How often to clean
Many homes need cleaning once or twice a year, usually in late fall after leaves drop and again in spring. Homes under pine trees or heavy tree cover may need more. If clogs are constant, compare the cost of guards (gutter guard cost).
Falls from ladders are a leading cause of home injuries. If your home is two stories or more, or the roof is steep, hire a pro.
