On an average 1 story home in Orlando, the cost to have gutter cleaned is between $150 and $250. Gutter cleaning costs between $200 and $300 on an average 2 story home. Some Contractors base their price per linear foot, we find that to be a little confusing.

Gutter systems are designed to control the flow of water away from your home, preventing a list of problems. Here are the 5 most common issues.

• Flooded Basements – The number one cause of water damage in basements is clogged gutters. When rainwater comes off your roof and has nowhere to go, it will find the path of least resistance. This is, usually, inside your soffits and siding all the way to the lowest point in the home, your basement.

• Cracked Foundations – When water is allowed to settle around your home’s foundation and freezes it causes a condition called frost-heave. This can cause severe cracks to foundation walls.

• Insect breeding ground – Free standing water and debris filled gutters are a paradise for several species of insects. Mosquitoes, wood destroying insects, wasps, and even termites can live inside your gutters and find their way into your home.

Rotten Wood – The result of moisture being trapped and cut off from air circulating to dry out the wood fascia around the house can destroy your home. The rotted area will quickly worsen if the gutters are not cleaned.

At Curb Appeal Power Clean we do not recommend to install both aluminum gutter screens and permanent gutter guards. The best way to ensure healthy gutters is to have them cleaned regularly. In most cased “Gutter Guards or Screens” make it more difficult to clean and trap debris inside the gutter that in a windy day might have blown it out. Gutter cleaning is necessary to keep your property safe and looking great all year-round.

The debris we manage to scoop out of your gutter system is bagged and put on our truck or in your green waste bin; we dispose of it so you don’t have to worry.

In Los Angeles along with many other cities and states in America gutters become clogged by leaves which fall twice a year. These leaves fall and accumulate on your gutters and with the combination of rain, they decompose and become debris. Angelenos that have had Gutter Cleaning performed know that during the summer seed pods and blossoms and done falling and they too clog the gutters as well as underground drains on the system. Small creatures such as birds and squirrels may build nests inside or behind your gutters.

Gutter Guards or Screens may look nice but they will run you a ton of money in the long run. Every gutter screen that we’ve run across in Los Angeles allows small leaves, needles and seed through. The result is that downspouts still get covered and gutters still need to be cleaned. There is also additional labor involved with removing, cleaning and reinstalling the screens.

If you’re having any cleaning done, you do not need any materials because we take everything we need. You also don’t even have to be present. If not there, we will inform you of our visit and once we are finished, we leave a note under the door with a receipt.

After a certain amount of time or difficult conditions, your gutters will not run as smoothly as they did before, therefore they will not work properly. A good sign of this is water coming over the top, dripping water without it raining. These are obvious signs of a clogged gutter system but there are other signs that clearly aren’t as noticeable for that reason we recommend you have Gutter Cleaning done at least once a year.

Gutter Cleaning should be performed by a professional for safety reasons. Every year, dozens of accidents are caused by attempts to unclog gutter systems by someone that does not have the experience required to perform such task. It is also cost-effective to have an expert do the job for you as you might damage the gutters to the point that it may cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars to repair.
