Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters carry water runoff and debris away from your house. They can't work properly without maintenance. Blocked gutters can lead to standing water on your roof, leaks, and expensive structural damage.
Water can't drain properly during heavy rainfall and can saturate the ground around your home's foundation. This collected water 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 Passaic
We suggest Passaic homeowners look at the following factors when hiring a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Cost is an important factor when choosing a gutter cleaner. We suggest getting quotes from at least three companies to find the best pricing. Be sure to get any financial agreements in writing before the work begins. You can also get a discount on gutter cleaning if the company offers other home services in a bundle.
Customer Reviews
Customer reviews can reveal key information about the company's policies and work quality. See if the company was on time and provided quality service. The customer may also suggest a better gutter company than the one reviewed. Reviews can help you decide if it’s your first time using a professional gutter cleaner.
Equipment and Methods
Stay away from gutter cleaners who cut corners and feel free to ask gutter contractors about their methods and equipment quality. A reputable gutter cleaning company will show up with all required equipment in good condition and adhere to 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 look it up on the Better Business Bureau. Ask what types of gutter repairs and cleaning services it specializes in.
Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
Don't hire a company that isn’t licensed, permitted, or insured. Gutter cleaning companies need to have a business license in every state, but trade licensure varies by state. The company may also need a permit and business insurance. Your state contractor board's website will detail the requirements.
How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost in Passaic?
Gutter cleaning prices depend on factors such as gutter length, gutter condition, ZIP code, home height, and more. Average costs run $120–$225, with a price of $160 for 200 linear feet in Passaic. A taller home increases the cost because cleaning high gutters comes with greater risks.
