How often should
gutters be cleaned?
How often should I hire a gutter cleaning service? This question is no doubt on the minds of many Chicago residents. As a local gutter cleaner, we recommend getting your gutters cleaned and inspected at least twice a year. The best times for this are late fall, when all the leaves are done falling, and late spring or early summer after trees are done dropping seeds. Specifically, we recommend scheduling gutter cleaning in November and the last week of June or early July.
DIY Gutter Cleaning vs. Hiring a Pro
When it comes to gutter cleaning, homeowners often face the choice between tackling the task themselves or hiring a professional. Both approaches have their merits and challenges, and the best choice can vary depending on individual circumstances.
The choice between DIY and hiring a professional for gutter cleaning depends largely on individual preferences, skills, and the situation of your property. If you're comfortable with heights, have the necessary equipment, and don't mind getting your hands dirty, DIY could be a viable option. However, hiring a professional is undoubtedly the better choice for those who prioritize safety, efficiency, and a comprehensive check of their gutter system.
Regardless of the method chosen, regular gutter cleaning is crucial in maintaining your home's integrity and preventing water-related damage.
If, however, you decide to call a pro, here are a few benefits of hiring us to clean your gutters:
- Expertise and Efficiency: We have the experience and tools to do the job quickly and thoroughly. Our technicians can spot and address issues that a homeowner might miss.
- Safety: Professional gutter cleaners are equipped with the necessary safety gear and are trained to work at heights, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Comprehensive Service: Besides cleaning, we offer gutter inspection, repair, roof cleaning, and maintenance services.
How we clean gutters and downspouts
Our experienced technicians are dedicated to delivering a comprehensive service that not only cleans but thoroughly inspects and maintains your gutters and downspouts. From initial inspection to final review, our process is meticulous and tailored to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your gutter system.
Comprehensive Inspection
Our skilled technicians begin with a detailed inspection of your gutters and downspouts, assessing for obstructions, structural damage, debris accumulation, animal nests, and mold growth.
Debris Removal
Using specialized scoops, trowels, and leaf blowers, our team carefully clears all accumulated debris while preserving the integrity of your roof and siding.
Gutter Flushing
Your gutters undergo a thorough flushing with water to wash away lingering dirt, grime, or sediment for efficient water flow.
Downspout Cleaning
Special attention is given to ensure downspouts are completely unobstructed, facilitating unimpeded water flow away from your property.

All debris is collected and properly disposed of. We leave no trace behind — except a perfectly functioning gutter system.

Reasons to maintain
clean gutters and downspouts
- Preventing Water Damage: Clogged gutters cause water overflow that damages your foundation, walls, and roofing materials — leading to costly structural repairs.
- Protecting Your Roof: Water accumulation on the roof from clogged gutters causes rotting materials, leaks, ceiling stains, and mold growth.
- Preventing Landscape Destruction: Overflowing gutters erode soil, damage plants, and flood gardens. Clean gutters channel water away in a controlled manner.
- Extending the Life of Your Gutters: Debris causes rust, corrosion, sagging, and detachment. Regular cleaning reduces wear and delays replacement costs.
