Q: Can gutter guards get clogged?

• <div><p>While gutter guards offer protection for your gutter system, they aren't completely safe from clogs. Over time, small pieces of debris can get through gutter screens. This can eventually cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-ways-clogged-gutters-can-damage-home.htm">clogged gutters</a>, gutter leaks, mold formation, and other problems that can compromise your roof, foundation, and other parts of your home. In fact, it's common to see plants growing from gutter screens when gutter guard cleaning has been neglected. Knowing how to clean gutter guards is important to protect your gutter system from damage or malfunction.</p></div>

Q: How long do aluminum gutters last?

• <div><p>New aluminum gutters can last up to 30 years when cared for properly. Aluminum is likely to last longer in low-humidity areas that do not expose the metal to salty air. However, aluminum is a good choice for cold, wet, and snowy climates.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean gutters that you cannot reach?

• <div><p>If your gutters are out of reach, a leaf blower with a gutter cleaning attachment can help blow out leaves and dirt. You can also consider using a telescoping gutter cleaning tool, which extends your reach while allowing you to clean from the ground. These tools often have adjustable attachments, such as brushes or hoses, to clear debris effectively. If these options aren&rsquo;t practical, hiring a professional is a safe and efficient way to clean your gutters without risking injury. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if I have a sagging gutter?

• <div><p>Sagging gutters stress your downspout, so have your gutters fixed before you secure your downspout.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of gutters?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-will-good-gutters-last.htm">Gutter life expectancy</a> depends on the material used. Aluminum gutters last up to 25 years, while galvanized steel lasts between 15 to 20 years. Copper gutters are the most durable, with a lifespan nearing 100 years. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspecting for leaks, can extend lifespans. </p></div>

"THIS IS THE COMPANY TO HIRE. The facia of our home had a curved molding throughout and had to be removed and replaced with a straight facia in order to attach the gutters. As it turned out various parts of our home required 2 and 3 long wood heavy boards. The company sent out 3 teams and these hard working gentlemen did a PROFESSIONAL, PERFECT JOB. MY neighbors were so impressed, stating they observed this team working non stop. Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, HARD WORKING. Left our property as they found it - CLEAN. Also important is that they're competitively priced."
