Most homes do well with regular gutter cleaning twice a year — usually in the spring and fall when trees, falling leaves, and dirt cause the most clog issues. Homes with lots of trees may need them cleaned more often. Keeping your gutters clean helps prevent water damage, stops clogs, and protects your roof, fascia board, and siding from leaks and costly repairs later.

If you see overflowing water, wet walls, leaking around the seams, clogged downspouts, or even small plants growing in the gutter, those are clear signs it’s time for a cleaning. You might also notice damaged gutters, peeling paint, mold, or water pooling near the ground or basement. These are all signals that debris is stopping the flow of rainwater and causing problems.

Many homeowners find gutter guards helpful because they cut down on the amount of debris, clogs, and mess from leaves. They don’t replace regular gutter cleaning, but they definitely help. If you choose to install gutter guards, there are a few ways to set them up, depending on your roofing, shingles, and gutter style. We can walk you through the best option on site and explain the cost and the factors that affect it.

Absolutely. Cleaning the downspouts is essential. Even if the gutters look clean, a clogged downspout can still cause overflowing or leaking issues. We make sure water can flow smoothly from the top gutter all the way down and away from your house, yard, and foundation. We can also talk about French drains or other ways to help move water safely away from your home.

It can be. Cleaning gutters means climbing a ladder, working around wet debris, and sometimes balancing on a two-story home. Many people prefer a professional because we have the right tools, equipment, and liability insurance to handle the job safely. We use methods like blowing with a leaf blower, hand scooping with a bucket and brush, a gentle spray or flush from a hose, and, when helpful, a pressure washer. It’s easier, safer, and faster for you to let trained contractors handle it.

Yes, they can. When clogged gutters trap water, it pushes under shingles, seeps into the roof, and leads to leaks, rot, and mold. It can also spill over the siding, stain it, or cause the paint to bubble. Keeping your gutters clean helps prevent water damage, protects your roofing, and saves you from repairs that can add up fast.

No, you don’t need to be home as long as we have access to the gutters. We handle everything safely and carefully on site, and we clean up all the mess before leaving. Many customers love this because they can go about their day while we take care of the job.

The price depends on several factors, like the size of the house, whether it’s a two-story home, how much debris is in the gutters, and if there are damaged gutters or extra services you want (such as using a pressure washer or adding gutter guards). We always keep costs fair and explain exactly what you’re paying for. You’ll never pay for work you don’t need, and you’ll always know what to expect before we start.
