Water goes into the fascia
Backed-up water sits against the board the gutter is mounted to. That board rots quietly for a year or two and then the whole run needs replacing.

Gutter Cleaning
A blocked gutter is a slow leak you cannot see until it is expensive.
Gutters are boring right up until they are not. A gutter packed with pine needles and roof grit stops moving water, and water that cannot move goes somewhere else: over the edge and down your siding, back under the shingles, or into the fascia board it is bolted to. By the time there is a stain on the ceiling, the repair is no longer a cleaning problem.
In this climate the risk is concentrated. Fall drops a load of needles and leaves into the trough, then winter freezes whatever is holding moisture. A clogged gutter with ice in it is heavy, and it pulls on its own fasteners all season. Clearing it in autumn is one of the cheapest pieces of home maintenance there is.
Worth Knowing
What a clogged gutter actually costs
Ice makes it heavy
Debris holds water, water freezes, and a full gutter with ice in it weighs far more than the brackets were designed to carry. That is how gutters end up hanging off a house in February.
Overflow spots your windows
Water spilling over the front edge runs across the glass below, carrying roof minerals with it. It is a common cause of the hard water staining we get called out to fix.
It undermines the foundation
Downspouts exist to move water away from the house. When they are blocked, roof runoff dumps straight down at the base of the wall instead.

Step By Step
How We Do It
01
Check the whole run first
We look at the full gutter line before we start so we know where the blockages are and can spot any sagging or damage while we work.
02
Clear by hand
Debris comes out of the trough and into a bag. We do not blow it onto your roof, your landscaping, or your neighbor's yard.
03
Flush and confirm flow
Every downspout gets run with water until we can confirm it is actually flowing out the bottom, not just draining out of sight.
04
Tell you what we found
Loose brackets, separated seams, a section pulling away from the fascia. We flag it with photos so you can deal with it before it becomes a repair.
Every downspout is confirmed flowing before we call the job done. We haul the debris away, and your landscaping looks the way it did when we pulled up.
What It Costs
Priced by the linear footage of gutter and the roof access, not by how bad the clog is. Free estimate. Bundling it with a window cleaning visit usually saves you a trip charge.

Gutters Questions
How often do gutters need cleaning?
Once a year is enough for most homes here, and autumn is the right time so they go into winter clear. If you have pines directly over the roofline, twice a year is more realistic.
Do you clean gutter guards too?
Yes, though it is a different job. Guards reduce how much gets in, they do not eliminate it, and fine grit still builds up underneath. We can lift and reseat most systems.
What do you do with the debris?
We bag it and take it with us. You should not be left with a pile of wet needles on the driveway after paying somebody to clean up.
Can you do gutters and windows on the same visit?
Yes, and it is the sensible way to do it. We are already on site with ladders up, so combining them saves you both time and money.
