Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters catch water runoff and debris from your roof and carry it away from your house. When not maintained, they can’t work properly. Water can collect on your roof due to blocked gutters, resulting in leaks, mold, and structural damage.
Water can't drain properly during heavy rainfall and can saturate your home's foundation. This trapped water can harm your foundation over time and lead to basement flooding. A gutter clog can also impact landscaping and curb appeal.
How To Choose a Gutter Cleaning Company in Cerritos
We recommend homeowners in the Cerritos area look at the following factors when choosing a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
It's important to consider cost, but it shouldn't be the only factor determining your decision. We suggest getting quotes from at least three companies to find the best pricing. Make sure you get any financial agreements in writing before the work starts. You should also ask if the company offers discounted packages for other home services, such as glass window cleaning.
Customer Reviews
Customer reviews can reveal key information about the company's policies and workmanship. Check if the company was on time and offered good service. Note if the customer recommends a better gutter cleaning company than the one reviewed. Reviews can help you decide if it’s your first time hiring a professional gutter cleaner.
Equipment and Methods
Don't hesitate to ask about the quality of their equipment and methods. A reputable gutter company will show up with all necessary equipment in good condition and follow cleaning methods that follow safety standards.Experience and Training
Hiring a gutter cleaning service isn’t solely about finding someone to do the manual labor. Professional gutter cleaning is a skill. You can check with the company how long it's been in business or the Better Business Bureau. Ask what types of services it specializes in.
Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
Gutter cleaning companies must have a business license in every state, but may not need one depending on the state. The company may also need a permit and liability insurance. Your state contractor board's website will list the requirements.
