Gutter Repair & Cleaning Before the Monsoon Hits

Most gutters fail one small piece at a time: a leaking corner, a sagging run, a clogged downspout. Fixing them before July is far cheaper than repairing stucco after.

Common repairs

What we fix most often

Clogged gutter overflowing onto a stucco wall during a storm

Sagging gutters

Old spike-and-ferrule hangers pull out of the fascia. We re-hang runs on hidden screw-in hangers and reset the pitch.

Leaking corners and joints

We clean out the old sealant, re-rivet and reseal corners, end caps and seams.

Downspout problems

Loose, crushed or disconnected downspouts get re-strapped, replaced or extended away from the wall.

Cleaning

Gutter cleaning that is timed for New Mexico

Our gutters fill up differently than gutters back east. Spring winds blow in dust, tumbleweed fragments and roof grit. Cottonwood fluff arrives in May. Elms and ashes drop seeds and leaves, and pines drop needles year-round in the East Mountains.

The most important cleaning of the year is in June, before the monsoon. A second cleaning in late fall handles leaves and needles before snow. We clear every run by hand, flush the downspouts, and check for leaks while we are up there.

Repair or replace

When repair stops making sense

Repairs make sense when the gutter itself is sound and only a few spots are failing. If your gutters are sectional and leaking at most of the joints, sagging along most of their length, or rusted through, a new seamless system usually costs less over the next few years than repeated repairs.

We will tell you honestly which side of that line your gutters are on. If replacement makes more sense, see seamless gutter installation.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How often should gutters be cleaned in Albuquerque?

Once a year in early summer is enough for most homes. Homes under pines, elms or cottonwoods usually need a second cleaning in fall.

Can you repair a gutter instead of replacing it?

Often yes. Sagging runs, leaking corners and loose downspouts are all repairable if the gutter metal is still in good shape.

Do you clean canales and scuppers too?

Yes. We clear roof debris from canale openings and scuppers on flat roofs as part of a cleaning visit.

Would gutter guards stop the cleaning?

Guards greatly reduce cleaning, especially under trees. See gutter guards.
