Gutters are the cheapest thing on the outside of your house and they protect the most expensive thing, which is the foundation. A clogged gutter does not just overflow. It holds standing water against the fascia, ices up at the eave in winter, and dumps concentrated runoff exactly where you least want it.

What this means in Manitou Springs specifically

Tree cover and organic staining

Dense canyon tree cover produces the heaviest organic staining we deal with, particularly on north and east elevations that see little direct sun.

Elevation and sun exposure

Over 6,400 feet in a canyon, so glass gets intense UV but also long shaded periods that encourage organic growth on north-facing panes.

Dust and wind exposure

Canyon winds channel grit through town, and the narrow streets concentrate road dust on street-facing elevations.

Manitou Springs sits at approximately 6,412 feet.

How we do it

1
Clear by hand
Hand clearing rather than blowing, because blowing relocates debris onto the roof and into the landscaping and it does nothing for the packed sludge at the bottom.
2
Bag and remove
Debris leaves with us. Leaving a pile of wet gutter muck in the beds is not a finished job.
3
Flush every downspout
Water run through each downspout to confirm it actually drains. A clear gutter feeding a blocked downspout is still a blocked system.
4
Report what we saw
We are on a ladder at your roof line anyway. Loose hangers, separated seams, and rotted fascia get photographed and sent to you.

What it costs

Priced by linear footage and stories, with steep or hard-to-access roof lines costing more. Most single-story homes are a modest flat fee.

Gutter Cleaning questions from Manitou Springs

How often do gutters need cleaning?

Twice a year for most homes, in late spring and again after leaf drop. Under heavy tree cover, three or four times. Homes with almost no tree cover can often stretch to once a year.

Do gutter guards mean I never clean them again?

No, and any company telling you otherwise is overselling. Guards dramatically reduce how much gets in and how often you need service. Fine grit, shingle granules, and seed pods still accumulate, and guards themselves need clearing.

Why not just blow them out?

Blowing is faster and that is the entire appeal. It leaves the packed wet sludge at the bottom, throws debris across your roof and beds, and tells you nothing about whether the downspouts flow.

What happens if I skip it?

Overflow saturates the ground at your foundation, water backs up under the shingle edge, and in winter that trapped water is what forms ice dams. It is a cheap service preventing expensive problems.
