How much does a gutter inspection cost?

Typically $75 to $200, and often credited toward work you book afterward.

How long does an inspection take?

One to two hours for most homes.

Is a gutter inspection part of a home inspection?

General home inspections usually look at gutters briefly. A dedicated inspection includes a water test and a fascia check.

Gutter Inspection A Written Report Before You Spend

A gutter inspection answers one question: do these gutters need cleaning, repair, or replacement, and how urgent is it? The inspector walks the roofline, runs water through every run, checks the pitch, probes the fascia for rot, and photographs anything that needs attention. You get a written list with priorities, which is useful before you buy a house, after a storm, or when quotes on the same house disagree.

Cost & Scope

Inspections typically run $75 to $200 depending on the size of the house and the number of stories. Many installers credit the fee against repair or replacement work booked afterward.

Important Considerations

When an inspection is worth paying for:

Buying or selling — a written report gives you leverage on a price or a repair credit.
Conflicting quotes — an independent report shows which quote is scoped correctly.
After a storm — documents damage before repairs.
Recurring overflow — finds the cause before you pay to replace.

How to Choose a Provider

What a useful inspection includes:

Water Test

Looking isn't enough. Pitch and leaks show up under flow.

Written Report

You should get photos and a list, not just a verbal summary.

No Sales Script

A good inspector tells you if nothing needs doing.

Guarantee & Support

Written Workmanship Warranty

Every project is backed by a workmanship warranty in writing. If a seam leaks or a section pulls away from application error within the term, the installer comes back at no charge.

Licensed & Insured

Every installer in our network carries liability and workers' comp coverage, verified before they're matched with a homeowner. Details are available on request before you book.

Fixed Written Estimate

The number in your estimate is the number you pay, unless you change the scope yourself mid-project.

Daily Site Cleanup

Old gutter sections, cut-offs, and fasteners hauled away before the crew leaves, every day of the project and not just the last one.

Why Choose Gutters Kingdom

We'd rather tell you your gutters are fine than sell you a repair. If nothing needs work, the report says that, and you've spent the fee to avoid a bigger bill.
