Questions & Answers
Question: Why do I even have to clean my gutters?
Answer: Your gutters are responsible for taking rain water from your roof to your downspouts and away from your foundation preventing potential basement leaks and water damage to your home which can cause thousands of dollars in damage.
Question: How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
Answer: This depends on how many trees you have around your home. If you have no trees you can get away with once per year. if you are surrounded by trees you should clean your gutters in the spring and the fall. If you have pine trees you may have to clean your gutters up to four times per year.
Question: Can't I just clean my own gutters?
Answer: You certainly can, but ask yourself is it really worth the risk? More than 28,000 people across the country are injured or killed by falling off ladders each year. If you were to ask any of those people if it was worth getting injured to save a few hundred dollars by not hiring a professional gutter cleaning company like us, I wonder what they would say?
Question: What is the average cost to have my gutters cleaned?
Answer: The average cost across the country is between $125.00 to $450.00 for one and two story homes depending on how many linear feet of gutter you have and the pitch of your roof. If the pitch is severe and we can't work from the roof it's going to cost more money because we have to go up and down a ladder several times which takes more time and increases the risk for potential injury.
