"Richard was very helpful. We had to reschedule due to the weather, but he worked on a Saturday to make up for the snow day. He cleaned my gutters and pressure washed my drive way and the house. I was very happy with the results. I will definitely refer him to my family and friends."
"Very personable individuals. They answer their phones and are available for questions as needed. I got both gutter cleaning and windows on upper level. I gave a 4.5 because the windows were somewhat streaked and not cleaned completely. This is most likely from working in direct sunlight. However that is the only reason I gave them a 4.5 rather than a 5 star rating."
"Greg Howell diagnosed the issue and took pictures and explained to me the issue that is more related to roofing than gutter or downspout drain. He is knowledgeable, humble, respectful and caring person, trustworthy and reliable. He helped me understand the problem and also suggested who can fix it and what I should be looking for when I hire the person. I really appreciate him taking the time to diagnose the issue. It is indeed a big help. Thanks Greg!"
"LeafFilter doesn't clean gutters, they sell and install their LeafFilter Gutter products and only clean the gutters if you buy their product. I can't even begin to afford their product so I wasn't able to get my gutter cleaned by them."
"They did a great job cleaning my gutters. I had to make several phone calls to get everything set up. But I will definitely use them again. Thanks so much for leaving my yard neat and tidy."
"This company does a lot of tasks for a reasonable price. They have cleaned my gutters, power-washed the house and sidewalk, and mowed/edged the lawn. I intend to use them for some exterior paint work and some tree trimming. As I said, they do a LOT for a reasonable price."

Yes, it is generally considered safe to use a leaf blower to clear debris from gutters as long as you are wearing safety goggles and gloves. It's also necessary to have a gutter extension tool. In cases of severe clogs, it's necessary to manually clear debris that cannot be removed by the pressure of the leaf blower. Homeowners should be aware that the incredible power and speed of the output of a leaf blower can blow debris into downspouts. When this happens, water won't be able to flow through the gutters properly. For this reason, many homeowners hire professional gutter cleaners.
No—gutters should be designed and properly installed so they are ready to handle any level of rainflow from your roof. If you notice pooling water around your gutters or on the roof, it’s imperative that you contact a gutter repair pro near you—the slope of your gutters could be off and need adjusting.
Frequently, when water flows over gutters, it indicates a potential clog, necessitating cleaning. For instance, if a twig becomes lodged in the downspout, it can lead to a traffic jam, causing more leaves and sticks to accumulate. Another potential issue is an incorrect pitch, as gutters should channel water toward the downspout. If you observe water overflowing the end cap or leaking through it, it suggests that your gutters are improperly tilted.
Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe and not recommended due to significant safety risks. It is especially dangerous on steep or slippery roofs, or if the roof is wet or covered in leaves, which increases the chance of a fall. In addition to personal injury, walking on the roof can damage shingles, potentially leading to water leaks. Instead of walking on the roof, use a sturdy ladder positioned on a stable surface to access the gutters. Be aware that using a ladder also carries risks, as it can be difficult to maintain balance while performing the work. You can also use ground-based cleaning tools. For safety reasons and to prevent damage to your roof, hiring a professional to clean your gutters is the best and safest option.
Gutters should be cleanedat leasttwice a year, in the spring and in the fall, to remove the debris from trees that can clog the eavestroughs and downspouts. Debris like leaves, twigs, and seed pods can build up and cause your gutters to overflow, potentially causing damage to your roof and foundation. Water backing up under the shingles can rot the edge of your roofline. Overflow water falling next to your foundation can end up leaking into your basement or crawl space.
