"I am very pleased with my new windows. I used Home Genius Exteriors to do my roof, gutter protection, and now Windows. This is an absolute amazing company, my salesman brendan was very helpful, Devan the Project Manager helped make sure everything went smoothly. Walter and Mike also from production were very friendly and professional. And Shawn, the window installer was polite,knowlagable, and efficient. And even cleaned up on his way out. Next on the agenda is to get a new door taken care of. Highly recommend HGE"

"Gen Gutters did an excellent job, and I am very thankful I found them. I needed work done on my gutters, and other companies were trying to charge me way too much for what I needed. Gen Gutters gave me a fair and affordable price, treated me with respect, and did quality work. A lot of contractors try to beat homeowners out of their money and push them into financing, even for work that should not cost that much. Gen Gutters did not do that. Their prices are so affordable that you do not need to finance. That means a lot, especially when you are on a fixed income. They were professional, honest, and did not try to take advantage of me like some contractors do. They fixed the issue, explained things clearly, and gave me a great deal on the gutter work. I highly recommend Gen Gutters to anyone who needs gutter repair or a gutter system. They are fair, dependable, affordable, and they do excellent work. This is the kind of company homeowners need."

Gutter Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Pressure washing isn’t the only way to clean your gutters. Use a hose and a long-handled brush if you aren’t afraid of a little elbow grease. Alternatively, set up a stable ladder and scrub by hand with a brush. It’s also possible to purchase gutter wand extensions for hoses or a gutter vacuum if you don’t mind the investment. These help clean thoroughly without you having to scale a ladder.

If you want to avoid burying your downspouts, several alternatives can help direct water away from your home's foundation. One option is to connect a rain barrel to your downspout. During a storm, the barrel collects water that you can later use for irrigating your lawn or garden. Another common solution is to install an above-ground downspout extension. This can be done in a couple of ways:

  • Splash Guards: Placing a splash guard, available at most hardware stores, under your downspout can act as a simple funnel to direct water away from the house.

  • Downspout Extensions: You can add an extension to the end of the downspout's elbow to carry water further into your yard. Some extensions are flexible, allowing you to maneuver them around landscaping.

These above-ground solutions are particularly useful if your home has a slab foundation that you cannot dig up. However, they have limitations. An extension may not move water as far from your home as an underground system. More importantly, if your yard slopes back toward your house, these methods will be ineffective, and burying your downspouts remains the best option to prevent potential flooding and water damage.

At least twice a year, or more if surrounded by trees.

Frequently, when water flows over gutters, it indicates a potential clog, necessitating cleaning. For instance, if a twig becomes lodged in the downspout, it can lead to a traffic jam, causing more leaves and sticks to accumulate. Another potential issue is an incorrect pitch, as gutters should channel water toward the downspout. If you observe water overflowing the end cap or leaking through it, it suggests that your gutters are improperly tilted.

Yes, gutter cleaning methods without using a ladder are available, including:

  • A curved wand attachment for your hose 

  • Gutter tongs on an extension pole

  • A leaf blower gutter cleaning kit

  • Vacuum designed for cleaning gutters

Just be sure that your downspouts are connected and can direct water away from the house if you’re using a water-powered method. This will keep the water from dumping next to the house.
