Gutter Maintenance
Twice-yearly cleaning protects your foundation, siding, and landscaping. Hand cleaning, photo inspection, and recurring service plans across the NC Foothills.
Clogged gutters are the most preventable cause of expensive home damage in the NC Foothills. When water can't flow freely to the downspouts, it backs up under the roofline, overflows down siding, pools at the foundation, and erodes landscaping. The damage is often invisible at first — and very expensive to fix.
Twice-yearly gutter maintenance is one of the highest-ROI things you can do for your home. Foothills Gutter Pro offers professional gutter cleaning and maintenance throughout Catawba, Caldwell, and Alexander Counties — so you don't have to climb a ladder, deal with rotting leaves, or risk a fall.
What a Maintenance Visit Includes
- Hand cleaning of all gutters — leaves, seed pods, shingle grit, and debris removed
- Downspout flushing — every downspout cleared and tested with running water
- Flow test — we run water through every gutter run to confirm proper drainage
- Visual inspection — checking hangers, seams, end caps, and fascia for early problems
- Photo report — pictures of any issues found, with a recommendation for fix or watch-list
- Job site cleanup — debris hauled away, beds cleaned up, no mess left behind
Why Twice a Year?
In our region, the two critical cleanings are late spring (after the pollen, oak tassels, and seed-fall is done) and late fall (after the leaves are down). Homes with heavy overhanging trees often benefit from 3–4 cleanings per year. The cost of a single cleaning is far less than the cost of repairing fascia rot, foundation damage, or a flooded basement.
Recurring Service Plans
Most of our maintenance customers sign up for a recurring service plan — we automatically schedule your spring and fall cleanings and remind you a few days ahead. No need to remember, no need to call. We just show up, do the work, and email you the inspection report.
Photo Inspection Report
You get pictures of anything we found — debris before/after, hanger issues, sealant problems, fascia concerns. Full transparency.
No Pressure Repairs
If we find an issue during cleaning, we'll show you photos and tell you what we'd recommend. No surprise charges added to your bill — repairs are always quoted separately.
Set It & Forget It
Our recurring spring/fall plans take this off your to-do list permanently. We schedule, we remind, we show up, we email the report.
Insured & Bonded

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gutter cleaning cost?
Most single-family home gutter cleanings in our service area run $150–$350, depending on home size, story count, and accessibility. Two-story homes and homes with heavy tree coverage are typically on the higher end. We provide a flat-rate quote up front — no surprises.
How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
At minimum, twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall. Homes with heavy overhanging trees (oaks, pines, sweet gums) often need 3–4 cleanings per year. Skipping cleanings is one of the most common causes of foundation damage and fascia rot in our region.
Do you clean gutters in the rain or winter?
We schedule around weather as much as possible. Light rain doesn't stop us, but heavy rain or freezing conditions do — for crew safety. Winter cleanings are usually scheduled on dry days above 40°F whenever possible.
What do you do with the debris?
We bag and haul it away as part of the service. You don't end up with a pile of rotting leaves on your lawn or in your beds. Job site is left cleaner than we found it.
Will you check for problems while you're up there?
Yes — every cleaning includes a visual inspection of hangers, seams, end caps, and visible fascia. If we find something concerning, we take photos and email them to you with our recommendation. You decide whether to address it or watch it.
Can I sign up for automatic recurring cleanings?
Yes. We offer recurring spring/fall plans where we automatically schedule both cleanings, send you a reminder a few days before, and email the inspection report after. Most customers prefer this over calling each season.
