Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters catch water runoff and debris from your roof and direct it away from your property. When not maintained, they can’t do their job properly. Blocked gutters can lead to standing water, leaks, and costly structural damage.
Water runoff from blocked gutters sinks into the ground around your home’s foundation, which can crack your foundation over time and lead to basement flooding. A gutter clog can also affect landscaping and curb appeal.
How To Choose a Gutter Cleaning Company in Aurora
We recommend Aurora homeowners look at the following factors when selecting a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Cost is an important factor when selecting a gutter cleaner. We suggest getting quotes from at least three companies to find the best 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 cleaning or roof repair, in case you can bundle them for a discount.
Customer Reviews
Customer reviews can reveal important information about the company's policies and workmanship. See if the company was on time and offered quality service. Note if past customers suggest better gutter cleaners in their reviews. Reviews can help you decide if you haven't hired a professional gutter cleaning company before.
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 required equipment in good condition and abide by cleaning methods that adhere to safety standards.Experience and Training
Proper gutter maintenance requires skill and expertise. 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. Check your state's contractor board site for details.
