Gutter Cleaning in Jacksonville, FL
Clogged gutters cause the kind of damage you don't notice until it's expensive — fascia rot, foundation pooling, and ceiling leaks. FixAway clears gutters and downspouts on Jacksonville homes year-round, with extra appointments before hurricane season.
Standard Gutter Cleaning
We hand-clear every section of your gutters, bag the debris, and flush the entire system with water from the high end down to verify proper flow. We use sturdy ladders rated for the work — no shortcuts. After cleaning, we walk you through any spots showing wear (rusted seams, pulled fasteners, separating end caps) and quote a repair only if you ask.
Downspout Unclogging
When water backs up out of the gutter at one corner during rain, the downspout is clogged. We snake the spout from the top, clear the clog, and pressure-flush to verify free flow. If the spout is crushed or detached at a seam, we re-secure or replace it on the spot.
Minor Gutter Repair & Re-securing
Florida's afternoon storms are hard on fasteners. Aluminum gutters pull away from fascia when spike-and-ferrule fasteners loosen. We replace failed spikes with hidden-hanger screws (much stronger), re-seal end caps, and patch small holes. We don't install new gutter runs or replace fascia — for those bigger jobs we'll refer you to a gutter specialist.
How A Typical Appointment Works
Every gutter cleaning visit starts with a scope review focused on standard gutter cleaning and downspout unclogging. We confirm access, existing conditions, and the most efficient order of work before starting so your project stays predictable and aligned with your priorities.
During the job, we communicate progress and any adjustments in plain language. At completion, we run a functional check, share care recommendations, and clean the work area so your space is fully usable.
If additional issues are discovered mid-visit, we explain options with clear tradeoffs so you can decide whether to complete everything now or stage the remaining scope in a follow-up plan.
This planning-first approach keeps scope transparent, reduces return visits, and helps homeowners align labor time with budget and scheduling constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Jacksonville?
Single-story home up to 1,800 sq ft: $125–$200. Two-story home up to 2,500 sq ft: $200–$325. Larger homes or homes with significant tree cover may run higher. Annual recurring customers receive a discounted rate.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Florida?
At minimum twice a year: once in late spring (after oak pollen and leaf drop) and once in late fall (after the last leaf drop). Homes under heavy oak or pine cover may need quarterly cleaning. Always before hurricane season.
Why do my gutters overflow during heavy rain even after cleaning?
Three common causes: (1) downspouts are clogged below the gutter (we flush them), (2) gutters are undersized for the roof — common on older Jax homes — and need a 6-inch upgrade, or (3) gutters are pitched wrong and water sits in the middle. We diagnose all three.
Are gutter guards worth it?
Mixed answer. They reduce cleaning frequency from twice a year to once every 2–3 years on most Jacksonville homes — but they don't eliminate cleaning, and bad ones (foam inserts) cause more problems than they solve. Quality micro-mesh guards are worth it; cheap mesh is not.
Can you clean gutters in the rain?
Light drizzle is fine. Heavy rain or wind we'll reschedule — both for safety and to avoid making a muddy mess of your yard with debris. We monitor the radar and call ahead if weather looks marginal.
