How much does gutter cleaning cost in Wheeling, WV?

Most single-story homes run $100–$175 and two-story homes $150–$250 in the Ohio Valley. Gutter brightening — removing the black exterior streaks — adds $75–$200. Rally quotes are free, itemized, and usually same-day.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

Twice a year for most Ohio Valley homes: late fall after the leaves drop and spring after seed pods. Homes under heavy tree cover may need a third visit.

What are the black streaks on my gutters?

Oxidation and road grime baked into the gutter's finish — 'tiger stripes.' Regular washing won't remove them; they need a specialized gutter brightening solution and hand scrubbing, which we do as an add-on in the same visit.

Is gutter cleaning included with a house wash?

It's a separate service, but bundling them in one visit is cheaper than booking each on its own — one trip, one setup. Ask for the bundle price when you get your quote.

What actually determines the price

Gutter cleaning is priced on the real work involved — mostly linear footage, height, and how bad it's gotten:

Linear footage — more gutter simply takes longer to clear and flush.
Stories & roof height — second-story gutters need more equipment and more care.
Clog severity — packed, composted gutters (or small trees growing in them) take real time.
Downspouts — clearing and flushing them matters as much as the gutters themselves.
Guards & screens — removing and re-seating them adds labor.

Cleaning vs. brightening — two different jobs

Cleaning is about function: clearing leaves, shingle grit, and debris from inside so water flows where it should — away from your fascia, soffit, and foundation.

Brightening is about appearance: those black vertical 'tiger stripes' on the gutter face are oxidation and grime baked into the finish. No rinse removes them — it takes a specialized brightening solution and hand scrubbing. Rally does both in a single visit, and the difference on the curb is dramatic.

Why skipping it costs more than doing it

Overflowing gutters dump water exactly where your house doesn't want it. Rotted fascia and soffit boards, pest nests, winter ice dams, stained siding, even wet basements — all trace back to a $150 maintenance job that didn't happen.

Twice a year is the Ohio Valley rhythm: late fall after the leaves drop, and spring after the seed pods. Heavy tree cover may justify a third visit.
