Do my gutters actually need it?

Two quick tools. The first tells you whether a cleaning is urgent, worth booking, or a waste of money right now. The second gives you a real local cost range so a quote can't take you for a ride.

Do my gutters actually need it?

Three honest questions. Sometimes the answer is "not yet, save your money" and we'll say so.

1 · Trees over the roof?
None nearby
Some
Lots / overhanging
2 · Last cleaned?
Under 6 months
6–12 months
Over a year / never
3 · Gutter guards installed?
Yes
No
THE VERDICT
A rule of thumb, not a roof inspection. After a big storm or if water's spilling over the front edge, clean regardless of what this says.

BALLPARK RANGE
Get matched with a vetted pro →
Typical Sacramento-area hand-cleaning ranges; a one-story bungalow sits near the bottom, a large two-story near the top. Steep roofs, guards, and severe buildup add cost. Not a quote.
