The Costs of Gutter Cleaning vs. Gutter Protection

By February 15, 2016October 18th, 2023No Comments

Clogging is one of your gutters’ most common issues, and can lead to extensive damage if ignored. If you want to extend the life of your gutter system and benefit longer from its performance, make sure that it’s always free of leaves and debris. Home improvement experts usually recommend gutter cleaning twice a year, once in fall and once in spring. However, you should also consider whether the expense involved with gutter cleaning is worth it.

Gutter Helmet Systems of Philadelphia-NJ, the premier company for quality gutter protection service in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, looks at the differences between gutter cleaning and installing gutter shields.

Gutter Cleaning

Gutter cleaning may look simple enough. All you have to do is climb up the ladder and scoop out the debris accumulated inside your gutters. For the untrained homeowner, however, this can prove very risky and stressful. That’s when hiring the professionals for gutter cleaning makes sense. After all, you’re only going to need the service twice a year. Why not take a second to conduct an estimate on the long-term costs associated with gutter cleaning, though?

For instance, hiring a company for the service may range from $65 to $300, depending on the length of your gutters. Gutter cleaning is done at least twice a year, with the life expectancy of your gutter system about 50 years. Multiply these factors and you could spend tens of thousands of dollars for gutter cleaning alone.

Gutter Shields

Gutter shields can eliminate the need for regular gutter cleaning. Since they serve as a filter for leaves and debris, you can prevent the clogs which can lead to extensive water damage. Gutter Helmet Systems of Philadelphia-NJ offers reliable gutter shields from Gutter Helmet®, North America’s top choice for gutter protection. With its patented nose-forward design, Gutter Helmet effectively sheds off debris while allowing rainwater to flow through smoothly. Once installed, you won’t have to worry about mounting costs related to gutter cleaning,  and enjoy a healthy return on investment in as little as six years.
