Gutter cleaning is an important part of maintaining your home because gutters help to keep away the damaging effects of water.
When gutters aren’t cleaned regularly the result could be damage to the roof, siding, foundation and even the landscaping surrounding the home.
Houses in Connecticut typically need to have gutters cleaned twice each year, in the spring and fall.

How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?
In Connecticut, homes generally require gutter cleaning twice each year. However, frequency of gutter cleaning has a lot to do with where you live and how many trees are in the vicinity. I recommend that gutters get cleaned at least in the spring and fall
Why Clean Gutters?
- Clogged gutters can cause interior and exterior water damage as well as roof leaks.
- Debris in gutters will impede the flow of water to the downspouts which can also get clogged.
- Leaves and pine needles make great homes for bugs, rodents and other small animals.
- Gutters filled with water can pull gutter spikes from the building causing costly repairs.
How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost?
The cost for cleaning gutters varies depending on the number and length of gutters to be cleaned, the height of the building, how much debris there is, and even the pitch of the roof. If the roof is too steep to work from then ladders need to be moved repeatedly and that takes more time. Cleaning the gutters on an average size home will typically cost $75 to $250.
