GUTTERS!
YOUR FRIEND AGAINST WET WEATHER

Clean gutters of leaves and debris to help prevent damage to your landscaping and siding, and to your foundation that may cost $10,000 or more. Don't wait til you see the water is flowing over or ice is building up on your one of the layers of the houses protection.

While the weather is still manageable your weekend warrior to do list has another item to address.

How Often Should You Clean Gutters?

Clean gutters at least once a year — twice a year if you have overhanging trees. Also, clean clogged gutters after big storms. Clogs often occur where downspouts join the gutter system — check these areas closely.

How to Clean Gutters
Wear a shirt with long sleeves. Wear rubber gloves.
Have a good extendable ladder available.Standoff stabilizers (ladder “horns”) are ideal to keep the ladder from damaging the gutter.
Use a small plastic scoop to remove gunk. Buy a gutter scoop from the hardware store ($25) or try a child’s sand shovel.
Spare your lawn by dumping the stuff onto a plastic tarp.
After you’ve cleared the muck, flush the gutters and downspouts with a garden hose — also a great way to spot any leaks.
How Much Does it Cost to Pay for Someone to Clean Gutters?
If climbing ladders is not your cup of tea, you can hire someone to do the job for you for $50-$250, depending on the size and height of your house.

Should You Try Gutter Covers?

Interested in an ounce of prevention? You can slow clogging by installing gutter covers in the form of mesh screens, clip-on grates, or porous foam. However, the cost can be more than the gutters themselves, and covers need regular maintenance to keep them clear. Expect to pay $6-$8/running foot for gutter covers, installed.
