How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned in the PNW?

At minimum, once a year for homes without many trees nearby — fall (October–November) is the cleaning that matters most. When there's foliage around the house, we recommend twice a year: once in spring (April–May) and once in fall (October–November). Homes with large trees overhead or heavy canopy should clean 3–4 times annually. Oregon's 7-month rainy season means clogged gutters cause damage faster than in drier climates. If trees drop leaves on your roof and it's been more than 6 months since your last cleaning, it's time.
