Fall is upon us and leaves will change pretty colors and fall from trees into your gutters, potentially clogging up the gutter or downspout.

Gutter cleaning is a home - and seasonal - business that you can start today.

What It Is: Gutter cleaners remove leaves, dirt, and debris from residential and commercial gutters to prevent water damage, roof leaks, and foundation issues. Many also inspect downspouts and minor roof drainage areas while on the job.   Outlook: The gutter cleaning industry is tied to regular home maintenance and remains steady year after year. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not track gutter cleaning separately, it falls under building and grounds cleaning occupations, which the BLS projects will add over 250,000 jobs between 2022–2032. This is a reliable niche because clogged gutters are a universal problem.   Median Pay: Pay varies by region and property type, but average rates run $100–$250 per cleaning for a single-family home. Solo operators often charge $50–$100/hour, with higher rates for multi-story or hard-to-access buildings.   Startup Cost:

• Ladder: $100–$300
• Buckets, gloves, scoops: $50–$100
• Safety gear (goggles, harness if multi-story): $150–$500
• Marketing (flyers, local ads, business cards): $100–$300
• A Chromebook for invoicing and scheduling: $150.

  👉 Basic startup: $400–$1,000   Skills Needed:

• Physical stamina and balance for ladder work
• Basic knowledge of roof and drainage systems
• Attention to safety
• Customer service and reliability
• Social Media platforms for advertising: X, Facebook, Craigslist

  How to Start:

• Offer services to neighbors or through local Facebook/Nextdoor groups
• Schedule seasonal packages (spring + fall cleanings) for repeat business
• Expand by offering roof inspections or minor repairs as add-ons
