Does the handyman go up on the roof?

No. Gutters are cleared by hand from a ladder. Roofing is a job for a licensed trade, and the handyman will tell you if what he sees points that way.

Should I get my gutters done before hurricane season?

Clearing gutters and drainage is a typical part of Florida storm preparation, and the Atlantic season starts June 1. Doing it ahead of time means water has a clear path when the heavy rain arrives.

What if the gutter is pulling away from the wall?

Loose hangers can often be re-fixed, but only if the fascia behind them is sound. The handyman will check the board and explain what he finds before you approve anything.

Gutter Cleaning with one call to a handyman in Miami Beach, FL

Miami Beach is a low-lying barrier island with salt air and a long, wet summer, and that is hard on gutters. If yours are full of leaves and overflow when it rains, there is almost certainly a blockage of packed debris, a downspout that is clogged, or both. Water that can't drain spills over the edge and runs down the wall.

A handyman on a ladder in gloves clearing leaves from the gutter of a single-storey house.

It happens here for plain reasons. Florida's heavy summer downpours and tropical systems keep gutters, downspouts and drainage on the repair list all year. In the South, palm debris and seed pods add to the load. Humidity also feeds mildew and algae on the surfaces around them, and salt air corrodes fasteners. Gutters get loaded, damp and worn at the same time.

Before the handyman arrives

Don't climb onto the roof. Roof work is not handyman work, and a wet roof is a bad place to be; gutters are cleared from a ladder.
Don't set a ladder near overhead power lines. Metal and wire is a dangerous mix, so if lines run near the gutter, leave the job alone and say so when you call.
Don't re-fix a gutter to soft or rotten fascia. Hangers can't hold in damaged wood, so ask the handyman to look at the board before anything is screwed back on.
Don't wait for a storm warning. Clearing gutters and drainage is part of normal hurricane preparation in Florida, so it is easier to plan it before the season builds.

What the handyman does

Look at the job firstThe handyman looks at your gutters and downspouts and gives you the price. You approve it before any work starts, and the estimate is free.
Gutters cleared by handDebris is scooped out by hand from a ladder and bagged, so it doesn't end up on your walkway or in the drains.
Downspouts flushedWater is run through each downspout to show it flows freely, and to find any blockage lower down.
Loose hangers re-fixed, joints resealedHangers that have pulled loose are fixed back in place where the fascia is sound. Leaking joints are resealed.
Downspout extensions addedExtensions carry water away from the walls, so it stops soaking the base of the building.

In Miami Beach, FL

Many Miami Beach buildings are 1920s to 1960s Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival and MiMo, built of concrete block and stucco and renovated several times over. Condos and multifamily buildings far outnumber single-family homes. If you live in one, check with your association or building management before you book. Condo and HOA rules, and historic-district rules, often govern what can be changed and how it must look.

Masonry walls also need masonry anchors, not ordinary drywall or stud fasteners, so ask the handyman to walk you through how any loose hanger will be fixed. Demand tends to build in late spring as people prepare for hurricane season, which runs June 1 through November 30. It rises again in winter, when seasonal residents come back and open up their units. Booking ahead of those peaks gives you room to plan.
