You’re not paying for someone to scoop leaves. You’re preventing foundation cracks that cost $30,000 to repair. You’re avoiding basement floods during March thaw. You’re stopping ice dams before they rip your gutters off the house.
Everett gets hit hard with rain and snow. The soil here—Paxton fine sandy loam—doesn’t drain well. When your gutters overflow, that water saturates the ground around your foundation. Pressure builds. Concrete cracks. Basements flood.
Clean gutters channel water away from your home. They protect your siding from staining and rot. They keep your landscaping intact. And they give you one less thing to worry about when the forecast calls for heavy rain.
We’re a family-run business serving Everett and surrounding areas for more than ten years. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a national chain. We’re local, licensed, and insured.
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic products because we know you have kids, pets, and concerns about what goes into your yard. Our team doesn’t rush. We don’t miss spots. And we don’t leave until your gutters are flowing the way they should.
Everett homeowners deal with dense tree coverage, older housing stock, and weather that doesn’t quit. We’ve cleaned gutters on triple-deckers in winter and cleared downspouts on colonials after nor’easters. We know what works here.
First, we inspect your entire gutter system. We’re looking for clogs, damage, sagging sections, and any signs of improper drainage. You’ll know what we find before we start.
Then we remove all debris by hand and with professional tools. Leaves, shingle grit, twigs, nests—it all comes out. We don’t blow it into your yard. We bag it and take it with us.
Next comes downspout clearance. If water can’t exit through the downspouts, your gutters are still useless. We make sure every downspout is flowing freely and directing water away from your foundation.
We test the system with water to confirm proper flow and drainage. If we spot minor issues—a loose bracket, a small leak—we’ll let you know. Some things we can fix on the spot. Others might need a follow-up.
Before we leave, we clean up completely. No mess in your yard. No debris on your driveway. Just gutters that work.

Every job includes full roof debris removal from the gutter system, downspout clearance, and a flow test. We also inspect for siding protection issues—places where water is splashing back onto your home because of gutter overflow or poor positioning.
If you have gutter guards, we clean those too. Most guards still let fine debris through, and they need maintenance just like open gutters. We’ll let you know if your guards are doing their job or just making things harder.
In Everett, most homes need cleaning twice a year—late spring and late fall. If you’re near heavy tree coverage or have older trees dropping debris year-round, you might need three or four cleanings. We’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what we see, not what makes us the most money.
Seamless gutter maintenance means catching small problems before they become expensive ones. A loose section now is a $50 fix. A collapsed gutter later is $500. We’ll point out anything that needs attention so you can decide how to handle it.
Twice a year is the baseline—once in late spring after trees finish dropping seeds and flowers, and once in late fall after the leaves come down. That covers most homes in Everett.
But your property might need more. If you’ve got oak trees, maples, or pines nearby, you’re dealing with year-round debris. Acorns, pine needles, and helicopters don’t follow a seasonal schedule. Homes near the Mystic River or in neighborhoods with dense canopy coverage often need three cleanings.
The real test is this: if you see water spilling over the sides during a rainstorm, you’ve waited too long. At that point, damage might already be happening. Regular cleaning costs a fraction of what you’d pay to fix a foundation crack or replace rotted fascia boards.
Water finds a way. When your gutters are clogged, that water doesn’t just disappear—it overflows and goes wherever gravity takes it. Usually, that’s straight down the side of your house and into the ground around your foundation.
Everett sits on Paxton fine sandy loam, which doesn’t drain well. Water saturates the soil, builds pressure against your foundation walls, and eventually finds a crack or seam to exploit. You end up with a wet basement, foundation damage, or both. Fixing foundation issues can run $10,000 to $30,000 depending on severity.
You’ll also see roof damage. When gutters overflow backward, water sits under your shingles. That leads to rot, leaks, and ice dams in winter. Your siding takes a beating too—constant water exposure causes staining, warping, and mold growth. All of this is avoidable with regular maintenance.
Gutter guards reduce the frequency of cleaning, but they don’t eliminate it. Most guards block large debris like leaves and twigs, but fine material still gets through—shingle grit, pine needles, seed pods, dirt. Over time, that builds up and clogs the system just like before.
Some guards actually make things worse. Cheap screens can trap debris on top, creating a dam that sends water over the edge. Foam inserts break down and clog themselves. And when guards do fail, cleaning becomes harder because you have to remove the guards first.
If you go with gutter guard installation, choose a quality system and understand you’ll still need periodic maintenance. We clean plenty of guarded gutters in Everett. They help, but they’re not magic. The best approach is usually a combination—guards to reduce buildup and regular inspections to catch what gets through.
For most single-family homes in Everett under 1,600 square feet, you’re looking at around $175. Larger homes, multi-story properties, or houses with complex rooflines will cost more—typically between $200 and $300. The price depends on linear feet of gutters, height, accessibility, and how clogged the system is.
We offer free estimates, so you’ll know the exact cost before we start. No surprises. No upselling once we’re on site. If we find additional issues like damaged sections or improper drainage, we’ll explain what needs fixing and why, but the cleaning price stays the same.
Compare that to the cost of ignoring the problem. Foundation repairs start at $3,000 and go up from there. Roof damage from ice dams or water infiltration can run $5,000 or more. Gutter cleaning is cheap insurance against expensive problems you don’t want to deal with.
We clean gutters year-round, but winter jobs depend on conditions. If there’s ice in the gutters or on the roof, we’ll wait. Working on icy surfaces isn’t safe, and we can’t do a thorough job when everything’s frozen solid.
Late fall cleaning—before the first hard freeze—is your best defense against winter problems. Clear gutters mean melting snow has somewhere to go instead of refreezing into ice dams. If you missed that window and you’re dealing with ice buildup, call us when temps rise above freezing for a few days. We’ll get you sorted out.
We do work in light rain if needed, especially during spring and fall when dry days are rare in Everett. Heavy storms, high winds, or icy conditions mean we reschedule. It’s not worth the risk, and you deserve a crew that can focus on doing the job right instead of just staying upright.
Cheaper usually means faster, and faster usually means corners get cut. Some crews blow through a job in 20 minutes—literally. They blow debris out with a leaf blower, don’t check the downspouts, and leave without testing anything. You paid less, but your gutters still don’t work.
We remove debris by hand and with professional tools. We clear every downspout. We test water flow. We inspect for damage. And we clean up completely before we leave. That takes time, and time costs money.
You’re also paying for insurance and accountability. We’re licensed and insured, which protects you if something goes wrong. If a cheaper crew damages your roof or gets hurt on your property, that’s your problem. With us, it’s covered. You’re not just buying a service—you’re buying peace of mind that the job will be done right and you won’t be left holding the bag if something goes sideways.
