Gutter cleaning in Medina, OH
The owner inspects every Medina job himself, you get a photo report the same day, and one written price that holds for a year.
Gutter cleaning in Medina, OH is a two-story job on most streets: colonials from the 1970s through the 1990s under maturing street trees, plus steep Victorian roofs around Medina Square. Guttrz drives up from North Canton, about 38 miles and 45 minutes, and every visit includes a hand clearing of every run, every downspout flushed until it runs clear, debris hauled away, and before and after photos the same day. The owner inspects the roof edge while he is up there. Send your Medina address and a photo for one written price within the hour, good for a year.
Gutter cleaning in Medina, OH is mostly two-story work under trees that are finally tall enough to matter. More than half of the city's homes went up between 1970 and 1999, and the street trees planted with them now reach above the roofline. Guttrz is not a Medina company, and we will not pretend to be. We are based in North Canton, about 38 miles and 45 minutes away, and we make the drive because Medina has plenty of roofers and pressure washers who clean gutters on the side, and not many companies that do gutters all day. The owner inspects every Medina job himself, a photo report goes out the same day, and you get one written price good for a year. The main gutter cleaning page covers the service; this one covers Medina.
What does a gutter cleaning in Medina include?
The same checklist on every house, whether it is a colonial in Montville Farms or a brick Victorian on South Court Street:
- Every gutter run cleared by hand and scoop.
- Every downspout flushed from the top with a hose until water runs out the bottom fast and clear.
- Outlets and the elbow at the top of each downspout dug out, since that is where most overflows start.
- Leaves, seeds and roof grit bagged and taken with us.
- Loose hangers, open seams, and gutters pulling off the fascia photographed and flagged, with no pressure to fix them that day.
- Before and after photos of each run texted to you the same day.
Every Medina cleaning visit also checks the pipe boots, the flashing at walls and chimneys, and any skylights while we are on the roof, because a cracked boot is a common cause of a ceiling stain and it is easiest to catch from up there; the roof leak repair page explains what happens if one turns up.
Why do gutters in Medina fill so fast now?
Because the city planted for it. Medina received its first Tree City USA award in 1981 and has held the title for more than forty years. The Forestry Department looks after roughly 13,500 street trees, guided by a nine-member Shade Tree Commission. Trees planted in a 1990s subdivision are now thirty years old and sit right over the front gutter.
Colonials in Montville Farms, Fox Meadow and the east side
Montville Farms was platted starting in 1990, Fox Meadow grew around the country club in the late 1990s, and Lexington Ridge filled in during the early 2000s. These are two-story homes with a gutter line around 20 feet up, a garage wing with its own short run, and a front gable that dumps a whole roof section into one inside corner. A colonial of that size usually has six to eight downspouts, and a packed elbow on any one of them backs up the whole run behind it.
Ranches and split-levels in the first ring around the Square
Medina jumped from 8,235 people in 1960 to 15,307 in 1980, and that ring of ranches and split-levels now carries the biggest yard trees in town. The gutter is only nine or ten feet up, so the ladder work is quick, but a 60-year-old silver maple drops helicopters in May and leaves in October, and both end up in the same short run. They are quick to clean and usually due twice a year.
Victorian houses near Medina Square
A fire on April 14, 1870 took 45 buildings around the square, and the town rebuilt in brick in the Victorian style that now makes up the nine-block Medina Public Square Historic District, on the National Register since 1975. The houses on the streets around it are from the same decades, with roofs too steep to walk, cross gables, and the odd half-round gutter on brackets. We clean these from a ladder with a standoff and never rest the ladder on the gutter itself. If the house has a built-in gutter in the cornice, you get a straight answer about whether it is a cleaning or a repair.
When should you clean gutters in Medina?
After the leaves are down, and the city's own calendar tells you when that is. Medina's curbside leaf program starts the week of October 26, with the city split along Smith Road and each truck making several east-to-west passes. Leaves go on the tree lawn, never in the street, where the city can fine you under its ordinance. The program line is (330) 725-LEAF.
For gutters, that means late November into early December for most Medina homes, once the maples on your street are bare. If a big maple stands over the roof, add a spring visit after the seeds drop in late May. And if a gutter is sheeting over the front edge right now, do not wait for a date; a plugged outlet is cleared whenever it is dry enough to set a ladder. Our guide to how often to clean gutters in Ohio covers the trade-offs.
What sets the price of gutter cleaning in Medina, OH?
Four things: stories, linear feet of gutter, how packed the runs are, and whether guards are already on. The drive from North Canton is not a line on it. Send the address and a photo and one written price comes back within the hour, good for a year. The gutter cleaning cost page walks through each of the four.
| Medina home | What moves the price | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch or split-level near the Square | Low gutter, one or two big yard trees | Quickest visit, often a spring and a fall cleaning |
| Colonial in Montville Farms or Lexington Ridge | 20-foot gutter line, six to eight downspouts | More ladder moves, more flushing, one visit a year on many lots |
| Colonial on a wooded Fox Meadow or Foote Road lot | Packed oak leaves, acorns, a wet north side | Slowest clearing, usually twice a year |
| Victorian near the Square | Steep roof, brackets or built-in gutters | Priced once the roof edge has been seen |

How far is Medina from Guttrz, and does the drive change anything?
The office is at 1196 Doncaster St NW in North Canton. Medina is about 38 miles and 45 minutes from there, up I-77 and across I-76 and I-71 to Route 18. It is the farthest west of the towns we serve, so Medina visits are grouped onto one day and a flexible date gets you in sooner. The owner still inspects the job himself.
How do you get a gutter cleaning price for a Medina address?

If you are paying for a cleaning every fall under those street maples, you can stop. Guttrz installs the Leaf Solution stainless micro-mesh guard on existing 5 and 6 inch gutters, priced per linear foot with a written price after a free measurement, and the material carries a Lifetime No-Clog Warranty. Guards mean you never pay for a cleaning again; an occasional hose rinse is all the maintenance. See the Medina gutter guard page.
Every Medina gutter cleaning also comes with a free roof inspection. Guttrz is already at the roof edge, so the owner photographs the shingles, valleys, flashing and pipe boots and sends a written report rated Good, Watch or Replace Soon. On a 1990s colonial with its original roof, that tells you whether to budget for a new one now or later.
Questions
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Medina, OH?
Four things set it: stories, linear feet of gutter, how packed the runs are, and whether guards are on. A two-story colonial in Montville Farms with six to eight downspouts takes more ladder time than a ranch near the Square, so it costs more. In Northeast Ohio a gutter cleaning commonly runs about $100 to $250 for a single-story and $150 to $350 for a two-story, a market range, not a Guttrz price. Send your Medina address and a photo of the house for one written price within the hour, good for a year.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Medina?
Once a year in late fall for a colonial on an open subdivision lot, and twice a year, late spring and late fall, for any house under a mature maple or oak. The trees on the older streets have had fifty or sixty years to grow, so those houses are in the twice-a-year group. The fall cleaning should wait until the trees are bare, which in Medina is usually the last week of November or the first week of December.
Do you clean gutters in Medina that already have guards on?
Yes. Mesh and perforated guards are usually cleared and rinsed in place, then the downspouts are flushed the same as on an open gutter. Foam inserts and some snap-in screens have to come out to reach the debris underneath, and we tell you that before starting. Name the guard brand or type with your address so the price reflects the extra step.
Do you also serve Medina Township?
Yes. Medina Township wraps around the north and east sides of the city, between Brunswick Hills and Granger townships, and had about 9,200 residents at the 2020 census. Lots there are often larger and more wooded than in the city subdivisions, so the back gutters tend to carry more. Send the address and a photo and the price comes back the same way.
Is Guttrz a Medina gutter company?
No. Guttrz is based in North Canton, about 45 minutes away, and we say so plainly. The owner inspects the job himself and the photo report goes out the same day. Medina visits are grouped onto the same day, so the drive is not on your price, and a flexible date gets you scheduled faster.
Can you clean the gutters on a Victorian house near Medina Square?
Yes. Those roofs are too steep to walk, so we work from a ladder with a standoff that never rests on the gutter. Half-round gutters on brackets clean like any other. A built-in gutter in the cornice is looked at first, and you get an honest answer about whether it needs a cleaning or a repair before any price is given.
