When Golden gutters fill up
Local trees dump thick piles of leaves, needles, and heavy seeds every fall, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October across Golden. Freezing nights happen regularly throughout winter, making snow accumulation and ice dams in gutters a real local hazard. Heavy ice buildup blocks normal water flow, pushing freezing runoff beneath shingle edges. We strongly recommend scheduling professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during early spring and late fall. A thorough spring gutter cleaning removes winter grit and broken twigs, while late fall visits remove dry leaves before heavy winter snowstorms hit Colorado. Maintaining clean channels prevents expensive ice damage when sudden spring melts arrive.
