Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters gather water runoff and debris from your roof, directing it away from the house. When not maintained, they can’t do their job properly. Water can collect on your roof due to clogged gutters, leading to roof and wall leaks, mold, mildew, and structural damage.
Water can't drain properly during heavy rainfall and can soak into your home's foundation. This pooled water can harm your foundation over time and lead to basement flooding. Cosmetically, a gutter clog can also affect landscaping and curb appeal.
How To Choose a Gutter Cleaning Company in Prescott Valley
We recommend homeowners in the Prescott Valley area review the following factors when hiring a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Cost is an important factor when selecting a gutter cleaner. We recommend getting quotes from at least three companies to compare rates. Be sure to get any financial agreements in writing before the work begins. You can also ask if the company offers other home services, such as window washing or roof repair, in case you can bundle them for a discount.
Customer Reviews
Always look at online reviews to gauge customer satisfaction and see what others say about a gutter cleaner’s workmanship and policies. Look for comments on service quality and timeliness. Note if past customers suggest a better gutter cleaner in their reviews. Getting the recommendation of previous customers can give you peace of mind if you haven't hired a gutter cleaner before.
Equipment and Methods
Avoid gutter cleaners who cut corners. Don't hesitate to ask about the quality of their equipment and methods. A reputable gutter company will show up with all required equipment in good condition and follow safety standards.Experience and Training
Your gutter cleaner must have proper training and experience. Ask how many years of experience staff have. Find out which types of gutter services the contractors specialize in.
Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
Not all states require a trade license to clean gutters, but all require a business license. Many areas also require a permit and business insurance. Visit your state's contractor board site for details. Avoid hiring any company lacking licensing, permits, or insurance.
