← Gutter Cleaning Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. Jobber
Two different shapes: Jobber is an account-based platform for running a home service company's whole operation, including scheduling the crew and invoicing the customer once a job is priced. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this gutter cleaning visit cost, before you offer it.
What each tool is for
Jobber is a field service management platform used by home service businesses — lawn care, cleaning, HVAC, plumbing and general contracting among them — to run client management and online quoting, scheduling and crew dispatch, invoicing and online payments, and a client-facing hub, tied to one account used on an ongoing basis across every job the company runs. Jobber's own site is not reachable from this session to confirm today's specific feature list, plan names, or pricing, so only its well-documented identity and category are stated here: nothing about it is invented, and no dollar figure for it appears on this page. Public descriptions of that kind of field service software describe scheduling, invoicing and collecting payment for a job once its scope and price already exist; none describe working out what a gutter cleaning visit should cost from linear feet, stories, pitch, guards, debris and downspouts before you quote it — which is the one thing this calculator does.
This calculator does none of what Jobber does. It does not manage a client list, dispatch a crew across a season, or collect a payment. It takes a house's gutter runs — each one's linear feet, story, pitch, guard type, debris and downspout count — plus loaded crew wage, payroll burden, travel and setup, disposal, equipment, overhead and a minimum stop charge, and turns that into the visit price, the walk-away floor, the price per linear foot, the effective crew hourly rate and an optional spring-and-fall contract total — plus, if you already have a number on the table, a check of whether it clears your own break-even floor, and a printable customer proposal. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I need to manage clients, schedule crews, and invoice and collect payment for gutter and other home service jobs across my whole business. | Jobber, or a comparable field service platform — running that ongoing operation is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this gutter cleaning visit, given the stories, pitch, guards, debris and downspouts on this house? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| Is a flat per-linear-foot quote hiding an expensive two-story or heavily guarded run? | This calculator's per-run difficulty multipliers and labor split. |
| A customer's budget is below what I'd normally quote. Does it still clear my walk-away floor? | This calculator's proposed-price check — it flags a price below break-even before you agree to it. |
| I already have visits priced and need to schedule, invoice and collect payment across many customers, over a season. | Jobber — built as an ongoing, account-based platform for exactly that job. |
| How does the math behind a per-run gutter cleaning price actually work? | This calculator's own two-story pricing explanation. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. Jobber's tools are used through a paid account. |
Most gutter cleaning businesses get different value from each: Jobber (or a comparable field service platform) for managing clients, scheduling crews and collecting payment across an ongoing business as an account, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login answer to what a new gutter cleaning visit should cost before it is offered. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a signed proposal, an invoice, or a roof or drainage inspection.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or Jobber?
They do different jobs, and a gutter cleaning business of any size will likely end up touching both. Jobber is a field service management platform used across home service trades to run client management and quoting, scheduling and dispatch, invoicing and online payments, and a client hub, tied to one account used on an ongoing basis across every job the company runs. This calculator does one narrower thing: it takes a house's gutter runs — each one's linear feet, stories, pitch, guards, debris and downspouts — plus loaded crew wage, travel, disposal, equipment, overhead and a minimum stop charge, and turns that into the visit price, the walk-away floor, the price per linear foot and an optional spring-and-fall contract total, before you have quoted anything. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A company already scheduling crews, invoicing customers and taking payments across many jobs is better served by Jobber or a comparable field service platform; a contractor who needs an instant, private answer to what one gutter cleaning visit should cost before it is offered is in the right place here.
