How often should i have my gutters cleaned?
+5
Some say once a year and some say twice. I am currently doing it twice a year to be safe but not sure if I am wasting my money or not. Thank you.

We check ours 4 times a year. And usually clean then twice. It all depends on how much stuff gets in them.
Depends where you live. Twice a year is not unreasonable. I do mine in fall before the rain, and again in spring to get any leaves and debris that may have become trapped in them. My opinion, you are not wasting your money, and maintaining your gutters well as they will last longer.
Twice a year is what's recommended. If you could diy a cleaning tool it could save you some serious cash. I've attached a link with instructions on how to make one

Have you looked into gutter guards or a similar product?

That is about right. You can do once a year, but it is better to pay $200 a year than have them get majorly clogged.
