Gutter Cleaning From $149 That Prevents a Four-Figure Repair
Foundation cracks, flooded basements, rotted fascia, ice packed at the eave — much of it traces back to gutters that stopped doing their one job. We clear them completely, flush every downspout, and prove the water flows before we leave.
Gutters Fail Silently. Then All at Once.
A clogged gutter doesn't announce itself. It just quietly redirects hundreds of gallons of roof runoff to places water should never go: down your siding, behind your fascia boards, and straight into the soil against your foundation. By the time you notice the overflow during a storm, the damage math has already started compounding.
Macomb County's mature tree canopy makes this a twice-a-year reality for most homes. Maple seeds in spring, leaves in fall, shingle grit year-round — it all ends up in the trough, and gravity does the rest. Our job is to reset the system completely: every foot of gutter cleared by hand, every downspout flushed until it runs free, all debris bagged and hauled away.
What every visit includes: a flow test on every downspout with photos of the finished, free-flowing result, plus a heads-up if we spot loose spikes, failing seams, or pitch problems while we're up there. The crew is already on the ladder for the cleaning, so those notes come with the visit. We point each problem out, and we can repair or rehang the run so it holds and drains the way it should.
Often the cause goes back to the day the gutters went up: a builder's crew hung a run with too little pitch, left out hangers, or never sealed a corner. None of that shows from the yard, so a homeowner can live with it for years without knowing.

Drag the Handle. Same Property, Same Angle.

The Complete Gutter Reset
- Hand removal of all debris — leaves, needles, seeds, nests, and sludge
- Downspout flushing — every drop tested from inlet to discharge
- Flow verification — we don't guess that it drains; we watch it drain
- Debris bagged & removed — nothing dumped in your landscaping
- Exterior wipe-down available — add gutter brightening for streak-free curb appeal
- Condition report — photos plus notes on anything that needs attention

In This Climate, Clogged Gutters Get Expensive Fast
Winter is where blocked gutters do their worst work here. Trapped water freezes, expands, and pries gutters from the fascia. Ice dams start with attic heat melting the roof snow, and a gutter packed with frozen debris gives that ice a base at the eave, where it backs meltwater under the shingles. And every freeze-thaw cycle pumps foundation-side soil full of water it was never graded to handle.

Fall cleaning before freeze-up is the single highest-value appointment on the calendar; a spring follow-up clears the seeds and storm debris that accumulate by June. Most homes here need both visits. Under heavy trees, ask about gutter guard installation: the LeafBlaster Pro guards we install mean fewer full cleanouts, though the tops still need brushing once or twice a year and ice dams can still form with any guard.

Gutter Cleaning FAQs
How often should gutters be cleaned in Macomb County?
Twice a year for most homes — late fall after the leaves finish dropping, and spring after the seed pods and storm debris settle. Homes under heavy tree cover sometimes need a third visit. We'll recommend a cadence based on what we pull out of yours.
Do you clean the outside of the gutters too?
Debris removal covers the inside; exterior "gutter brightening," which removes the black tiger-striping from the face of the gutters, is a low-cost add-on most clients bundle in. Ask for it on your estimate and we'll quote both together.
What if my downspouts are clogged underground?
We flush and clear everything to ground level and test flow into underground drains. If a buried line is blocked, we'll identify it and tell you — that's typically a drain specialist's job, and we'd rather refer you than bill you for guesswork.
Can you clean gutters on a three-story home?
Yes. Our crews are equipped and trained for multi-story work, including steep-pitch and hard-access rooflines. Height isn't an upcharge surprise either — it's simply part of the quote you approve up front.
Do you repair gutters, or only clean them?
We repair, rehab and rehang gutters too: sagging runs, pitch that holds water, loose or missing hangers, and seams or corners that leak. Mention anything you've noticed when you book. Otherwise we flag what we find during the cleaning, show you the photos, and you decide what gets fixed.
Should I add gutter guards?
Under mature maples, oaks or pines, or on a two-story house, they are worth pricing. We install LeafBlaster Pro guards at $9 to $16 per linear foot, measured at your house, with a full cleaning included first. They mean fewer full cleanouts, not none: the tops still need brushing once or twice a year. With no trees over the roof, an occasional cleaning usually costs less than a guard.
