Gutter Cleaning Charleston | Why Not To Install Gutter Guards | This content was written for Window Ninjas Window & Pressure Cleaning. Are you looking at putting gutter guards on your home? Well, I am here to tell you why a gutter cleaning Charleston service is much better than gutter guards. Our team here at window tint rows recommends that you do not get gutter guards put on your home. There are many reasons why we recommend this, and I'm going to do my best to cover them in this article. Gutter guards seemed like a good idea, and they are all the rage right now. We have many customers that will ask us if we install them. They also asked us if we think it's a good idea for their home. In most cases, we do not recommend gutter guards. There are a few exceptions, but overall, we would say that gutter guards are not worth the price that you will pay. If you would like to hear more about what we have to say about gutter guards, keep reading. If you would rather schedule a gutter cleaning service with our team today, give us a call. You can reach us at our phone number listed 843-790-8447, or you can request a service at windowninjas.com. The first reason why we would not recommend that you could gutter guards is because they are not as effective as everyone says. The truth is, most homes have too much foliage around them to make gutter guards a hundred percent effective. Leaves, shingle dust, and pine straw are going to work their way through your gutter guards, and then they will still clog your gutters. Even if your gutter guards keep all of the debris out of your gutters, where do you think the debris will go? It can't all just fall off the side of your gutters. Your gutters are flat, and the debris is going to build up on top of your gutter guards which is still going to then cause the water to run over the side of your house rather than through your gutter system. The main purpose of gutters is to redirect her water away from your home and Foundation. Gutter guards are not going to help you with this. It will be much more effective to have a regular gutter cleaning Charleston service taken care of on your home. Plus, you are going to save yourself a lot of money if you do this instead. The second reason why you shouldn't get gutter guards on your home, and you should just have a gutter cleaning Charleston service taken care of instead is because gutter guards are very easily damaged, And they're very expensive. Installing gutter guards is very expensive. I was talking to our head of sales, and he said that installing gutters cost about what it would take to have five years of a regular gutter cleaning Charleston service taken care of. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather just have a gutter cleaning Charleston service. Installing your gutters is going to be expensive. Plus, you are still going to have to have a regular gutter cleaning service taken care of in your home. You have to do this because you have to get your gutter guards cleared off. You're going to have to get your roof cleared off to get the debris off of it. Also, you're going to need a professional to check underneath your gutter guards to make sure your gutters are not clogged. When you have a gutter cleaning service taken care of in your home with gutter guards, it's going to be much more expensive than if you had a gutter cleaning service without better cards. This is because the service technicians have to remove the gutter guards, clean out the gutters, and then re-install the gutter guards. This is a lot of extra work. It also takes a lot of extra time. This is why we have to charge extra for this type of gutter cleaning service. Oh yeah, gutter guards are also very easily damaged. If you are a responsible gutter guard owner, you are going to climb up on the ladder and check to make sure that they are not clogged or that there is no debris that is built up on them. However, if you accidentally hit your gutter guards just a little bit too hard, they are going to bend. Once your gutter guards and they're going to be even less effective than they were before, and this means that you're going to have to go and have them repaired. Having your gutter guards repaired and reinstalled is going to be very expensive. We would recommend that you just have a regular gutter cleaning Charleston service taken care of. You are going to save so much money, and it will be just as effective gutter guards if not more. I know this sounds like there aren't very many good options. However, there are a couple. First of all, we would recommend that you have a regular gutter cleaning Charleston service taken care of. You need this whether you have gutter guards or not, and this is going to help you prevent a lot of damage to your home. So, give our team to call to schedule your gutter cleaning service today. Also, getting downspout strainers is a great alternative to gutter guards. They are about $15 per downspout, and they are going to straighten all of the debris out of your downspouts. They are going to perform basically the same function as a gutter guard, and they will save you a lot of money. They are also much easier to install. This is what our team would recommend rather than getting gutter guards put on your home. These are the reasons why our team does not recommend gutter guards. If you are looking for a regular gutter cleaning Charleston service though, we are here to help. Give our team a call today to schedule your appointment at 843-790-8447, or request a service at our wonderful website windowninjas.com. Back to All Posts
