💡 Pro Tip from Stanley
Most Baltimore homeowners only think about their gutters when there's a problem. By then, water has usually already found its way into the fascia, soffit, or foundation. A simple twice-yearly cleaning schedule prevents 90% of the issues we get called out to fix.
Baltimore’s four distinct seasons each bring different challenges for your gutters—spring pollen and seed pods, summer thunderstorms, fall leaves, and winter ice. Knowing what to do and when to do it is the key to a gutter system that lasts decades instead of years.

“I tell every customer the same thing: two cleanings a year keeps the warranty valid, keeps the fascia dry, and keeps you off my emergency call list in January.” — Stanley Mattatall, Owner — Gutters Baltimore
