Water goes where it’s supposed to. Down the downspouts, away from your foundation, nowhere near your basement or landscaping.
You’re not dealing with overflow stains on your siding. You’re not watching erosion eat away at your foundation plantings every time it rains. And when winter hits, you’re not staring at ice dams forming because debris turned your gutters into a frozen mess.
Clean gutters mean your roof lasts longer. Your foundation stays intact. Your landscaping doesn’t wash away. And you’re not climbing a ladder twice a year wondering if this is the time you’re going to slip.
That’s what regular gutter maintenance does. It keeps expensive problems from starting in the first place.
We’ve been cleaning gutters in Somerville and surrounding areas for over a decade. Family-owned, locally operated, and we use eco-friendly products that won’t harm your kids, pets, or the plants around your foundation.
Magoun Square homes sit in an area with mature trees and the kind of weather that tests your gutters twice a year minimum. Spring pollen clogs them. Fall leaves pack them solid. Winter freezes whatever’s left into a blockage that sends meltwater straight into places it shouldn’t go.
We know what Somerville weather does to gutters. We’ve seen the foundation cracks, the basement seeps, the siding rot. We clean thoroughly, we don’t cut corners, and we don’t leave a mess behind.
We start with a free estimate. You tell us about your home, we give you a transparent price with no hidden fees.
When we show up, we’re clearing every inch of your gutters by hand and with professional tools. We remove leaves, twigs, roof debris, and the sludge that builds up over time. We check your downspouts for blockages and clear them so water actually flows through. If we spot damage or areas that need attention, we’ll let you know.
Then we test the system. We want to see water moving through your gutters and out the downspouts the way it’s designed to. If it’s not draining right, we find out why and fix it.
Finally, we clean up. All the debris gets bagged and removed from your property. You’re not left with piles of wet leaves in your driveway or flower beds.
The whole process takes a few hours depending on your home’s size. You get a system that works, and documentation of what we did.

Complete gutter and downspout clearance. We’re removing everything that doesn’t belong in your gutter system, including the packed-in debris that’s been there since last season.
Roof debris removal from the edges where it collects and eventually washes into your gutters. We’re getting rid of the problem at the source.
Siding protection throughout the process. We’re not scraping your paint or dinging your trim while we work.
For homes with seamless gutter systems, we pay extra attention to the joints and end caps where leaks typically start. We’re checking for proper pitch and making sure water isn’t pooling anywhere along the run.
In Magoun Square, where home values average close to a million dollars, your gutter system isn’t just a maintenance item. It’s protecting a significant investment from water damage that starts small and gets expensive fast. Massachusetts weather is hard on homes. Early snow, heavy spring rains, summer storms, fall leaf drops. Your gutters handle all of it, but only if they’re clear.
We also offer gutter guard installation for homes that want to reduce how often they need this service. It’s not a magic solution, but it cuts down on debris and extends the time between cleanings.
Twice a year minimum. Late spring after the pollen and seed drop, and late fall after the leaves come down.
If you’ve got oak trees, maples, or other heavy shedders near your roofline, you might need a third cleaning mid-summer. Somerville’s tree canopy is one of the things that makes this area beautiful, but it also means your gutters fill up faster than homes in less wooded neighborhoods.
The real answer depends on what’s around your house. If you’re seeing overflow between cleanings, or if you notice plants growing in your gutters, you’re waiting too long. Water damage doesn’t wait for a convenient schedule.
Water finds another path. Usually one that damages your house.
Clogged gutters overflow. That water runs down your siding, soaks into your foundation, and eventually finds its way into your basement. In winter, it freezes into ice dams that can rip gutters off your house and cause roof leaks.
You’ll also see foundation cracks from soil erosion, wood rot on your fascia boards, and pest problems from standing water that attracts mosquitoes in summer. The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix gets. A $200 gutter cleaning is a lot cheaper than a $10,000 foundation repair.
No. Gutter cleaning is mostly physical removal of debris, and when we do need cleaning agents, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic products.
We’re a family-owned company and a lot of our clients have kids and pets. We’re not using anything we wouldn’t use around our own families. That goes for your landscaping too. The products we use won’t harm your foundation plantings or lawn.
Most of the job is hand-clearing debris and flushing the system with water. If there’s built-up grime or algae, we use safe cleaning solutions that break it down without damaging your gutters or the environment.
Yes. We offer gutter guard installation as an add-on service.
Gutter guards reduce the amount of debris that gets into your system, which means you can go longer between cleanings. They’re not maintenance-free, but they help, especially if you’ve got a lot of trees.
There are different types depending on your budget and your specific situation. Some work better for pine needles, others for larger leaves. We’ll walk you through what makes sense for your home during the estimate. The goal is to reduce how often you’re paying for this service without creating new problems like ice buildup or water overshooting the gutter during heavy rain.
It depends on your home’s size, gutter length, and how accessible everything is. Most homes in this area run between $200 and $500 for a complete cleaning.
Single-story homes with straightforward gutter systems cost less. Two or three-story homes with complex rooflines, or homes where we need special equipment to reach everything safely, cost more.
We give free estimates so you know the price before we start. No surprise charges, no hidden fees. The quote we give you is what you pay. If we find something unexpected while we’re working, we’ll talk to you about it before we do anything that changes the price.
We’ll show you exactly what we found and explain what it means.
Sometimes it’s a small issue like a loose bracket or a separated seam that we can fix on the spot. Other times it’s something bigger like a section that needs replacement or a downspout that’s pulling away from the house.
We’re not going to upsell you on repairs you don’t need, but we’re also not going to ignore problems that will get worse. You’ll get photos if needed, a clear explanation of what’s wrong, and an honest recommendation about whether it’s urgent or something you can plan for later.
Most of the time, regular cleaning prevents damage from happening in the first place. That’s the whole point. Catching small issues early means you’re not dealing with emergency repairs during the next big storm.
