[Grovenet] Gutters are falling down here

[Teri]

A local business here in town that does gutter cleaning along with his other
work is Dutchman Pressure Washing -- his name is Rafael Verlinden
(503-805-5534) and he does a great job.

OK -- guess we are up to 6 cents worth now!!

I'm with Bob, so now we're up to $0 .04 worth.  
As a landlord and homeowner I've tried various gutter protection devices and
my conclusion is that it's best to have open gutters and clean them at least
once a year.  You can cut down the number of ladder positions by making a
gutter mop out of a bamboo pole with a rag tied around one end.  If you hire
somebody to clean your gutters, check their work; some guys do less than
they say.  Also, don't forget to snake out the gutter drains underground
because they can get clogged with roots, leaves, or other debris -which can
lead to foundation leakage.

I strongly recommend open if cleaning is not a problem and you have plenty
of downspouts. I do not recommend LeafGuard, since a whole lot of stuff
falls that will not end up in the gutter (snow, ice, etc.) but on the ground
near your foundation. The LeafFilter is great; well, that is until the end
of the third week when the filter is plugged up and you have no way to
backwash it!!

Just my $0.02 worth.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to whether to purchase LeafGuard
(the reverse S, nothing can get in type), or LeafFilter (the micro-woven
steel ³cloth² covers the gutter), or the open variety (must be cleaned but
no doubt cheaper in the first place)?

Does anyone have any suggestions for who to employ to do the task?

Thanks.
Kristy
