The Markham tree factor: Mature maple trees in Unionville and older Markham neighbourhoods drop 200,000+ seeds (maple keys) per tree each spring. One mature maple over your roofline can fill 50 linear feet of gutter in 2 weeks. If you have mature trees within 20 feet of your roof, budget for 2-3 cleanings per year, not 1-2.

How to Choose

  1. Ask what's included. Downspout flushing, gutter face cleaning, and bracket inspection should be standard β€” not extras.
  2. Request before/after photos. If they won't photograph the work, how do you know they cleaned inside the gutters?
  3. Check insurance. $2M liability minimum. Gutter cleaning involves ladders on your roof β€” real risk.
  4. Get quotes by linear foot. "From $149" means nothing without knowing your gutter length. 150-250 linear feet is typical for Markham homes.
  5. Ask about downspouts. Underground downspouts (common in Markham new builds) need water testing to check for clogs. Not all companies do this.
