When to Hire a Gutter Service

Clean gutters at least twice yearly (spring and fall) or more with heavy tree cover. Hire a professional for cleaning if you're not comfortable on ladders. Signs of needed repair include sagging gutters, visible rust or holes, water pooling at foundation, or overflows during rain. Gutter guards reduce cleaning frequency but don't eliminate it.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring

• Do you inspect for damage during cleaning?
• What gutter guard types do you offer and recommend?
• For new gutters, what gauge material do you use?
• How do you ensure proper slope for drainage?
• Do you flush downspouts to check for clogs?
• Is there warranty coverage for gutter guards?
• Do you offer annual maintenance plans?

Red Flags to Watch For

• Doesn't check downspouts during cleaning
• Blows debris onto roof or leaves on ground
• Uses thin gauge material for new gutters
• Doesn't ensure proper slope toward downspouts
• Makes gutter guard claims that are too good to be true
• No insurance for working on ladders at your home
• Won't provide proof of cleaning completed
