Why Homeowners Choose Larry’s

Trusted Since 1969

When you hire Larry’s you’re trusting us with your home, and we don’t take that lightly. Central Iowa homeowners have trusted us with their homes for over five decades. Many stay with us for years because we show up when scheduled, do the work to a high standard, and stand behind it.

We carry $1 million in general liability coverage and a $5 million umbrella policy on top of that. Our crews are also covered by workers’ compensation, which matters more than most homeowners realize. If an uninsured crew is injured on your property, you can be held liable. With Larry’s that risk is fully covered.

Our crews are trained to treat your property with care, and we don’t consider a job done until you’re happy with the results. We take pride in our work. Every gutter we clean is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.

Our Gutter Cleaning Process

Every gutter cleaning includes an inspection, clearing all structural debris from your gutter channels, and checking downspout openings. We bag and remove all debris from your property before we leave. Need a full downspout water flush? Just let us know when booking and we’ll handle it upon request.

Prevent Water Damage

Clogged gutters force water to overflow and pool where it shouldn’t. This includes your foundation, behind your fascia, and into your landscaping. Over time that water can find its way inside. An annual cleaning is the least expensive way to avoid a larger repair bill.

Protect Against Iowa’s Freeze-Thaw Cycle

When clogged gutters trap water heading into winter, that water freezes and backs up under your shingles. This is a problem known as ice damming. Ice dams can cause significant roof damage and interior leaks. Keeping gutters clear before the cold sets in is one of the most important things Iowa homeowners can do to protect their roofs each year.

Extend the Life of Your Gutters

Debris buildup adds weight and holds moisture against the metal. Over time that causes sagging, corrosion, and separation from the fascia. Regular cleaning removes that burden and keeps your gutters functioning the way they should for years longer.

Gutter Inspection

While we clean, our crew inspects for damage, sagging, or separation. If we spot something that needs attention, we’ll let you know before it becomes a bigger problem.

Gutter Cleaning FAQ

No. We only clean gutters.

No. Gutter cleaning is entirely exterior work. We’ll complete the job and email your invoice when we’re done.

For gutter cleaning, we can work through light rain. If heavier rain or high winds require rescheduling, we’ll reach out ahead of time.

Pricing is based on your home’s size, linear footage of your gutters, and how dirty they are. Request a quote and we’ll get you an exact number after our visit.

Most Iowa homes benefit from one to two gutter cleanings per year. Many homes in the Des Moines area have significant tree coverage and need cleaned more frequently than that. Homes with mature trees close to the roofline may need three or four cleanings a year depending on the species and how aggressively they shed. If you’re unsure we recommend starting on the lower end and increasing the frequency as needed.

For a professional crew, most average-sized Iowa homes take 30 minutes to an hour for a routine cleaning. Larger homes, heavily clogged gutters, or homes with multiple stories will take longer. Gutters that haven’t been cleaned in several years can take significantly more time. We can give you a better estimate when you request a quote.

We take care where ladders contact your siding and fascia. Debris is bagged and removed from your property before we leave. During the downspout flush, water exits at the base of the spout, if you have landscaping or AC equipment near your downspout outlets, let us know when scheduling.

No. While guards greatly reduce maintenance frequency, they do not completely eliminate the need for cleaning. Debris can still pile up on top of the guards, small particles like pine needles or shingle grit can work their way inside, and certain guard styles can even worsen ice damming along your roof edge. We still recommend a periodic inspection and rinse to keep everything flowing perfectly, and we are happy to safely clear any top-side buildup or fine debris during our regular service visits.

Customer Testimonials

  • Was highly skeptical that this would make the house look different. Well… I was wrong. It looks so much better. They did a phenomenal job and the older windows have new life. We got the complete cleaning where they took the window apart. Would recommend this one.

  • We use Larrys Windows twice a year. Every time they come out, their personnel are polite, hard working, and our windows look awesome! After they visit our home, the view through all windows is renewed, and our home is that much more enjoyable. Thank you.
