Gutters

Cleaning out the gutters is a chore most homeowners would rather skip.

Gutter guards could be worth the extra cost, but still, they are not the perfect fix. After making my way through several Google searches, I've learned there is NO existing gutter system that doesn’t require some sort of intentional maintenance.

Supposedly, the most frustrating thing to fix is a shingle grit; nothing, absolutely nothing keeps it out, and it acts just like sand. The newer the shingles, the more grit you will get.

The best you can do is prolong the periods between cleaning. I'm just trying to prep for winter, not an unholy storm.

Snow tires, a cute winter coat and hat, that's a little more my speed. But, indeed, the year is winding down, we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

Instead of gutter annoyance, I want to offer assurance! The reminder that each day matters will go further than a tip on how to clean out grout in 3 steps or less.

Here's to you sharing moments that matter, and cleaning your gutters every year.
