"I called to set up an appointment and he came the next day. Did an excellent job. Very nice friendly and professional. The cost was very reasonable. He also inspected our roof for us and took pictures so we could see any damage. We would definitely use him again."
"All went very well. Started on a Thursday, worked through the weekend and had 5000 square ft of roof complete by Saturday. Rained on Sunday and his Carpenter didn't work Sundays. His carpenter finished the facia on Monday and did crew did all gutters and down spouts on Tuesday. Have a few connections to make to underground drains, but waiting on me to get the drains installed...."
"I hired them to replace flooring in my house. They replaced my nasty old floor with beautiful new vinyl flooring, about 1000 square feet. They worked professionally, well mannered, and had great time management. Overall thumbs up, good customer service!!"
Yes, you can use a pressure washer to effectively clean debris, dirt, and grime from your gutters, but it must be done with caution to avoid damage. Always use a low-pressure setting, with a recommended range between 1,200 and 1,800 PSI. Excessive pressure can bend or dent aluminum gutters, damage seams, peel paint, or even knock shingles off your roof, potentially leading to leaks and moisture issues. For a safer alternative, consider soft washing or cleaning them by hand. When using a pressure washer, it is safer to use gutter elbow extensions from the ground rather than climbing a ladder, as the force can cause instability. Due to the risks, you may want to hire a licensed and insured contractor for the job.
It is not recommended to clean gutters, or do any work on your roof for that matter, without the use of a ladder. Please make sure you have a spotter and avoid slippery surfaces when performing this task.
Use of harnesses and ladders ensures safe roof access.
You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire a professional gutter cleaner, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house). Follow these tips to keep your gutter downspouts clean.
Icicles don't necessarily mean your gutters are clogged or bad, but they can indicate an underlying issue. While clogged gutters can cause icicles to form, the problem could also be an ice dam on your roof from poor insulation. In that case, melting snow can refreeze in the gutter even without a clog. Regardless of the cause, the weight of the ice can damage your gutters or even rip them completely off the house. If you are unsure of the underlying problem, it's best to call a roofing company to assess the issue and implement a permanent solution.
