depending on which unit the company prices in. A Toronto cleaner publishes $175–$200 for a two-storey semi-detached and $185–$250 for a two-storey detached. An Edmonton company published $297–$497 for a two-storey 2,500-square-foot home with 200 feet of gutters, on a page dated 2018.
If a company prices by measurement rather than by storey, the arithmetic is worth doing yourself before the call. A Toronto roofing company publishes $1.00 to $2.50 per linear foot, so 200 feet of eavestrough works out at $200 to $500 on that rate. Measure your run once, keep the number, and every future quote becomes checkable in ten seconds.
How often should eavestroughs be cleaned in Canada?
Canadian eavestroughs need clearing before winter, because the freeze is what turns a blocked gutter into a repair bill. An Alberta company names the mechanism directly: standing water in blocked gutters leads to ice damming in winter and roof rot in warmer months. Water that cannot reach a downspout runs over the lip, down the fascia and toward the foundation instead.
Canadian demand for eavestrough cleaning peaks in autumn rather than in spring for exactly that reason, and the price rises with neglect rather than with time. A Toronto roofing company prices heavily clogged gutters at $500 to $650 or more — roughly triple the $150 to $175 published for a routine one-storey bungalow clean. Skipping one autumn is not saving $150. A skipped autumn clean defers a $500 eavestrough job by a year.
What eavestrough cleaning quotes should Canadian homeowners refuse?
Eavestrough cleaning is a low-ticket service sold door to door in October, which makes it the easiest home service in Canada to underprice on the phone and reprice on the ladder. Refuse all five of the following.
🚩 Five eavestrough quote red flags in Canada
- A price below $100 for a whole house. Published Canadian floors run from $100 for a small Alberta bungalow to $150 for a one-storey Toronto bungalow. A number below both, or quoted with no house size attached, is a door-opener rather than a price.
- A quote given without asking how many storeys you have. The Toronto storey ladder runs from $150 for one storey to $500 for four. A company that does not ask has not quoted.
- "Clogged gutter" surcharges named on the day. Heavily clogged gutters are published at $500 to $650+, so ask what triggers that rate before booking, not once someone is on your roof.
- No mention of downspouts. Clearing troughs while leaving the downspouts blocked leaves the water exactly where it was.
- No proof of workers' compensation coverage for ladder work. Ask for the provincial workers' compensation clearance — in Ontario, a WSIB clearance certificate — and written confirmation of who pays if a worker is hurt on your property.
✅ Six questions before you book an eavestrough cleaner in Canada
- Give the number of storeys and ask for the total in writing before the visit.
- Ask whether the price is per storey, per linear foot or per square footage — the three are not comparable.
- Ask whether downspouts are flushed and cleared, or only the troughs.
- Ask what the surcharge is if the gutters turn out to be heavily clogged, and what counts as heavily clogged.
- Ask for the provincial workers' compensation clearance certificate.
- Ask for photos of the cleared troughs and the downspout outlets when the work is done.
How do you compare eavestrough cleaning quotes in Canada without paying lead fees?
On a $200 job, a lead fee is not a rounding error — it is a visible slice of the price. Lead-generation directories charge the contractor for the introduction, sell the same homeowner's request to several companies at once, and collect the fee whether the contractor wins the work or loses it. Contractors do not absorb that lead fee on a low-ticket service — they price it into your eavestrough cleaning quote, or they cut the job short to protect the margin.
TaskRight breaks that mechanic on purpose. Pros pay a flat subscription and nothing else — zero commission, so the price you agree is the amount the cleaner keeps, and nobody has to shave twenty minutes off your downspouts to pay for the introduction.
TaskRight is a verified, zero-commission home services platform in Canada. Tell us your storeys and your postal code, compare eavestrough cleaning quotes side by side, and book before the first freeze — free, with no obligation to hire any of them.

Frequently asked questions about eavestrough cleaning cost in Canada
How much should you expect to pay for gutter cleaning?
Gutter cleaning in Canada is published between $100 and $500 per visit. An Alberta exterior-cleaning company publishes a small-bungalow floor of $100, a Toronto cleaning company publishes $150 to $175 for a one-storey bungalow and $350 to $500 for a four-storey home, and a Toronto roofing company publishes $150 to $350 as its typical range.
What is the average cost of eavestrough cleaning in Canada?
No single average is safe to quote for eavestrough cleaning in Canada, because publishers price in three different units. Toronto companies publish $150 to $350 per visit. An Alberta company publishes $150 to $250 for a mid-size home and $250 to $350 for a large custom home. Per-linear-foot pricing runs $1.00 to $2.50.
How often should eavestroughs be cleaned?
Canadian eavestroughs should be cleared before winter arrives, because an Alberta company names the mechanism plainly: standing water in blocked gutters leads to ice damming in winter and roof rot in warmer months. Neglect also raises the price, with heavily clogged gutters published at $500 to $650 or more.
Is professional gutter cleaning worth it?
Professional gutter cleaning is worth it in Canada when the alternative is ladder work at two or three storeys in October. A routine Toronto clean is published at $150 to $175 for a bungalow, against $500 to $650 or more once gutters are heavily clogged, so the cost of waiting is roughly triple the cost of booking.
What are the signs that gutters need cleaning?
The signs that Canadian eavestroughs need cleaning are water spilling over the lip during rain, water running down the fascia instead of the downspout, standing water sitting in the trough, and ice forming along the roof edge in winter. An Alberta company links that standing water directly to ice damming and roof rot.
Why do some Canadian websites quote $75 for eavestrough cleaning?
Some Canadian pages quoting $75 to $200 are old. Two separate .ca websites publish that identical ladder, and one carries an April 2016 byline while a third page dates from December 2018. A Toronto cleaner's current published price for the same one-storey bungalow starts at $150.
What is the little known trick for cleaning gutters?
The trick Canadian eavestrough cleaners rarely volunteer is downspout flushing. An Alberta company states plainly that not all companies flush the downspouts with water pressure, though it is essential, and a Toronto cleaning company includes downspout flushing in every visit. A Toronto roofing company adds a second: booking soffit and fascia work on the same visit saves both time and money.
Last updated: August 2026. Methodology: every CAD price in the tables on this page is published by a named Canadian business on its own website, attributed by role and province — a Toronto cleaning company, a Toronto roofing company, an Alberta exterior-cleaning company and an Edmonton cleaning company, all four independent businesses with separate contact details. The recycled $75 to $200 and $95 to $225 ladder is quoted only as evidence of stale pricing, is published by a US-incorporated company and a Winnipeg business, and appears in no table here. Figures are advertised Canadian prices, not TaskRight quote data, and not a quote for your home. Source dates are stated wherever a page carries one, and no price on this page is labelled with a year, because the dates do not agree with the prices: the two recycled ladders sit on a page bylined April 2016 and an Edmonton page bylined December 2018; the Toronto storey ladder sits on a page whose own structured data gives a publication date of November 2024; and the Toronto roofing page contradicts itself, showing a visible byline of January 2026 against a publication date of August 2025 in its own structured data. Prices are re-checked every six months.
