Rochester is the base: 211,328 residents and a lake-effect snow belt every town shares
Every town below touches Rochester. That counted 211,328 residents in 2020 and is the seat of Monroe County. Lake Ontario drives the weather. The 30-year average snowfall is just above 100 inches, listed as 102 inches. Temperatures drop to 0 F or colder on about 4.2 nights a year.
That is the pattern gutter cleaning Monroe County NY homes live with: leaves in fall, ice in winter. Snow does not fall evenly across the county, as the December 2025 report below shows. The Rochester gutter cleaning page covers the city itself.
Gutter cleaning Greece NY: the largest town in Monroe County, with Lake Ontario to the north
Greece had 96,926 residents in 2020, the most of any town in Monroe County. It is the county's second-largest municipality after Rochester. Rochester borders it on the east. The Lake Ontario State Parkway runs through the northern part of town about a mile inland. Wetlands and ponds, including Braddock Bay, cover the north. ZIP codes include 14612, 14615, 14616 and 14626.
Elevation climbs from about 243 feet at the lakeshore to 558 feet near Interstate 390. Name your part of town, such as North Greece, West Greece or Greece Center, when you call. Charlotte, the port area, was annexed by Rochester in 1916. So it is a city address rather than a Greece one.
Gutter cleaning Irondequoit NY: a headland between Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay
Irondequoit had 51,043 residents in 2020 and lies just north and east of Rochester. Water bounds it on three sides, which makes it a headland. ZIP codes are 14609, 14617 and 14622.
After World War II, returning veterans sought housing here. The population rose from 23,376 in 1940 to 55,337 in 1960, an increase of 136 percent. Postwar houses are common, and a house from 1960 is now more than 60 years old. Mention your home's age when you call so older gutters and roof edges get a look.
Landmarks include Irondequoit Town Hall, a colonial-style building finished in 1951. Durand Beach is another, and its park is part of the City of Rochester.
Gutter cleaning Henrietta NY: south of the city, from RIT to Marketplace Mall
Henrietta grew from 42,581 residents in 2010 to 47,096 in 2020. Downtown Rochester is about 7 miles north of the center of town. ZIP codes include 14467 and 14586.
Rochester Institute of Technology moved to a campus by the Genesee River in 1968. Marketplace Mall opened beside Interstate 390 in the 1980s. A short section of the Erie Canal passes through the northeastern side. The town also hosts the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Older buildings such as West Henrietta Baptist Church, built in 1838, show it is older than its malls. Say whether your building is a house or a multi-unit property when you call.
Gutter cleaning Brighton NY: Twelve Corners and the Erie Canal on Rochester's southeast edge
Brighton had 37,137 residents in 2020 and borders Rochester on the southeast. Twelve Corners, where Winton Road, Monroe Avenue and Elmwood Avenue meet, is its commercial center. The Erie Canal runs through town. Monroe Community College's main campus is here. The Brighton Memorial Library stands at 2300 Elmwood Avenue. ZIP codes include 14610, 14618, 14620, 14623 and 14625.
The town was formally established in 1814 and stayed a farming and brick-making community until the 20th century. The Stone-Tolan House is on the National Register of Historic Places. Give the street name when you call, since several ZIP codes cross town lines.
Gates, west of the city, home to the Wegmans headquarters and Rochester Tech Park
Gates had 29,167 residents in 2020, and Rochester borders it on the east. ZIP codes include 14624 and 14606. The Gates Chili and Spencerport school districts serve the town. Wegmans has its headquarters here. Rochester Tech Park occupies a former Kodak manufacturing site.
The town was organized in 1797 and incorporated in 1813. It later lost parts of its land to Rochester and Greece. Communities include Elmgrove, Gates Center, North Gates and Tressmar. The geographic center of Monroe County lies within it, near Gates Town Hall. Call, give your street and ZIP code. The person who answers confirms the visit.

What WHEC's December 2025 lake-effect report shows about snow by address
Scene. On December 4, 2025, WHEC tracked lake-effect snow across the Rochester area. Reporters were in downtown Rochester, Greece, Henrietta and Brighton.
Problem. Totals were not the same everywhere. WHEC tracked up to two inches west and south of Rochester. It saw up to four inches east of the city. Lake towns such as Sodus and Wolcott got up to eight inches.
Tension. The report gave no snow figure for Greece, Henrietta or Brighton. It did not mention Irondequoit or Gates. Sodus and Wolcott are outside this service area. We use it only for the pattern: snow load shifts with location.
What We Did. We did not work in those towns that morning. A careful crew asks for your address first. This happens because the snow on your roof depends on where you are.
Outcome. The visit is planned around your street, not a town average.
Lesson. When you call, name your street and ZIP code.
