Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters collect water runoff and debris from your roof, diverting it away from your house. They can't do their job properly without routine maintenance. Clogged gutters can cause standing water on your roof, leaks, and costly structural damage.
Water spillage from blocked gutters soaks into the ground around your home’s foundation, which can damage your foundation over time and lead to basement flooding. Cosmetically, a gutter clog can also impact landscaping and curb appeal.
How To Choose a Gutter Cleaning Company in Shelton
We recommend Shelton homeowners review the following factors when hiring a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Price shouldn’t be the only factor you consider, but it does play a part in your decision. Compare estimates from at least three companies, and 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
Customer reviews can reveal a lot about the company's workmanship and policies. Check if the company was on time and delivered quality service. The customer may also suggest a better gutter company than the one reviewed. Reviews can help you decide if you haven't hired a gutter cleaning company before.
Equipment and Methods
Avoid gutter cleaners who cut corners. Don't hesitate to ask gutter contractors about their methods and equipment quality. A reputable gutter company will show up with all required equipment in good condition and follow cleaning methods that follow safety standards.Experience and Training
Proper 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
Some states require a trade license to clean gutters, but all require a business license. Many areas also require a permit and business insurance. Check your state's contractor board site for details.
