How often should you clean your gutters?
Most homes benefit from cleaning at least twice a year. Tree cover changes that.
[DRAFT — review and rewrite in your own voice before publishing.]
The general rule
Clean in late spring and again in late fall, after leaves finish dropping. Homes under heavy tree cover often need more frequent visits.
Signs it's overdue
Overflowing water, plants growing in the gutter, sagging sections, or stains on siding below the gutter line.
Do gutter guards remove the need?
Guards reduce cleaning but rarely eliminate it. Fine debris can still build up on top or at the edges. See our gutter guard service.
