Your Questions Answered
Common questions about gutter cleaning in the Ithaca & Finger Lakes area
With Finger Lakes tree coverage, most homes need gutters cleaned twice a year: late spring and after fall leaf drop. Mature trees overhanging the roof may call for a mid-season check too.
Every visit includes debris removal, downspout flushing, and a post-clean inspection. If we spot damage — loose brackets, separated seams, drainage issues — we flag it and handle minor repairs on the spot. Larger structural repairs get noted and quoted separately.
Clear gutters let melting snow drain instead of backing up at the roofline, one of the most common causes of ice dams here. Cleaning before the first hard freeze is one of the simplest ways to lower that risk.
Yes. We install gutter guards as an add-on alongside cleaning, which cuts down on future cleanings. Ask about it when you request your quote.
Yes, though likely less often. Guards block most large debris, but fine particles like shingle grit, pollen, and seed pods still work their way through over time and build up inside the trough. Downspouts can clog too, regardless of what's covering the opening above. A periodic professional cleaning catches what guards miss and keeps the whole system draining properly.

“Six Mile cleaning did an amazing job on our house. The house had loads of algae on the siding and moss growing on the roof and they got it completely clear. They also did a gutter cleaning which was long overdue. Oliver and his crew arrived on time, did a beautiful job, and completely cleaned up all the mess. I couldn't be happier!! I even thought the price was reasonable.”

“Great job. House looks bright and clean. Gutters, downspouts, and soffits look like new. Squeezed us in with short notice to accommodate a family party. Thank you.”
— Dennis Christiansen
“Excellent service. We did not want to clean our 2nd floor gutters ourselves. They came out and gave us a very reasonable quote, so we were able to afford getting our windows and screens cleaned too. Highly recommend”
