Gutter Repair & Maintenance

Gutters should typically be cleaned at least twice a year, in the spring and fall. If your home is surrounded by trees or you experience heavy storms, more frequent cleanings may be necessary to prevent clogs and water damage.

Look for these signs:

• Sagging or pulling away from the house.
• Leaks or water dripping from seams and joints.
• Rust spots or cracks in the material.
• Pools of water around the foundation or overflowing during rain.
• Visible gaps or separation between sections.

Minor cleaning and maintenance, like removing leaves and debris, can be done yourself if you have the proper tools and safety equipment. However, for repairs, or if your gutters are high or hard to access, hiring a professional ensures the job is done safely and effectively.

Gutter repairs generally cost between $100 and $400, depending on the extent of the damage and the type of gutters. Replacing small sections or sealing leaks is less expensive, while extensive repairs or replacements can cost more.

• Install gutter guards to reduce debris buildup.
• Regularly clean and inspect your gutters to catch small issues early.
• Ensure downspouts are clear and directing water away from your foundation.
• Fix loose or damaged brackets promptly to avoid sagging.
