Why You Should Clean Your Gutters
Gutters direct water runoff and debris away from your home. They can't do their job properly without maintenance. Clogged gutters can lead to pooled water and trapped moisture on your roof. This can result in roof and wall leaks, contributing to mildew, mold, and expensive structural damage.
Water spillage from clogged gutters sinks into your home’s foundation, which can damage 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 Lebanon
We recommend Lebanon homeowners look at the following factors when hiring a gutter cleaning company.
Cost
Price isn't the only factor to consider, but it does play a part in your decision. Request a quote from three or more companies, and don't start any work before getting a financial agreement in writing. It’s also a good idea to ask if the company provides other home services, such as window washing or roof repair, in case it has a bundling discount.
Customer Reviews
Your research process should include checking online feedback to gauge customer satisfaction. Check if the company was on time and offered good service. Note if the customer suggests a better gutter cleaning company than the one reviewed. Reviews can help you decide if you haven't hired a professional gutter cleaner before.
Equipment and Methods
Stay away from gutter cleaners who cut corners and feel free to ask about their methods and equipment quality. A reputable gutter company will show up with all required equipment in good condition and abide by 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 services it specializes in.
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.
How Much Does Gutter Cleaning Cost in Lebanon?
The cost of gutter cleaning depends on factors such as ZIP code, gutter condition, gutter length, home height, and more. Expect to pay $120–$225 for gutter cleaning, averaging $220 for 200 linear feet in Lebanon. Higher homes cost more since their elevated gutters are more dangerous to clean.
