Hand-cleared, flush-tested, photo-documented — built for Fort Myers oaks, tile roofs, and fifty-inch rainy seasons.
Fort Myers packs roughly 55 inches of rain into five months — and gutters are the only thing standing between that water and your fascia, walls, and foundation. The trouble is what happens in the seven months before: the McGregor corridor's live oaks shed year-round, pines drop needles that mat into felt, and one palm frond can dam an entire run. By the first June downpour, "we cleaned them last year" is already overflowing.
Our gutter service is built around a simple standard: gutters that actually drain, proven. Debris comes out by hand into bags — not blown across your lawn — and then every run and downspout gets a water flush until it moves at full speed. The flush matters because the most common Fort Myers callback is a gutter that looks clean and still overflows: the clog is in the downspout elbow or the drain line, where eyes cannot reach but water finds instantly.
On the tile roofs across Gateway, Colonial Country Club, and Pelican Preserve we use tile-safe access and clear the roof valleys while we are up there — debris in a valley routes water right past the gutter entirely. And every job ends with before/after photos of every run, emailed the same day, so you see exactly what came out without climbing anything.
The Lee County rhythm: twice a year — before the rains and after storm season — with quarterly service under heavy canopy. If your gutters are sheeting water mid-storm right now, here is what that overflow is quietly doing to the house — and the fix is a phone call.

Gutter cleaning advice usually says "twice a year." In Fort Myers that is only right if you know which trees are over your roof — the schedule that works on a bare Gateway lot is wrong for a house under the McGregor oaks. This is what drops, and when:
| Tree | Where it dominates | Heaviest drop | What it does in a gutter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal palm | McGregor Blvd, River District, older Fort Myers streets | Year-round, spikes after storms | Whole fronds and seed clusters — blocks a downspout in one drop |
| Live oak | Whiskey Creek, Iona, established neighborhoods | Feb–April (leaf drop) + spring catkins | Small leaves compact into a dense mat that holds water |
| Slash pine | San Carlos Park, Estero fringe, wooded lots | Late spring and fall | Needles weave into a mesh that blocks guards as well as gutters |
| Queen palm | Suburban Fort Myers, 1990s–2000s subdivisions | Summer fruiting | Thousands of small seeds — the classic downspout plug |
| Mature landscaping, mixed | Gateway, Colonial Country Club, Pelican Preserve | Moderate, year-round | Gradual sediment buildup rather than sudden blockage |
How It Works
Every gutter run and downspout gets checked, not just the stretch visible from the driveway. On the McGregor corridor the culprit is usually oak leaves packed behind the fascia line; in newer Gateway and Daniels communities it is roofing grit and the one palm frond damming the whole run.
Debris comes out by hand and into bags — not blown onto your lawn or into the pool cage. Oak leaves, pine needles, palm fibers, shingle grit: bagged and gone when we leave.
Every run and downspout is flushed until water moves at full speed. A gutter that looks clean but drains slow still overflows in a Fort Myers July downpour — the flush is the test that counts.

Common Questions
Four factors set the price and we walk you through all of them before quoting — but the one that moves it most in Fort Myers is tree cover: homes under the live oaks along McGregor Boulevard or the pines in Whiskey Creek pack far more debris than an open lot in Gateway, and compacted gutters take longer to hand-clear. It depends on the home's size, stories, total gutter length, and how packed the runs are — a single-story with light debris is a different job from a two-story under the McGregor oaks. Quotes are free and exact, often from a few photos and the address.
Twice a year at minimum: before the rains arrive (May-June) and after storm season (November-December). Under heavy oak or pine canopy — McGregor, Whiskey Creek, older Iona streets — quarterly is the realistic schedule, because those trees shed all year.
In this climate, a packed gutter during a single Fort Myers summer can rot the fascia board behind it, overflow along the foundation, and push water under the roof edge in a hard storm. Fascia repair costs many times more than a year of cleanings — skipping is the expensive option.
Yes — tile is everywhere in Fort Myers and we work on it daily, with the right access techniques so no tiles get cracked in the process. We also clear the roof valleys while we are up there, since debris there routes water right past the gutters.
That is the classic hidden clog — the blockage sits in the downspout elbow or the underground drain line, not the visible run. Our water flush finds it, and clearing the downspout is part of the standard job, not an extra.
Honestly, in SWFL most guard systems trade one problem for another: fine debris still gets in and palm fibers mat on top of the mesh. A reliable twice-yearly cleaning usually protects the home better. If you already have guards, we clean those runs too.
