When Lee gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf sugar maple, red maple, American beech, white birch, northern red oak, eastern white pine, and eastern hemlock, drop heavy debris into roof channels. Maple seed wings fall during spring, followed by acorns and pine needles, while the main leaf drop usually peaks in early October. In Lee, freezing nights, snow, and ice dams make clear gutters essential before winter sets in. Standing water in clogged channels freezes, pulling gutters away from the roofline and damaging the fascia. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to protect your property against harsh Berkshire County weather.
