It’s important to keep your gutters clear and clog-free, particularly during fall. While some homeowners prefer to clean their gutters themselves, we recommend against this practice. It’s better to leave this job to a professional. A gutter company knows not only which best gutter systems to install, but the best practices to keep your gutters clean. Here’s why cleaning gutters yourself is a bad idea:
It’s Difficult
While a gutter company may make the work seem easy, it is not. Professionals have training and extensive experience, which is why they can clean your gutters efficiently. Chances are, if you climb up and do it yourself, you will find the work tedious and tiring. It is better to leave the job to someone else.
It’s Safer
Climbing up on a ladder to clean your gutters always poses a risk. Aside from falling, you also have no idea what kinds of critters or pests may have settled in your gutter system. A professional has a complete set of tools and safety equipment to make the job as safe as possible.
It Leads to Better Results
Pros aren’t just pros because they do the job quickly. They also do the job properly. If you clean your gutters yourself the result won’t nearly be as thorough as when a pro cleans your gutters. In addition, working with a professional will also give you peace of mind should issues arise.
It Saves Time and Money
Most homeowners want to clean their gutters themselves because they want to save money. However, amateur work often leads to unsatisfactory results and can even damage your gutters or roofing system. This leads to more expenses. It is better to get the job done right the first time to save yourself the time and hassle.
