Pre-Winter Gutter Cleaning in Kansas City

What this is and why it matters in KC

The single most important annual gutter maintenance in KC is cleaning before winter. Why: when leaves and debris fill the gutter and freeze, water has nowhere to go. It backs up onto the roof, forms ice dams, and seeps under shingles into your ceilings.

Best timing: 1-2 weeks after peak fall leaf drop (typically late October to mid-November in KC).
