Find trusted gutter cleaners near you

Gutter cleaning is one of the most dangerous DIY jobs available. Working on a ladder is inherently risky if you're not correctly trained. A professional is trained in working at heights and will come prepared with a harness.

Depending on the Tasker you hire, it may be possible to clean and replace your gutters. Other cleaners won’t have the necessary skills or tools, but they can highlight areas where the gutters are cracked or need to be replaced.

Gutter guards can be a great tool to minimize the number of leaves, sticks, and other forms of natural debris falling in your gutters. They can also prevent animals, such as squirrels and birds, from making nests in your gutters. However, these are not 100% effective, as dirt and other small items can still get in your gutters, so you’ll still need to have them cleaned.

This depends on a few factors, such as how many trees there are around your property. Some homes need to have their gutters cleaned several times a year, while others can safely go two or three years between cleans.

Professional gutter cleaning on a moderate-sized home can take as little as one hour. This can take longer for inexperienced cleaners, large houses, and gutters that are overdue for a clean, but your cleaner should be able to give you an estimate when they see the extent of the job.

You generally do not need to be home for the gutter cleaning as long as the Tasker has clear access to the exterior of your property. Many homeowners prefer to be home for the initial walk-through, but it is not mandatory for the work to be completed.

Taskers will typically collect the debris from your gutters and dispose of it in your yard waste bin or green bin. If you don't have one, or have a large amount of debris, you can discuss disposal options or hauling with your Tasker when booking the job.

Yes, many professionals on Airtasker have the necessary ladders and safety equipment to clean gutters on two- or three-story homes. Be sure to specify the height of your roof and any accessibility issues in your task description to attract a Tasker with the right equipment.
