More than scooping out leaves.
A real gutter cleaning isn't just clearing the troughs, it's making sure the whole system actually moves water away from your home.
Clear the gutters
We remove leaves, debris, and built-up grit from the troughs by hand, not just blowing it around for it to settle back in.
Flush & test flow
We flush the system and check that water actually flows through the downspouts and away from your foundation, not just sits.
Clear downspouts
Downspouts clog where you can't see. We make sure they're open and draining, the part most DIY cleanings miss.
Quick visual check
While we're up there, we look for loose hangers, sagging, or leaks and tell you honestly if anything needs attention.
We clean up
We bag and haul away the debris and leave your property tidy. No piles of wet leaves left on your lawn or beds.
Honest recommendations
If your gutters keep clogging, we'll mention options like gutter guards, but only if they'd genuinely help. No upsell pressure.
Gutters have one job: keep water off your house.
When they're clogged, they can't, and as an exterior contractor we see exactly where that water ends up. A clean gutter protects far more than the gutter itself:
- Your fascia and soffit, where overflowing water sits and rots the wood behind the gutter.
- Your foundation and basement, where water dumping at the base of the house seeps in.
- The wall behind your siding, where overflow can defeat the moisture barrier we work so hard to install right.
- Winter ice dams, which clogged, water-holding gutters help feed in our freeze-thaw climate.
Twice a year is the rule of thumb, your home may differ.
Most homes do well with a cleaning in late spring and again in late fall, but it depends on your trees and surroundings. We'll give you an honest read for your property rather than sell you a schedule you don't need.
Late spring
Clears seed pods, blossoms, and debris that build up over the growing season.
Late fall
The big one, after the leaves drop, so gutters are clear heading into winter.
Lots of trees?
Homes under heavy tree cover may need more frequent attention, we'll advise honestly.
Before winter
Clear gutters going into the freeze help reduce the conditions that feed ice dams.
After storms
Heavy wind and storms can fill gutters fast; a check afterward is worthwhile.
Tired of the ladder?
If climbing up isn't for you, recurring service or gutter guards can take it off your plate.
Cleaning keeps them working. Guards keep them clearer, longer.
Regular cleaning is the reliable way to protect your home, and for many homes it's all you need. But if you're cleaning constantly or just don't want to think about it, we can help you decide whether more is worth it:
- Gutter guards reduce how much debris gets in, so cleanings are less frequent.
- Recurring service, we come out on a schedule so you never have to track it.
- Repairs, if cleaning reveals loose, sagging, or leaking gutters, we can fix those too.
- Honest advice, we'll tell you when guards make sense and when they don't. Gutter guards →
