"Gutters were cleaned and debris collected. Then the downspouts were flushed to check for smooth water flow. I was especially impressed at how clean the gutters and house siding were left with no stains on the siding and no mud or caked leaves left at the foundation or driveway. Certainly the best cleaning that has ever been performed at my house."
"G. Parker Contracting showed up to the job site promptly when stated and assessed my gutters. In addition, they gave me their honest opinion about the state of my gutters and stated I could get another 2 or 3 years on them. My gutters were in need of some tightening and cleaning up and this was done efficiently and I was informed of what was clogging the gutter. Had it not been for their expertise I would have ended up with something far more of a bigger problem had they not come. I highly recommend this company for prompt and efficient service; not to mention the kindness of the staff. Well satisfied!"
"From quoting to finished job they were very easy to deal with. They did great work, were on-time and were friendly and very professional and fantastic follow-up. The roof, fascia and new gutters look fantastic. Excellent value too:) LOOK NO FURTHER CALL PADDY'S"

Although having gutter guards and hoods dramatically reduces the number of times you will have to clean out your gutters, it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't ever have to clean your gutters. Experts recommend cleaning your gutters at least once every two years, even with gutter guards and hoods installed. If you don’t want to clean them yourself, you can hire a gutter cleaning company near you to complete the job.
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.
Downspouts channel water from your roof and gutters into the ground following a specific route so water doesn’t accumulate around your house’s foundation. Without a downspout, the standing water will wash away material and disrupt the soil, leading to foundation erosion. The standing water will also form ice around your house during cold weather, causing a safety hazard.
Yes, gutters can still get clogged even with gutter guards installed. While guards significantly reduce the amount of debris that enters your gutters, they are not 100% effective.
Small debris such as pine needles, seedlings, algae, small leaves, and pebbles can pass through the guard's screen or mesh and accumulate over time. Clogs can also form if the guards themselves are not cleaned and become overwhelmed with debris on top, preventing water from entering the gutter.
If this buildup is neglected, it can lead to clogs, water leaks, mold growth, and even plants sprouting from the gutters. The primary benefit of gutter guards is not the complete elimination of maintenance, but a dramatic reduction in how often you need to perform it, often from several times a year to just once a year or less.
Regularly clean debris, check for leaks at seams, and ensure proper drainage to prevent clogging and water damage.
