The Smarter Gutter Cover!

Hello Everyone,

Because we got such a good response from the How to do Gutter Cleaning we thought a few suggestions on pressure washing could be helpful.

Suggestions on Pressure Washing:

Electric Power washers ($165 or so) are good 1800 psi is usually sufficient when you use an effective chemical for your home.  Also you can buy attachments like an extension rod which will get you closer to the dirt or jets which spin and clean decks and driveways.  The chemical should be able to “eat away” the algae and dirt without hurting any plants or animals.  The following is a method you can use:

1. Remove any items that can be damaged
2. Set up your pressure washer directly below where you will use the ladder with enough slack to reach the higher places
3. Set up your ladder with a 2 or 3 story house to reach the higher spots
4. Always start from the very top of the house and work your way down so dirt and cobwebs and debris will flow down to the bottom
5. I like to pre-soak the area then apply the chemical with a pump sprayer to use it sparingly then let is soak for 5-8 minutes
6. Rinse off the area- basically you are washing your home not blasting it and possibly damaging the exterior of your home
7. I like to use electric because they are affordable, quiet, clean and do a good job

Hello, we wanted to help those who have not yet experienced the fun of Gutter Cleaning.

1. Use a ladder that is safe. You can purchase a stand-off (stabilizer) from Home Depot or Lowes for around $20 which will prevent the ladder from sliding or falling sideways. Also levelers are a great added safety feature for unlevel surfaces.

2. You can either use a 5 gallon bucket to put the debris in or use a gas blower from the roof if it is low pitched and safe to walk.

3. There are certain chemicals you can use to make your gutters look bright white and new again also but they need to be “hand” rubbed to apply.

If you need any assistance we would be happy to help fix your gutter problems forever if you so desire with our lifetime gutter guards. Contact Ben Rutter 919-219-2289 [email protected] or https://www.raleighgutterguards.com.
