Get matched with top gutter cleaning pros in Chinle, AZ

It can be worth painting gutters if they look worn and old but are still functioning properly. Gutters should define and complement your roofline, not detract from the look of your home. Rust can be treated and potentially removed before repainting, but severely rusted gutters may need to be replaced instead. If your gutters simply aren't functioning, try cleaning them out.

Just how long your faux copper gutters last depends on several factors. The material of choice can really impact the cost, with steel lasting the longest, followed by aluminum, and lastly, vinyl. Overall, your gutters will last between 10 and 30 years. 

Your climate and level of maintenance also affect the lifespan of your gutter system. Harsher climates can shorten the lifespan of faux copper vinyl gutters, while salty climates can shorten the lifespan of faux copper metal gutters. Meanwhile, homeowners who stay on top of repairs and cleanings can give their gutters the longest chance of staying in shape.

While you can clean your gutters without geting on a ladder, you won't know just how well you're cleaning them without the use of a telescopic water pole. Some ways to clean gutters from the ground include using telescopic cleaning tools and a leaf blower extension, wet/dry vacuum extension, pressure washer, or garden hose with a curved end.

While gutter guards offer significant advantages, they also have some drawbacks—namely, they don't completely eliminate the need for cleaning, and certain objects (like mold or large debris) can still damage your roof. If they're installed improperly, they can void the roof warranty, and heavy guards could even damage your roof fascia or roof material itself. This is why it's vitally important to have a pro install your gutter guards.
