When Nantucket 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 debris onto nearby roofs. In spring, maple seed wings fill open channels, while fall brings a heavy carpet of fallen leaves and acorns. Winter brings freezing nights and snow to Nantucket, which makes clogged systems trap heavy slush and moisture. We recommend scheduling a residential gutter cleaning service at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep systems flowing. Timely seasonal clearings protect your roof edge from weight stress and ensure winter melt moves cleanly into each downspout during cold weather snaps.
