Autumn is a beautiful time of year in the U.S., especially in regions where the leaves change into gorgeous oranges, yellows and reds before falling off the trees. While you’re enjoying the fall foliage don’t forget that it’s also an important time to give your home a little TLC before the harsh winter months take hold. Schedule a gutter cleaning to remove all the dead leaves and debris now, as the snow and ice will take a toll on your home’s roof and gutters even without the extra weight of the fall remnants.
Typically, clogged gutters will cause water to overflow and collect around the foundation of a home. Then, during colder months, the excess water freezes and expands, causing frost heave, or cracks in the foundation wall.
Consider pressure washing and power washing your home now – remember that any preemptive efforts you make to spruce up the outside of your home will pay off come spring when your gutters and exterior are neat and clean while your neighbors are outside dealing with the damage and disrepair due to not scheduling regular maintenance.
Many pressure washing companies will clean gutters for a nominal fee, keeping homeowners from getting on ladders and putting themselves at risk. These same pressure washing companies will also usually clean the streaks and marks off the outside of the gutters, making the home more aesthetically pleasing.
Cost saving measures
The little bit you pay now to have your gutters pressure washed can mean a savings of anywhere from $1000 - $5000 depending on the size of your home and type of gutter system you have. Don’t wait to replace it, take care of it with a licensed, reputable, insured gutter cleaner contractor.
Experts say if you maintain and clean your gutters twice a year, they can last 20 to 30 years.
Make an educated choice
When selecting a gutter contractor, check with online customer review sites and check the contractor's licensing with the state labor and industries website to make sure it's current. Remember that gutter cleaning companies come and go. So be sure to hire a contractor who is experienced, licensed and bonded. As a general rule, if they have five or more years of experience, they'll do a better job.
Remember that cleaning your gutters inside and out at least twice a year can keep your home safe, save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in repairs and ultimately keep your home looking pristine and well-kept.
