Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters collect water runoff and debris from your roof and carry it away from your property. They can't work properly without maintenance. Blocked gutters can lead to pooled water and trapped moisture on your roof. This can cause leaks in your roof and walls, contributing to mildew, mold, and costly structural damage.
Clogged gutters allow water to spill over and saturate the ground around your home’s foundation during heavy rainfall. This collected water can harm 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 Brookhaven
We recommend Brookhaven 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 for your decision. We suggest getting quotes from at least three companies to find the best pricing. Make sure you get any financial agreements in writing before the work begins. You may also be able to get a discount on gutter cleaning if the company offers other home services in a bundle.
Customer Reviews
Look at online reviews to gauge customer satisfaction and see what other homeowners say about a gutter cleaner’s work quality and policies. Check if the company was on time and provided quality service. Note if past customers suggest better gutter cleaners in their reviews. Reviews can help you decide if it’s your first time hiring a professional gutter cleaner.

Licensing, Permits, and Insurance
All states require a business license, but may not require a trade license to clean gutters. The company may also need a permit and business insurance. Check your state's contractor board site for specific requirements.
