Hear from Our Customers
You stop worrying about water pooling near your foundation every time it rains. Your landscaping doesn’t get washed out. Ice dams don’t form along your roofline in January, and you’re not dealing with rotted fascia boards or water stains on your siding.
Clean gutters handle what Waltham throws at them—54 inches of snow, spring thaw cycles, summer thunderstorms, and those heavy October leaf drops from mature maples and oaks around Prospect Hill and Moody Street. When debris clogs your system, water has nowhere to go except over the edge or back under your shingles.
That’s when the expensive problems start. Roof damage. Foundation cracks. Basement moisture. Landscape erosion. We remove the debris before any of that happens—roof debris removal, downspout clearance, and a full system check so everything flows correctly.
Clarita’s Cleaning is a family-run business that’s been serving Waltham homeowners since 2014. We know what clogged gutters look like on a colonial near Brandeis, a split-level in the Highlands, or a cape around Riverview.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products because many of our clients have kids, pets, or just don’t want harsh chemicals around their property. Our team shows up on time, cleans thoroughly, and doesn’t leave until the job’s done right. No shortcuts. No missed sections.
You’ll get a free estimate, flexible scheduling, and the kind of attention to detail that has customers saying we “don’t miss a single thing.” That’s not marketing talk—that’s how we work.
We start with a visual inspection of your entire gutter system—looking for clogs, sagging sections, loose brackets, or areas where water isn’t draining properly. Then we remove all debris by hand and with professional tools. Leaves, twigs, seed pods, shingle grit—it all comes out.
Next comes downspout clearance. If water can’t exit through the downspouts, your gutters can’t do their job. We flush the system and make sure everything drains correctly from the roofline to the ground.
Before we leave, we test water flow and check for small issues—loose spikes, separated seams, anything that could turn into a bigger problem. If we spot something during the cleaning, we’ll let you know. Minor fixes often get handled on the spot at no extra charge.
You’ll also get photos of the completed work. It’s a simple step, but it gives you proof that the job was done thoroughly—especially helpful for second-story gutters you can’t easily inspect yourself.

Every service includes full roof debris removal, downspout clearance, water flow testing, and a system inspection. We’re checking for proper pitch, secure brackets, and any separation along seams or corners. If your home has gutter guards, we clean around and under them to make sure they’re still doing their job.
Waltham’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on gutters. Water that sits in a clogged system during winter expands when it freezes, which can crack seams, pop brackets, or create ice dams along your roofline. We clear everything out so water doesn’t have a chance to freeze where it shouldn’t.
We also protect your siding during the process. Overflowing gutters dump water directly onto siding and trim, which leads to rot, mold, and peeling paint. Seamless gutter maintenance means keeping water moving through the system—not over it—so your exterior stays intact.
If you’ve been thinking about gutter guard installation or repairs, we’ll talk through what makes sense for your home. Not every property needs guards, and not every product works well with Waltham’s leaf load. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on your roofline, tree coverage, and budget.
Twice a year is the standard recommendation—once in late spring after the oak tassels and seed pods drop, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. If your property has a lot of mature trees or your gutters tend to clog quickly, you might need a third cleaning mid-summer.
Waltham’s weather makes timing important. You want gutters clear before winter so there’s no standing water to freeze and cause ice dams. And you want them clear before spring storms so runoff doesn’t overflow and damage your foundation or landscaping.
If you’re not sure when you last had them cleaned—or if you’ve never had it done—fall is a good time to start. That’s when most of the debris accumulates, and it’s also when we’re booking out quickly, so calling early helps.
Yes. When gutters are clogged, water can’t drain. It sits there, freezes, and creates a dam of ice along your roofline. That ice forces water back up under your shingles, where it leaks into your attic, walls, or ceilings.
Ice dams also damage fascia boards, soffits, and gutters themselves. The weight of the ice can pull gutters away from the house or crack seams. Once water gets behind your roofline, you’re looking at insulation damage, drywall repairs, and potential mold issues.
Cleaning your gutters before winter is one of the most effective ways to prevent ice dams. It’s not the only factor—attic insulation and ventilation matter too—but it’s a big one. If water can flow freely through your gutters and downspouts, it’s far less likely to freeze along your roof edge.
If your home has a second story, yes. Ladder falls are one of the most common causes of serious injury for homeowners. Gutters require you to work at height, often while reaching or leaning, and that’s when accidents happen.
Even if you’re comfortable on a ladder, you need the right equipment—stabilizers, proper footwear, and someone to spot you. Most homeowners don’t have that setup, and they definitely don’t have the insurance coverage that professionals carry in case something goes wrong.
There’s also the issue of what you find up there. Clogged downspouts, wasp nests, rotted fascia, loose brackets—these aren’t always easy fixes, and they’re harder to handle safely when you’re balancing on a ladder. We’ve been doing this for over ten years. We know what to look for, how to work safely, and how to handle problems when they come up.
We’ll let you know right away. Small issues—like a loose bracket or a minor separation at a seam—often get fixed on the spot at no extra charge. Bigger problems, like a sagging section or a damaged downspout, we’ll walk you through your options before doing any additional work.
Most of the time, catching these issues early saves you money. A loose bracket is a quick fix. A section of gutter that’s pulled away from the house and dumping water onto your foundation for six months? That’s a bigger repair, and it usually comes with damage to your siding or landscaping too.
We’re not here to upsell you. If something needs attention, we’ll explain why and what it’ll cost. If it can wait, we’ll tell you that too. You’ll get photos of anything we find so you can see exactly what we’re talking about.
Yes. Everything we use is non-toxic and safe for kids, pets, and landscaping. That includes any cleaning solutions we apply during the process and any treatments we recommend for algae or mildew on your gutters or siding.
A lot of our clients have young children or dogs that spend time in the yard. They don’t want harsh chemicals sprayed around their property, and we don’t either. Eco-friendly products work just as well without the risk, and they’re better for Waltham’s water systems and soil.
If you have specific concerns about products or allergies, let us know when you call. We’ll make sure whatever we bring to your property works for your household.
Most homes in Waltham fall between $150 and $300 depending on the size of your home, the height, and how clogged your gutters are. Properties with multiple stories or complex rooflines cost more because they take longer and require additional safety equipment.
We provide free estimates, so you’ll know the cost before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees. If we find something during the cleaning that needs extra work—like a stubborn downspout clog or a repair—we’ll discuss it with you first.
Pricing also depends on how long it’s been since your last cleaning. If your gutters are packed with years of debris, it takes more time to clear them properly. Regular maintenance keeps costs predictable and prevents the kind of buildup that turns a routine cleaning into a bigger job.
