Safe gutter cleaning means working at height on a ladder, often near a wet, slippery roof edge. If you are not comfortable on a ladder, or your home has more than one story, hiring a licensed, bonded and insured gutter cleaning company is the safer choice.
What DIY gutter cleaning involves
- Climbing and moving a ladder around the whole house
- Scooping wet debris by hand at the roof edge
- Clearing the gutters and downspouts afterward
- Doing it again whenever the gutters fill
If you do it yourself, use a stable ladder on firm, level ground, have someone with you, and stay off wet roofs.
Why hire insured gutter cleaning
Northwest Window Cleaning is licensed, bonded and insured in Washington (Lic# NWWINWC751KN). You stay safely on the ground while we do the work. [Client to add what your insurance covers, if you want to explain it.]
How we clean gutters
We hand scoop the debris from your gutters, then blow them out with an air blower so nothing is left to cause overflows, leaks or clogs. We can also clean the gutter faces to remove moss, black streaks and dirt.
Window washer safety: why we use water-fed poles
For windows, our water-fed extension pole equipment reaches upper floors from the ground. It is a safer method of window cleaning than large ladders or lifts, and it is better for your windows too.
