Don’t let this part of your home go unserviced
The fall leaves are fast approaching us and it’s probably a good time to clean the gutters on your home or business. Many risky homeowners do this project each year to properly maintain their homes. What you may not know is just how often this service should really be done. Most homes in the Seattle area should really be cleaned a minimum of twice a year or more depending on the type of trees and their proximity. We are in the Evergreen State and generally there is no shortage of trees around us.
The many different seasons bring with them a variety of issues. In the summer and early fall we tend to have some brisk winds that bring loose branches and pine needles down onto our roofs and into our gutters. These leaves, needles and twigs should be removed in preparation for the heavy rains our city sees. At end of fall, it is important to make sure gutters are clear as to not allow ice dams to form around your downspouts.
Any time standing water is allowed to form there is a tremendous amount of weight being placed on your gutters that can result in detachment of the gutter from the fascia board. After late winter rolls around we are safe to yet again pull out the leaves and needles. Summer can also be a great time to have us come out. Our most thorough cleaning of your roof and gutters can generally be done at this time with a backpack leaf blower . This can make for a time consuming and risky job.
For us this a normalcy and we have the equipment to do a safe and effective job. Call us soon so we can take care of your home or commercial property and dialogue more specifically as to how often is right for you. We promise you won’t be disappointed with our work. The time and risk we save you may just lead you to state as one of our customers put it ” You don’t know how much I look forward to writing this check”.
