General
Properly pitched gutters and leaders gather that water and channel it away from the home. Doing so prevents water penetration into the home and its foundation.
Because of how important a properly flowing gutter system is to your home, you must keep them clean, all year round. If you don’t, rainwater can seep into your home’s roof, siding, and even its foundation. Water damage to these parts of your home can result in costly repairs. Simply cleaning your gutters prevents these expensive projects and keeps water flowing away from your home.
We recommend that you clean your gutters about 6 times per year. Your property and closeness to trees will tell us more about your specific needs, but we typically suggest this recommended schedule:
- In March, to re-nail all gutters and clear out the branches, dirt and other winter debris – so that they are ready for the “April Showers”
- In June, to clean out all the oak tassels, ragweed, seed pods, “helicopters”, and other debris that land all over our properties
- In August, to remove wind-blown debris caused by Summer thunderstorms
- And then three times in the Fall: October, November, and December, to remove all the clogs caused by leaves that come down throughout the Fall season, before the winter freeze.

Here’s What We’ll Be Doing Throughout The Season
March
We will clean, flush and inspect your gutter and downspout system. After winter, it’s necessary to inspect the damage that has been done by heavy ice and winter debris – usually evidenced in your gutters pulling away from your home. We can also clean out the branches, twigs, and other debris that have been stripped from trees and that can easily clog your gutters. This March service is important to get done before the heavy rains of April.
March
In May, trees start to reproduce, shedding oak tassels, buds, seed pods, “helicopters,” ragweed, and other debris that will quickly clog your gutters and leaders. These clogs can result in gutter damage and even water damage to your home. The May cleaning is important to tackle before the wild thunderstorms of summer roll around.
August
Summer time is a time of thunderstorms, oftentimes violent storms that can rip large, heavy debris such as branches and twigs off trees, which then clog up your gutters. This large debris can cause your gutters to go off pitch, damaging your siding and foundation.
October, November & December
With fall comes leaves, and these pose the greatest threats to your gutters. They start to fall in early October, continuing steadily through early winter. The only way to control this overwhelming volume of fall debris while limiting water damage to your home is to clean out your gutters right when fall hits.
We strongly recommend three separate cleanings: one in early fall (October), one in mid-fall (November) and one in late fall (December).
