Gutter Repair & Cleaning
Gutter Repair & Cleaning
Consistent maintenance of gutters can help you save money in the long run. Loose nails and improperly installed gutters can damage the fascia and shorten the life of the gutter – as you can see in these photos.
We recommend at least one gutter cleaning per year. About half of our customers schedule a cleaning both in the Spring and Fall. Don’t wait until the last minute to call; a clogged gutter causes overflow which can affect nearby areas including your roof, walls, and even the foundation.
Leaf guards: Yes or No?
We vote “no.” In our opinion they are not worth it for a few reasons: leaves do pile on top which looks messy, debris and pine needles get through and still must be cleaned out regularly, ice & snow buildup can damage them, and they can reduce the flow of water into gutters in extreme downpours.
But they do block the buildup of leaves, and so are helpful in some cases. Just remember, whether you have leaf guards or not, it is still important to clean and maintain your gutters.
Roof & Siding Cleaning
Another important factor in protecting your home and extending the life of your roof and siding is keeping it clean of moss and mildew. We can do this for you with a product which we highly recommend called “Wet & Forget.” This does not require scrubbing or power washing as rain will wash away the treated areas.
