Why gutter cleaning matters
When gutters back up with leaves, debris, and sediment, water overflows and pools against your foundation, fascia, and siding. Over time this causes rot, mold, basement leaks, and costly structural repairs. We recommend most NH homeowners clean gutters at least twice per year — once in late spring and once in late fall after leaves are down.
What's included
- Clearing all debris from gutters
- Flushing downspouts to check for blockages
- Checking for proper pitch and drainage
- Checking gutter hangers and seams for obvious issues

Gutter cleaning cost in NH
Most NH homes cost $150–$250 for a standard gutter cleaning, depending on linear footage, height, and how long it's been since the last cleaning. Heavily clogged gutters or homes with three or more stories may run higher. We provide free estimates before any work begins.
Ice dams and clogged gutters
In NH, clogged gutters are a direct contributor to ice dams — the buildup of ice along the roofline that forces meltwater back under shingles. Keeping gutters clear in late fall allows water to drain properly instead of refreezing at the eave. It's one of the most cost-effective things you can do before winter to protect your roof and interior.
Related services
Many customers combine gutter cleaning with house washing or roof washing in the same visit — ask about bundling when you request your estimate.
Gutter brightening — tiger stripe removal
Tiger stripes are the dark vertical streaks that run down the outside face of gutters. They're caused by a combination of oxidation, algae, and electrostatic bonding of dirt — and they won't come off with a garden hose or standard pressure washing. We use a specific chemical treatment (often called gutter brightening) that breaks down the bonded staining and restores the white or painted finish of your gutter faces. The difference is dramatic and often makes gutters look brand new.
Tiger stripe removal is available as a standalone service or as an add-on to gutter cleaning or house washing — since we're already on-site and set up, it's the most efficient time to have it done.
