Your Home Stays Dry and Protected

When your gutters work right, water flows where it should—away from your foundation, away from your basement, away from your landscaping. You don’t wake up after storms wondering if water found its way where it shouldn’t.

Clean gutters mean your roof lasts longer because water isn’t sitting where it doesn’t belong. Your siding stays intact. Your foundation stays solid.

You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing a crucial part of your home’s protection system is actually doing its job. No more climbing ladders yourself or wondering when the next backup will cause problems you can’t see until it’s expensive to fix.

Our Gutter Cleaning Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your entire gutter system to see what we’re dealing with. We check for clogs, damage, and any areas that need special attention.

Then we remove all debris by hand and with professional tools—leaves, twigs, dirt, whatever’s built up in there. We don’t just push it around or leave it on your property.

We flush your downspouts to make sure water flows properly from top to bottom. If there’s a blockage, we clear it completely. Finally, we clean up our work area and let you know if we found anything you should be aware of.

You get gutters that actually move water like they’re supposed to, and you know exactly what condition they’re in.

Complete Gutter Cleaning Independence

What's Included in Every Service

Every gutter cleaning includes complete debris removal, downspout flushing, and a basic inspection of your gutter system. We clean up all debris—it doesn’t get left in your yard or flower beds.

In Independence, we see a lot of oak and maple debris, especially in fall. We also deal with the clay soil issues that affect drainage around here. We know which areas tend to have the heaviest buildup and which downspouts typically need extra attention.

You get a thorough cleaning that addresses the specific challenges Missouri homeowners face. We’re not using a one-size-fits-all approach—we’re handling your gutters based on what actually happens to homes in this area.

How often should I have my gutters cleaned in Independence, MO?

Most Independence homeowners need gutter cleaning twice a year—once in late spring after the pollen and early debris, and once in late fall after the leaves drop. If you have a lot of trees close to your house, especially oaks or maples, you might need cleaning three times a year. Missouri’s weather patterns mean we get heavy spring rains that can overwhelm clogged gutters, and our fall leaf drop is significant enough to block most gutter systems. The timing matters because you want clean gutters before the heavy rain seasons. If you’re seeing water overflowing during storms or notice plants growing in your gutters, you’ve waited too long. Regular cleaning prevents the bigger problems that cost real money to fix.

What happens if you find damage during the cleaning?

We’ll point out any issues we find and explain what they mean for your home’s protection. Common problems include loose gutters, small leaks at joints, or downspouts that have pulled away from the house. We’re not trying to sell you repairs you don’t need, but we will tell you about problems that could get worse. Some issues are minor and can wait. Others, like gutters pulling away from your roofline, need attention before they cause bigger damage. You get an honest assessment of what needs fixing now versus what you can plan for later. We explain the difference between urgent repairs and maintenance items you can budget for over time.

Do you clean gutters on two-story homes safely?

Yes, we have the proper equipment and experience for multi-story homes. We use professional-grade ladders, safety equipment, and techniques that keep both our team and your property safe during the cleaning process. Two-story gutter cleaning requires different equipment and more care than single-story work. We’re set up for it with stabilized ladders, proper safety gear, and the experience to work efficiently at height without damaging your roof, siding, or landscaping. You don’t have to worry about someone getting hurt on your property or your gutters getting damaged during cleaning. We handle the safety concerns so you don’t have to climb ladders or risk injury trying to maintain your own gutters.

Will you clean gutters if it's been years since the last cleaning?

Absolutely. Heavily clogged gutters just take more time and care to clean properly. We’ve handled gutters that haven’t been cleaned in five or more years—they require more hand removal and often need extra downspout work. Long-neglected gutters sometimes have small trees or heavy soil buildup that requires careful removal to avoid damaging the gutter system. We take the time needed to clear everything without bending or breaking your gutters. The longer gutters go without cleaning, the more likely we are to find other issues like rust spots, loose brackets, or areas where standing water has caused problems. We’ll clean what’s there and let you know about any damage we discover.

What about gutter guards—do they eliminate the need for cleaning?

Gutter guards reduce how often you need cleaning, but they don’t eliminate it completely. Even good gutter guard systems need periodic maintenance to remove fine debris that gets through and buildup that occurs over time. We clean gutters with various guard systems installed. Some work better than others, but all of them eventually need attention. The guards that work best still need cleaning every 2-3 years instead of every year. If you’re considering gutter guards, we can tell you what we’ve seen work well in this area and what tends to cause more problems than it solves. Some guard systems actually make cleaning harder when it’s finally needed.

Do you work during winter months in Missouri?

We work year-round when weather conditions are safe, but winter gutter cleaning has limitations. Ice and snow make ladder work dangerous, and frozen debris is harder to remove completely. The best time for winter gutter work is during mild spells when ice has melted and conditions are safe for ladder work. If you have ice dams or urgent drainage issues, we can often help, but major cleanings are better scheduled for spring. If you’re having winter water problems, don’t wait until spring to call. We can assess what’s happening and determine if immediate work is possible or if you need temporary solutions until conditions improve for complete cleaning.
