Q: How often should I clean my gutters?
A: We recommend cleaning your gutters 4 times per year for optimal performance. Many Homes Are Okay With 2-3 Cleanings A Year IF YOU HAVE LITTLE OR MEDIUM TREES AROUND YOUR HOME
Q: When are the 4 recommended times to clean my gutters?
A: 1) Early Spring - Mid to late March. During the winter, rough weather will pull the leaves as well as twigs and other debris off the trees. Early spring is also the time most animals will start making nests. This cleaning will also get you ready for the April Showers
2) Late Spring - Mid to late June. after all the seed pods, blossoms; “helicopters” are done falling. These will clog gutters as well as the leaders and any underground drains on the system. These seed pods will soon germinate and you will have trees growing out of your gutters!
3) Early Fall - Mid to late October. All summer long thunder showers and heavy rains have pulled leaves off the trees and washed them into you gutters and downspouts! This cleaning will also catch the first wave off leaves shedding off the trees. This cleaning will also help should we get an early freeze and are unable to get to the late fall cleaning.
4) Late Fall - Late November early December. After most leaves are done falling. This will help protect your gutter system over the winter and until your next gutter maintenance in Early Spring.

Q: What Is The Best Way To Protect And Care For My Gutter System?
A: We Feel The Best Way To Maintain Your Gutter System Is By Regular Cleaning/Maintenance. The Answer Is Not To Cover Your Gutter System And Forget About It! All Gutter Systems Covered Or Not, Require Routine Yearly Maintenance To Prevent Leaky Roofs and Basements, Rotten Fascia/Soffit, Damaged Gutter Systems, Etc.,

Q: Can't I Just Clean My Gutters Once A Year Or So?
- A: Many Homeowners have been misinformed! They think the gutter system on their home does not need to be maintained, or that covered gutter systems or the occasional yearly cleaning is enough maintenance....IT ISN'T!!! When leaves and debris build up, water has no place to go but to seep into the roof or to spill over onto the walls and foundation of the house. We have seen fascia and soffit rot from the exposure of rainfalls of a single season, and many wet basements with foundation problems, and attics destroyed by roof leaks! The fact is that homes are made of wood and at a minimum a spring and fall gutter cleaning should be a priority for homeowners. Homes with heavy tree cover should have 3 or 4 Gutter Cleanings every year!
