Clogged gutters quietly damage roofs, fascia, and foundations long before you notice a stain on the ceiling. Our Lexington-area crew clears them by hand, flushes every downspout, and leaves you with before-and-after proof.
M&M Gutters is a local gutter cleaning company serving Lexington and the surrounding counties, from Scott and Bourbon down through Jessamine, Woodford, and Clark. Most of the calls we get start the same way: water spilling over the front edge during a storm, a downspout that has stopped draining, or seeds and shingle grit packed into the trough after a windy week. We clear all of it out, check the slope and seams while we are up there, and tell you straight whether anything needs a repair.
You do not have to babysit the job either. We bag the debris, haul it off, run water through the system to confirm it actually drains, and send photos so you can see the difference without climbing a ladder.
A gutter has one job: move roof water away from the house. When it's packed with leaves and grit, the water has to go somewhere, and it usually picks the most expensive route.
Overflow runs down the fascia and soffit, which is how you end up with rotted wood trim and peeling paint. It pools at the foundation, where it can seep into a basement or crawlspace and crack the slab over time. Standing water and rotting debris also turn the trough into a nesting spot for mosquitoes, wasps, and the occasional rodent. In short, a $200 cleaning is a lot cheaper than the repairs it prevents.
If your gutters already pull away from the house or leak at the corners, that's a separate fix. We handle both, so ask us to look while we're up there. See our gutter repair service if you suspect damage.
No vague "we'll take a look." Here's exactly what happens when our crew shows up.
We walk the roofline and check for sagging sections, loose hangers, and existing leaks before touching anything.
Debris comes out by hand, not blown around your yard. Heavy buildup, shingle grit, and seed pods all get removed from the trough.
We run water through every downspout to confirm it drains. A clean gutter that won't empty is still a clogged gutter.
While we're up there, we look for low spots that hold water and joints that have started to leak, then flag anything worth fixing.
All the debris leaves with us. Your beds and lawn stay clean. No piles left by the side of the house.
You get before-and-after photos and a quick rundown of what we found, so you know the job was done right.
The standard answer is twice a year. In central Kentucky, with mature trees and the kind of winters we get, the timing matters more than the number.
If you have oaks, maples, or pines hanging over the roof, plan on a second fall cleaning after the last leaves drop in late November. Skip it and that debris freezes solid, which is where ice dams start.
Pollen, maple "helicopters," and budding debris clog troughs right before the heavy spring storms roll through. Clean before April.
A quick mid-season check after storms. Wind packs grit and small branches into corners that block flow during the next downpour.
The big one. Leaf drop runs into late November here, so one early-fall and one late-fall cleaning beats a single pass.
Clogged gutters trap snowmelt that refreezes into ice dams, backing water under the shingles. A clean trough drains instead.
Guards reduce how often you need a cleaning, but they don't make the gutters maintenance-free, and any installer who tells you otherwise is selling. Here's the straight version.
| Consideration | Regular cleaning | Gutter guards |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Low, per visit | Higher, one-time install |
| Ongoing upkeep | Two visits a year | Less frequent, but still needs checks |
| Heavy leaf areas | Reliable when done on schedule | Cuts buildup, fine debris can still pass |
| Pine needles & grit | Fully removed each visit | Depends on the guard type and mesh |
| Best for | Most homes, budget-conscious owners | Tall, hard-to-reach, or heavily wooded roofs |
For a lot of homes around Lexington, scheduled cleaning is the simpler, cheaper call. If your roof is steep or surrounded by trees, guards can be worth it. We install and clean both, so we'll give you a recommendation based on your actual roof, not a quota. Learn more about our gutter guard installation.
Lexington is home base for most of our work, and we cover the homes and small commercial buildings across Fayette County and the counties around it. If you're nearby and don't see your town listed, call and ask.
Cleaning is one piece of it. If your visit turns up something worse, we handle the rest in-house.
Old gutters sagging or overflowing every storm? We size and pitch a brand-new gutter installation to your roofline so water finally drains where it should, and we can pair it with seamless profiles for a cleaner finish.
Seams are the first place a gutter starts to leak. Our custom seamless gutters are roll-formed on-site in one continuous run, so there's nowhere for water to sneak through and far fewer callbacks later.
A pulled-away section or a leaky corner rarely means starting over. A targeted gutter repair that reseals joints, re-pitches sags, and refastens loose runs usually buys you years for a fraction of the cost.
Tired of twice-a-year cleanings? The right gutter guard system keeps leaves and pine needles out so water keeps flowing, which pays off fast on the wooded lots around Lexington. We match the guard to your trees instead of upselling you.
When gutters are rusted through or past saving, patching is throwing good money after bad. A full gutter replacement restores proper drainage and protects your foundation for the long haul.
From routine cleaning to full installs, see everything M&M Gutters handles across Lexington and the surrounding counties. One local crew for the whole gutter system.
Twice a year is the baseline: once in spring and once in fall. If you have a lot of trees over the roof, a second fall cleaning after the leaves finish dropping is worth it, since that's what prevents ice dams over the winter.
You can, and plenty of people do. The honest catch is that ladder falls are one of the most common home-injury causes, and from the ground you can't see the sag, the leaking seam, or the spot that doesn't drain. We're insured, we're already up there, and we flag the small fixes before they become big ones.
It depends on the size of the home, the roof height, and how much buildup is in there. Single-story homes cost less than two-story or steep roofs. Call us with your rough gutter length and roof type and we'll give you a real number over the phone, with no surprise add-ons on the invoice.
Yes. Clean gutters going into winter are the best defense against ice dams, because clogged troughs trap snowmelt that refreezes and backs water under your shingles. If you've already got buildup heading into a cold snap, get it cleared before the freeze sets in.
We do. Guards cut down on how often you need a cleaning, especially on wooded lots, though they still need the occasional check. Take a look at our gutter guards page or ask us during your cleaning and we'll tell you whether they'd pay off for your roof.
Spend ten minutes on the phone now and save yourself a fascia repair later. We cover Lexington and the surrounding counties, from Scott and Bourbon to Jessamine and Woodford.
