Maintaining clean and functional gutters is important any time of year, but becomes particularly crucial as the weather grows colder. Blocked or damaged gutters can cause considerable damage over the winter, representing hundreds or thousands of dollars in repair costs.
Fortunately, with a few simple steps and little to no money, homeowners can take a few simple steps during the fall months to ensure they enjoy the benefits of their gutters all winter long. Having a gutter collapse outside your home may not ruin your holiday festivities, but it may very well be an inconvenience. Having your gutters prepped for winter can avoid some of the common problems homes with gutters face. Before the first snow hits, take these steps to protect your gutters from the elements and save yourself money.
