How to Prepare for Your Gutter Cleaning Appointment

The Consumer Product Safety Commission finds that ladder-related injuries send more than 90,000 people to the ER each year.  This is a pretty good reason to consider hiring a professional – accidents happen fast, even to the best of us.  So, unless you’re dead set on taking the risk yourself, it’s best to let a licensed and insured gutter cleaning service handle it instead.  For more information on how to choose a reliable gutter pro near you, check out our previous article here.

Once you’ve found and set up an appointment with a local gutter cleaning company, you should prepare for their arrival.  Here are a few things you can do to ensure a smooth experience for both parties:

Be Available

While it’s not required to be home for the cleaning, there are a few reasons it can help.  There are a lot of things that can affect the final price, such as the number of stories, any broken sections, or hard to reach areas.  To make sure you’re on the same page and understand the final invoice, try to be present. For more information on how much it costs to have your gutters cleaned, check out our previous article here.

If you aren’t going to be home, you can leave a check taped to the door or in a conspicuous place.  You can also pay with a credit card online after the job is complete.

Prepare the Location

You should arrange for any vehicles to be removed or pulled back from the home so as not to interfere with the project.  There’s nothing worse than having a ladder or some heavy debris ruin a paint job.  You should also make sure your exterior water spigots are on and working so the cleaning crew can rinse out the gutters.  Lastly, ensure all doors and windows are closed to avoid any water getting inside your home.

Inform of Any Problem Areas

If you know of any areas that are of particular concern, such as where spillovers or leaks occur, try and let the cleaning service know about it.  Last but not least, don’t be afraid to ask any questions.

How To Pay

Payment is due upon completion of work. We accept cash, check, credit/debit and even Venmo!

There’s you have it, some simple, easy tips to help make the best of your gutter cleaning.
