Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters prevent damage to your home by carrying water and debris away from your siding and foundation. They can't do their job properly without maintenance. Water can pool on your roof due to clogged gutters, resulting in roof and wall leaks, mold, and structural damage.
Clogged gutters allow water to spill over and soak into your home’s foundation during heavy rainfall. This collected water can weaken and crack 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 Braintree Town
We recommend Braintree Town homeowners look at the following factors when selecting a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Cost is an important factor when selecting a gutter cleaner. Ask for an estimate from three or more companies, and get any financial agreements in writing before the work begins. The company may also discount gutter cleaning when bundled with other home services, such as glass window washing.
Customer Reviews
Your research should include reviewing online feedback to gauge customer satisfaction. See if the company was on time and provided good service. Note if the customer suggests a better company than the one you're considering. Reviews can help you decide if you haven't hired a gutter cleaner before.
Equipment and Methods
Stay away from 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 necessary equipment in good condition and adhere to cleaning methods that meet safety standards.Experience and Training
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 gutter repairs and cleaning services it specializes in.
Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
Not all states require a trade license to clean gutters, but all require a business license. Several areas also require a permit and business insurance. You can determine your location’s regulations on your state’s contractor board website.
