Keep Gutters Clean This Fall
It’s hard to believe how quickly the time flies. It’s already that time of year when the leaves are starting to fall and the gutters are starting to fill. Bakeris Roofing has a program where we come out and clean your gutters. Starting at $199 (depending on the length of your gutters), we’ll make sure that your home is prepared for the winter.
Gutter cleaning is also kind of tied to some of the changes we made to the Overhead Care Club. We separated gutter cleaning from the actual inspections because some people just wanted their gutters cleaned as a standalone service. Members of the Overhead Care Club now also have repairs guaranteed for the life of the roof.
It’s always important to make sure your gutters are clean. If they are full, then water will back up and ruin your siding, get into your foundation, and even get into your basement. It can cause all kinds of damage. That’s why we recommend that you get them cleaned at least once a year. Some of our customers get it done twice a year, in the spring and the fall.
It’s easy to sign up. Just call us and tell us when you want it done, whether spring or fall. We’ll get it scheduled and keep an eye on the leaves and buds. Then we’ll call customers in an area with lots of debris and let them know that we’ll be stopping by for a cleaning. We’ll do something like leave a card in the door to let you know. You don’t even have to be home.
It’s no fun to clean the gutters yourself. There’s black gunk, it’s dirty, and it smells. Why not have somebody else do it for you? If there are any areas of your gutter that are damaged or rusty, we can make you aware so you can take care of it before things get worse.
Of course, we don’t do a full inspection while cleaning the gutters. (We won’t walk the whole roof, check the pipe boots, vents, etc.) But if there’s an obvious problem that’s visible while cleaning the gutters, we’ll be sure to let you know.
