Illustration for What Gutter Brightening Costs, Flat Fee or by the Foot

Eight flat brightening prices, lowest first

Company (market) Price on its page What the page says it covers, or leaves open
Mr Pressure Complete Restoration Services (Atlanta, GA) “Gutter whitening” $75 to $200 One line on a soft-wash price list, with pricing confirmed by an expert after booking
Elite Soft Wash (Maryland) $100-$250 standalone Gutter faces, downspouts, fascia and trim, and “less bundled with a house wash”
Richie’s Pro Wash (Savannah, GA) from $120 “Gutter exterior cleaning”, “Oxidation removal”, “Downspout cleaning”
ClearPeak Exterior (Denver, CO) from 149 Stripe removal on the outside of gutters; the card prints the number without a dollar sign
Rocklin Gutter Guard (Rocklin, CA) “Brightening only” $150–$300 Quoted against its “Typical Rocklin Home (150–200 LF)”; full service plus wax is $300–$500
Southern Pro Exteriors (Nashville, TN) from $175 A per-foot rate carrying a $175 minimum, so small runs pay the minimum
Blue Whale Power Wash (Charlotte, NC) from $225 “Surface pre-treatment”, “Gutters and downspout scrubbing”, “Final rinse”
Sunshine Aqua Wash (Palmetto, FL) from $250 Gutters and fascia together, priced on footage, fascia amount, access and height

Read the wording as carefully as the number. Southern Pro also appears in the per-foot table below, because its $175 is the minimum on a per-foot rate. Five of the eight print a single “from” or “starting at” figure and three print a range, and one of those wants a booking before an expert confirms the exact price.

Four per-foot rates on 120, 160 and 220 ft of gutter

Four of the eleven print a per-foot rate instead, one of them as a general guideline. Every total below is our arithmetic on the rate the page prints, at the gutter lengths our size presets use.

Company (market) Rate on its page 120 ft 160 ft 220 ft
Pro Pressure Washing Solutions (Roanoke, VA) brightening is “often priced at around $1.00 per linear foot”, a general guideline rather than its own price $120 $160 $220
Southern Pro Exteriors (Nashville, TN) $1.75 a foot, $175 minimum $210 $280 $385
Valentine Roofing (Seattle, WA) $1.75 a foot, add-on only $210 $280 $385
Stegmeier Pressure Washing (Arlington, TX) $2.50 a foot $300 $400 $550

At 160 ft the per-foot cards land at $160 to $400, and three of the four come to $280 or more, above every flat starting price in the first table. So on a long run a per-foot quote tends to be the higher of the two pricing styles, and a short run priced by the foot can land near a flat fee once a minimum kicks in. Measured gutter length is the number that decides it, and you can count your run from the ground or ask the washer for the footage they priced; what one gutter cleaning costs, by story shows how the same measurement works on the cleaning side.

Booked with a house wash or on its own

Brightening is cheapest when it rides along with work you were already booking. A Rocklin, California gutter company’s own comparison puts its “Brightening only” price at $150–$300, then lists the add-on version as +$75–$150 once a crew is there for the cleaning, and full service plus wax at $300–$500. A Maryland soft-wash page words it the same way: $100-$250 on its own, “less bundled with a house wash”, and most customers bundle. A Seattle roofer’s card sells the service only “as an addition to any roof or gutter cleaning” and takes 10% off once three services are booked. A Palmetto, Florida page ties its final figure to whether brightening is “bundled with additional exterior cleaning”.

That makes the order of booking matter more than the rate. If a house wash is already on your calendar, ask for the brightening line before you agree to the total, and read how often to clean gutters, and what each schedule costs if you would rather attach it to a gutter visit you book anyway.

Clean faces, not new paint: where brightening stops

Brightening restores a surface; it does not repaint one. A Palmetto, Florida page calls the work “a restoration cleaning service, not repainting” and warns that badly oxidized paint “may have permanent discoloration that cleaning cannot reverse”, which is why the crew inspects first and explains “what results you can reasonably expect”. A Rocklin gutter company puts a number on the alternative: heavily chalked gutters are a repainting job at $3–$6 per linear foot, or $480 to $960 across 160 ft, or a replacement. Against either, a $150–$300 brightening is the inexpensive first attempt. Before you book, confirm whether downspouts and fascia are inside the price, since one Savannah booking page lists downspout work in its brightening line and a Florida page treats fascia as part of the job.
