Q: Should you clean the gutters after a storm?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s recommended that you clean your gutters after a severe storm, however, regular storms don&rsquo;t raise the same concerns. Look for signs your gutter might need cleaning after a harsh storm. Do you see broken branches and excessive leaves all over your yard? Chances are your gutters caught quite some debris. Also, ensure a few drying days before cleaning your gutters. Dry debris is much easier to clean. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t have gutters?

• <div><p>While gutters really only offer pros without any cons, some people dislike the appearance of gutters. Upgrading to an architectural option can help you to reduce the eyesore caused by mainstream gutters. In addition, some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choose-right-gutters-your-home.htm">types of gutters</a> are prone to expanding, contracting, or sagging if they aren't properly maintained. If enough weight builds up within a gutter system, your gutters can begin to pull away from your home. </p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to rain chains?

• <div><p>Yes, there are several downsides to installing rain chains. For one, rain chains have a lower flow capacity than a typical gutter and downspout system. This means that if there is a rainstorm, the rain chain can stop working completely. Rain chains also cannot redirect rainwater away from your house. In homes with a sloped yard, this could cause water damage in your foundation or basement. </p></div>

Q: Are there different types of gutter hangers?

• <div><p>There are five main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-gutter-hangers.htm">types of gutter hangers</a>, and all offer different benefits. Spikes and ferrules aren&rsquo;t as durable as brackets and straps and wrap-around hangers, but they aren&rsquo;t as expensive and will get the job done. Worried more about curb appeal than gutter strength? T-bar or T-strap and hidden hangers will keep these important gutter elements out of sight. </p></div>

Q: How much does gutter removal cost?

• <div><p>Removing old gutters costs <b>$1 to $2 per linear foot </b>when you hire a professional gutter company to do the work. You may also have to pay between <b>$150 and $350</b> to dispose of the debris. If you have aluminum or steel gutters, you can recoup some of the removal cost by selling the material to a recycler or a scrap metal collector. </p></div>

Told them to do their best and boy did they! Roof looks brand new! I'm a widow so I appreciated their thoughtfulness and kindness!

He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up.
