Folks, keeping your gutters free of debris
is one of the very best things that you can do
to protect your most valuable investment.
Far too many people put this crucial item off,
with devastating repercussions and consequences to their wallet.

| Your gutter system is truly one of the most important components of the exterior of your home. If it is ignored the damage can be severe, water is not friend to your house. |
in order to maintain proper water flow throughout the entire system.
Gutters are on the house for a reason, to move water away from your house.
Here is the problem, if you hire someone to do it, you need to expect to pay about $200.00 each time. If you are not wanting to pay someone to do it, you had better do it yourself, it can't be ignored, it has to be done, it's that simple. Hey I get it, climbing up on an extension ladder 28ft to 30ft in the air can put a bit of a scare into most of us. Remember, it is not the falling off of the ladder that actually can injure or kill you,
IT'S THE SUDDEN STOP!!! BTW if you are not used to dealing with an extension ladder every day, let me tell you they are mighty heavy, and extremely awkward, if you don't know what you are doing.
There is however another way, there are solutions available,
that can take care of this obstacle, once and for all.
Remember, it literally doesn't take much for a gutter system to get clogged up.
A cute little squirrel who is using your gutter system to play with his friends, can clog your system in about a day. Or how about a bird, who builds a nest in your gutters, thinking that your gutter system would be a great place to raise some little ones. 
Don't get me started on Hornets, Wasps, Bees or worst of all Mosquitos.
All of natures little creatures,
love gutter systems.
Don't Forget about the neighbor kid who just hit the homerun of his life, and his ball is now stuck in you downspout. You name it, I've seen it, from golf balls to tennis balls, to even a superman figure that was lodged in a system. All of these things can end up in gutter systems, before you even factor in falling leaves or other natural debris.
A gumball from a sweet gum tree can clog up a system as fast as anything I've ever seen. Then there is the dreaded Pine Needle, they pile and pile and pile up, and they do it all year long. There is no "FALL SEASON" for a pine needle.
It happens year round. People are always saying (you men out there)
"I'm gonna take care of those gutters this weekend," and most of us never do.
I actually see on many occasions, people who have so neglected their gutters, that there is actually an entire ecosystem, or small trees growing out of them.
Let me tell you what clogged gutters
can and will do if not taken care of:
1. Sweating of the roof decking--
this is the plywood or OSB that the felt, then shingles set on.
2. Rotting of the Fascia
3. Rotting of the Soffits
4. Masonry damage around the house.
5. Mold infiltration in the crawlspace.
Does any of this sound expensive? It is!!!
Here is the thing, this is preventable.
A Gutter protection system is one of the main things, that you
as a homeowner can do, to prevent these items from taking place.
Here is the problem though, with the majority of gutter protection that is being sold today, it seems like you need to take out a second mortgage on your home, just to pay for it.
I am not going to name names here, however if you have had one of these gutter protection companies come out, you know exactly what I am talking about. Having to sit through what seems to be and endless presentation, only to be issued with an overly inflated high price, is not only disingenuous, but insulting to people's intelligence.
