Get your mind out of the gutter!

Thinking we may want someone to inspect and clean our gutters.

This is our first year as homeowners. Would you suggest having this service done now (mid-October) or later in the winter (after more leaves have fallen)?

Any recommendations for good, honest, trustworthy and reasonably-priced gutter-cleaning companies?

Thanks!!

Well, all the leaves have yet to fall, so...

Are your gutters too high up or your roof too steep to check it yourself? You might wait until all the leaves are gone then just check the corners just above the downspouts to see if there's a big clog. Your first clue to a problem will be water overflowing your gutters like a waterfall during a heavy rain or water damage on your ceiling where gutter clogs have caused the rain to back up into your soffits.

Years ago we used All Phase Exteriors to clean ours and install gutter screens and new downspouts and they were great. If you have a lot of trees, you may want to look into screens.

I live in the woods with large VERY leafy trees. I cleaned the gutters every year still had backup problems. Installed screens and no more gutter cleaning or floods. I used Meeks Siding & Window Craftsman (615) 876-2126. Billy Meeks has done a few other jobs for me in the past. I highly recommend him. He is rated A+ by the BBB.
