Gutter Cleaning

Q: How often should gutters be cleaned?
A: Most homes need gutter cleaning twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall after leaves have dropped — though homes surrounded by mature trees may need it more often.

Q: What does gutter cleaning actually include?
A: Hand cleaning of gutters to remove leaves, sticks, mud, and other debris, exterior wiping of the gutters with chemically-coated rags, and a downspout inspection to make sure water flows freely and nothing's blocked.

Q: Why does gutter cleaning matter — can't I just leave it?
A: Clogged gutters cause water to back up and overflow, which can lead to roof damage, foundation issues, and basement water intrusion — especially relevant in West Michigan given lake-effect snow melt and heavy spring rain.

Q: Do you check the downspouts, or just the gutters themselves?
A: Both — downspout inspection to ensure they're unobstructed is part of every gutter cleaning visit.

Q: Is gutter cleaning dangerous or messy for me to do myself?
It can be — ladder work plus wet debris is a common cause of DIY injuries. We handle the ladder work and debris removal so you don't have to.

Q: Do you clean gutters on two-story homes?
A: Yes, we service homes throughout Holland, Zeeland, Saugatuck, Fennville, and Port Sheldon regardless of story count.

Q: Can I bundle gutter cleaning with window cleaning or pressure washing?
A: Yes — many customers combine gutter cleaning with window cleaning or pressure washing in the same visit. Ask for a combined quote.

Q: What if you find a bigger problem, like a damaged gutter or leak?
A: We'll let you know what we find during the downspout inspection so you can address it before it becomes a costlier repair.
