Now is your last chance to schedule a gutter cleaning before the leaves in your gutters become a frozen mass of debris
By Mimi Vanderhaven
Fall is beautiful here in Northeast Ohio. Cool mornings and warm afternoons, sweaters and hayrides, the blaze of reds, oranges and yellows as the trees prepare for their annual leaf drop. But leaves don’t fall into neat, little piles. Instead, they find their way into your gutters.
If you don’t clean this fall debris from your gutters before the cold temperatures arrive, you end up with debris frozen in your gutters, creating damaging overflows.
“If we get a warm spell in December or January, maybe we can clean that mess,” says Anthony Alberino, founder of The Gutter Boys. “But there’s no reason to take that chance. Let’s get those gutters cleaned in October and November.”
Gutter Covers, Too
In addition to gutter cleaning and repair, Anthony’s team also specializes in gutter covers. As you can see from the photo above, The Gutter Boys’ unique system features a micro-mesh guard with a raised S-curve. Unlike flat gutter guards, these raised S-curves promote the self-shedding of debris.
“There are two things you want in a gutter guard,” Anthony explains. “To keep leaves out and let water in. If water can’t flow in due to debris clogging the holes, the system fails, and you get overflows that can flood basements and damage foundations.”
The Last Chance
Now—before the final leaves fall—is a good time to have your gutter guards installed. And if you prefer your gutters cleaned but not covered, now isn’t just a good time for a cleaning, it’s your last chance.
“Again, once debris freezes in your gutters it is nearly impossible to remove,” Anthony says. “You can call us now for a one-time fall gutter cleaning or sign up for our subscription service and never worry about it again.”
That’s right—The Gutter Boys now offers a gutter cleaning subscription service. “We show up and clean your gutters on a regular basis without you having to remember to call,” Anthony assures. “Most subscriptions include two to six cleanings per year.”
In addition, subscribers take priority during scheduling.
Exterior Window Cleaning
The Gutter Boys also clean your exterior windows with no ladder and no squeegee.
“It’s called water-fed pole window cleaning,” Anthony explains. “We use a three-stage water purification system to eliminate all particles in the water that could leave spots or residue. The result is a spot-free clean from safely on the ground.”
