Everett Gutter Pros
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
We suggest cleaning your gutters at least twice each year. If you have substantial foliage around your house or building (especially pine trees) we suggest cleaning every three months.
When should I plan to have my gutters cleaned?
Generally, you should clean in Spring - Late Spring, and late in the Fall. Spring cleaning helps prepare for pending Summer weather, and provides an opportunity to inspect any damage that may have occurred during the Winter. Fall cleaning is perhaps the most critical, as your gutters are more likely to be filled with leaves and organic material which has fallen from trees for the last several months. Conducting both cleanings maximizes the chances of your gutters functioning well, and helps you avoid costly repairs.
Can I clean my gutters on my own?
Yes, absolutely! If you know what you're doing, and you're comfortable, we provide some handy guidance on self-cleaning at this link. However, you need the right tools, a ladder, a basic understanding of what you're doing, and a couple free hours. Also, a warning in advance: Gutter cleaning is not exactly fun. That's why we're here to help. Save your time and frustration and give us a call. We can take care of the work for you, save your weekend, and repair any damage we may find. We also provide other services like moss removal, roof blow-offs, and maintenance work. Save time and money by having us out - you won't regret it. If you do plan to tackle your own gutter cleaning project, please be safe - especially with ladders.
Do you install gutters?
Absolutely. We can install as part of a new home/building build, or as part of an upgrade/reinstall. Just let us know, and we'll be happy to help.
Do you remove gutters?
You bet. Decided to upgrade? Gutters damaged after a storm? We can help. Give us a call, and we can assess your project and provide a quote. Need multiple services? We can easily come to your location, remove old gutters, purchase and install new ones, and leave your house or property cleaner than we found it.
Do I need to be home when you work?
Not generally. For most services like blow-offs, moss removal, cleaning, etc, you don't have to be present. Our team will schedule a service call with you prior, and work out all the details. From there, you can sit back and take care of other important work while our team provides exceptional service.
I have a shed/outbuilding or other structure - can you do gutters on that too?
We'll put gutters on anything! (Ok, not exactly "anything", but small buildings like sheds, detached garages, etc are our thing). Let us know what your project looks like and we will be happy to help.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. While installation of gutters and cleaning on commercial buildings is slightly different than on houses, our team is up for the job. We offer similar services around install, cleaning, maintenance, and replacement. Check our services page for more information. Note that there are a few building types we can't effectively serve (like skyscrapers or buildings with unique or integrated guttering) but these are few and far in between. Give us a call to discuss today.
Is your work warrantied.
Absolutely. During your call, ask about our warranty and guarantees. Regardless, rest assured that we'll get the work done right - and if there are any issues, we'll take care of them.
Are there specific types of gutters you won't work on?
No - we work on everything. We've yet to find something we can't fix or clean.
How long does a gutter installation project take?
While every project is different, generally gutter installation takes 1-2 days. This of course depends on the size of your home, number of gutters you are replacing or installing, and the degree to which you've performed gutter maintenance. Clean, well-maintained gutters are easier to uninstall, whereas old ones may be tougher to remove in some cases. Additionally, should our gutter pros identify fascia damage or structural issues, fixing these may delay our work slightly. All told though, we can finish a gutter installation job in a day or two!
Do you install gutter helmets/guards?
Yes. These are a great option depending on your circumstances. We can install gutter guards or gutter helmets, and we can also clean gutters equipped with guards and helmets. Just let us know and we'll get you the service you need.
Can I install my own gutters? Is tackling gutter installation on my own smart?
We are firm believers that almost anyone can pull something off when they put their mind to it! That applies for gutters as well. Generally, gutter installation projects aren't overly complicated. The same is true for gutter repair, gutter cleaning, and gutter repair projects. When you think about it, gutters aren't overly complicated. There aren't any moving parts. Gutters are carefully aligned and diligently mounted troughs through which water flows. That's it. All of that being said, you MUST get gutter installation right - and get it right the first time. Improperly installed gutters can wreak havoc on your home, and may not function properly. This could lead to damage to your gutters, roof, foundation, or worse. And unfortunately, learning how to properly install gutters can take time. It's also generally safe to say that you'll be slower at something you're doing for the first time. So while we believe you can install your own gutters, we highly recommend a team of professionals tackle your job, and apply decades of experience in the process - plus we'll guarantee our gutter installation or gutter repair work. Want to save money? Perhaps hire a team to install your gutters, but tackle gutter cleaning and gutter repair on your own.
I have a high-end gutter system installed and the manufacturer says it does not require service.
Depending on what you have, your high-end gutters may not require much work or cleaning. Perhaps, even after a few years, they're functioning perfectly and are clean. While this could be the case, we are still fans of preventative maintenance. Our team is happy to come out and inspect your gutters, clean your roof, fix any repairs or minor issues, and confirm that your investment is in great shape. In a sense, we can provide an "annual checkup" and ensure everything is as it should be. We can also conduct an unofficial inspection of your roof, and note any non-gutter-related issues we might see. If you've got the time and money, we recommend this type of work to keep your home or structure at its peak value.
What are K-Style gutters?
K-Style gutters are a type of gutter with a double-curved design element which allows them to carry more water. Like most gutters, they come in a variety of sizes based on your project need.
