When Should You Clean Your Gutters?

In general, you should do gutter cleaning at least twice a year. Depending on what kind of trees you have near your house (like pine trees or oak trees), you may need to clean them every three months.

Why Keeping Your Gutters Clean Is Important?

When gutters aren't cleaned often, water builds up and has nowhere to go but into the house, which can cause substantial water damage. Too much moisture in your house can cause cracks in the foundation or mold growth, which can attract bugs and rodents.

Akron Roofers Discuss The Benefits Of Having Gutter Guards Installed

September 22, 2022

Akron, Ohio -

Akron, Ohio-based TK Roofing & Gutters is a company that always likes to keep its customers up-to-date of the latest innovations that will help them easily maintain their roofs. This family-owned and operated company has been in business since 2007, and urges its customers to consider installing safety-promoting and time-saving gutter guard systems.

Daryl Gentry recently posted an article on the website that discusses some of the unpopular aspects of gutter cleaning and the many benefits of installing innovative gutter guards. Gentry says, “As the owner of TK Roofing & Gutters, we are very familiar with what it takes to keep a roof looking good and properly shedding water. This means we are also very familiar with the tedious and potentially unsafe task of gutter cleaning. A task that can be easily avoided by installing efficient and affordable gutter guards.”

The above-mentioned post is titled ‘When Should I Clean My Gutters?’. It starts with some helpful tips for those that still choose to clean their gutters themselves manually. This includes suggesting gutter cleaning be undertaken at least twice a year and even more often if there are many tall trees surrounding a home.

The article also states that gutter cleaning should never be done while standing on a roof and talked about how safety is paramount when someone is standing on a ladder when cleaning their gutters. Some of the important safety gear and other tools required for gutter cleaning were also mentioned.

The post ended by stating that there is now an affordable way for homeowners to eliminate ever having to do extensive gutter cleaning again. That’s by letting an experienced company like TK Roofing & Gutters install gutter guards on their new or existing gutters.

The article claims that these simple but effective devices keep large unwanted debris from filling up and clogging any type of gutter system. This, in turn, will eliminate the unsafe conditions which are often present when gutter cleaning is undertaken and save homeowners many hours each year doing this demanding and labor-intensive household maintenance chore.

The article also pointed out that clogged gutters can lead to many unwanted conditions. This includes the saturation and rotting of structural roof parts, insect and rodent infestations, and water being shed into other areas around a home where it may cause such problems as flooded basements or cracked foundations. All of these can be avoided by having a properly installed gutter guard system in place.

Those who have contracted with TK Roofing & Gutters to have gutter guards installed or other roofing projects done for them often express great satisfaction with the services the company has provided for them. Lee Szwast stated, “Words cannot express how satisfied we are with TK roofing and gutters. We had a full roof and gutter replacement, and Daryl and his guys did a fantastic job. The quality of work and attention to detail was exactly what we expected and hoped for. We highly recommend this company. Pricing is very competitive, and cleanup was above and beyond; I am hard-pressed to find any leftover nails, which is unbelievable! Thank you for a job well done!”

Traci proclaimed, “I hired TK Roofing and Gutters to install new gutters on my Cape Cod home built in 1949. Daryl came to my home for the consultation and measurement and was able to send me the estimate later that day. The crew that installed the new gutters was professional and went above and beyond my expectations. They even found an area of the roof where two angles overlap that needed special attention, so they installed a custom splash panel to route the water runoff properly into the gutter. I highly recommend this company.”

Gentry added that they are always willing to discuss over the phone or in person how gutter guards can benefit every single homeowner. He stated that their website also contains helpful information on their roof repair and gutter installation services.
