Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians, and clearing eavestroughs means ladder work at roof height. A cleaning costs about the same as a nice dinner out, twice a year.
Book the spring visit after the trees finish dropping seeds and the fall visit once most leaves are down. If you live in another city, pick a company that sends before and after photos, so you can see the work was done.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does eavestrough cleaning cost in Ontario?
- About $150 to $350 a visit for most homes in 2026: roughly $150 to $175 for a bungalow and $185 to $300 for a two-storey detached home in Toronto, and $150 to $250 for a bungalow and $200 to $350 for a two-storey in Ottawa, based on published local price guides. Large and estate homes cost more.
- How often should a parent's eavestroughs be cleaned?
- Twice a year for most homes, in late spring and late fall. A home under tall trees may need a third visit, and one with few trees nearby can sometimes manage with one.
- Do gutter guards mean no more cleaning?
- No. Guards cut down on cleanings, but they still need a yearly check. Installed aluminum guards run about $7 to $9 or more per foot in Toronto, according to one 2026 price guide.
- Is this calculator's estimate a quote?
- No. It uses published 2026 Toronto and Ottawa price ranges before HST. A real quote depends on the roofline, how much debris has built up and whether downspouts are blocked, so get two or three quotes.
- Is my information saved?
