Gutters and Windows

I wish you all the luck with this task. I hate doing it myself and prefer to hire it out. What I have found is that a couple of principles apply to these tasks.
  1. Do the windows in the spring after the storms are done and all those drips and rain drops tend not to get on the window on an everyday basis and dry-up as a spot. A repeat in the late summer/fall again to clarify the view out your window. Forget about the late fall and through the Fall. It's a mess and will just get spots and smudges again and again.
  2. Do the gutters in the early winter and perhaps again[it depends] if you de-moss your roof. This issue was talked about in the roof section in a previous blog post. When I de-mossed my roof my gutters filled with moss debris shortly after. This is "muck type stuff" as it cleans and all the small particles wash down into the gutter. Also the thing that has to be done is a insurance that the down-spout is clear and clean. A real pro will disconnect the down-spout as it's being cleaned so that the "debris" washes out and not into the side-sewer [in case you didn't know it your down-spouts are connected to the side sewer, so-called clean water that goes back to nature directly]
I really don't have anyone in particular that stands out in this field that I have used. I have had good luck with D&D Windows and Gutters for about $350. They tell me today that a blog special is clean windows, inside and out, gutters and downspouts for $275. I can tell you from being in the Medical field that you couldn't pay me to get up on a ladder to do that job. D&D has responded to a small issue that I have had in the past with good response.
