Gutter cleaning in Somerville, Medford, Cambridge & Arlington
Fall leaves clog gutters fast around here. I clear gutters and downspouts on typical single‑family homes and smaller multi‑families so rain and snowmelt go where they should—away from your roof, siding, and foundation—not over the edge onto trim and walkways.
Why clean gutters before winter
Clogged gutters in New England mean overflow onto fascia, ice buildup risk later, and water dumped next to the foundation during fall storms. A fall cleaning after leaf drop is the highest‑value maintenance visit most local homes need outdoors.
What’s included
- Removing leaves, twigs and debris from gutters
- Clearing and checking downspouts for free flow
- Basic look for standing water, sagging sections or loose hangers
- Notes on anything that may need a roofer or gutter specialist
What this does not include
I don’t replace full gutter systems, do major roof repairs, or install new underground drainage. If something looks structural, I’ll say so and point you toward the right specialist.

Frequently asked questions
- When should I get my gutters cleaned in Greater Boston?
- Fall—after most leaves drop and before heavy rain and snow—is the most important cleaning for local homes. A spring clean after winter grit is useful too if gutters were skipped in the fall.
- How long does gutter cleaning usually take?
- Most typical single-family or smaller multi-family homes are a focused visit—often a few hours depending on roof access, how clogged the gutters are, and how many stories.
- Do you clean downspouts too?
- Yes. I clear gutters and check downspouts so water can move off the roof and away from the foundation, not just sit in the trough.
