Our work: gutter cleaning before and after photos

Real photos from real Guttrz jobs in Stark County. No stock images.

These are before and after photos from Guttrz gutter cleaning jobs in Canton, Massillon, and North Canton in September and October 2026. On many of them the cause of overflowing gutters was a downspout elbow packed solid, not the gutter itself. A Guttrz cleaning costs $150 to $300 and includes a hand cleanout, every downspout flushed, and photos like these the same day.

What we keep finding: the downspout, not the gutter

On these jobs the gutter was often not the real problem. The elbow at the top of the downspout was packed solid, so the run above it filled like a bathtub and spilled over the front edge, even in a light rain. Scooping the gutter does not fix that. The elbow has to be cleared and the downspout flushed until water runs fast out the bottom. That is part of every Guttrz gutter cleaning, and it is explained in why gutters overflow.

What a hand cleanout looks like

We clean by hand and scoop, bag the debris, and take it with us. We do not blow it off the roof into your beds.
