About Gutters

Cleaning of the roofs, rain gutters and downspouts is a critical part of prudent, annual maintenance. Our programs allow the entire gutter system to function and achieve its maximum life expectancy. Our teams make sure all loose debris is removed from both flat and sloped roof areas, all rain gutters are cleaned by hand and rinsed clean with water, and each downspout is flushed thoroughly and checked from ground level to assure proper flow. The gutters, siding and grounds are left clean and spotless, the debris hauled from the site.

The most important time is in late fall after all or most of the leaves have come down as leaves and twigs cause most clogs in gutters. The other important time to clean your gutters is the spring or early summer as pollen, flower petals and seeds such as maple “helicopters" can build up. Also, most deciduous trees drop debris in the spring, so even those of you living in conifer forests aren't off the hook. Those who live in heavily wooded areas may find it necessary to clear the gutters three or four times a year

Because the actual system is well above our heads, we often don't think about gutters as having a problem until something bad happens. Plan to clean the gutters when the weather has been dry, as wet leaves can be heavy and messy. Here's what you'll need: a ladder, a trough, a bucket with a metal hook, a garden hose with a nozzle (or an attachment specifically for gutter-cleaning), and work gloves. Gutter cleaning is an often overlooked but very important part of your regular home maintenance and should be performed on an annual or semi-annual basis.

Cleaning the gutter is a very important home protection task that effectively maintains and keeps the home from possible harm and damages. Contrary to what some people believe, gutter cleaning is not a messy or very difficult job to perform. Using the right tools, the job can be done safely, efficiently and easily.
