Eavestrough & Gutter Cleaning Cost in Ajax
$160 – $520per home
Eavestrough cleaning in Durham Region costs $160 to $520 depending on storeys, roof pitch and linear footage. Bungalows and townhouses sit at the bottom; three-storey homes with steep pitches and mature tree cover sit at the top.
Rural travel distance and long driveways add a little to the visit, while steep, high roofs on the newer Brooklin elevations sometimes need harness work. Wood-appliance sweeps here take longer because the creosote load is genuinely heavier.

The detail
How eavestrough & gutter cleaning cost is priced
Pricing follows access and linear footage, not square footage. A wide single-storey bungalow can have more eavestrough than a narrow three-storey townhouse, but the townhouse costs more because of ladder work and safety setup.
A real clean is hand-scooped and bagged, not blown onto the lawn, with every downspout flushed and checked for flow. Debris left in the downspout is the reason a cleaned trough overflows again in the next heavy rain, which is the most common complaint we hear about the last company someone hired.
Two cleanings a year suits most Durham Region homes with mature trees: late spring after the seed drop, and late fall after the leaves are down. Homes without overhanging trees can usually get by with one in November.
In Ajax, Brooklin and Sharon are dominated by post-2015 energy-efficient builds with direct-vent gas fireplaces and ERVs. Bowmanville and Newcastle hold older village housing and farm properties with masonry chimneys, wood stoves, oil-fired appliances and propane tanks rather than natural gas. That shows up directly in what this job costs here compared with the rest of Durham Region.
What pushes the price up
- Number of storeys and roof pitch
- Total linear footage of eavestrough
- Heavy leaf, seed or shingle-grit accumulation
- Blocked or disconnected downspouts and underground drains
What brings it down
- Two scheduled cleanings a year instead of one emergency call
- Booking with neighbours on the same street
- Adding gutter guards on the trough sections under heavy tree cover
FAQ
Eavestrough & Gutter Cleaning Cost questions we get asked
How much does eavestrough cleaning cost in Oshawa?
$160 to $520 for most homes. A bungalow or townhouse is at the low end; a three-storey home with a steep pitch and heavy tree cover is at the high end.
How often should eavestroughs be cleaned?
Twice a year for homes with mature trees — late spring and late fall. Once in November is usually enough for a home with no overhanging trees.
Do you clean the downspouts too?
Yes. Every downspout is flushed and checked for flow. Debris left in the downspout is the main reason a cleaned eavestrough still overflows.
What happens if I don't clean my gutters?
Water backs up under the shingles, spills against the foundation and, in an Ontario winter, forms ice dams that lift shingles and force meltwater into the roof deck. Those repairs cost multiples of the cleaning.
Are gutter guards worth it?
On sections under heavy tree cover, yes — they reduce cleaning frequency significantly. On an open roofline they rarely pay for themselves, so we recommend them section by section rather than for the whole house.
