Our LeafFilter team is located right here in Albany at 12 Petra Lane, and we’ve seen how falling leaves and seasonal debris can clog gutters. Our locally trained professionals can clean out your gutters and recommend long-term solutions to help protect your home.
Signs Your Gutters Need Cleaning in Albany
We’ve helped homeowners throughout Albany for years, and our team has seen just about every gutter situation. Here’s what we look for when assessing if your gutters need cleaning.
Protecting Your Home Starts with LeafFilter
Preserve Your Home’s Value
Clogged gutters threaten your property’s structural integrity and curb appeal. In the Capital Region, spring downpours and autumn foliage from abundant maple and oak trees create constant maintenance challenges. Professional gutter cleaning helps preserve your investment and prepares your home for every season.
Stop Water Damage Before It Starts
Foundation cracks, basement flooding, and siding deterioration often stem from overflowing gutters during heavy rainfall. Albany’s weather patterns—from April showers to November storms—make regular inspection and cleaning essential. Addressing gutter blockages promptly helps prevent water damage that leads to expensive repairs down the road.
Regular Gutter Maintenance
Most Capital Region homeowners benefit from gutter cleaning at least twice yearly, typically in late spring and after leaves fall. Homes surrounded by trees may require more frequent attention. For those seeking to reduce ongoing maintenance, LeafFilter offers gutter guard systems designed to help prevent clogs year-round.
Benefits of Regular Gutter Cleaning Services
Prevent Foundation Damage
In Albany, where we experience significant rainfall throughout the year, clogged gutters can spell trouble for your home’s foundation. When leaves and debris block your gutters, water has nowhere to go but over the sides, pooling around your foundation. Left unchecked, this can cause cracks, settling, and moisture problems in your basement—repairs that can cost thousands. Regular gutter cleaning helps keep water flowing away from your foundation where it belongs. For a longer-term solution, LeafFilter’s fully trained and insured local professionals can help protect your home’s structural integrity year-round.
Potential Cost:
$5,000 – $40,000
Reduce Roof and Fascia Deterioration
Your roof takes a beating from Albany’s weather, and clogged gutters only make things worse. When gutters fill with debris, water backs up under your roof edges. This standing water rots fascia boards and damages roofing materials—problems that cost far more to fix than routine gutter maintenance. Keeping your gutters clean ensures water flows properly away from these vulnerable areas. For homeowners who want to help prevent water damage caused by clogged gutters, LeafFilter offers solutions designed to help protect your home all year-round.
Potential Cost:
$3,000 – $15,000
Stop Pest Infestations
Here’s something many Albany homeowners don’t realize: those clogged gutters are basically a pest hotel. The combination of standing water and decomposing debris attracts mosquitoes, rodents, and other unwanted guests. Once these pests set up shop in your gutters, they often find their way into your home, creating health concerns and expensive extermination bills. Cleaning your gutters regularly helps remove these breeding grounds. LeafFilter provides full gutter system protection that helps prevent debris from entering the gutter in the first place, offering a long-term solution to help stop pest problems before they start.
Potential Cost:
$2,000 – $8,000

Gutter Cleaning Schedule for Albany
Spring Cleaning
Spring Gutter Cleaning in Albany
Albany springs bring melting snow, steady rain, and trees coming back to life—and all of that puts stress on your gutters. Winter leaves behind debris like twigs, leaves, and sediment that can clog things up. When those spring storms roll through, blocked gutters overflow and water ends up where it shouldn’t—on your roof, siding, or near your foundation. Getting your gutters professionally cleaned helps keep everything working the way it should during this critical time. Professional gutter cleaners can spot problems you might miss, clear out blockages completely, and help you avoid expensive water damage down the road. Most Albany homeowners schedule their spring cleaning in April or May, right when rainfall averages 3-4 inches per month. Having pros handle this seasonal maintenance helps protect your home during the transition from winter weather to spring rains.
Fall Cleaning
Why Fall Gutter Maintenance Matters
Albany’s fall colors are gorgeous, but all those leaves have to go somewhere—and that’s usually your gutters. When maples and oaks start dropping their leaves in fall, gutters fill up fast with debris that stops water from draining the way it should. You’ll want your gutters clear before winter hits. When gutters stay clogged through winter, standing water adds weight to your system and can damage your home’s exterior. Professional gutter cleaners understand what Albany’s changing seasons do to your gutters and can make sure everything’s clear and working right. Most Albany homeowners schedule fall cleaning in late October or early November, giving their homes time to prepare for winter. Having experienced professionals handle your fall gutter maintenance means your home is ready for whatever winter brings.

“I put in an apartment in my lower level, and moved in my tenants. Things were fine for several months. Until we got a heavy rain. The apartment flooded. It’s now been 5 times. One contractor thought is was the egress window; another thought I needed to put in a french drain, and yet another wanted to re-pitch the patio, and put a drain in. Price — $11 K. I noticed most of the water seemed to be coming off the roof of the house. I called my sister, checked into roof cleaning, and came upon LeafFilter, which I had not heard of since I don’t watch t.v. The responded immediately; sent someone out that afternoon; she was great! Warm, informative, helpful. Since storms were pending, she scheduled a crew to come out the next day. They cleaned, sealed, re-pitched & protected my gutters. That afternoon, the rain did not pool at the corners of the house. We have had no more problems, in spite of some heavy rains. Thank you, LeafFilter!”

“My project required cleaning and repairing clogged and dangling existing gutters in front of my house; and, installing new seamless gutters in the rear of the house. Additionally, the crew was to install the leaf filtering system on both sets of gutters to preclude the need for any further gutter cleaning in the future. The crew arrived on time, was very professional, and did a great job with the repairs, installation, and post project cleanup. I am very pleased with my decision to go with LeafFilter. The cost was reasonable and well worth it.“

“The gentleman who came and gave me my estimate was very knowledgeable and thorough in his product presentation. The work was scheduled to be done within three days. The installer who came to my home was efficient and the entire job was done within four hours. I would have never known he was there as clean up was stellar (no bits and pieces of product left anywhere). Gutters and downspouts were cleaned prior to installation. Job well done! Thank you Leaf Filter. No more ladders for me!!!”
