As summer approaches, your home maintenance checklist should include one critical task: cleaning your gutters. In Colorado, where summer storms can bring heavy rain and wind, keeping your gutters clear and functioning properly protects your home from serious water damage.
At Colorado Gutter Professionals — a woman-owned, family-operated company based in Aurora — we know how important it is to stay ahead of issues before they become costly repairs. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your gutters in top shape this summer.
Why Summer Gutter Cleaning Matters
Protect Your Home from Water Damage
Gutters exist for one reason: to direct rainwater away from your foundation. When they’re clogged, sagging, or broken, water pools where it shouldn’t — damaging siding, ruining landscaping, and putting your home’s structure at risk.
Our local, family-run gutter team ensures your gutters are cleaned thoroughly and flowing freely, especially during Colorado’s unpredictable summer storms.
Risks of Neglecting Gutter Maintenance
Skipping regular cleanings can lead to:
Foundation damage from water pooling
Wood rot and mold along your roofline
Cracks in walls or ceilings
Nesting pests and mosquito breeding grounds
Detached or broken gutters from built-up weight
These aren’t just annoying — they’re expensive. Preventing problems now is far cheaper than repairing damage later.
Summer Gutter Cleaning Checklist
Step 1: Prep for the Job
If you're planning to clean your gutters yourself, start with:
A stable ladder
Gloves and a gutter scoop
A garden hose
Trash bags or buckets
Safety goggles
Also check for signs of damage: rust, holes, sagging sections, or separation from the roofline. If anything looks questionable, give our team a call — we’ll inspect it for you.
Step 2: Clear Debris and Flush
Scoop out leaves, pine needles, and dirt from your gutters. Then use a hose to flush the system and check that water flows easily through your downspouts. If water backs up or flows out the sides, there may be a clog or misalignment that needs repair.
Common Gutter Problems in Summer
Recognizing Gutter Damage
Some issues are easy to miss until it’s too late. Watch for:
Dripping seams or corners
Overflow during even light rain
Gutters pulling away from the roof
Water stains on your siding or near the foundation
If you spot any of these, don’t wait — contact our expert team for a fast, affordable fix.
Preventing Overflow with Gutter Guards
Installing gutter guards can greatly reduce how often you need to clean your gutters. These covers stop leaves and debris from entering your system, which helps water flow freely.
Many homeowners turn to LeafFilter because of their national advertising — but the follow-up service often falls short. We’ve had plenty of customers switch to us after being left hanging.
At Colorado Gutter Professionals, we offer personalized gutter guard solutions with real follow-up and local support. We clean, inspect, and install guards to keep your home protected all season long.
Long-Term Maintenance Strategies
How Often Should You Clean Your Gutters?
We recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year — once in the spring and again in the fall. But if you have tall trees nearby or experience heavy storms, summer cleaning is essential too.
For homeowners who want peace of mind, we offer scheduled gutter maintenance plans so you never have to worry about forgetting.
Extend the Life of Your Gutter System
Regular gutter cleanings, inspections, and repairs can easily double the lifespan of your gutters. It’s a small investment that saves you thousands down the line. And because we’re a small, family-run company, we take the time to do it right — no shortcuts.
Why Hire a Gutter Professional?

If you’re not comfortable on ladders or dealing with roof edges, it’s best to call a gutter professional. Also, if your gutters still overflow after you clean them, you may be dealing with a deeper issue that requires repair or replacement.
