Leaf and debris clogs
Most LA gutters fill with debris twice a year. Once after the leaf drop in November, once after storm debris in March.
What we handle
What we fix and how we approach it
Downspout blockages
Even a clean gutter is useless if the downspout is clogged. We flush every downspout to confirm flow.
Fascia damage from overflow
Overflowing gutters dump water against the fascia and the siding. Repeated overflow rots fascia boards over time.
Foundation water damage
Gutters that overflow at the ground level direct water against the foundation. Slow water damage adds up over years.
Mosquito breeding
Standing water in clogged gutters is a major mosquito breeding source during the LA summer.
Our process
From phone call to photo report
Site arrival
Crew arrives with ladders, scoops, and a leaf blower. Standard tools for standard work.
Hand clean
All debris removed by hand into buckets. We do not blow debris into the yard.
Downspout flush
Every downspout flushed with a hose to confirm clear flow.
Roof and gutter check
While we are up there, we look at the roof edge, gutters, and fascia for any deferred maintenance and report it.
Why this matters
What you should know before hiring any roofer
Gutter cleaning is one of the highest ROI maintenance tasks on any LA home. A clogged gutter overflows in the first heavy rain, dumps water against the fascia and the siding, and over time rots the wood members it touches. A clean gutter does what it is designed to do: carry water from the roof to the downspouts and away from the foundation.
LA homes typically need gutters cleaned twice a year. The fall cleaning happens after the leaf drop in November or early December, before the first major rain. The spring cleaning happens after February storms when wind blown debris collects in the gutter. Homes with mature trees overhanging the roof need a third cleaning mid season.
We do gutter cleaning by hand. Debris is removed into buckets and taken away, not blown into the yard. Every downspout is flushed with a hose to confirm clear flow. While the crew is on the roof, we also look at the gutter condition, fascia condition, and the visible portion of the roof edge. If there is anything that needs attention, it goes into a brief report.
Gutter cleaning is also the natural time to bundle with a roof inspection or roof maintenance visit. The crew is already on the ladder. Adding a 20 minute roof walk to the service is cheap insurance against missed problems. Ask about the bundle when scheduling.
Owner promise: An owner or senior roofer is the person who inspects your roof and writes your quote. Not a salesperson. Not a subcontractor. The same person who quotes the job is on site when the work happens.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about gutter cleaning
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Los Angeles?
Most single family homes are between $200 and $400 depending on roof height, gutter linear feet, and access difficulty. Two story homes with steep pitches cost more than single story ranches.
How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
Twice a year for most LA homes: late fall before the rains, and early spring after the storms. Three times a year if you have mature trees overhanging the roof.
Can I clean my own gutters?
Yes if you are comfortable on a ladder and the roof is low. The risk is ladder falls, which are the leading cause of home maintenance injuries. Two story or steep pitch gutters are not worth doing yourself.
Do you do gutter repair too?
Yes. Loose gutters, separated joints, failed downspout connections, and missing gutter guards. We quote any repair separately from the cleaning.
Should I install gutter guards?
Sometimes. Gutter guards reduce the cleaning frequency but do not eliminate it. They are most useful on homes with heavy debris loads. We can quote install during the cleaning visit.
Can you clean and check the roof at the same time?
Yes. Many customers bundle gutter cleaning with a roof inspection. The crew is already up there and the inspection is cheap insurance.
