Professional Gutter Cleaning Service

Professional Gutter Cleaning Service Hempstead - R&M ROOFERS LLC

Three weeks ago, Mrs. Johnson from Baldwin called us in a panic. Water was pouring over her gutters like Niagara Falls, flooding her basement during that nasty storm we had. Her gutters hadn’t been cleaned in two years, and now she was looking at thousands in water damage. This happens way too often around Nassau County, and it’s completely preventible.

I’m Mike Rodriguez, and my partner Rick Martinez and I have been cleaning gutters across Hempstead, Baldwin, Uniondale, and West Hempstead for over eight years. We’ve seen what happens when gutters get ignored – foundation cracks, basement floods, and roof damage that could cost you ten times more than regular maintenance.

Here’s the thing about gutter cleaning service in Hempstead: our Long Island weather is brutal on gutters. Between the oak leaves in fall, ice dams in winter, and spring storms, your gutters take a beating year-round. Most homeowners think they can handle it themselves until they’re standing on a wobbly ladder at 2 PM on a Saturday, realizing this was a terrible idea.

Gutter Cleaning

When people ask me “what’s included in gutter cleaning?” I tell them it’s way more than just scooping out leaves. Real gutter cleaning means checking every downspout, testing water flow, inspecting for loose brackets, and making sure everything drains properly away from your foundation.

We clean out all debris – leaves, twigs, that weird black sludge that builds up, and yes, sometimes dead animals (sorry, but it happens). Then we flush every downspout to make sure water flows freely. If we find clogs deep in the downspouts, we use our snake tools to clear them out completely.

The biggest mistake homeowners make? They clean the gutters but ignore the downspouts. Water backs up, overflows, and you’re back where you started. We test everything before we leave your property.

Our gutter cleaning process covers every section of your roofline. We move our ladders multiple times – none of that dangerous leaning and stretching that damages gutters and risks falls. Each section gets individual attention, and we check the pitch to ensure proper drainage toward downspouts.

Most Hempstead homes need gutter cleaning twice a year minimum. If you have oak trees or maples in your yard, you might need three cleanings. Those massive oak trees on Peninsula Boulevard? They drop leaves from September through December. Maples start dropping in early fall and keep going.

We also handle gutter cleaning for commercial properties around Hempstead. Office buildings, small shopping centers, apartment complexes – commercial gutters need professional attention because they’re larger systems with more complex drainage patterns.

Gutter Repair

Gutter repair usually starts with someone calling us about overflowing gutters. Nine times out of ten, it’s not just cleaning needed – there’s actual damage that needs fixing.

Common gutter repairs we handle include loose or broken brackets, separated joints, holes from rust or impact damage, and improper pitch that causes standing water. That standing water leads to mosquito breeding and ice problems in winter.

Seamless gutter repair is our specialty. When sections separate or develop leaks, we can often repair them without replacing entire runs. We carry aluminum stock and can fabricate patches or replacement sections on-site for most jobs.

Downspout repair is just as important as gutter repair. Loose downspouts bang against your house in wind, and separated joints dump water right against your foundation. We secure all brackets and seal all joints properly.

Historic homes in Hempstead sometimes have older steel gutters that need special repair techniques. Steel gutters can often be repaired and repainted instead of replaced, saving homeowners significant money while maintaining the home’s character.

We handle emergency gutter repair during storm season. When high winds damage gutters, waiting weeks for repair can lead to water damage inside your home. We prioritize emergency calls and usually can provide temporary fixes within 24 hours.

Gutter Installation

New gutter installation becomes necessary when repairs aren’t cost-effective anymore. We install seamless aluminum gutters, which are the best choice for Long Island weather and our salt air environment.

Seamless gutters eliminate most leak points because there are no joints except at corners and downspouts. We fabricate them on-site to exact measurements, ensuring perfect fit and proper drainage slope.

Choosing the right gutter size matters more than most people realize. Standard 5-inch gutters work for most Hempstead homes, but houses with steep roofs or large roof areas need 6-inch gutters to handle heavy rainfall volume.

We install both K-style and half-round gutters, depending on your home’s architecture and your preference. K-style gutters hold more water and look more modern. Half-round gutters suit historic homes better and are easier to clean.

Gutter guard installation happens during new gutter installation or as an add-on to existing gutters. Quality gutter guards reduce cleaning frequency but don’t eliminate it completely. We recommend guards for homes with heavy tree coverage or homeowners who can’t maintain regular cleaning schedules.

Color matching for new gutters involves bringing samples to your home in natural light. Gutter color affects your home’s appearance significantly, and colors look different in showrooms versus on your actual house.

Downspout Installation

Proper downspout installation requires calculating drainage needs based on roof area and typical Long Island rainfall patterns. Most homes need downspouts every 20-30 feet of gutter run, but this varies based on roof pitch and gutter size.

Downspout placement affects both function and appearance. We position downspouts to handle water flow effectively while minimizing visual impact on your home’s exterior. Sometimes this means adding extra downspouts or relocating existing ones.

Underground downspout installation connects your downspouts to drainage systems that carry water away from your foundation. This works great for homes with proper grading but isn’t suitable for all properties.

We install different downspout styles including traditional rectangular, round, and decorative options. Rectangular downspouts handle more water volume. Round downspouts match half-round gutters aesthetically.

Splash blocks and downspout extensions are part of complete downspout installation. These direct water at least 6 feet away from your foundation, preventing erosion and basement moisture problems.

Roof Cleaning

Roof cleaning service removes algae, moss, and debris that can damage shingles and reduce your roof’s lifespan. Black streaks on roofs aren’t just cosmetic – they’re algae that actually eats the limestone in asphalt shingles.

We use low-pressure washing techniques that clean effectively without damaging shingles. High-pressure washing can strip granules from shingles and actually shorten roof life, so proper technique matters enormously.

Moss removal requires special treatment because moss roots grow into shingle surfaces. Simply pressure washing moss off leaves root systems that regrow quickly. We treat moss with appropriate solutions before removal.

Gutter cleaning and roof cleaning work together because debris from roof cleaning needs to be cleared from gutters afterward. We coordinate these services to handle everything in one visit when possible.

Fall roof cleaning prepares your roof for winter weather. Removing leaves and debris before snow season prevents ice dam formation and reduces spring maintenance needs.

Why Hempstead Homeowners Choose R&M ROOFERS LLC

After eight years serving Nassau County, we’ve learned that reliable service matters more than rock-bottom prices. When your gutters are overflowing during a storm, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up when promised.

We’re fully insured for gutter work, including liability and workers compensation. This protects you from any accidents or property damage during service. Many handymen doing gutter work aren’t properly insured, leaving homeowners exposed to major liability.

Local weather knowledge makes a huge difference in gutter maintenance scheduling. We know which neighborhoods get hit hardest by nor’easters, where ice dams form most often, and when to schedule preventive cleaning for best results.

Our equipment includes proper commercial ladders, safety gear, and gutter-specific tools. We don’t show up with a borrowed ladder and a bucket like some competitors. Professional equipment means safer, more thorough service.

Free estimates include written recommendations for maintenance schedules based on your specific property conditions. Homes with different tree coverage, roof styles, and exposures need different maintenance approaches.

We service all of Nassau County including Hempstead, West Hempstead, Baldwin, Uniondale, East Meadow, Levittown, and surrounding areas. Most jobs can be scheduled within a week, and emergency services are available during storm season.
