Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters collect water runoff and debris from your roof and carry it away from your home. When not maintained, they can’t work properly. Blocked gutters can lead to standing water on your roof, leaks in your roof and walls, and structural damage.
Clogged gutters can also cause a cracked foundation and basement flooding. Rainfall can't drain properly and water collects around the foundation, weakening it. Cosmetically, a gutter clog can also impact landscaping and curb appeal.
How To Choose a Gutter Cleaning Company in Costa Mesa
We recommend homeowners in the Costa Mesa area consider the following factors when selecting a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Cost isn't the only factor to consider, but it does play a part in your decision. We recommend getting quotes from at least three companies to find the best rates. Make sure you get any financial agreements in writing before the work begins. The company may also offer gutter cleaning at a discount when bundled with other home services, such as window cleaning or roof repair.
Customer Reviews
Look at online reviews to gauge customer satisfaction and see what others say about a company’s workmanship and policies. See if the company was on time and provided quality service. Note if past customers recommend better gutter cleaners in their reviews. Getting the endorsement of previous customers can give you peace of mind if it’s your first time choosing a professional gutter cleaner.
Equipment and Methods
Don't hesitate to ask gutter contractors about the quality of their equipment and methods. A reputable gutter company will show up with all required equipment in good condition and adhere to cleaning methods that follow safety standards.Experience and Training
Using a gutter cleaning service isn’t only about the manual labor. Professional gutter maintenance is a skill. Ask the company how long it's been in business or check the Better Business Bureau. Find out what kind of training the staff undergoes and what services it specializes in.
Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
All states require a business license, but may not require a trade license to clean gutters. Several areas also require a permit and business insurance. You can determine your location’s requirements on your state’s contractor board website.
