"I hired Nelsonâ s Roofing to replace and pitch my gutters. They arrived on time and did a great job. The company sent Carlos and an assistant. He tightened up the gutters with brackets, made sure the gutters were clean and inspected the roof for me. They cleaned before they left. Both workers were pleasant and very attentive to the repairs. I would definitely hire them again. Also, they did the job for a reasonable price. Thank you for your outstanding service! Lou from the Bronx"

"Responded quickly to my inquiry, and was able to schedule gutter cleaning same day. They did a great job, texted pictures of the work - before and after. While they were cleaning gutters, they found sealant holes around our chimney flashing and gave an estimate to repair which we accepted. Overall, we are very happy with the service. Easy to communicate with as well."
"I had a broken gutter that was lying on the ground which was torn down from the last snowstorm. Mark and his team came on the same day I called, and replaced a gutter as well as cleaned all of my gutters and fixed the gutters extensions, so the water would be dispensed away from the house. They did an amazing job. I will definitely use them again and recommend the services."
If you don't want to install gutter guards, the most common and inexpensive alternative is regular gutter cleaning, either annually, biannually, or as soon as they start to fill up. Using a leaf blower attachment can make this process easier. Other products designed to reduce cleanings include gutter screens (made of wire mesh, nylon, or foam), which are typically less expensive than a full gutter guard installation. You can also find guards and inserts designed specifically to protect your downspouts or opt for a whole gutter system like LeafGuard, which integrates the gutter and guard into a single product.
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.
Downspouts channel water from your roof and gutters into the ground following a specific route so water doesn’t accumulate around your house’s foundation. Without a downspout, the standing water will wash away material and disrupt the soil, leading to foundation erosion. The standing water will also form ice around your house during cold weather, causing a safety hazard.
Yes, gutters can still get clogged even with gutter guards installed. While guards significantly reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutters, they are not 100% effective.
Small debris such as pine needles, seedlings, algae, small leaves, and pebbles can pass through the guard's screen or mesh and accumulate over time. Clogs can also form if the guards themselves are not cleaned and become overwhelmed with debris on top, preventing water from entering the gutter.
If this buildup is neglected, it can lead to clogs, water leaks, mold growth, and even plants sprouting from the gutters. The primary benefit of gutter guards is not the complete elimination of maintenance, but a dramatic reduction in how often you need to perform it, often from several times a year to just once a year or less.
If not properly maintained, an underground downspout may damage your home's foundation. A clogged downspout can back up, causing water to pool around the base of your home and seep into the foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance keep your downspout in good working order, preventing damage and protecting your home.
