Gutters are one of those things that get ignored until they fail. By then, the damage is usually somewhere else: rotted fascia, foundation moisture, or a flooded basement. Properly installed gutters with correct slope and sufficient downspouts are a small investment that protects a much bigger one.
Gutter Cleaning
Gutter installation and gutter health are two different things. Even a well-installed system fails when it’s packed with debris. RAWResidential offers gutter cleaning as a standalone service so your gutters actually perform between replacements.
What’s included in a cleaning:
- Full debris removal from all gutter troughs
- Flushing every downspout to confirm clear flow end to end
- Checking slope and pitch to verify proper drainage
- Inspecting for sagging sections, loose hangers, and early signs of overflow damage
Why it matters:
Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of preventable home damage. When water can’t drain, it backs up under shingles and creates ice dams in winter. It overflows against fascia boards and causes wood rot. It pools at the foundation and works its way into basements and crawlspaces. A cleaning that costs a few hundred dollars prevents repairs that cost several thousand.
How often:
At least twice a year. Late fall, after the leaves are fully down, and again in spring after tree pollen and seed pods have cleared out. Homes under heavy tree canopy often need a third cleaning in midsummer. If you’re not sure what your property needs, Rocky will give you an honest read during the estimate.
Common Questions About Gutters
What size gutters do you install?
We typically install 5-inch K-style gutters for standard residential applications, and 6-inch where the roof area or slope requires more capacity. We'll size it correctly for your home.
Do you install gutter guards?
Yes. We offer several gutter guard options depending on your tree canopy and maintenance preferences. We'll tell you what actually works vs. what doesn't, based on what we see on homes in your area.
My gutters are overflowing even though they're clean. What's wrong?
Usually it's improper pitch, undersized downspouts, or not enough downspout outlets. These are installation problems, not gutter problems. We'll diagnose the actual issue during the estimate.
Can you replace just one section?
Yes. We can replace a single run or individual sections if the rest of the system is in good shape. We'll be honest if a full replacement makes more sense.
