Pressure Washing

Everything You Need to Know: Pressure Washing FAQ

Pressure washing is a high pressure, water cleaning method that can remove dirt, stains, and mildew from a surface.

Sidewalks, decks, driveways, and siding can all be pressure washed.

We use care and consideration for each surface we pressure wash. While most surfaces can be pressure washed, we use varying levels of pressure depending on if it’s a hard or soft surface to ensure the surface is cleaned and not damaged.

While you may pressure wash yourself, it’s best to hire a professional because they have the right tools, skills, and know how to get the job done right.

We have some crazy Colorado weather so it depends on the area of town you’re in. Generally, it’s best to pressure wash annually to keep your house looking clean!

Generally, yes. We are able to use different cleaning agents (mixed with the right amount of pressure) that are able to break down the oil stains.

Gutter Cleaning

Gutter Cleaning 101: Answers to Your Most Common Questions

Regular gutter and downspout cleaning can help lengthen the life of your gutters by preventing water back up. It also ensures that the gutters don’t overflow in the wrong place and cause water to run towards the house instead of away from the house.

Consider cleaning your gutters twice per year – in the Spring and the Fall. Depending on how many trees you have and how much rain there is, you may need to clean them more than twice a year.

While you can certainly clean the gutters yourself, why risk getting up on a ladder and potentially falling off? Our professionals are well trained to ensure a safe worksite and clean gutters.

Clogged gutters can cause water damage, mildew/mold, and structural issues. Regular cleaning can help to prevent repairs and flooding down the road.

In Colorado, things can get dry. It is recommended by the fire department to clean your gutters throughout the year as buildup can create a combustion hazard.

Gutter Guards

Understanding Gutter Guards

Gutter guards are protective covers installed over gutters to prevent leaves, debris, and other objects from clogging your gutter system. They help prevent clogging, which causes various problems, including water damage to your home’s structure, foundation issues, and unwanted pests.

Several types of gutter guards are available, including mesh, reverse curve, bottle brush, nylon, and foam types. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. We’d be happy to chat with you about your options!

Gutter guards help reduce the number of times your gutters need to be cleaned annually. While it helps, it’s no replacement for checking your gutters at least once or twice a year to ensure everything works correctly. 

Yes, gutter guards can work in snowy or icy conditions. Since Colorado Springs experiences lots of snowfall in the winter, heated gutter guards can be used to prevent build-ups.

While installing gutter guards yourself is possible, we recommend hiring a professional to ensure the installation is done correctly and safely. We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about the installation process!

The cost to install gutter guards can vary widely depending on factors like material costs and labor costs. Gutter guards can range from as low as $.50 per foot for basic foam models to $10 per foot for high-end, micro-mesh systems.

While you technically can install gutter guards yourself, we recommend hiring a professional to install your gutter guards. It can be a dangerous job as you will be using a ladder to navigate your rooftop. It can also take some research to know how to install the gutter guards properly for a snug fit.
