Winter is over and now is the perfect time to turn your attention to your home’s exterior and get it ready for the coming warmer weather. While you may think to repaint your siding or have your roof inspected, there’s one aspect of home maintenance that should not be neglected: cleaning your gutters. The team at Chandler Roofing & Construction in Red Wing, MN, knows that gutter cleaning is a priority during the early spring and can make all the difference in keeping your home in good condition throughout the year.

Minnesota is known for its snow and ice, and all the moisture during the winter can collect in your gutters. As the ice expands and contracts, it can damage the gutter system and increase the risk of water damage to your siding and the roof itself. Any debris that collected on your roof was likely deposited in the gutters as the ice thawed, causing a buildup of material that can easily clog the drainage system.

GuttersWhile clogs may seem like little more than an inconvenience for homeowners, it also presents a major hazard to the structure of your home and the integrity of your roof. The dirt and debris in clogged gutters is a perfect habitat for insects and pests as well as a hotbed for mold and mildew growth. When left unchecked, these problems can do long-term damage to your home’s exterior and cause premature breakdown of the building materials.

Rather than waiting until you notice a problem, schedule a gutter cleaning when the weather starts to warm up. Work with an experienced contractor at Chandler Roofing & Construction and rest assured that your gutter system will be cleaned and inspected before the spring storms roll in.
