How Often Should I Clean My Gutters?

It depends on where you live — but as a general rule, gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall.

Leaves, pine needles, and roof debris can build up over time, especially after storms or windy seasons. When gutters clog, rainwater can’t flow properly, leading to overflowing water, sagging gutters, and even foundation damage.

If trees surround your home, or you notice water spilling over the edge during rainfall, it’s a sign your gutters may need attention more often — sometimes every 3–4 months.

At Ernesto Najera Gutters, LLC, we offer both one-time cleanings and routine maintenance plans to keep your system working year-round. Regular cleaning not only protects your home but also extends the life of your gutters and downspouts.

Tip: Clean gutters are quiet gutters — if you hear dripping, gurgling, or overflowing water, it’s time to call us.
