Being a small company we eager to win our customers with quality workmanship at reasonable rates, much lower than the larger companies. One of our mottos is not to sell you something that you don't need. Unlike the larger companies who have their services techs selling products in order to get a commission check once they arrive to your home or business. Our motivation stems from hearing stories of contractors who take advantage of people who are elderly and on a fixed income, or you live in a nice subdivision in a nice house and they figure you can afford whatever price they decide.My target market is to Home owners, real estate investors, retail shop owners, commercial property and restaurants. Serious inquiries only please, thank you!
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.
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.
Gutter guards and covers can minimize debris accumulation.
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.
Regular cleaning, checking for leaks, and ensuring that downspouts direct water away from the foundation help prolong gutter life.
