Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters protect your home by channeling water and debris away from your siding and foundation. They can't work properly without regular cleaning. Water can pool on your roof due to clogged gutters, resulting in roof and wall leaks, mold, mildew, 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. Cosmetically, a gutter clog can also affect landscaping and curb appeal.
How To Choose a Gutter Cleaning Company in Atlantic City
We recommend Atlantic City homeowners look at the following factors when selecting a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Cost is an important factor when choosing a gutter cleaner. We recommend getting estimates from at least three companies to find the best rates. Make sure you get any financial agreements in writing before the work begins. You should also check if the company has discounted bundles for other home services, such as glass window cleaning.
Customer Reviews
Look at online reviews to assess customer satisfaction and see what other homeowners say about a gutter cleaner’s workmanship and policies. See if the company was on time and delivered quality service. Note if the customer suggests a better gutter cleaning company than the one you're researching. Getting the endorsement of past customers can give you peace of mind if it’s your first time hiring a professional gutter cleaner.
Equipment and Methods
Stay away from gutter cleaners who cut corners and feel free to ask about the quality of their equipment and methods. A reliable gutter company will show up with all required equipment in good condition and abide by safety standards.Experience and Training
Your gutter cleaner must have proper training and experience. You can check with the company how long it's been in business or look it up on the Better Business Bureau. Find out what types of services it specializes in.
Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
Avoid hiring a company that isn’t licensed, permitted, or insured. 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. Check your state's contractor board site for details.
