What a clogged gutter does
When a gutter is full, water can spill over the edge, run down the siding, pool near the foundation or back up under the roof edge. Frozen debris in winter can make the problem worse. Snow adds weight, which can put strain on the gutters and fascia and lead to damage.
What is in a gutter
We pull out leaves, seed pods, shingle grit and sometimes more. Our photos show a sapling that grew in a gutter and a pile of frozen debris. We clean the gutters, check that the downspouts are running and let you know about any issues we notice.
How often
Trees near the roof mean more debris. Many houses need gutter cleaning in spring and again in late fall. Homes under oaks or pines may need cleaning more often.
When we work
We clean gutters through winter when the temperature is above 32 degrees. Rain, ice and snow can delay a job.
What if I have gutter guards?
No problem! Send us a photo of the style so we can discuss how we would handle cleaning that type of guard.
Roof and house soft washing together
Clogged gutters often show up alongside a stained roof or dirty siding. Ask us to quote roof soft washing and house soft washing for the same visit. They are separate services that can be done together, using low pressure soft washing rather than the pressure used on hard surfaces.
