Fall’s the Time to Hire a Handyman for Gutter Cleaning and Repair

Schedule Now

Gutter cleaning and repair deserve top spots on your fall maintenance list. Hiring a handyman to handle this task is the safest route to avoid potential personal injury from wobbly ladders and unstable footing. Leaving this particular fall maintenance job to the experts insures work is done quickly and properly.

Importance of Gutter Maintenance

It’s likely that you only consider the condition of your gutters during inclement weather, but it’s important to maintain and clean them so they continue to function properly. As seasons change, leaves, seeds and other debris build up in the gutters, which can lead to clogged gutters and downspouts. When the water can’t flow freely through gutters and downspouts, it overflows in other spots, leading to roof, siding, foundation and landscape damage. Preventing this damage is easy with gutter cleaning and repair by a skilled handyman.

Frequency of Gutter Cleaning and Repair

To insure the best performance from your home’s gutters, have them cleaned and inspected once or twice a year. When there are trees overhanging the roof and gutters, the frequency of gutter maintenance needs to keep up with how quickly they clog with tree debris. Spring and fall are often when gutters endure the most use and abuse, so make sure they’re ready for the seasons. Another vital time to clean gutters is after a storm, when increased debris quickly causes clogs and potential damage.

Gutter Guards

Having gutter guards installed can help reduce the amount of debris that collects in the drainage system, but they’re not a maintenance-free solution. Guard styles include clip-on grates, mesh screens, and a porous foam material. Regular maintenance is required to keep gutter guards functioning properly. It’s also advisable to consult a handyman service about their potential benefits and drawbacks.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."
- Cassandra B.
"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
