Gutter cleaning, done by hand.
Under the Peninsula’s tree canopy, gutters clog faster than anyone expects. We clear them by hand, flush every downspout until it runs clear, and tell you what we found. Book before the rains, not after the overflow.

Hand-cleared gutters and flushed downspouts under the Peninsula’s heavy tree canopy.
The cheapest water-damage insurance there is.
A clogged gutter doesn't fail quietly. Water backs up over the edge, runs down the fascia, and lands at the foundation — exactly where you don't want it. Under heavy tree cover, that can happen within a single season of neglect.
We clear gutters by hand rather than blowing debris around, then flush every downspout to confirm the whole run actually drains. Blowers move the problem; they don't prove the system works.
Every job includes a look at the hardware itself — sagging sections, pulled spikes, separated seams, rust. You get told what we found, not just an invoice. Most Peninsula properties need this twice a year: once after leaf drop, once before the rains.
Twice a year on the Peninsula. Here’s when.
Late September through November is the one that matters. With an El Niño Advisory in effect for this winter, it matters more than usual. Leaf drop fills gutters just before the first real storms, and a clogged gutter in the first November rain is how water ends up in fascia, foundations and crawlspaces. If you book one cleaning a year, book this one.
Spring is the second. Redwood litter, oak catkins and winter debris pack down over the rainy season and dry into a mat that blocks downspouts. Clearing it before summer keeps the system ready for fall and lets us spot rust, sag and pulled hangers while everything is dry.
Homes under redwoods, eucalyptus or big oaks in Millbrae, Hillsborough and Burlingame sometimes need a third visit. A clogged downspout is the usual symptom: water pouring over the edge in one spot while the rest of the gutter looks fine. We flush every downspout on every job, so that gets caught before it becomes a leak.
Four services.
Obsessively executed.
Common gutter calls: post-rainy-season clearing, pre-winter downspout flushing, heavy tree-canopy properties needing twice-yearly service, and gutter guard recommendations.

Gutter Cleaning & Inspection across the Peninsula.
Questions we actually get.
How much does gutter cleaning cost?
Most Peninsula homes run in the low hundreds depending on linear footage, height, and how full the gutters are. Every quote is free.
How often should gutters be cleaned on the Peninsula?
Twice a year for most properties — after autumn leaf drop and before the winter rains. Homes under heavy oak or pine canopy may need a third visit.
Do you clear downspouts too?
Always. We flush every downspout to confirm the whole run drains — clearing the trough without testing the downspouts is half a job.
What happens if gutters stay clogged?
Water overflows the back edge, rots fascia boards, and dumps at the foundation — the most expensive place on your property to have a water problem.
Do you install gutter guards?
We'll give you a straight recommendation on whether guards make sense for your tree cover, and can point you to the right product — no upsell.
Will you tell me if you find damage?
Yes. Every cleaning includes a look at sagging sections, pulled fasteners, separated seams, and rust, reported to you with photos.
My downspout is clogged. Can you fix it?
Yes, and it’s included in every gutter cleaning. A clogged downspout usually shows up as water sheeting over the gutter edge in one place during rain. We clear the gutter by hand, then flush each downspout from the top until it runs clear at the bottom. If a downspout is blocked underground where it ties into a drain, we’ll tell you so you can get it cleared.
When is the best time to clean gutters on the Peninsula?
Fall, before the first storms, ideally October or early November after most of the leaf drop. Spring is the second-best time. If you only do it once a year, do it in fall.
Do you clean gutters in Millbrae, Hillsborough and San Mateo?
Yes, every week. We’re based in Burlingame and cover Millbrae, Hillsborough, San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos, Foster City, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Atherton, Woodside, Palo Alto and Los Altos. Gutter cleaning is usually scheduled within a few days.
