The ideal times for gutter cleaning are at the end of fall and the end of spring.

For those who require just one annual cleaning, we recommend scheduling it for the end of fall, typically between early December and early January. It's crucial to wait until all the leaves have fallen before cleaning the gutters, aiming to do it before freezing temperatures set in.

If two cleanings per year are needed, the best times are the end of fall and the end of spring. Similar to fall, trees shed a lot of debris in spring, such as flowers, seed pods, and pollen. For spring cleaning, we suggest targeting the end of May through the end of June.

Ultimately, the time required depends on the size of the gutter system and the amount of debris. Additionally, factors such as the presence of gutter guards or the inability to access the roof can also affect the duration. However, as a general rule, a team of experts can typically clean the gutters of an average home within 30 to 90 minutes. This represents a significant time saving compared to the hours you would need to spend doing the job yourself.

Even if your gutters appear clean, several factors can cause them to overflow. Your downspout or in-ground drain system might be clogged. Additionally, your roof's configuration could cause water to bypass the gutters during heavy rains, or the gutter outlets might be too small. Occasionally, the rainfall intensity is so high that even a perfectly functioning gutter system cannot manage the water volume.
