When Hopkinton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop constant waste. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by heavy oak acorns, late fall leaf dumps, and persistent pine needles. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling gutters right before cold weather begins. In Hopkinton, freezing nights happen frequently throughout winter, creating severe ice dams in clogged channels that damage roof boards and pull hardware away from fascia. To protect your property, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, once during spring and once in fall before freezing temperatures start.
