"I thought we had a clogged downspout. Tom proved that the downspout was clear and that we probably had more water during the rainfalls when the problem was observed than the gutters could deal with. The charge was fair. We'll use him again if needed."
"I am very pleased with the painting job completed by Mike. He is very professional. When I called he came out and gave me an estimate on the job. He followed that up with a written contract. Mike removed the shutters from my home and painted them. He also removed some warped wood around the windows, replaced and painted the wood. Mike also painted 3 outside doors. Mike kept in touch as to when he would arrive. He cleaned up when he was finished for the day. His philosophy is to do the job correctly the first time."
"We had a small job, only one side of our house needed power washed. House is over 80 years old and the brick needed cleaned. Rolling Suds was onsite quickly for an estimate and were able to schedule us within a week! The guys did a FANTASTIC job!! They were very polite and were working on rough ground as we are doing other excavating and repairs. This was the first time the brick was cleaned so there was a lot of buildup. Within 15 minutes, the guys had all the moss and mold buildup gone. Everyone we dealt with was very pleasant. We are very pleased with their work and highly recommend Rolling Suds. If needed, we will use them again!"
Whether or not you can use a pressure washer to clean your gutter guards depends on the type of gutter guard you have and the strength of the pressure washer. Most gutter guards can handle a low-pressure setting but check first. If you’re unsure if your gutter guard is designed for pressure washing, check your manufacturer’s instructions, ask a pro, or use a garden hose to clean the gutter guard instead. As gutter guards age, they become less resistant to the strong forces of a power washer, so treat older gutter guards with more care.
Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and ensuring that downspouts direct water away from the foundation help prolong gutter life.
Water should not be dripping behind your gutters. Rain dripping between your gutters and the fascia might indicate that the gutters are misaligned with the fascia board or there are loose screws in the gutters, allowing water to pass through. Start by checking for these issues and make repairs ASAP.
Yes, gutter cleaning methods without using a ladder are available, including:
A curved wand attachment for your hose
Gutter tongs on an extension pole
A leaf blower gutter cleaning kit
Vacuum designed for cleaning gutters
Just be sure that your downspouts are connected and can direct water away from the house if you’re using a water-powered method. This will keep the water from dumping next to the house.
If you do end up with frozen gutters, it's important to thaw them correctly. Thawing your gutters slowly is far safer than trying to break apart the ice. Once you get through the ice, bring in a gutter professional to check out the effectiveness of your heated system.
