Gutter Brightening

We'll Clean and Brighten Your Gutter System

Gutters are an integral piece of your home’s well-being. They serve to control the flow of rainwater to protect your roof, walls, foundation, and landscape.

But when neglected, experts say, gutters can turn from a necessity to a nightmare. A gutter clogged with leaves, sticks, and other debris can cause a leaky roof or water damage to the interior or exterior of your home. Contractors say gunked-up gutters also make nice homes for pests, rodents, mold, and honeycombs from bee infestations.

How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned?

It depends largely on where you live and, most importantly, how many trees are in your yard. Most experts recommend having gutters maintained in the spring and fall.

It is important to have a professional clean the downspouts as well because a clogged downspout “makes it hard for the rain to go down, and that causes them to back up and overflow the gutter, which can cause damage to your home.”

You can judge how often to clean your gutters based on how often leaves in your area fall and the types of leaves.

Do the Job Yourself or Hire a Professional?

Although cleaning gutters is a task most homeowners can do themselves, it can be dangerous work. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, falls from ladders sent more than 240,000 Americans to hospital emergency rooms in 2009 (the most recent year available).

During a cleaning, a professional should remove all debris from the roof, gutters, and downspouts while checking and repairing any loose gutter spikes.

Gutter brightening removes the dark layer of oxidation and/or striping effect and is considered a restoration process as it restores gutters to their original white color.
