Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters protect your home by directing water and debris away from your siding and foundation. They can't work properly without maintenance. Water can collect on your roof due to clogged gutters, resulting in roof and wall leaks, mold, and structural damage.
Water runoff from clogged gutters soaks into the ground around your home’s foundation, which can weaken 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 Brooklyn Park
We recommend Brooklyn Park homeowners review the following factors when selecting a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
It's important to consider cost, but it shouldn't be the only factor determining your decision. We recommend getting estimates from at least three companies to find the best pricing. Make sure you get any financial agreements in writing before the work starts. The company may also offer gutter cleaning at a discount when bundled with other home services, such as glass window washing.
Customer Reviews
Look at online reviews to assess 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. The customer may also suggest 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
Avoid gutter cleaners who cut corners. Feel free 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 adhere to cleaning methods that adhere to safety standards.Experience and Training
Proper gutter maintenance is a skill. Ask the company how long it's been in business or check the Better Business Bureau. Inquire about the training and services it offers.
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 find your location’s requirements on your state’s contractor board website.
