As autumn gets closer, many homeowners realize their gutters are not prepared for the leaves, rain, and eventually snow. By getting your gutters cleaned this winter, you can drastically reduce your risk of getting ice dams this winter. Fallen leaves and other debris can clog your gutter.

Why you should hire professionals to pressure wash your house?

If you have dirty siding and want it cleaned, the first instinct is to do it yourself. If this were only a short term decision that would be fine. You would save a few bucks and have your house mostly clean. However, this is not a short term decision. It is very long term. Improper cleaning of your houses exterior surfaces can lead to mold growing. Mold remediation is NOT cheap. This can cost you thousands of dollars to fix. It also can lead to health risks for you and your family. Let our professionals come and clean your house. While it may cost more than doing it yourself, hiring professionals will ensure that they have the right equipment and methods to clean your house.

Why you should not use gutter guards

What are gutter guards? Well, the simple explanation is they are a metal, plastic, or aluminum mesh product that is either screwed, clipped, or placed over your rain gutters. They are designed to prevent leaves, pine needles, and other debris from getting into your gutter and clogging your gutter and downspouts. What we at Surface Pro have discovered is that they really just create twice the mess and twice the upkeep. This is because they gutter still gets clogged with smaller particles like dirt, roof granules, and pine needles, and the guard becomes clogged with leaves and other debris. (See picture below)


The only real efficient way to have clear gutters and downspouts is to clean them out in the spring, and the fall. While the premise of gutter guards and gutter covers seems like a good idea, the reality is they are simply inefficient and ineffective. In our opinion the value is not there when it comes to gutter guards.
