Q: Does the wrong gutter gauge affect gutter sagging?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gutter-thickness.htm">gutter gauge</a> is a measurement of the thickness of the gutter material. If you have gutters that are too thick and heavy for the screws and brackets holding them in place, they may sag. Materials that are too thin could suffer damage that leads to sagging. A professional gutter installer can ensure you have the right gutter gauge. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay to pressure wash gutters?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s okay to use a pressure washer to clear and clean your gutters. Be careful to avoid the outside of the gutters, as getting too close with the powerwasher can peel away the paint. Also, be careful to avoid causing any damage to seams that may be in the corners or along the length of the gutter.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean the tops of gutter guards?

• <div><p>To clean the tops of gutter guards, use a soft-bristle brush or a leaf blower to remove debris like leaves, twigs, or dirt. For stubborn grime, spray the guards with a garden hose, directing water downward to avoid forcing debris into the gutter. If the guards are removable, take them off and rinse thoroughly before reattaching. Regular cleaning, especially during fall or after storms, will help maintain their effectiveness. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common gutter size?

• <div><p>The standard size for residential gutters is 5 inches. Some houses opt for 6-inch gutters to stand against heavy rain since they can hold significantly more water. Five-inch gutters are 3.5 inches deep, and 6-inch gutters are 3.75 inches deep. If you have an all-tile or all-metal roof, you&rsquo;ll need at least 6-inch-wide gutters. </p></div>

I hired them to clean a large rug that my diogs and cats had been using. Needless to say there was hair and urine stains. I was going to throw it away. So my last hope was to try and get it cleaned. They were quick and kind. The rug looks great! I would differently use them again!

They showed up on time. The cost came in exactly as quoted. The roof repair looks wonderful. They fixed a tile on the other side that was not even part of the job. We are really happy with their work. The young helpers left tools and trash all over, but the boss came back and cleaned up behind...
